Chief jailer assaulted by inmate

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Jasper County Chief Jailer Wendy Hecox was punched in the face last week during an altercation with an inmate.

Timothy R. Way, 34, of Dallas Center, is charged with assault on persons in certain occupations folWay lowing an incident at 3:40 p.m. Thursday at the Jasper County Jail.

Hecox had released Way from his cell to use the restroom when he began ignoring directions from her and other jail staff. He eventually punched Hecox in the face, resulting in her falling and hitting the back of her head on the floor.

Way was at the jail as a result of a previous assault charge and parole violation.

He has a $10,300 bond for the assault charges but is being held without bond for the parole violation.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty declined to comment on Hecox’s condition citing confidentiality.

Hecox was on the job, however, Monday.

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad tours the Beck’s Hybrids construction site Monday in Colfax after an economic briefing by company reps about the growth of the Indiana-based seed company’s Iowa sales operation. The $15 million, 104,000 square-foot facility is slated to bring 50 jobs to the Colfax area and is scheduled for an Aug. 1 opening.

Governor tours Beck’s Hybrids construction in Colfax

Nearly 1,000 farmers expected for facility’s Aug. 9 field day

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — In the first of two ag-related stops Monday, Gov. Terry Branstad toured a $15 million seed retail and distribution development site north of Interstate 80 in Colfax.

The governor met with representatives from proj-

ect developer Beck’s Hybrids of Atlanta, Ind., to discuss the 104,000 square-foot, three-building facility and the company’s overall economic investment in Iowa.

In a meeting with Branstad, Iowa Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton), Colfax Mayor David Mast and several of the company’s Iowa regional personnel, Beck’s western

regional sales manager Scott Jungman detailed the seed distributor’s growth since first beginning its Iowa sales operations in 2014. The company has created more than 200 high-salaried jobs in Iowa and plans to be up to 410 within a few years. At the Beck’s location in Colfax, the site is expected to house 50 jobs when the facility opens Aug. 1.

According to Jungman, Beck’s construction site in Colfax employs an average of 42 people daily and the majority of the construction ven-

dors used for the project are Iowa businesses, including Newton-based Van Maanen Electric, Inc. But jobs are not the only impact Beck’s will have on the Colfax and Jasper County economy. On Aug. 9 the seed distributor and retailer will host its first Iowa field event.

The company is expecting approximately 1,000 farmers from throughout Iowa to descend on Colfax for the annual expo of Beck’s corn, soy and BECK’S | 3A

Seed available for wildlife food plot Newton Daily News Jasper County Pheasants Forever has sorghum seed available for landowners interested in planting a wildlife food plot. The seed is free of charge and can be picked up in the Armory Building, at the Jasper County Conservation Board office, located at 1030 W. Second St. S. in Newton. There is a limited amount available.

Planting food plots is a great way to improve wildlife habitat and diversity. Food plots provide nutrition for wildlife, especially in adverse winter conditions.

Plant species selection in food plots will vary for what type of species you are managing for, but most people choose to plant corn, sorghum, alfalfa, millet, soybeans or sunflowers. Many people think food plots are the answer to bringing back the pheasants and quail or promoting high quality bucks.

For more information, contact the conservation office at 641-792-9780.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Matt Vandehaar looks at seedlings and surface plant material on a corn plot north of Newton last week. As a manager for a seed company, Vandehaar manages several sales representatives in Jasper County and regularly monitors several plots where new seed products are being used.

Account manager for seed company must deal with farming roller coaster Uncertainty of farming, complaints all a part of Vandehaar’s job

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The life of a seed salesman has its ups and downs. At times, it seems more like many, many sharp downs and a few gentle ups.

However, for an agronomist who loves solving problems and helping figure out the best seeding practices for the years ahead, it’s all a natural ride through winters and growing seasons.

Matt Vandehaar, an Altoona native and an account manager for DuPont Pioneer, said his line of work involves plenty of frustration and very little instant gratification.

“I’ve rode in a combine with a very mad farmer,” Vandehaar said. “That’s just part of taking ownership of the sales process.

Especially when dealing with new products and hybrids, it’s tough sometimes to figure out what will work.”

Vandehaar said his father, Chris, took full-time work in town several years ago, and he and his dad now run a small family farm on the outskirts of Altoona as what he calls “nights and weekends farmers.” Matt’s full-time tasks involve managing land plots that use DuPont Pioneer products and overseeing the work and accounts of sales representatives in Colfax, Prairie City, Sully, Searsboro and Oskaloosa.

would get hot, and we’d get nice, even rains,” he said. “But we all know hardly any seasons are that smooth. We adjust.”

Vandehaar, a 2011 Iowa State University graduate, said he also understands there will be times when a plot requires fungicides or other remedies along the way.

It’s all part of a learning process for both farmers and seed salesmen — one that hopefully leads to even better products in the years ahead.

There are also challenges in managing the sales reps. Vandehaar is responsible for training the reps who work in his territory, as well as helping mediate or resolving any disputes that come up between farmers and sales reps.

“I’m also constantly scouting, seeing what’s happening on each plot we’re involved with,” Vandehaar said. “There is plenty that can be helped, but with being informed about what’s going on with our products, I can help that.”

