Cleverley Farms will exit DM farmers’ market at season’s end

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News MINGO — A popular Mingo organic farmer announced Friday he’s giving up his table at the downtown Des Moines Farmers’ Market after 20 years.

Larry Cleverley of Cleverley Farms made the revelation on the business’ Facebook page the afternoon before the market’s opening day on Saturday.

“I should probably mention that this year will be our last at the #DTFM,” Cleverley wrote. “20 years seemed like a nice round number on which to stop.”

Cleverley is calling his last year at the market his “farewell tour,” but Cleverley Farms will continue supplying locally-owned Des Moines-area restaurants with fresh produce and will maintain its Community Supported Agriculture program. The Jasper County farmer said he also intends to have a weekly CSA pickup/pop-up market at The Cheese Shop, a northwestern Des Moines restaurant.

The Mingo farmer has become known for more than his food since 2015 when he began a public fight with CLEVERLEY | 3A

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Mingo produce farmer Larry Cleverley, right, sells his organic produce at the downtown Des Monies Farmers’ Market Saturday, beginning his final season after 20 years as a vendor. Cleverley, who owns and operates Cleverley Farms, said his departure is not due to the IDOT’s decision to take nearly 50 aces of his land for Highway 330/65/117 safety improvements. He said he’ll still be active in the Des Moines restaurant scene and maintain his Community Supported Agricultural program.

Blades on Rails

Pacesetter to continue career at Grand View

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News A train is loaded with wind turbine blades north of Newton near the TPI Composites facility. As the blades get bigger, shipping via truck become more difficult. Blades will begin to be shipped across state lines on rail cars.

TPI begins shipping by rail

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News More than 2,000 meters of wind turbine blades made their first trip on the railroad from TPI Composites on Thursday. Heading toward Texas, 36 blades measuring 57 meters each used the newest form of transportation provided by the company.

“We’ve been looking at options for this for quite a while, probably six months, to see what kind of options were available to us for this form of shipping,” TPI General Manager Terry Van Huysen said. “(We are) very exited to start, it extends out reach of where our blades can go, and

it will be cost effective.”

Since opening its Newton plant in 2007, the blades produced have grown 20 meters in length from 37 meter blades to 57 meters. Previously, two blades were able to ship at one time, but with the increase in length only one blade can be placed on a truck, increasing shipping costs.

“As the blades get bigger and bigger it is more difficult to ship them by truck. We’re shipping 57 meter blades right now and when you see them going down the highway, you can feel how big they really are,” Van Huysen said. “It is much more expensive to ship those big blades

by trucks, especially the long distances.”

With the continued growth of the blades, TPI, along with its customers, began to look at ways to be more cost effective in the area of shipping.

With its 316,000 square foot production facility located next door to the Iowa Interstate Railroad, traveling by train was a logical option for TPI. Work began a week in advance of the shipment with the blades being loaded onto the rail cars.

The first group to hit the rails consisted of 36 blades with each blade using two rail cars each. The shipment is on a three-week trip to deliver the blades in Texas be-

fore returning to Newton to reload.

Van Huysen said the company will assess which shipments will benefit using the rails while still utilizing truck shipments.

“It kind of depends on the destination. The further away, the more sense it makes to transport by rail. If they are relatively close, like in Iowa, it would still makes more sense to use trucks,” Van Huysen said.

TPI currently employs about 950 workers at its Newton location. It also has locations in Warren, R.I., Springfield, Ohio and TaiCang, China. TPI is opening a second location in Juarez, Mexico later this year.

There are 33 student-athletes who have made the 2016-17 Grand View University dance team.

Fortunately, Macey Caves feels she’ll not only fit in with the team, but won’t be overwhelmed by the talent level on the squad.

The Newton High School senior was joined by her family and coaches Wednesday to sign her letter of intent to attend Grand View and become a member of the dance program on a scholarship, having made the 2016-17 competitive team roster a few weeks prior.

“I’m a little nervous because all of the dancers there are so amazing,” Caves said. “But they’re also very kind. I’m confident they’ll help me in any way that I need it.”

Caves was joined at Wednesday’s signing by her parents, Kenny and Lora, her brother Reece, Grand View cheer and dance coach Stacie Horton and Newton Pacesetters coach Paige Meredith. Horton is about to begin her 15th year at Grand View.

The four-year member of the Pacesetters said she had given a few other schools a look, but really wanted to attend Grand View because of its nursing program, and hoped to continue her dance career as well.

“I love dancing,” she said.

“I’ve done it since I was about 2 years old. I can’t imagine my life without it.”

City takes steps to combat landfill litter

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To help combat litter at the Newton Sanitary Landfill, a portable fence was purchased to catch fly away trash.

The fence was recommended by city staff and landfill 28-E members following the landfill budget workshop

meeting in January.

The landfill is required to pick up litter that leaves the active fill area daily. When litter is blown from the active fill area, it is dispersed over a large area making it difficult to keep up with litter collection.

If the litter becomes airborne, which is often the case

with plastic bags and paper, it can be carried over the perimeter landfill fence. Currently, part-time staff collects the litter outside of the active fill area each day.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources, which inspects the landfill, has also noted on several occasions litter was getting away from

Former Newton resident to become executive director

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News All a part of the new businesses at the former Newton County Club, Dr. Matt Cross, Dr. Connie Ertl, Kim Johnson and Jessica Ellis are building a wellness center to help refresh and relax the community of Newton.

Three new businesses at former country club

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A one stop shop for overall wellness — that is what Connie Ertl hopes community members will find at her new wellness center at the former Newton County Club, 601 W. 12th St. S. Inside of the center, you can find Spinal Solutions, Ertl’s longtime chiropractic business, DeVyne Solutions Salon featuring stylist Jessica Ellis and Kim Johnson serving up breakfast and lunch at The Breakfast Club Cafe. Also located on the property and owned by Ertl is The Gingerbread House Daycare and Preschool which opened in 2014.

“Get your hair done, get life adjusted, it’s a wellness place for people to come including a place for people to gather,” Johnson said.

Ertl has been working to bring the wellness center to life for more than two years. She visited several locations before landing at the former country club. Even after finding a location, she had an uphill battle to get the former restaurant and clubhouse in working order.

With years of hard work put into the location, she is finally ready to open her doors and welcome the community of Newton in.

At Spinal Solutions, Ertl and her new associate Dr. Matt Cross are offering the same services they provided at their former location, including popular spinal decompression.

The nonsurgical spinal rehabilitation program is for chronic conditions of the spine. Ertl also treats patients with disc disease, sciatica, stenosis, radiculopathy and other painful spinal disorders.

Next door to Spinal Solutions, stylist Jessica Ellis and Esthetician Kristen Henderson are ready to work their beauty magic at DeVyne Solutions.

Offering full salon services including color and chemical services along with waxing, sunless tanning, tanning, manicures and pedicures, the salon has something for everyone.

