NHS senior already a college grad Locals working to

establish Crime Stoppers program

Gibson earned AA degree from DMACC

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News If 16-year-old Becca Gibson is asked if her graduation this month is from high school or college, she can answer “yes.”

While it might be tough for a Newton High School senior to explain how she’s graduating from both high school and college in the same month, her achievements might be part of a growing trend, as well as an opportunity available to nearly all Newton students.

Gibson took enough DMACC courses over the past few years to graduate from that college last week with Associate of Arts degrees in Liberal Arts. She graduated with honors, meaning she maintained a 3.5 or higher GPA throughout her career at DMACC. She’s also among the top achievers in Newton’s Class of 2016, and will graduate with the Class of 2016 in its regular May 22 ceremony.

Gibson has been ahead in subjects, especially math and science, since late elementary school. She has fulfilled all of her Newton High School graduation requirements in only three years, and has still found time to complete her DMACC associates degree classes as well.

“College classes really aren’t that much tougher than high school,” Gibson said. “I feel that if these opportunities are here, it’s really important to take advantage of them.”

After skipping the second grade while attending Brooklyn-Guernsey-Malcom schools, Gibson was ahead of the curriculum much of her K-12 career.

Her mother, Melissa, said the fourth of her five children taught herself multiplication and division early in elementary school.

As it became apparent a smaller school district might never have the resources to challenge a student with Becca’s potential, Melissa and Clint Gibson decided to move their family to Newton, where Becca Gibson blazed

Jasper County law enforcement and community leaders came together to discuss the formation of a Crime Stoppers p r o gram on Tuesday at the Burdess Jasper County Armory Building.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess along with NPD Lt. Wes Breckenridge led the conversation about the program they hope will help bring more information to law enforcement agencies about crime in the county.

“Crime Stoppers is

an opportunity for us to partner with other organizations in the city and other law enforcement, public safety, fire and rescue, chambers, all kinds of organization to make safer communities that will enhance the quality of life for everyone within our county,” Breckenridge said.

The premise behind Crime Stoppers is providing an anonymous way for citizens to inform officers about crime, or give tips on crimes that officers are investigating. Information is received on an anonymous and secure tip line or through a secure web connection controlled by a professional program coordinator.

Commission denies farmer’s request to reconsider interchange Submitted Photo Becca Gibson received her associates degree in liberal arts in last week’s DMACC graduation ceremony. Gibson, who’s only 16, and Michael Peterson are Newton High School seniors who earned associates degrees before they even take part in NHS’s Class of 2016 ceremony on May 22.

through coursework at Berg Middle School. She was taking pre-calculus at Newton High School — with special permission — before her eighth-grade year was over.

High school meant DMACC classes and skipping her sophomore year. Becca Gibson’s studies didn’t leave a lot of time for extra-curricular clubs or activities, but she did participate in the Empower Tanzania club and

volunteered at DMACC’s Central Campus aquarium.

Gibson said she plans to attend Nova Southeastern University, located near Florida’s Atlantic coast, eventually entering a marine biology Ph.D. program.

She said research on ocean conservation and pollution control are the main topics that piqued her interest in that major.

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News AMES — Days after announcing he would depart the Downtown Des Moines Farmers’ Market after 20 years, a popular Mingo organic produce farmer lost his final attempt Tuesday to petition the Iowa Transportation Commission to reconsider a controversial interchange on Highway 330 which will take a significant portion of his family land.

The commission vot-

ed 4-3 not to reevaluate plans to construct a $14.4 million diamond interchange at the intersections of Highways 330 and 117 and Highway F17 in northern Jasper County. The Iowa Department of Transportation has deemed the interchange the most viable option to increase safety on the one-miles stretch of highway, the site of more than 121 crashes since 2003 and 11 deaths.

Admin building to be named after first superintendent of 1900s

By Larry Hurto Special to Newton Daily News At Monday’s Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting, a unanimous vote gave a name to both the new administrative building and one of the main alternative program to be housed there. Basics & Beyond High School will now be known as the WEST program, with the acronym being Where Everyone Succeeds Together, while the building will be known as the E.J.H. Beard Administrative Center.

The building is named for the man who was the superintendent of Newton Schools from 1892 to 1912, who served as mayor of Newton and

who had a wide variety of life experiences, including witnessing the Civil War surrender in Virginia.

Beard was, among other things, a professor, and could be considered one of Newton’s foremost educators. At the time of his retirement at age 70, Beard enjoyed “educational standing in several states in the Middle West.”