Vandehaar doesn’t want to give the impression there’s no joy on the sales side of the farming business. When a product called P1197AM had some success within the past couple years, that was the kind of development that can get a whole sales staff fired up and looking for other potential breakthroughs.

“I really enjoy it when something takes off,” Vandehaar said.

“That’s why we do what we do.”

“I like agronomy, and I like farming,” Vandehaar said. “And I like talking to farmers. I’m constantly evaluating and testing, but there is still a lot that isn’t in our control.”

Jasper County farmers have plots of land that are growing seedmakers’ products, so while sales staff can advise, it’s often up to each farmer and/or landowner to help create and maintain the best conditions to help crops thrive throughout the growing season.

“It’s tough for me, because even though I’ve been doing this for about five years, many farmers are much older than me and have generations of experience, often with the same fields,” Vandehaar said. “I might have the book smarts and latest lab knowledge, but when I go out to land for the first time, I’ve got to remember that I’ve never farmed that particular field before. Someone else has, and that person is usually standing in front of me.”

One element that’s within Vandehaar’s realm, regarding giving advice, is when to treat fields with products that involve anhydrous ammonia or nitrogen.

“Ideally, every farmer would treat his field at the perfect point a little bit before planting, the soil would warm up just in time, another treatment would go on after planting, and then it

Firm seeks new spot for hog plant after city says no MASON CITY (AP) — Prestage Farms is pressing forward with plans to build a hog processing plant somewhere in Iowa, now that Mason City has said no.

The city council rejected an agreement Wednesday with Prestage to build a $240 million plant that the company says would have employed around 1,800 people. Prestage spokeswoman Summer Lanier says the company is considering other Iowa locations but wouldn’t name them.

Officials in Fort Dodge and Webster City both had been in talks with Prestage before the company chose Mason City. Fort Dodge officials say the city couldn’t afford the incentives Prestage wanted. Webster City Mayor John Hawkins says city officials will be reaching out for Prestage’s reconsideration.

Mason City residents who opposed the plant raised environmental issues and expressed concern about possible harm to property values.

Planting between the rains: 80 percent of corn now in ground DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey recently commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Farmers continue to make planting progress between the rains and now 80 percent of corn and 29 percent of soybeans are in the ground. Western Iowa has been wetter throughout the planting season and as a result only 65 percent of corn in southwest and 68 percent of corn in northwest Iowa has been planted,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov.

A dry week across much of Iowa allowed planting to progress for the week ending May 8, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Statewide there were 3.9 days suitable for fieldwork, up nearly two full days from last week. Dry and sunny weather aided crop emergence, when compared to last week.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 80 percent adequate and 18 percent surplus. Eighty percent of the corn crop has been planted, a day ahead of last year, and 8 days ahead of the five-year average. Farmers in north central and central Iowa have already planted more than 90 percent of their corn crop. Twenty-eight percent of corn has emerged, two days ahead of last year and fivedays ahead of the average.

Twenty-nine percent of the soybean acreage has been planted, five days ahead of normal. Planting of the State’s oat crop is nearing completion. Oats emerged reached 84 percent, three days ahead of the previous year and nine days ahead of the average.

Pasture condition rated 70 percent good to excellent an increase of 5 percentage points from the previous week. Livestock conditions were reported as good with very little stress.

the 2016 legislative session did not make it through the Legislature. One would have extended a sales tax collected for school infrastructure and funneled the money toward water quality improvement in Iowa. The second would have provided $732 million over 13 years toward water quality efforts, shifting money paid through Iowans’ water bills which currently goes toward infrastructure projects. The bill passed the Iowa House but was not brought to the floor for debate in the Senate.

In an interview following his tour, the governor continued his criticism of Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal (D-Council Bluffs) for not bringing his water quality bill up for debate, but he also discussed what companies like Beck’s can do to educate farmers on mitigating soil nitrate loss to run-off. “(Beck’s) publications and their information can help farmers make the right decisions that are right to protect the water quality but also farmers improve their profitability,” Branstad said.

Before he toured the interior of the Beck’s office and warehouse space under construction, Branstad was briefed on the company’s trademarked Practical Farm Research Partners program which establishes relationships with producers in all

Colfax officials say the Beck’s development will bring a much needed revenue boost to Colfax’s general fund through property tax. Beck’s will receive a five-year, sliding percentage tax abatement plus state-level incentives for its $15 million investment. Branstad said Monday that tax incentives from state and local levels, combined with educational opportunities, are why Iowa has become a national leader in not only corn and soy bean production but the bio-diesel and ethanol sectors.

“It’s a partnership. We have our economic development incentives at the state level, great job training programs available through the community colleges and then there’s opportunities for local governments to participate through some of the different incentives they have available.

It takes a partnership of all of that,” Branstad said.

Beyond jobs and investment, one of the key topics of conversation between Beck’s staff and the governor was Iowa’s water quality related to agriculture. Two proposals put forward by Branstad before the adjournment of

Survey

The city is not required a cash match for the project, but will provide support through community volunteer hours, time spent

by Chambers, photocopies, mailing and mileage.

The grant and proposed survey work do not go as far as to apply for historic district status. The commission plans to determine boundaries and historic contexts for potential residential historic districts.