The salon is also looking to put together a bridal package for a multi-day experience before the big day.

“We want to put a package together where on Friday you could get a pedicure, manicure

and massage. Then they would come along on Saturday to get their hair and makeup done,” Ertl said.

Appointments can be made at DeVyne Solutions by calling 641-787-0039 or 641-888-0207.

The former bar area of the club is now home to The Breakfast Club Cafe, a cozy room with a beautiful view serving breakfast and lunch menus.

“We are starting off with a daily special of a few items.

People can expect to come in daily and see specials on the board for our breakfasts and our lunches,” Johnson said.

The cafe has baked goods and gourmet coffee available throughout the day and is also available for private parties at 4 p.m.

The Breakfast Club is open from 7 to 10:30 a.m. serving breakfast and 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. serving lunch, Monday through Friday.

To contact any of the businesses in the wellness center call 641-791-2323.

Former Newton resident Megan Kahn will become to the executive director of the Alliance of Women Coaches effective Aug. 1.

Kahn has been with the Alliance for four years, most recently as Director of Events and Communication. A former college assistant basketball coach in Texas, she has worked as an athletic administrator with the Atlantic Coast and Atlantic 10 conferences and formed her own consulting company.

An important aspect of the AlliKahn ance’s work is establishing and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with the NCAA, the governing body of college sports, and with athletic administrators at the institutions where women coaches work.

“Megan is well-positioned to guide the Alliance to continued success, and I look forward to continued partnerships with the Alliance team to provide meaningful educational opportunities for women coaches,” NCAA Director of Inclusion Amy Wilson said.

The Alliance of Women Coaches was founded in 2011 by Judy Sweet, a former athletic director at the University of California, San Diego and NCAA senior vice president, and Celia Slater, former head women’s basketball coach and senior woman administrator at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. The Alliance has become an important and trusted voice, resource and community for all women coaches. For more information, visit gocoaches.org.

Applications available for Theisen’s More for Your Community grants Theisen’s recently announced the launch of the 2016 Theisen’s More for Your Community Grants program. Supported by Theisen’s charitable fund and through a partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, grants will be made available in all Theisen’s store communities.

This year, more than $250K in total grants will be distributed to the region served by Theisen’s, with each store having at least $5,000 available.

The maximum request per project application is $5,000. Applications are available starting May 1 at www.dbqfoundation.org/theisens and directions to access the application are also available at each store.

The deadline to apply is Aug. 15.

Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government-sponsored, or school-sponsored organizations and directly serving children and families within a 60-mile radius of a Theisen’s store.

Theisen’s Home Farm Auto has donated more than $1.2 million through the grant program since its inception, and supports many other community events and organizations directly.

Hiring slowdown in April may signal caution about US economy WASHINGTON (AP) — American employers signaled their caution about a sluggish economy by slowing their pace of hiring in April after months of robust job growth.

At the same time, companies raised pay, and their employees worked more hours — a combination that lifted income and, if sustained, could quicken the U.S. expansion.

As a whole, the government’s report Friday pointed to an American job market that con-

tinues to generate steady hiring, though at a rate that may be starting to slow. Employers added 160,000 jobs in April, well below the average gain of 243,000 in the prior six months.

But the unemployment rate remained a low 5 percent, roughly where it’s been since last fall.

“Employment was never going to continue rising at more than 200,000 a month indefinitely,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, a consulting firm. “Those

monthly gains are simply unsustainable” at a time of tepid economic growth.

Over the past six months, the economy has expanded at an annual pace of just 1 percent.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that some employers have become concerned that sluggish growth could weaken customer demand and limit the need for more employees.

Still, most economists said they were not worried about the weaker hiring in April. In

large part, it reflected declines in retail and construction hiring, an expected pullback after hiring in those areas surged in the first quarter of 2016.

And job gains have slipped before — most recently in January — without signaling any persistent slump.

“The figures are a yellow light, not a red flag,” said Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist at Glassdoor, an employment website.

April’s hiring slowdown may

also reflect a long-expected shift to a more sustainable pace of job creation. The job market has added 200,000-plus jobs a month for more than three years. That’s harder to achieve once unemployment falls to 5 percent, consistent with a nearly recovered economy.

“The good news is that more people were employed, they worked longer hours and got paid more for it,” said Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica Bank.

Breckenridge endorsed by AFSCME Iowa Council 61

Submitted Photo A Newton High School senior has made a commitment to attend and join the dance team at Grand View University in Des Moines. Macy Caves, seated, center, signed a letter of intent Wednesday. To Caves’ right and left are her parents, Kenny and Lora. In back are from the left, Newton Pacesetters coach Paige Meredith, Macey Caves’ brother, Reece, and Grand View dance coach Stacie Horton.

Continued from Page 1A Caves’ mother, Lora, a reading specialist teacher at Berg Elementary School, also attended Grand View. She thinks of her alma mater as a welcoming and encouraging environment.

“I graduated from Grand View 24 years ago,” Lora Caves said. “When I took Macey on a tour a year ago, one of the staff members recognized me and gave me a huge hug. Grand View is a small school. The staff are

Cleverley Continued from Page 1A the Iowa Department of Transportation, as the agency pushed Cleverley to give up approximately 50 acres of his family’s land — including his USDA certified organic field — to make way for a $14.4 million diamond interchange at the intersections of U.S. Highway 330/66/117 and Highway F17.

The IDOT maintains the interchange design is the safest option to bypass one of the deadliest dual intersections in the state. The onemile stretch of highway north of Mingo and west of Baxter has seen 121 crashes since 2003, resulting in 11 deaths. Cleverley took his fight to the Iowa Transportation Commission in October 2015, but the board struck down a proposal to scrap the project in a 4-3 vote.

very friendly and helpful.”

Lora Caves said she also wanted to see her daughter continue dancing.

“Dance is her passion,” Lora Caves said. “As a parent, I hated the thought of her stopping something that she has loved to do. Also, I wanted her to be able to find her place at Grand View, so I encouraged her to try out for the dance team.

One of the other 33 dancers who made the 2016-17 Grand View competitive squad is Kaci Hodge — a 2013 Newton High School gradu-

ate who Macey Caves describes as a good friend. They’re joined by at least three other former Pacesetters who are active with other college dance teams.

Macey Caves said in addition to the support of family and friends through the years, it seems dance itself has been a friend to her in stressful moments.

“Whenever I’m mad, nervous or just upset, dance brings me out of it,” she said.

Construction is slated to begin on the project in 2017.

Near the end of Saturday trading, with just a few green onions and salad greens left to sell on his Court Avenue table, Cleverley told the Newton Daily News the decision to depart the farmers’ market was made over the winter but was not due to his fight with the state agency.

“It has nothing to do with the IDOT. It’s just time to slow down and have a life 12 months-a-year instead of just four,” Cleverley said.