Longtime teacher and principal of Newton High School from 1900 to 1917 and county superintendent of Jasper County schools from 1918 to 1939, Lucy E. Hall said of the professor: “Mr. Beard took a personal interest in each child. His ambition was not only to give them a knowledge of facts but

more to give them ideals by which to pattern their lives. Many an individual owes his later success to the counsel and inspiration received from ‘Professor’ Beard.”

Upon completion of his work in the Newton Schools, the well-beloved educator was presented with a rocking chair purchased with pennies contributed by the school children of the city. The 1912 edition of the Newtonia Senior Annual was dedicated to him.

Born on a family farm in Jefferson, N.Y., in 1842, Beard received his early educational training at Delaware Institute in Franklin, N.Y. He then entered Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., but BEARD | 3A

Kellogg Krusaders to host carnival May 22

Flamingo ball held for Van Wyngarden

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News MONROE — A flamingo ball was held by the Presbyterian Church youth group on May 1 to raise funds for Monroe 13-year-old Luke Van Wyngarden. Van Wyngarden recently underwent a successful kidney transplant surgery.

“This winter we did a couple of projects where we gathered change from the congregation for Luke because some of the kids go to school with him,” the Rev. Ann Johnson said. “The ball was a meal that the kids put together, and we served after church.”

Decorated in pink with flamingos displaced throughout, the ball raised about $300 for the Van Wyngarden family.

“They took a good deal of pride in putting it on. Yes, they had some help from adults, but it was mostly their efforts,”

Johnson said.

The flamingo ball is only one part of the flamingo project that youth group has participated in for a number of years.

As a way to perform mission work locally, the project has become a favorite for the kids.

“A lot of churches go on mission trips. We just don’t do that, but we view our role as doing local missions. The kids have always picked the subject for what the flamingo funds will go for,” Johnson said. “It’s a wonderful concept for them to think about what’s on the horizon. We have raised money for various kinds of cancer along with cystic fibrosis, and we usually have someone come in and talk about it if it is a subject, so that they can ask questions and figure out what it is all about.”

To raise money, every Wednesday the kids gather the flamingos and perform a “sneak attack” placing the pink

plastic birds in an unsuspecting church goers yard. To get the birds removed, they have to pay a fee.

Congregation members have an option of flamingo insurance to keep their yards safe as well.

“It is crazy how much fun they have with this, but it is also very meaningful because we always discuss what is this going to go for, what is going to happen,” Johnson said.

Last fall, the group used the money collected to replace a local woman’s stair and deck.

Who or whatever the kids may see a need, the funds raised can be used to help out.

“Who knew that birds would be that successful to help kids learn about missions?” Johnson said.

London’s new Muslim mayor vows to be leader for everyone DUBLIN (AP) — Sadiq Khan has a simple, striking message for Londoners: He won’t be merely a Muslim mayor, but a leader for all.

Khan celebrated his landslide election victory Saturday in a multi-denominational ceremony at an Anglican cathedral accompanied by London’s police chief, Christian and Jewish leaders, and stars of stage and screen.

They gave Khan a standing ovation as he pledged to be an approachable Everyman for his city of 8.2 million — including more than a million residents who, like him, happen to be Muslim.

“I’m determined to lead the most transparent, engaged and accessible administration London has ever seen, and to represent every single community and every single part of our city as a mayor for Londoners,” said Khan, the son of Pakistani-born immigrants who became a civil rights lawyer and, in 2005, London’s first Muslim member of Parliament.

“So I wanted to do the signing-in ceremony here, in the very heart of our city, surrounded by Londoners of all backgrounds,” he said in Southwark Cathedral, a few miles (kilometers) north of the state housing project where he grew up in the London district of Tooting.

Khan’s Labour Party candidacy to lead London triumphed in the face of a Conservative campaign seeking to tar him as sympathetic to Islamic extremists.

Supporters said Khan’s own message — that a victory for him would show the world how tolerant and open Britain was — carried far more power.

“To have a Muslim mayor seems preferable to me to any alternative regardless of the politics,” said actor Sir Ian McKellen, who greeted Khan at the cathedral gates. “I hope it’s an image that will go round the world as representing a new sort of England that’s at peace with itself regardless of race and so on. That’s the beauty of it.”

Arends said Gibson is a “great, hard-working student.�

Melissa Gibson said she’s thrilled her daughter took advantage of DMACC dual enrollment classes. “I’m biased, of course, but I feel a student as motivated as Becca should get as many chances to early credits as she can,� Melissa Gibson said.