If a district is eventually established, the private property rights of home owners would not be impacted. Instead, the commission hopes the work would provide more opportunities for the property owners who want to preserve their structure access funding assistance opportunities.

Continued from Page 1A architectural history survey of residences within the proposed First Avenue district boundaries with the assistance of volunteers and commission members.

A report will be presented with the finding of the investigations along with conclusions and recommendations, including suggested boundaries for the historic district.

“If there are enough structures of historic integrity, within the bounds of that district, they can take the next step forward in putting together the nomination for a residential historic district,” Chambers said. “That brings a lot of benefits to the community.

One for an economic development standpoint as well as just a notoriety standpoint.”

Engagements

During the conversation Monday, Branstad referenced a partnership between farmers in the Cedar River watershed and the City of Cedar Rapids which aims to reduce nitrate runoff as a good model and criticized a lawsuit brought by the Des Moines Waterworks against three Iowa counties which the metro utility claims has failed to regulate farm runoff in their drainage districts.

Mayor Mast, who toured the facility Monday with

Branstad and Beck’s representatives, said the governor’s visit signifies the potential scope of Beck’s investment on Colfax and the state.

“The governor is celebrating a few steps in the right direction, looking forward to the Aug. 1 opening. And it’s very, very positive that a company of this size, with the impact it’s having on Iowa, is moving here,” Mast said.

• Heard a report from Maintenance Supervisor Jack Suttek about efforts to move supplies between buildings as part of elementary school reconfiguration. About 2,500 copier-paper type boxes have been purchased and there are plans to use Newton Correctional Facility inmates and pallets loaned

• Held a lengthy board-ed-

ucation general discussion on teacher salary expenditures, led by Superintendent Bob Callaghan. The district, which is still in the midst of contract negotiations with teachers, only has about $178,000 in “new money” for fiscal 2017.

Because moms are the best A

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | May 10, 2016

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

s far as Mother’s Days go, ours was not super exciting. My “present” was getting to go grocery shopping on my own, which really is great and treating myself to take-out lunch.

I got homemade cards the girls did at school, which had already taken their place on the art wall, and hugs, which are the best present ever.

I’m not going to spend my column inches reflecting on my short time as mother but try to show a little thanks to the woman I call mom.

My mom has always been my biggest supporter and constant growing up. I learned so many lessons from her about life as she worked as a nurse, specifically a home care and hospice nurse.

I will never forget the Christmas Eve I spent in the cancer ward when it was her holiday to work, or when we brought Christmas meals to some of her less fortunate patients on Christmas Day. She was sad for me when I didn’t make drill team my first year but didn’t let me wallow for long, knowing it would build character I didn’t know I needed yet.

I can’t imagine the time and money she put into my extracurricular activities including sports, dance and band. I hope she enjoyed watching me as much as I enjoyed doing it.

My love for shopping stems solely from our regular trips to the mall, the dress store or the Red Lollipop in Pella. My girls never really had a chance because there was nothing my mother

loved more than a frilly dress I could get my picture taken in.

My mom first found out I was pregnant with my oldest because I ate lunch with her almost every day at the hospital because we both worked in Newton.

I had terrible morning sickness, and it was taco day.

I made it about two bites in before I was running for the bathroom. I came back knowing I needed an explanation, but before I thought of anything great, I blurted out I was pregnant.

My mom was also needed when I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter. In my life plans, I saw myself having children about four to five years apart. Thinking back, I’m not exactly sure why I wanted this, but that is how it was.

On a cold January day, when my oldest was only about eight months old, I just knew something was a little off. To calm my nerves, my husband picked up a pregnancy test, knowing it would be negative.

Much to everyone’s surprise, I saw two lines appear. I instantly panicked.

I felt like someone was going to hand me a newborn to go along with my baby that hadn’t even had her first birthday.

I called my mom crying asking her to come to our house. I failed to tell her why she needed to come and hung up the phone. I’m a lot like my mom, so I can only imagine what was going through her head. She called back, and I once again blurted out I was pregnant. With a sense of calm, she said that it was a great thing and we could all do it together.

She, of course, was right, like she usually is. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me and my family. From babysitting, to advice and even becoming my landscape contractor, she has always been there for me. Happy Mother’s Day Mom, love you!

Trump-Arpaio: You’re doomed As Donald Trump jibbers and mugs atop a pile of sissy liberal skulls, the search is on for a running mate. One thing’s certain, you’re gonna need a cartoon character to match Trump.

Three words.

“America’s Toughest Sheriff.”

That’s right, the perfect mate for Trump is the angry pencil sketch serving as sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, where Joe Arpaio’s made prisoners wear pink underwear and live in sweltering tent cities, all the while being investigated for everything from racial profiling to failing to investigate sex crimes.

His elections are dirty; he hates women; he’s cost his county millions in legal expenses, settlements and court awards; and he is well-loved for being exactly the kind of tough guy dumby we like these days, when we hate teachers and love prison guards.

A lot of county sheriffs are idiots. It’s a small job, and all you really have to do is run a jail. Since the jail is full of poor people, no one much cares how you run it, either.

If you think an idiot sheriff isn’t ready for the national stage, take a look at Trump.

If white people who didn’t go to college could walk out of high school and into a unionized factory job, like they did a few decades ago, Trump couldn’t get elected to the Parks and Recreation Commission in Lonesome Pony, Alabama.