When Cleverley first began selling at the Des Moines farmers’ market in 1997, there were just 50 vendors, and he remembers his table near Third Street was the end of the market. In present day, Cleverley Farms is surrounded by nearly 300 vendors and his table is at the market’s midpoint.

Cleverley has become a staple at

the farmers’ market since returning from New York and taking over his family farm in 1996, producing nearly 50 varieties of vegetables.

Cleverley helped bring farm-to-table culture to central Iowa, selling — among others edibles — lettuce, salad grains, potatoes, beets and garlic to both the public and local restaurants.

“The market’s been good to us, and it’s allowed us to develop a synergy between our restaurant business and our market business,” he said. “We got people to put our names on the menu and no one had every done that before. I didn’t know much about farming when I started but I knew about marketing. So if people wanted to replicate that meal, they had to come here. It’s been good.”

Continued from Page 1A “It will help us save time picking up the litter,” Laube said. “Once it starts blowing across the landfill it can cover a large area.”

When selecting a fence, staff recommended a fence 120 feet in length and standing 12 foot high. Bids were received from three vendors including Coastal Netting Systems, Bakersfield, Calif. for $20,625.00, Tex-Net Inc., Florence, N.J. for $21,522.00 and Metta Technologies, Inc., Toledo, Ohio for $23,876.00.

The $20,625 bid from Coastal Netting Systems was selected and includes three 40 food sections of fence that can be linked together and pivoted to maximize catching windblown litter. The fence was paid for using funds from the landfill fund.

The fence is expected to arrive at the landfill in the next week.

Let blue lights shine A

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

couple of weeks ago I stopped at a convenience store and pulled up next to a police squad car.

My son quickly waved and smiled at the officer behind the wheel. I didn’t recognize the officer, so I asked my son if he knew him. He didn’t, he said, he just wanted to say hi and hopefully give him some encouragement if he had a long night ahead. I was so proud of that comment.

As a journalist I’ve been uniquely positioned to work with law enforcement on a regular basis. As a matter of informing the public of safety issues from road conditions to serious crimes, reporters depend on law enforcement agencies to get timely and accurate information to our community.

Having worked in a few cities leading different newsrooms, it’s been important to me to have strong, professional relationships with local law enforcement. When I began working in Newton nearly two years ago, the Newton Police Department and Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office were among a few of my first visits. Having strong communication with these departments continues to be important to me.

What we do goes well beyond printing the police blotter, which is most certainly only a minor glimpse into local law enforcement activity.

While it’s our responsibility to publish public records, we take greater privilege in knowing those who are

serving our communities.

Inserted into today’s newspaper you will find our Salute to Law Enforcement, a special section we are introducing for the first time in conjunction with Police Week. Having launched a similar project at a previous post, I was anxious to see if local agencies would consider partnering with us to celebrate a Law Enforcement Employee of the Year. Gratefully, they were.

Nominations were accepted internally at the sheriff ’s office and NPD and a Newton Daily News panel made the final selection. As a result, you have a great story to read about Officer Brian Foster, and I get to present the award to him on Thursday at the Peace Officer Memorial ceremony.

Law enforcement employees, much like firefighters and EMS personnel, are typically very humble.

They see their exceptional work as just part of the job and their role

as just one member of a team. But I think Police Week is a great opportunity to recognize a job well done.

I hope this recognition is the beginning of a longstanding tradition at the Newton Daily News.

One of the cool, simple ways you can show your support this week for the brave men and women who serve our community is Project Blue Light. You can pick up blue light bulbs for $10 at the Newton Police Department and support the Police Memorial at the NPD. Just leave your porch light on this week and say thanks.

It’s my hope that when an officer drives by our house and sees the pillars at the end of our driveway are lit up blue, they will realize how much they are appreciated. Perhaps it will provide some encouragement for a long night ahead.

Eye on America John Stossel

Money down a hole The Republican and Democratic presidential nominees have been chosen. Ignore the deluded supporters of Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz. It’s over. The odds at ElectionBettingOdds.com make it clear: It will be Donald vs. Hillary.

A closer contest would be: Who will bankrupt America first, Trump or Clinton?

Trump’s a contender because he promises a trade war. That’s what gave us the Great Depression. Trump claims that China is “raping” America. No, Donald, rape is force . Your proposed tariffs are also force.

Trade is voluntary and good. Big difference.

Clinton might bankrupt America first, however, because Democrats promise more regulation and handouts — free college, free pre-K, higher minimum wage, etc. Similar activist government spending just destroyed Puerto Rico.

This week, Puerto Rico defaulted on $370 million worth of bonds.

The territory’s “generous” government squandered the island’s resources. Decades of leftist governors hired their friends. In Puerto Rico and Greece, about one in four workers works for government, compared to 14.6 percent in the mainland U.S. Puerto Rico’s current governor points out that Puerto Ricans enjoy 30 days of paid vacation every year, 18 sick days and 14 paid holidays. That’s about two months paid leave every year. No wonder businesses wither.

The government gives “free” energy to government-owned enterprises. This encouraged “investments” like the government-owned ice rink. Yes, ice skating was what bureaucrats thought the tropical island needed. Maybe they saw that movie, “Cool Runnings,” and thought winter sports in the tropics sounded fun.

Puerto Rico’s long reliance on handouts and welfare created a culture of helplessness and entitlement.

A U.S. inspector general found that some Puerto Ricans got Social Security disability payments because of their “inability to communicate in English.” Really.

They live on a Spanish-speaking island.

After years of decline, one Puerto Rican governor tried to do the right thing. Luis Fortuno, a free market guy who admired Ronald Reagan, froze government salaries, cut spending by 20 percent, eliminated some stupid regulations and fired 17,000 government workers. At the time, 250 policemen did nothing but approve liquor licenses.

Fortuno’s policies might have helped the economy, but voters didn’t like the cuts. Thousands of union protesters held demonstrations outside his house, calling him a Nazi. Fortuno was defeated in the 2012 election by a leftist, Garcia Padilla.

Padilla pledged to “create 50,000 jobs.” But governments don’t create real jobs. Padilla destroyed jobs by doing things like raising corporate taxes. As the island went broke, he promised to “cut down on tax evasion,” “create two working groups to find ways to boost liquidity,” and so on.

Give me a break.

This week, former governor Fortuno emailed me, “The territory’s government increased expenses by almost 10 percent in 2013. That move commenced a downward spiral.”

Now, more than a thousand Puerto Ricans leave the island every week for places with slightly less-bad politicians. But this will make life even tougher for Puerto Ricans left behind. Government having fewer suckers to tax makes it even harder to pay the bills.

Puerto Rico’s debt has risen in the past 15 years from 60 percent to 100 percent of its gross domestic product. If it were a country, its fiscal situation would be about as bad as that of Greece. Like Greece, Puerto Rico is discovering that, eventually, other people get tired of bailing you out.