Many Newton High School upperclassmen have taken

advantage of DMACC dual enrollment and Career Academy classes as the availability of courses has grown over the past 10 years. Another NHS senior, Michael Peterson, also graduated from DMACC last week, with honors, and also with an Associate of Arts degrees in Liberal Arts.

Several students have amassed more than a full year’s worth of credits by the date of their NHS graduation, but at age 16, and having skipped

two full years of K-12 school, Gibson might be the youngest NHS student to earn both a diploma and a college degree in the same month.

Whether students are looking for trade-specific training or simply want to earn general college credits toward an eventual bachelor’s degree, the dual enrollment is done at no cost to students or their parents.

The school district pays tuition to DMACC. Becca Gibson said she

Stoppers Continued from Page 1A Law enforcement has found there are three major problems they must combat when getting information to solve a crime — the fear of reprisal, an attitude of apathy or a reluctance to get involved.

Crime Stoppers tries to resolve those issues by offering anonymity.

Using software designed specifically for anonymity, anyone who offers information cannot be tracked and is only identified by a number. “How can we make this truly anonymous?

Through Tipsoft software. It will funnel it through Canada and back to us, so we will truly not know who that person is,� Breckenridge said. “By having ano-

nymity moving forward, people are going to be more likely to come forward with the information if they know their personal information isn’t given out.�

Beard Continued from Page 1A dropped out to enlist in the 91st New York Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. He participated in the Virginia campaigns in the latter part of 1864 and the early months of 1865, engaging in many hard-fought battles.

He was at Appomattox when Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered.

After the war, Beard finished his degree and did governmental survey work in Colorado Territory before starting his teaching career, and he soon organized the first graded school in northwest Missouri.

In 1872, Beard was elected Atchison County surveyor on the Republican ticket.

Following 14 years as school superintendent in Hamburg and eight more in Maryville, Mo., Beard was hired to run Newton schools. He wrote a complete new course of study for elementary grades, wrote all examination questions, supervised the teaching and taught high school classes in Virgil, the poet, and physics.

In 1892, Beard, his wife Lura, and Minnie B. King, comprised the entire New-

Two grade schools were built during Beard’s tenure in Newton: the East School (Emerson Hough) and the West School (later the front of Washington School). In February of 1908, a new high school was completed (Central building) on the present grounds of the Newton Public Library.

The Newton High School enrollment for the 1892-93 school year, when Beard arrived, was 74, and the graduating class included 11 girls and one boy. By 1911-1912, his last year, enrollment was 277 and there were 17 girls and 22 boys graduating class.

Beard was elected president of the Iowa State Teachers Association in 1909. He was a charter member of the Walt Whitman Club, an organization of male educators; a member of Phi Delta Kappa; Garrett Post No. 16, Grand Army of the Republic; the Masons, and the Knights of Pythias.

In 1913, Beard was elected mayor of Newton. He was also a member of the Newton Library Board from its inception to 1921. He and his wife, Lura, were devout members of the Newton First Congregational Church.

At the time of his retirement an anonymous Newton High School teacher paid tribute to Beard in this way: “This is the appreciation of the teachers to Superintendent E.J.H. Beard — a man whose counsel can point the best way out of difficulties; a man whose liberality allows each teacher to manage his own room a man whose wisdom is ever a source of inspiration and helpfulness; a man whose daily companionship has made our work brighter and happier.� “When we, the students in old Newton High School, grow old, and look back on

He took a keen interest in the affairs of young people, even after he retired from the active school work. He liked to see the high school folks march to the football field, and it was a real regret to him that he was not himself able to attend and lend his encouragement by his presence. He rejoiced with the team when they won, and sorrowed with them when they lost.�

Russia is an ally of, well, no one G

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 11, 2016

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

rowing up near our nation’s capital, I didn’t see or hear much about Russian people or culture, there was only an occasional glimpse of older men being whisked from a plane marked “CCCP” at Andrews Air Force Base on their way to secretive meetings in federal buildings.

Thirty years later, if Russia is someone’s ally, it’s tough to tell. Just because the Russians don’t have the same form of government they had in 1983 doesn’t make their nation more aligned with anyone.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a number of moves that have left his nation’s “ally-ability” ambiguous at best, and it’s not even clear how intentional it is. Not only have military maneuvers in and around U.S. defense and interests left

motives unclear, it’s not even clear whether there is even much Russian enthusiasm for sticking by the side of other countries.