But they can’t, so he can.

And Arpaio, all tough guy bluster and not a damn bit of results, is the perfect sidekick for a superhero candidate who climbed the tower of working-class rage and stands there, hitching at his utility belt and eyeing up the girlies on the streets of Gotham City.

If I understand working-class rage, I also understand its tragic misuse. Working-class rage is like that pistol you buy because it’s your constitutional right and because, sooner or later, black men are going to break into our house and try to rape your wife.

Oh, sure, eventually you’ll lose your job at the auto parts store and you’ll get loaded on bargain price beer and you’ll shoot yourself because the bank is going to take your house, but that doesn’t count. You bought the gun to protect your house because it was all you could do with a bunch of liberals running the country.

Arpaio’s perfect. He talks like a cheaply made western, is singular in his lack of accomplishment and doesn’t take any guff from his prisoners, all of whom are poor people in chains.

He doesn’t coddle prisoners. His jail isn’t a country club. He served in the military, and he wears a gun every day. He can be worshipped as a veteran, as a cop and as a tough guy. In 2016 America, what else counts?

He’ll put a boot in your ass. He’ll kick your ass.

He’ll kick ass and take names. He’ll get your ass on a chain gang and put your ass to work. He’ll send your illegal butt back to Mexico. He will remain focused on your ass until America is great again.

Trump/Arpaio — they’ll kick butt.

YOUR VIEW

Kelley votes for the right causes As an educator, I couldn’t be prouder of Rep. Dan Kelley. Since his election in 2010, Dan has always voted for our children. He listens to school administrators, parents, teachers and students who call for adequate state funding for our public schools. He did so again during

Women can trust Rep. Kelley

this past legislative session in Des Moines by voting to increase funding for public education.

Lack of adequate funding forces schools to increase class sizes, to cut staff, to offer fewer course choices, and to have less technology. Each one of these actions negatively affects the education our children need and deserve.

We are fortunate to have someone who fights for public education the way Representa-

I was amused to see failed legislative candidate Patrick Payton attack Wes Breckenridge for being pro-choice. Wes has always been anti-choice. In fact, that, and Wes’ opposition to equality was one of the many reasons I supported Dan Kelley over Wes back in 2010. Now, it looks like Wes is just pandering to get the women’s vote here in Jasper County. Wes: we are smarter than you think we are. I trust Dan Kelley because he trusts women. Re-elect Kelley.

Vote for him early at the courthouse or at the polls on June 7.

I find Wes to be a person of his word, knowledgeable of issues, a person whose focus is issue related on behalf of the constituency.

Wes holds true to stick to issues, the purpose of the role and why he is our candidate of choice.

Readers give breast implants reviews both pro and con DEAR ABBY: “Doesn’t Want to Lose Him” (Dec. 16) wants breast implants, but her boyfriend is against it. I had breast augmentation at age 27 for the same reasons she wants them. I was flat-chested, and clothing, especially summer clothing, never fit or looked right.

My husband was supportive, and it turned out to be one of the best things I’ve done for my self-confidence. I not only became more outgoing, but my career also took off.

I want to urge “Doesn’t” to talk to her plastic surgeon about her goals. She shouldn’t allow herself to be pushed into a larger size than she feels comfortable with, and she shouldn’t be unrealistic about how it will change her.

She implied that the surgery wouldn’t alter who she is inside, but isn’t that her goal — to have more self-assurance? She’ll see a big change in her life. It will be gradual, but she’ll become a more confident version of herself.

She should forget the boyfriend if he can’t find it in himself to be supportive, because if she does get the implants, I predict that in a year, she will have outgrown him anyway. (Pun intended.) — KNOWS WELL IN SAVANNAH DEAR KNOWS WELL: Thank you for your comments. Readers had various reactions to this letter. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I doubt that implants will give her anything more than a superficial boost in confidence, because external attractiveness is fleeting.

I’d suggest she look inward for self-esteem rather than try to paste it onto her outsides. Values such as kindness, compassion, development of her talents, expanding her awareness and being of service to others will give her self-esteem to last a lifetime.

I’ve been small-breasted all my life and admit that sometimes I have wished I had more “up front,” but now at 66, I have a healthy, fit body and have learned self-acceptance. — M.H. IN BERKELEY, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: I was lucky my husband didn’t have any objections. I had it done, but never expected the pain to be so bad. I felt better about the way clothes looked on me, but that feeling didn’t last.

I recently had them removed because I suspected they were leaking (saline). They were uncomfortable. I could

sleep only on my back. Running was not fun. They didn’t feel natural and they didn’t look great naked. I realized having them was a big mistake.

Afterward, I found out they HADN’T leaked; they had just “shifted.” I feel better now and no one noticed anything. I’ve heard others love their implants, but I just wanted to let “Doesn’t” know there are some women who regret having it done. — LEE IN HILO, HAWAII DEAR ABBY: I wanted breast implants about 10 years ago because my proportions were off and clothes didn’t fit well. My then-boyfriend tried to talk me out of it, but I didn’t listen.