We know little research has been focused on the need to repair and refurbish school buildings because of the impact that the condition of buildings has on the students, rather than just the need to maintain local school district’s capital investment. Yet, a study done in Washington,

The refugee problem In considering the refugee problem some people say let us slow it down and sort it out, others simply say no more. Pastors and church agencies say we must take them in.

D.C., showed an improvement in the school’s condition is associated with a 5.5-point improvement in average academic achievement scores. Who wouldn’t want to see that for our students here in Newton? Why wouldn’t we want to give our students every advantage that a new facility would offer?

During the successful 1998 “Preserve the Pride Build the Future” campaign, our community promised the students of Newton 21st Century Schools.

Well, guess what? Now we need

to do even better. The Class of 2029 will start school in the fall of 2016 and as taxpayers, we need to make sure these students have the same opportunity to be successful as Newton’s first graduating Class of 1875.

Please join with us in the efforts to enhance our community and help ensure the success of our future leaders by supporting the up coming school bond issue on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Funeral costs need covering after boyfriend’s sudden death DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of 5 1/2 years died unexpectedly. Like so many other Americans, he didn’t have life insurance or any money to cover his funeral. For the last 2 1/2 years I provided the primary financial support when he came and lived with me.

His mother made the decisions about the casket and service. She asked that money instead of flowers be given to help pay for the cost of the funeral.

Around $4,000 is still owed. She now says the remaining cost should be divided between her, her exhusband and me.

I don’t think I should be obligated to assume a third of the funeral costs.

If I had been married to him, the situation would be different. I have friends and family who agree with me and others who don’t. If I tell his mother it isn’t my responsibility to pay, she and other family members may never speak to me again. What is your response to this scenario? — WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? DEAR WHO: This may seem negative, but of this I am positive: Even if you do pay a third of the funeral expenses, those people may turn away from you anyway. So do as your conscience dictates and nobody else.

DEAR ABBY: It has been more than 30 years since I knew the whereabouts of my brother, my only sibling.

Over the years, I have searched for him off and on, especially when there were major life events. Both of our parents have died, with my mother cursing him at the end. My family believed he was probably dead since no one had heard from him, even to ask for money.

Yesterday, I Googled his name, and to my surprise his mug shot popped up. It appears he has been incarcerated for most of the 30 years and has a rap sheet a mile long. Nothing violent, just stealing. I am saddened to have

seen his photo this way and wonder why he never reached out to me. He has been alone, a criminal, for most of his life with no one to love or care about him.

My husband says don’t contact him, and I probably shouldn’t. I’d just like him to know that I have missed him and I am sad his life turned out this way. Am I a fool to want to know this hardened criminal? I am justifiably afraid that he could be big trouble. Please advise. — SAD SISTER IN TEXAS DEAR SAD SISTER: Your brother may have refrained from contacting the family because he was ashamed of the mess he had made of his life. So let’s follow your question to its logical conclusion.

You contact your incarcerated, career-criminal brother and tell him how sad you are that his life turned out this way. Then what? What will you do if he wants to correspond with you? If he wants money? If he needs a place to stay if he’s ever released?

Unless you are prepared to assume responsibility for someone you have had no contact with in decades, listen to your husband. You already have the information you were searching for, so don’t go looking for trouble — because your brother IS trouble.

Two killed in Greene County crash GRAND JUNCTION — Authorities say two men were killed in a Greene County car crash. The accident occurred about 6:30 a.m. Saturday on U.S. Highway 30 east of Grand Junction. The Iowa State Patrol says the car veered off the road after a curve, went through a guardrail and down an embankment into a tree. Both men died at the scene. The driver was identified as 36-yearold John Twombly, of Des Moines. His passenger was identified as 26-year-old Alexander Sharer, of Boone.

The vote was 3-1 in favor of the grant application to the National Park Service, but the resolution required four votes to pass.

CEDAR RAPIDS — A former Mount Mercy University basketball player has died after a Johnson County car crash.

The accident occurred a little after 3 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 380 near the Iowa Highway 965 overpass. The Iowa State Patrol says a northbound car driven by 26-year-old Rashad Carrington went out of control and struck a guardrail, then landed in a roadside ditch. He was pronounced dead later at an Iowa City hospital.

Couple charged after boy suffers long-term starvation ELDRIDGE — An eastern Iowa couple have been charged after doctors say a boy in their care suffered long-term starvation and had been denied medical care. The boy’s 29-year-old mother and her 24-year-old livein boyfriend were arrested and charged with one count each of child endangerment causing serious injury. Their bonds were set Friday at $25,000 each. If convicted, each faces up to 10 years in prison. Eldridge police say the boy, who is the woman’s son, suffers from a disorder that doesn’t allow his body to process proteins.

5 $7M Burnett family trust to go to Dallas Center groups

Last year’s payouts totaled to $258,000. The money is invested in farmland and stocks and is now worth about $7 million, fund trustee John Thomas said.

Lawsuit complicates reduction in phone rates at Iowa jails The Associated Press DES MOINES — County jails in Iowa will soon be required to follow new federal rules aimed at making it cheaper for inmates to call loved ones, but a pending lawsuit is expected to complicate the effort.

Locals officials who oversee the nearly 100 jails in Iowa are expected to be in compliance

by June 20 with reduced phone rates and fees in response to rules issued last October by the Federal Communications Commission. But other pro-

posed reductions on phone rates and fees are on hold amid a legal challenge by some telecommunications companies that provide the phone services.

Advocates say the Iowa Legislature should step in and set uniform costs, though some law enforcement officials argue such regulation before the lawsuit is settled could complicate things.

The Federal Communications Commission has reviewed inmate phone rates in recent years amid growing research that contact between

inmates and families reduces recidivism. High phone rates can make that communication unaffordable.

Jean Basinger, president of Iowa Citizens United for the Rehabilitation of Errants, which seeks prison reforms, said there needs to be more equity on calls made to and from jails after recent relief at state prisons. She noted jail inmates are often in temporary detainment and need to make timely calls.

“People who are in jail are needing to make all kinds of ar-

rangements with their support system on the outside,” she said.

“And yet they have such limited resources.”

In January, the Iowa Department of Corrections reduced phone charges at Iowa prisons from a flat rate of $2.90 for most calls to 11 cents per minute.

Gov. Terry Branstad applauded the move in his Condition of the State address as part of the state’s efforts to address criminal justice reform, though the change was also mandated by the FCC guidelines.

The telecommunications

Senate’s power brokers are aging; several to seek new terms WASHINGTON (AP) — Millennials have emerged as the nation’s largest living generation, yet that demographic shift isn’t reflected in the upper reaches of the Republican-controlled Senate, where the body’s oldest members are the power brokers.

And several are asking voters for new six-year terms.