Abby, I have never once regretted getting implants. I’m happy, healthy and more confident. Looking back, I believe my boyfriend tried to talk me out of it because he was afraid of other men noticing me. He’d say things to make me feel self-conscious about my appearance. I suspect he knew I’d eventually wise up and the surgery would expedite it. Today, I’m married to a wonderful man who doesn’t mind my assets at all. — HAPPY IN BRANDON, FLA. DEAR ABBY: There’s a strange irony here. The greatest challenge to the woman’s self-esteem is her boyfriend — not because he is against the implants, but because of the belittling way he talks to her. In keeping with her low self-image, she has chosen a mate who feels threatened by her desire to be more confident.

A nurturing boyfriend would lift her up more than any breast enhancement could. If she had a more supportive boyfriend, she would probably decide she didn’t need the surgery. What a paradox! — JON IN BALTIMORE

Two people die in collision involving four vehicles LECLAIRE — Authorities say two people have been killed in a chain-reaction collision on Interstate 80 in eastern Iowa.

The accident occurred around 3:15 p.m. Monday on the west side of LeClaire, where westbound vehicles merge into the right lane because of road construction.

Witnesses say a van ran into the back of a car and then struck the back of another vehicle that was forced into the back of a truck. Two people in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.

IOWA CITY — The lawyer for a man convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a woman in a Coralville mall has requested a new trial, claiming prosecutors didn’t follow court rules. Alfredo Parrish filed the motion last week on behalf of his client 23-year-old Alexander Kozak. A jury in April found Kozak guilty of killing 20-yearold Andrea Farrington at the Coral Ridge Mall on June 12. The defense didn’t dispute that Kozak killed Farrington but argued his level of responsibility was diminished.

Sheriff warns of phone, internet scams COLFAX — The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office is warning locals about a phone scam following reports from Colfax.

According to Sheriff John Halferty, Colfax residents on Saturday received calls from people portraying themselves as members of the Internal Revenue Service and demanding payment for back taxes.

The number was 330284-7362.

“Jasper County residents are reminded to not provide any personal information to unknown or unreliable callers,” Halferty said.

In the event you are unsure of the validity of the call, the Des Moines IRS office number is 515-664-6618, or you can report a scam at www.irs.gov.

There have also been

recent f r au d cases involving the internet, Fa c e book or o t h e r social media, Halferty

said.

“This type of case usually involves a local resident who accepts a friend request, or email from an unknown person,” Halferty said.

The unknown person relates details of their life and that they are looking for a relationship. Due to their current financial situation, they need the local resident to help them out by sending them money. The local resident is usually asked to send certified checks or money orders to a bank or third party. In near-

ly all of these types of cases, the local resident never actually has a face to face meeting with the person.

Yet another fraud case involves someone calling an elderly person claiming to be a grandchild who is in another state, Halferty said. The “grandchild” has been arrested and needs money for bond. In these cases, the local resident will actually be given phone numbers to call. The calls will be answered and the person will identify themselves as an authority which may take credit or debit card information to “help post bond.”

“Be cautious when providing personal information to unknown or unreliable sources,” Halferty said. “We also encourage you to review this information with your family members, especially older family members.”

Ken Blackledge, 66, a produce farmer from Nevada in central Iowa and registered independent voter, said he has known Grassley for decades and voted for him because of the independent-minded Midwestern values he shared.

“I’m not voting for him anymore because he’s not the Chuck that he was,” Blackledge said. “He’s more of a Washington Beltway-type person now which isn’t the person I know.”

Democrats and outside groups targeted Grassley because of his chairmanship of the Judiciary panel. Obama administration allies also have focused on vulnerable Republican senators in states such as Ohio, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that Obama won twice.

Grassley said the strategy isn’t working and he’s doesn’t feel any more threatened in this race than previous ones.

“I approach every election as if it’s going to be the toughest election I’ve ever had and this one’s no different,” he said.

He did acknowledge that at nearly every stop on his weeklong tour of Iowa town halls he was asked about the court.

Moveon.org, a liberal political action group, said it is buying a roadside billboard in Des Moines and plans Internet video and social media campaigns against Grassley.

The day after Trump won in Indiana and became the likely GOP nominee, Americans United for Change issued a statement. “It’s official. Senator Grassley is refusing to do his job because he wants Donald Trump — a racist, sexist, misogynistic, nativist, isolationist, pathological liar ... to make the next appointment to the Supreme Court,” said Brad Woodhouse, the group’s president.

The group organized mobile billboards featuring the “Tell your Senator: Do Your Job” theme, parking them at offices of senators running for re-election in nine swing states. In Iowa, a billboard was following Grassley to several of his town halls.

Grassley hasn’t faced a close election in decades. He won his Senate seat in 1980 — the year Ronald Reagan became president — with 54 percent of the vote.

Newton Daily News

DES MOINES (AP) — Proponents of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee believe they have a new winning argument to get the Republican-led Senate to act — the prospect of Donald Trump choosing someone to fill the vacancy.

Hardly, says Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, the Iowa GOP senator Grassley who steadfastly opposes any confirmation hearings or votes on Judge Merrick Garland until Americans elect the next president.

“There’s no problem with Trump appointing people to the Supreme Court,” said Grassley, who pointed to Trump’s February GOP presidential debate promise that he’d nominate conservative judges and specifically his mention of William Pryor.