At 82, Chuck Grassley wants Iowans to send him back to the Senate for a seventh time. The Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee pitches his seniority as a plus, telling voters he gives them a “big voice at the policymaking tables” in Washington.

Arizona’s John McCain, the 79-year-old chairman of the Armed Services Committee, also is running for re-election. So are Richard Shelby of Alabama, the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee chairman who turned 82 on Friday, and 71-yearold Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who leads the Veterans’ Affairs Committee and the Senate’s ethics panel.

Other committees are con-

trolled by senior Republicans whose terms don’t end for at least a few more years.

Orrin Hatch of Utah, the chairman of the Finance Committee, is 82 and has been Grassley a senator since 1977 — the same year Jimmy Carter was inaugurated as president, Elvis Presley died and the first Stars Wars movie came out.

Oklahoma’s James Inhofe is 81 and heads the Environment and Public Works Committee.

Pat Roberts of Kansas, 80, runs the Agriculture Committee and 78-year-old Thad Cochran of Mississippi leads the powerful Appropriations Committee. At 75, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee is chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is 74.

Three senior Democrats have

opted to retire at the end of the year: Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who is 76, along with Maryland’s Barbara Mikulski, 79, and California’s Barbara Boxer, 75.

But Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy, 76, is running for another term. Leahy, first elected in 1974, has been in office longer than any other currently serving senator — 41 years. He’s the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.

The average age of all senators actually has decreased from 63 to 61 since 2009 due to younger members from political parties being elected, according to the Congressional Research Service.

The youngest are members of Generation X: Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who turns 39 on May 13, and Cory Gardner, R-Colo., 41.

Millennials, who are Americans born between 1981 and 1997, numbered 75.4 million as of last July and surpassed the shrinking baby boomer population, according to Pew Research Center senior researcher Richard Fry.

companies in their federal lawsuit argue the FCC does not have the authority to regulate the phone rates. A U.S. court of appeals granted a temporary hold in March over in-state calls and other fees. It’s not expected to affect the changes at Iowa prisons, though it could mean different things for prisons in other states.

Iowa jails operate under separate oversight from state prisons. The lawsuit challenge means the roughly 4,000 jail inmates in Iowa must continue to pay a range of telephone rates.

Clear Lake theater gets new owners after 40 years CLEAR LAKE (AP) — For the first time in 40 years, new faces are running the show at the Lake Theater in Clear Lake.

Clear Lake resident Aaron Donaldson and Erin Schieffer, of Des Moines, bought the downtown Clear Lake theater from the Sherman family.

Donaldson, who visited the theater as a child, and Schieffer began running the theater 10 days ago during the showing of “Miracles From Heaven.”

“The community’s been very welcoming,” said Schieffer.

Donaldson agreed.

“Everybody’s been wishing us luck, wanting to see us do well,” he said.

Before taking the reins, Donaldson and Schieffer shadowed former owner Betty Sherman and her sons, Bob and John, for almost two months.

The Shermans have owned the theater since the 1970s when Bob Sherman, then working the projector, came home and told his parents it was for sale.

Betty Sherman, in particular, was an integral part of the theater. “(Patrons) miss seeing Betty behind the counter,” Schieffer said.

“Yes, Betty was a fixture. You could count on that you could come up here and Betty would be sitting here and you could get your ticket from her,” Donaldson said. “She’s not only seen kids grow up, she’s seen their kids grow up.”

Newton, PCM girls play Cardinal Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Managing the course — whichever golf course being played on — is part of the game of golf. Newton High’s Cardinal girls were playing at home at Westwood Golf Course Friday for the 2016 Cardinal Invitational, a ninehole event.

“The course is in nice condition. The greens had more speed on them today than the girls were used to and they had to make adjustments,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “We played the back nine, which is challenging to all golfers, but it is also makes for a fun tournament for the girls.”

Ankney Centennial, ranked No. 4 in Class 5A, won the tournament going away with a four-player score of 173. Chariton finished second with a 189.

Class 5A eighth-ranked Johnston and Class 4A eighthranked Newton each came in with a 199 team score. Johnston won a fifth-player score tiebreaker to finish third and the Cardinals were fifth.

Mustangs are ranked No. 12 in Class 3A. Bondurant-Farrar and North Polk had golfers competing, but not full teams.

“For the most part our girls hit the ball pretty well. We had a few too many penalty shots, as we hit into some of the water hazards on the back nine, and a lot of putts today,” Enyart said.

Ankeny Centennial’s sophomore Tenley Moretti and senior Karli Kerrigan each carded a 41. Moretti won the scorecard tiebreaker for the meet medalist honors. Kerrigan is ranked No. 6 and Moretti sits at No. 10 in Class 5A individual rankings.

Chariton’s Teffnay Dale was third with a 42 and Ankeny Centennial’s Cassie Frazier took fourth with a 44. PCM’s Madeline Mitchell, a sophomore, shot a 45 to take fifth place.

Newton senior Jessica Reynolds, who is ranked 22nd in Class 4A, and Chariton’s Haley Reece tied with final scores of 46. Reynolds won the scorecard playoff for sixth

and was selected for the 2016 tournament’s sportsmanship award.

Reynolds’ round included a birdie on No. 11 and backto-back pars at No. 14 and 15.

Senior Cydney Hillyard fired a 48 with a birdie on No. 17.

Enyart said Hillyard was four over after playing her first four holes.

Emily Fitzgerald, a senior, finished with a 52 for Newton and had a par on No. 15.

Senior Jessie Smith had the final team-scoring total of 53.

Junior Lizzy Coyle shot a 57 and sophomore Taylor Dydell finished at 63.

PCM junior Breanna Maher, who is ranked No. 12 in 3A, shot a 51 to finish behind Mitchell. Sophomore Ellie Steenhoek came in at 55 and junior Courtney Bridges carded a 57.

Other PCM scores on the day were a 62 by senior Abby Van Haaften and a 65 by sophomore Sabrina Reed.

Newton had three junior varsity players competing in the event. Sophomore Alyana

Reynolds carded a 54, senior Amber Sorenson had a season’s-best 57 and Erin Van Sickle shot a 73.

“We’re going to zero in on making our first putts better.

Our chipping was good today,” Enyart said.

“We’re fortunate to have a course like Westwood to play as our home course. Brad Sponseller and his staff do a great job here accommodating both the girls and boys teams this spring. Being able to use this facility for a large invitational like this is appreciated by our teams.”

PCM’s girls played at Knoxville Saturday and play at the Chariton Invitational Thursday.

Newton takes on Norwalk and host Dallas Center-Grimes in a Little Hawkeye Conference triangular Monday at Beaver Creek Golf Course in Grimes. Teams tee off at 4:15 p.m.

Cardinals beat Grinnell, lose to Comets

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Let’s get physcial — and they did during Friday’s clash of ranked girls’ soccer teams at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium as seen with Newton High’s Taylor Shipley, right, and North Polk’s Katie Berglund (12) battling for possession of the ball.

Class 1A ninth-ranked Nort Polk outlasted Class 2A No. 10 Newton, 3-2.

Playing back-toback ranked opponents, the Class 2A 10th-ranked Newton High Cardinals girls went 1-1 over the weekend.

They played a very physical game against Class 1A No. 9 North Polk Friday at home, losing 3-2. On Saturday morning, the Cardinals were in Grinnell for a Little Hawkeye Contest against 2A 15th-ranked Grinnell’s Tigers.

“The game against Grinnell was a t o u g h game physically for our girls. We had a 15-hour turnaround against two very competitive teams,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said.

Both were physical opponents. Newton scored two second-half goals to beat Grinnell,

3-1, and improve to 2-1 in LHC play.

“Grinnell was very physical with quite a few calls against them.

Our girls did a great job staying focused on the game and possessed the ball on the offensive third very well,” Lamont said.

“Our passing sequences were outstanding, and our third goal

by Taylor Moon was a perfect example of that.”

Moon scored on a pass from Hannah Rhoads to give Newton its 3-1 margin in the second half.

Ryanne Rausch, who is tied for sixth in Class 2A scoring, found the net once in the first half to help forge a 1-1 halftime tie and broke the tie with a goal in the second half. Moon was credited with an assist.

Baez homer helps Cubs sweep Nats CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs walked Washington star Bryce Harper a record-tying six times, then beat the Nationals 4-3 when Javier Baez homered in the 13th inning Sunday for a fourgame sweep.

The Cubs won their seventh in a row and improved the best record in the majors to 24-6.

Harper matched the major league record for walks in a game, last done by Jeff Bagwell in 1999, and walked 13 times in the series.

Harper was hit by a pitch the other time he came to the plate.

Baez homered with one out off Blake Treinen (2-1).

PCM’s Maher wins Knoxville tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Due to band and chorus obligations and sickness, the Prairie City-Monroe girls golf team had just two golfers at the Knoxville Invitational on Saturday.

One of those golfers had the best score in the field.

Junior Breanna Maher shot a 1-over-par 38 to win medalist honors at the par 37 at Pine Knolls Country Club. She was five shots better than Pella’s Camille Henry, who was the runner-up medalist.

The tournament was shortened to nine holes because of weather.

The only other golfer for the Mustangs was sophomore Ellie Steenhoek, who shot a 62.

“The girls are ready for a break after four straight days of meets,” PCM coach Val Edwards said. “I am very proud of these girls for their perseverance with such a tough schedule.

“Breanna’s hard work is paying off for her, and I hope it continues for the rest of the season.”

Maher’s round of 38 is a new nine-hole school record at PCM. Maher had the previous record of 39.

Pella won the team title with a 187, while Grinnell shot a 220, Knoxville carded a 222 and Oskaloosa finished with a 255.

The Mustangs play an 18hole round at 1 p.m. Thursday at Chariton.

Mustangs finish sixth at Moravia tournament MORAVIA — Playing with only four golfers, the Mustangs finished sixth out of 10 teams at the Preserve at Rathbun Lake on Thursday.

a 442, which was two shots off Davis County for fifth. Pleasantville won the tourney with a 375, while Centerville shot a 390, Chariton carded a 392 and Mount Ayr finished with a 407 to complete the top five.

“This meet always has very tough competition,” Edwards

said. “I was excited to see some of the girls in the top 10.”

PCM was better than host Moravia (446), Clarke (446), Central Decatur (497) and Wayne (545).

Three regular varsity starters were absent because the PCM band played in the Tulip

Time parade.

Steenhoek shot a 114 and Lexi Reed played in her first varsity meet of the year and shot a 144.

Courtside seats at Iowa State games are a perk for lawmakers

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press Tickets to Iowa State men’s basketball games were hard to land for Cyclones’ fans this year, but they were easier for one group: legislators being entertained by University President Steven Leath.

Ten lawmakers accepted invitations to sit with Leath courtside at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, including House Speaker Linda Upmeyer and education appropriations subcommittee chairman Rep. Cecil Dolecheck, a review by The Associated Press shows. While legislators paid a face value for their tickets ranging from $25 to $50 apiece, comparable seats are usually only available to major donors or cost far more through ticket brokers.

Lawmakers avoided fees of $4 to $6 apiece assessed on tickets bought by phone and online, the way most fans acquire them.

They could also access the in-stadium sports bar usually open only to top donors, where soda and appetizers are free and alcohol is sold.

Lawmakers denied that the arrangement violates the state’s

gift law, which bars them from taking anything worth $3 from those trying to influence legislation. They argued the courtside seats were not gifts, since they paid the same face value price as an average fan in the stands. Besides, said Rep. Chip Baltimore, “they’re kind of crappy seats.”

“First of all, you get hit with balls and players as they come out of bounds. Second, you can’t see much except for under the basket where you’re sitting,” said the Boone Republican, who paid $50 for a pair to attend the conference home opener against Texas Tech.

Leath said he uses his allotment of tickets to connect with key donors, alumni, lawmakers and business partners.

Only lawmakers have to pay.

“It’s a really effective way to get university business done and give them a reward of getting them to go to the game,” he said.

Dolecheck, a Mount Ayr Republican whose subcommittee oversees Iowa State’s budget, landed the most valuable ticket.

The Iowa State alum paid $50 to watch the Cyclones play No. 1 Oklahoma on Jan. 18 in a

highly anticipated showdown.

Fans rushed the court after Iowa State pulled out a thrilling victory, its first win against a top-ranked team since 1957.

Courtside seats for that game went for several hundred dollars apiece online.

Leath said he had a philosophical discussion with Dolecheck at the game about managing the school’s rapid growth, including whether to increase tuition or admissions standards if it becomes hard to sustain.

With Dolecheck’s backing, lawmakers last month increased Iowa State’s budget by 1.2 percent, which was less than it requested but double the percentage increase received by the University of Iowa. Supporters say ISU deserved a larger increase because it educates more students from Iowa.

Dolecheck didn’t return messages seeking comment.

But Upmeyer and House Minority Leader Mark Smith, who attended games in December, said they think the ticket arrangement was appropriate.

Iowa university presidents have long entertained lawmak-

ers at football and basketball games, but Leath says he is more aggressive at legislative outreach than his predecessors.

He used twice as many tickets on lawmakers this year than he did last year, even as their constituents had a harder time finding seats.

With expectations high, Iowa State sold out its season tickets for the second time in school history.

Single-game tickets were gone within hours of going on sale last October. That meant many fans had to turn to online brokers and scalpers for seats, often at major markups.

To be eligible to buy season tickets courtside, fans have to donate $5,000 annually to the Cyclone Club, buy at least two seats for $2,500 apiece and commit to doing so for three years.

Those tickets often fetched $200 or more through sites such as StubHub. Leath said he was aware that many would enjoy the perk.