President George W. Bush appointed Pryor, Alabama’s former attorney general, to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Pryor has angered those on the right and left, backing the ousting of Chief Justice Roy Moore over his failure to remove a Ten Commandments monument and calling the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion “the worst abomination in the history of constitutional law.”

“If he’s going to appoint people like that I don’t have any doubt,” Grassley said after a weeklong recess week back home in which liberal activist groups were relentless in pressuring the senator to hold hearings on Garland.

Grassley, who is seeking a seventh term, faced billboards and demonstrations as he met constituents at town halls around the state.

Obama nominated Garland on March 16 to fill the vacancy created by the death of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia in February. While some Senate Republicans have held courtesy visits with Garland, they refuse to hold hearings or vote on his nomination.

Outside the Iowa Judicial Branch building in Des Moines a former Grassley supporter said the longtime senator has lost his vote.

Cardinal girls sweep LHC golf triangular

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Jessica Reynolds prepares to tee off during a home meet this season. Reynolds and the Cardinals played in Little Hawekeye Conference meet Monday at Grimes and won.

GRIMES — Wrapping up Little Hawkeye Conference dual golf play with a sweep of Norwalk and host Dallas Center-Grimes Monday on a soggy Beaver Creek Golf Course in Grimes was Newton High’s Cardinal girls.

“The course was wet, but playable,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “It didn’t rain on us. We’re just glad to have gotten the meet in.”

Newton seniors Jessica Reynolds and Emily Fitzgerald led the Cardinals to the win.

The Cardinals came in with a four-player team score of 197, beating Dallas Center-Grimes by 22 strokes. The Fillies had a 219 team total and Norwalk finished with a 243.

Reynolds carded a 43 for the nine-hole event to capture medalist honors. Fitzgerald was runner-up with a 49. Senior Jessie Smith shot a 52 and sophomore Taylor Dydell finished with a 53.

“Jessica had a great start with pars on No. 2 and No. 3 then birdied No. 5,” Enyart said. “Emily managed her game really well. She hit the ball consistently, and when she had a miss-hit, she corrected for it. Emily parred the No. 1 hole, which was her second hole of the meet.”

Enyart said Smith and Dydell played consistent golf.

Dydell parred the first hole of the day, he said.

Sophomore Alyana Reynolds played and shot a 57.

Also playing was junior Lizzy Coyle, who finished with a 61.

“I’m proud of the way our

kids played today. This was a step in the right direction,” Enyart said. “The girls played with a lot of confidence.”

Newton, which is ranked eighth in Class 4A, finished 4-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals’ lone conference loss was to 4A fifth-ranked Pella.

The Cardinals play in the Southeast Polk Invitational at 9 a.m. Thursday at Copper Creek Golf Course in Pleasant

Hill.

Newton will host a Class 4A regional golf tournament May 23 at Westwood Golf Course. In the regional with Newton are Bondurant-Farrar, Ballard, Carlisle, Dallas Center-Grimes, Fairfield, Knoxville, Norwalk, Pella, Perry and Winterset.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Chipping the ball onto the green during Friday’s home tournament is Newton High senior Emily Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald finished in second place behind teammate Jessica Reynolds at Monday’s meet in Grimes.

Warriors, Heat win playoff games in overtime PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Stephen Curry returned from a sprained right knee to score an NBA-record 17 points in overtime, finishing with 40 as the Golden State Warriors rallied to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals with a 132-125 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.

Playing for the first time since he was injured in Game 4 of the firstround series against Houston, Curry was rusty for three quarters and sensa-

tional down the stretch after the Warriors trailed by as much as 16 points.

Originally expected to play about 25 minutes off the bench, Curry picked up a heavier workload in the second half after Shaun Livingston, who had been starting in his absence, was ejected in the second quarter after arguing a call and picking up two technical fouls.

His victorious return came hours after a person with knowledge of the award

told The Associated Press that Curry would repeat as NBA MVP, with the announcement coming as early as Tuesday.

The Warriors can win the series Wednesday night at home in Game 5.

Damian Lillard finished with 36 points and 10 assists for Portland.

Heat 94, Raptors 87, OT MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored 30 points, Goran Dragic had a huge three-point play late in overtime and Miami beat Toronto to tie the Eastern

Rainy Days and Mondays

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s girls and boys have to wait until Tuesday to compete in the 2016 Little Hawkeye Conference tennis tournaments. The tournaments set for Monday were rained out and pushed to Tuesday with the boys playing at Grinnell and the girls playing at Pella Christian.

Conference semifinals at 2-2.

Dragic and Joe Johnson each scored 15 for the Heat, who rallied from a ninepoint deficit in the fourth quarter. Game 5 is in Toronto on Wednesday night.

Terrence Ross and Cory Joseph each scored 14 for Toronto, which shot 39 percent. Bismack Biyombo and DeMarre Carroll added 13 apiece, while starting guards DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry combined for 19 points on 6-for-28 shooting.

Pinch-hit home run wins it for Nationals WASHINGTON (AP) — Moments after Bryce Harper was ejected from the dugout, pinch hitter Clint Robinson hit a game-ending homer to give the Washington Nationals a 5-4 comeback victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

As he joined his teammates in racing to the plate to greet Robinson for a celebration, Harper yelled something in the direction of umpire Brian Knight.

Knight pointed toward the dugout and signaled Harper’s ejection after the batter before Robinson, Danny Espinosa, was called out on strikes.

Then Robinson connected with a 1-0 pitch from Mark Lowe (1-2).

Yankees 6, Royals 3 NEW YORK — Carlos Beltran hit two of New York’s five solo homers in the first three innings off an ineffective Chris Young, and Aroldis Chapman allowed a run in his Yankees debut before closing out a victory over the slumping Royals.

Brian McCann, Brett Gardner and Aaron Hicks also went deep to help the Yankees win the opener of a four-game series against the defending World Series champions.

Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer homered for the Royals, who have lost 10 of 13.

Red Sox 14, Athletics 7 BOSTON — Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his career-high hitting streak to 15 games with a two-run single in Boston’s six-run fourth and added a grand slam two innings later, carrying the Red Sox over the struggling Athletics.

Brock Holt hit a two-run homer, and David Ortiz had three hits and two RBIs for Boston, which has won seven of its last 10 games.

Khris Davis hit his seventh homer and drove in two runs for Oakland, which has lost 12 of 16 and fell to 1-7 this month.

New hire Tirico to take part in NBC Olympic coverage in Rio NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Tirico called the NFL, NBA, college basketball, golf and tennis among other sports in a quarter-century at ESPN to establish himself as one of TV’s most versatile announcers.

One of the few events not on ESPN: the Olympics. NBC owns those rights through 2032, and now Tirico will be part of its coverage.

The Olympics were “right at the top of the list of things that made it impossible to turn away from this opportunity,” Tirico said on a conference call Monday formally announcing his move to NBC. He’ll be in Rio this summer after he joins the network July 1.

Details about all of Tirico’s assignments won’t be revealed until after he completes his ESPN contract at the end of June, NBC Sports executive producer Sam Flood said.

The network did say in a news release that Tirico, who is leaving behind the “Monday Night Football” play-by-play gig, would be involved in its Sunday and Thursday prime-time NFL broadcasts. NBC adds five Thursday games this fall, creating an immediate play-by-play opportunity there.

Shortly after NBC introduced Tirico, ESPN announced that Sean McDonough would replace him on “Monday Night Football.” John Wildhack, ESPN’s executive vice president for programming and production, said McDonough was atop a short list once Tirico decided to leave.

The 49-year-old Tirico emphasized that his NBC role is a long-term proposition. And while he and Flood didn’t want to get into specifics, the deal could eventually lead to the possibility of replacing Al Michaels on “Sunday Night Football” and Bob Costas as the Olympic host.

Tirico said he would have stayed at ESPN if not for the “championship-level events” NBC offers. NBC also is taking over coverage of the British Open this summer, and the network said Tirico’s responsibilities will include golf. Plus NBC is in the Super Bowl rotation, which ESPN isn’t.

McDonough was just 30 years old when he first called the World Series in 1992 for CBS. The network’s baseball contract ended after 1993, though, and while he has worked plenty of high-profile games since, McDonough acknowledged that

MONROE — Albia ended Monday’s non-conference match against Prairie City-Monroe’s boys soccer team with a double overtime goal with 1:34 left on the clock.

The Blue Demons

moved one game over .500 after the 2-1 victory. They started 2-2 and have gone win then loss for a stretch of nine games and are now 7-6 on the season.

PCM’s goal came from sophomore Misha Seebeck. He shot a corner kick toward the goal, and the ball spun passed the

Iowa State hoops sign pair of transfer big men AMES (AP) — Iowa State has brought in a pair of graduate transfers to bolster its frontcourt.

Darrell Bowie, a 6-foot-7 forward from Northern Illinois, was averaging 13 points and 7 rebounds a game in 201415 before hurting his shoulder.

He sat out last season with a medical redshirt.

Merill Holden, who is 6-foot-8 and from Louisiana Tech, averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds a game in 2015-16.

The Cyclones hope Bowie and Holden can provide depth for talented junior college recruit Emmanuel Malou.

Malou has signed with the Cyclones while also filing paperwork for the NBA draft in case academic issues threaten his eligibility.

Bowie’s and Holden’s signings coincide with the decision by seldom-used forward Brady Ernst, a freshman last season, to transfer.

the Cardinal, going 36-10 as the starting quarterback. But he faces a steep learning curve in Reid’s complex offense.

“Having experience with the pro-style, West Coast offense, a lot of the concepts and progressions were the same,” Hogan said. “Even though the terminology and whatnot might be different, I’m excited to come in. I think it will be a smooth transition.”

Bray has been held back by injuries since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee, but the Chiefs remain intrigued by his strong arm and 6-6 frame.

Murray was a fifth-round pick out of Georgia two years ago who may be the most polished of the three backups.

Quarterback isn’t the only place where there is a logjam.

The Chiefs will get star running back Jamaal Charles back from his torn ACL at some point this summer, though he may not do much

work until training camp.

They also re-signed Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West, the thunder-and-lightning duo that carried the load with Charles was out, and still have running back Knile Davis trying to work into the mix.

There has been speculation that the Chiefs will trade or release Davis, especially given their cash-strapped salary cap situation, but for the time being he is still on the roster.