For the first time this season, he occasionally stunned random fans sitting high in 14,000-person Hilton by asking them to join his table.

Kyle Busch gets first Sprint Cup win at Kansas KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kyle Busch has seemingly dozens of reasons to despise Kansas Speedway, from the two times he crashed out of Chase races to the innumerable misfortunes in other series.

Now he has one big reason to speak fondly of it.

Busch sailed away from Kevin Harvick after a late wreck collected several of the leaders Saturday night, and finally won a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at one of three tracks that had eluded him.

“I didn’t know we’d have that much speed in our race car. I guess I should have known,” said Busch, who still needs to win at Charlotte and Pocono to knock off every current track in the series. “We had a top-five car in the middle part of the race. We kept making improvements to it, kept making it better.”

Busch won for the third time this season, and gave team owner Joe

“This is a place that’s been tough on me over the years, and probably almost caused me to go into retirement,” Busch said, laughing. “There’s been a

William Byron wins Truck race at Kansas Speedway KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — William Byron survived the chaos at Kansas Speedway for his first Truck Series victory Friday night, then ran into a rather unexpected problem when the 18-year-old finished a victory lap.

“I didn’t even know how to do a burnout,” he said with a grin. “I just kind of found the Byron gears and watched the smoke come out the back. It was pretty cool.”

Pretty cool for team owner Kyle Busch, too, who doused him once they reached Victory Lane.

Byron had built a nearly 5-second lead before Tyler Reddick spun with four to go, bunching the field up for a green-white-checkered finish. Byron got shuffled to third behind Johnny Sauter and Ben Rhodes on a restart, but he was ready to pounce when the two ahead of him got together in Turn 4 on the final lap.

“It was crazy, the last couple of restarts,” Byron said. “I had the lead there on the last green-flag run and I was just praying for no cautions. But you know, you have to earn it.”

The North Carolina driver was making his fifth start in the series.

Matt Crafton rallied after his own late spin and wound up second, Daniel Hemric was third and Christopher Bell — Byron’s teammate with Kyle Busch Motorsports — finished in fourth. Clint Bowyer rounded out the top five in his first Truck Series race in two years.

“That last restart was just chaos,” said Crafton, who led a race-high 57 laps. “I shoved it three-wide and was like, ‘Yeah, this probably isn’t the way to go.’”

The race was wild right from the start, when Reddick made an audacious three-wide pass to take the lead.

He remained there as the field began to string out during a long green-flag run that triggered the caution clock.

After the mandatory pit stops, the wrecking ensued.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Lamont said the Cardinal defense stepped up and communicated well against Grinnell’s very skilled and well-versed offense. The Tigers put a lot of shots on goal with Newton goalkeeper Ashley Freese making 16 saves.

Newton put 24 shots on goal and had six corner kick opportunities against Grinnell.

“All around it was a great game by the entire team,” Lamont said.

Against North Polk, bodies were flying all over the field as the Cardinals and Comets played tough physically the entire game.

The Cardinals played the Comets to a scoreless tie through 25 minutes of the first 40-minute half Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The Comets broke the tie on a goal at the 15:17 mark by Joy Smith.

The Comets sent a ball into the Newton end of the field with less than a minute remaining in the first half.

Newton’s Courtney Jacobsen and North Polk’s Hannah Becker chased after the ball while Freese, Newton’s goalkeeper, came out to the ball.

A three-way collision happened with the two Newton players going to the ground and Becker staying on her feet. Freese reached for the ball with her hands, but it was just out of reach.

Becker kicked the ball into the open net, putting the Comets up 2-0 with 36.9 seconds before halftime.

“We had trouble with our passing and keeping the ball on the ground against North Polk,” Lamont said. “We tend to play very well and are able to capitalize on our strengths when we

play to feet. Friday night we didn’t do that. We got out of position twice and North Polk took advantage of it.”

In the opening minute of the second half, Smith found the net again for North Polk to give her team a 3-0 lead.

Two minutes later the physical style play landed the Comets in trouble and Newton’s Rausch made them pay.

Rausch was tackled inside the scoring box resulting in a penalty kick opportunity. Rausch buried the kick in the net past Comet goalkeeper Sawyer Elwell.

Newton trailed 3-1 at the 37:22 mark.

Newton kept the offensive pressure up through the second half. Off a corner kick by Rausch, a Newton shot on goal glanced off the hands of Elwell.

The Cardinals’ Kari Adams netted a follow shot with 15:28 remaining in the game to make it 3-2.

The Cardinals missed several other scoring opportunities down the stretch. At the end, the Comets were able to hold off the Cardinals for their 10th win of the season against one loss.

Newton delivered 21 shots on goal and had two corner kicks. Freese made six saves, and after the two games, she has 49 saves on the season and only has allowed seven goals.

Newton is 8-2 overall. Both losses are one-goal decisions two ranked teams. The Cardinals are one of four teams in the Little Hawkeye Conference ranked in Class 2A soccer.

Newton plays 2A top-ranked Pella (8-2) Tuesday at Pella. There’s a junior varsity game at 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity game at 7 p.m.

lot of rough days at Kansas, that’s for sure.”

Harvick was second after making major changes to his car following a poor qualifying effort. Kurt Busch was third, Matt Kenseth finished fourth and Ryan Blaney wound up fifth.

“You know, it’s our best finish of

the year. That’s the bright side,” said Kenseth, who was alongside Busch on the final restart with 19 laps to go. “I thought we were as good as the 18 if we could have had position, but it was tough restarting on that bottom.”

Martin Truex Jr. won his first pole in two years and looked like he’d be the one to finally get the victory that has eluded him at Kansas, drawing away for big leads on every restart.

He still had a comfortable lead entering the final round of scheduled stops with 54 laps to go, but Truex radioed to his team that he had a loose wheel after leaving his stall. He had to come down pit road again and dropped off the lead lap, another laterace gaffe costing him a chance to win.

Truex led 95 laps at Kansas last spring, but fuel and tire strategy conspired left him ninth. His team also made a strategic mistake that cost him earlier this season at Texas.

Weed: Noxious Weeds to be Destroyed The Jasper County Board of Supervisors, in their official meeting March 1, 2011, adopted the following resolution: 1. Each owner and person in possession or control of any lands in Jasper County shall be responsible for controlling noxious weeds in such a way as to prevent them from reseeding or otherwise coming to maturity.

Special precautions should be taken where said weeds would interfere with safe use of public roadways.

2. Date for control of noxious weeds for all species is June 1 3. Failure to comply with the provisions of this policy will result in the Weed Commissioner causing control measures to be implemented, and the cost of these measures, including the cost of serving notice, to be assessed against the landowner (s). In the case of noxious weeds on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands, fines will be assessed by the Farm Service Agency (FSA) office in Newton.

In all cases, the weeds will still have to be destroyed.