The Chiefs wrapped up their three-day rookie minicamp Monday, where all nine of their draft picks and numerous undrafted players got a chance to prove they deserve a look later this summer.

They will reconvene with most of the veterans for voluntary workouts beginning May 24, and the Chiefs will hold their mandatory minicamp in mid-June before taking a break ahead of training camp.

keeper for his sixth goal of the season.

The Mustangs fell to 3-6 on the year. They host Newton at 7 p.m. Thursday before playing Saturday in the Gilbert tournament.

HUXLEY — Ballard scored all five of its goals in the first half, and the Prairie City-Monroe girls’ soccer team couldn’t o v e r come it during a 5-2 road loss Monday night.

T h e Bombers led 5-0 at Albright halftime and won for the sixth time in seven matches to improve to 6-2 on the year.

PCM falls to 5-10 on the season and has lost six of its last eight games. Four of the Mustangs’ 10 losses have come to ranked foes.

Ballard dropped out of the rankings last week.

Abby Waddell scored her 15th goal of the season for the Mustangs, while Jessica Albright added a penalty-kick goal. It was Albright’s third of the season.

PCM plays at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Chariton before hosting Knoxville at 7 p.m. Friday.

Mustang boys lose in double OT to Albia

Chiefs wrap three-day rookie minicamp with plenty of questions KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The biggest question facing Chiefs coach Andy Reid these days is a mathematical one: Can the number of snaps at his disposal in practice and games equal the number of players who want them?

There are far worse questions to have.

The Chiefs chose Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan in the fifth round of this year’s draft, following their trend of taking a developmental flier with a late selection. Now, the Chiefs have starter Alex Smith and backups Hogan, Tyler Bray and Aaron Murray all fighting for playing time.

Smith will get his snaps, of course. But the youngsters behind him are in a competitive race to be the full-time backup after the Chiefs let veteran Chase Daniel sign with Philadelphia in free agency.

Hogan has prototypical size at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, and was uber-successful with

“I always felt like there was that one next level to climb back up to.”

He had asked Wildhack in recent years whether that opportunity would come with ESPN, and Wildhack assured him it would. That finally happened two weeks ago when Wildhack called him about possibly joining Jon Gruden in the Monday night booth.

Jay Rothman, ESPN’s vice president for production, flew to meet with McDonough a few days later. The two had worked together on college basketball a quarter-century ago, and after they chatted for about three hours, Rothman gave McDonough a hug and told him the job was his.

McDonough warned him, “I’m going to have a little bit of a moment here,” because he started thinking about his late father, Will McDonough, a prominent NFL columnist and commentator.

The younger McDonough, who has mostly worked other sports in his career, had to collect himself for several seconds on a conference call Monday when asked to reflect on what it meant to ascend into such a high-profile NFL job.

A dvertiser Jasper County

Astrograph

Yesterday’s rare occultation overshadowed Jupiter’s reversal. As the good-fortune planet travels direct, we’ll be reminded how spiritual largess shows up small. Modest humility is the default mannerism of the enlightened. The occasions in which it’s necessary to be as large, powerful and assertive as one can be are few and far between.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 10). After this year, you’ll no longer expect to be in relationships with people who meet you halfway. You’ll learn what it’s like to be so brilliantly compatible that big compromise just isn’t necessary. Love will take

you for a spin and land you in a new and improved version of home. You’ll make good in a trade at the start of 2017. Pisces and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 3, 25, 9 and 21.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The fear of travel, called “hodophobia,” is common among homebodies and adventurers alike. The only difference is that the adventurers who suffer from this phobia decide to go places in spite of their fear. That’s your category now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It is easier to be patient with the faults and imperfections of

others when you recognize that you have your own tidy set and would benefit greatly from such courtesy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Those who cannot distinguish need from greed are dangerous influences on everything and each person around. Much trouble can be avoided by clinging to the virtues of humility, modesty and efficiency.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Someone is trying to connect heart and soul to you while being too unsure to connect via mobile phone. You’re so sensitive now that you can feel when people are thinking about you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you wind up paying someone

to fix your problem, try to get as much information and experience from the process as you can so you can be more self-sufficient the next time something like this comes up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Long ago someone dear to you didn’t treat you with the care you needed or the respect you deserved. You can be sure that this person has regrets -- not that it brings you any satisfaction. (Well, maybe a little!)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You use what you need and gladly give the rest to others. To you it’s not even generosity, really; it’s just keeping the resources flowing. It’s the kind of giving that comes at no loss to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re proud of a loved one -- as proud as anyone could be in fact. Even so, you can’t claim the victory as your own. Focus on your own domain of excellence this afternoon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even when you’re doing everything possible to make your dream happen -- and doing it all very well at that -- dreams take time to come together. So if you haven’t started, get started immediately!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There will be surprising good fortune when you keep to your course, which includes doing the sometimes tedious and currently very unglamorous daily work. Low-key efforts

will pay off in exciting ways.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Instead of trying to solve the problem, you try to solve yourself. You’ll be effective in that to some degree. Improvements in your all-around situation will render the original problem powerless over your experience.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Don’t conflate and confuse your suffering with creativity. The two are not intertwined; nor are they interchangeable. You’ll be far more prolific when you give up the habit or person that is causing you pain.