4. The Jasper County Auditor is directed to publish this notice in each of the official newspapers in the county.

Cardinal golfers win Colfax-Mingo Invitational Led by medalist Hill, Mustangs finish second

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — ­ The Newton boys golf team is playing with a lot of confidence right now. Prairie City-Monroe’s Ryan Hill may now have more confidence after his 18-hole round Saturday.

Both the Cardinals and Mustangs had plenty of success at the Colfax-Mingo Invitational. Newton’s top four golfers finished in the first six positions to win the team title, while Hill earned individual medalist honors to lead the Mustangs to a runner-up finish at the par-72 Colfax Country Club.

“I thought the guys adjusted well to the fast greens that really didn’t hold the ball that well,” Newton coach Pat Riley said. “The majority of them played much better on the second nine after making adjustments.”

Hill and Newton’s Derek Damman both shot 80 for the day, but Hill won medalist due to the cardback. Damman was the runner-up medalist, while teammates Austin Reynolds, Payton Thomas and Trey Vanderlaan all shot an 81. PCM’s Reid Jenkins joined the Cardinal trio with an 81.

Thomas finished third, Vanderlaan was fourth, Jenkins ended up fifth and Reynolds took sixth based on tiebreakers.

Newton won the tournament easily with a 323, while PCM shot a 340 in second. Saydel was next with a 355, while Clear Creek-Amana (365) and Sigourney (388) completed the top five.

The rest of the field included Pella Christian (388), Pleasantville (396), Keota (397), Colfax-Mingo (398), North Mahaska (401) and Colo-NESCO (455).

The host Tigerhawks were led by Mason Mosher, who carded an 87. No one else finished with a score less than 100.

The Cardinals, who won the Little Hawkeye Conference tournament earlier this year, have two seniors who will play golf in college. Damman is headed to Iowa Central Community College, and Thomas will play for

NAIA Dordt College.

The two juniors — Reynolds and Vanderlaan — are pretty good, too.

The Cardinals’ depth was too much for the rest of the field.

“I was proud of their efforts and happy to see them notch another tourney championship,” Riley, who is a Colfax-Mingo alum, said. “It also was exciting to take four of the top six spots. That says a lot about the depth of our team.”

Damman birdied the par 5 No. 9 and the par 5 No. 13. He had nine pars.

Reynolds had three birdies on the day. He birdied the par 3 No. 7, the par 4 No. 17 and the par 5 No. 18. His round included six pars.

Thomas birdied the par 4 No. 2 and the par 4 No. 11. He had seven pars.

Vanderlaan birdied the par 4 No. 5.

He made eight pars.

Newton’s two non-counting scores came from Shaiden Simmons (94) and

Sam Supino (103).

PCM’s Hill earned medalist honors for the first time this season. Jenkins was one shot back, while Dayton Boell and Jackson Thomas shot 89 and 90, respectively. Andrew Van Ryswyk and Noah Lanphier shot non-counting scores of 92 and 93, respectively.

Hill birdied the par 3 No. 7. His round included nine pars. Jenkins birdied the par 4 No. 17, and his round featured nine pars.

Nyquist wins Kentucky Derby LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The racing world wondered if there was a worthy successor to last year’s Triple Crown champion American Pharoah.

Enter Nyquist.

The bay colt who lacks any distinctive markings won the Kentucky Derby by 1 ¼ lengths on Saturday, improving to 8-0 in his career as the fourth consecutive favorite to win the race.

Ridden by Mario Gutierrez, Nyquist ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:01.31. The 3-year-old colt became the eighth unbeaten winner in the race’s 142-year history, and the first since Big Brown in 2008.

Nyquist delivered a second Derby win for Gutierrez, trainer Doug O’Neill and owner J. Paul Reddam. The Southern California-based team was behind 2012 Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another.

“This is such a special horse,” O’Neill said.

“You can see it in his eye on a daily basis and he’s such a professional. Any human sport, he’d be the top-notch athlete. He’s just first class.”

Nyquist enjoyed a perfect trip over the Churchill Downs dirt in front of 167,227, the second-largest crowd in Derby history. The colt broke well out of the 13th post

and showed some early speed getting away from the gate. Gutierrez eased Nyquist back to let speedster Danzing Candy take the lead going into the chaotic first turn.

Nyquist stayed just off the lead and Gutierrez kept him in the clear, steering him to the outside on the final turn. Nyquist and Gun Runner overtook tiring leader Danzing Candy at the top of the stretch.

Gun Runner was only in front briefly before Nyquist showed a strong finishing kick.

He put away Gun Runner and sped to the finish line, with Exaggerator closing but never threatening after coming from well back.

The bay colt is from the first crop of sire Uncle Mo, who never got the chance to run in the Derby after being the early favorite for the 2011 race. He was scratched the day before with a stomach illness.

Mohaymen finished fourth and Suddenbreakingnews was fifth. Destin was sixth, followed by Brody’s Cause, Mo Tom, Lani and Mor Spirit. My Man Sam was 11th, followed by Tom’s Ready, Creator, Outwork, Danzing Candy, Trojan Nation, Oscar Nominated, Majesto and Whitmore.

Shagaf didn’t finish.

Dawson Cobler and Matt Bleakney led Newton Trap Team’s varsity squad to sixth place at Saturday’s trap meet at Jasper County Gun Club hosted by Ankeny. The two Newton shooters each shot a perfect round, hitting 25-of 25 clay pigeon targets.

Cobler paced the Cardinals with a 46 out of 50 final score, placing eighth out of 61 varsity male shooters. The Cardinal varsity team of Cobler, Matt Bleakney, Logan Zaabel, Colton Kingery and Brian Bleakney shot a season’s best 208 — just 10

birds behind third place.

Ankeny won the varsity shoot with a team score of 229. Other teams competing were Indianola, North Mahaska, Centerville, Hampton/Durmont and Baxter.

“The team continues to improve overall as the season progresses. I think several of the members are starting to understand the importance of being mentally prepared and focusing on each target while competing,” Newton head coach Paul Klein said.

“When you have shooters like Dawson only missing four birds out of 50 and still ending up in 8th place, you know you’re competing against some really talented and focused shooters. I hope we can continue shooting as well as we have these last couple of meets.”

Newton had one full squad competing in the varsity and junior varsity divisions along with a partial squad in each division.

The Cardinals claimed second in the junior varsity division with the team of Dallas Schaeffer, Devon Young, Brooke, Gifford, Allison Ulrey and Joshua Adkinson. They shot a 197 out of 250 as Ankeny’s team had a 216 score.

Ulrey claimed the second-place medal in the junior varsity female shooter competition , hitting 41 out of 50 targets.

Adkinson shot a 44 to place fifth in the junior varsity male shooters’ competition.

Newton shoots in a skeet and 5-stand competition Friday then a trap shoot on Saturday — both events are at Big Springs Shooting Range in Searsboro.