That’s why it would be better for American farmers and potential businessmen to think of Russia as a singular potential trade partner, regardless of who seem to be the superpowers’ friends. It’s too tough to tell from military actions what Putin wants to accomplish. He sends enough unclear messages to the U.S. and other partners about what he wants to be protected and what’s precious to the Russians that there’s not a clear consensus about what is important.

Sure, there is the NATO-Russia Council and the mostly small former Soviet states and other small countries, such as Tajikistan, would be protected by Russia.

It’s the eighth-largest country in the world

by population, even after the dissolution of the USSR, so it’s understandable the Russians would probably defend many eastern European, Middle Eastern and Far East nations, if targeted.

However, Russia is also still the world’s largest nation in size of its land, so it’s going to have to stretch its resources toward all of its borders, therefore it’s going to need some help from someone. The recent decision to pull all troops out of Syria, and, later, to pull fighter planes out of that region left doubt about alliances there and made it unclear what military moves are next.

I have a vague recollection of Russian statesman Andrei Gromyko visiting Washington, D.C., where I was in grade school, and all the talk in the local media being about how stone-faced, unemotional and unhinting he was with both his expressions and communications. Putin lays his cards on the table a bit more but playing cards close to the vest is nothing new for the Russians.

There are a handful of Russian leader-

ship names known to many Americans, such as Nikita Kruschev, Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin and Putin. However, most of them are known for their physical appearances, trips to the U.S. or one of their personal habits more than for their policies. Your guess on their next moves is as good as mine.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said recently Moscow is interested in its partners having “modern weapons and military technologies.” The rest of the world would just like to see a Russian fiveyear plan — and would probably settle for a one-year plan.

Sting often gets a little too political in his music, but his extensive travels and courage excuse him from producing an endless steam of typical aging-rocker love songs. “Russians” outlines the same skepticism of leaders that lives on today: “Mr. Reagan says, ‘We will protect you.’ I don’t subscribe to this point of view. Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too.”

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Five lessons of Trump’s nomination We all got it wrong.

Everybody who wrote Donald Trump off as a political charlatan destined to flame out; everybody who called Trump a clown who would return to his reality show and leave us all alone; everybody who suggested that this circus couldn’t — couldn’t! — continue... we were all wrong. Perhaps we were guilty of believing that Trump’s mistakes would break out into the mainstream rather than dying slow deaths on cable television. Perhaps we thought that voters would wake up to Trump’s bombastic narcissism and turn away. Perhaps, as statistician Nate Silver put it, we were guilty of not predicting “that the Republican Party would lose its [expletive] mind.”

Whatever the rationale, Trump is surely a shock to everyone but political commentator Ann Coulter and a few other Trump stalwarts.

Now it’s time to take away a few lessons.

First, failure to utilize ideological purity tests leads to the rise of leftist candidates within your own party. The bizarre paradox of Trumpian thinking is that the same people complaining about Republicans caving to President Obama want to nominate a lifelong left-leaning ad hoc politician with no centralizing principle other than his own glorification, a man who brags openly that he will cut deals with Democrats.

When conservatives object, these Trump fans point to the GOP nominations of former Gov. Mitt Romney, creator of Obamacare, and Sen. John McCain, creator of campaign finance reform and amnesty. They’re being hypocritical. McCain and Romney were, by any measure, more conservative overall than Trump. But the feeling that conservatism doesn’t matter any longer is hard to quell when, to so many major Republicans, it simply didn’t matter that much in 2008 and 2012.

Second, ignoring social issues means that the only way to appeal to disgruntled blue-collar voters is by moving left on economics. There’s been a good deal of loose talk about Trump’s appeal with disenchanted white voters who didn’t show up for Romney. And Trump does indeed appeal to them with lies about the efficacy of tariffs and taxing the rich, which is straight from the Bernie Sanders playbook. These people used to vote Republican — before the Republican Party decided to toss social policy out the window to pander to New Yorkers like Trump.

Third, moral narrative is far more important than policy knowledge. Trump knows less about policy than my 4-day-old child, and cares less about the Constitution than my boy. But that doesn’t matter because he’s fighting the “establishment,” by which Trump means everyone who disagrees with him. Because he’s conflating his “establishment” with a political establishment that insists on cutting deals with President Obama, Republican voters bought in.

Fourth, when there are no good guys, character doesn’t matter. One Indiana voter was asked last week about the fact that Trump lies constantly. She said that all politicians lie, and that at least Trump lies differently than other politicians. That’s odd logic, but it’s true: When all politicians are automatically deemed liars, Trump’s lack of character and credibility fades into the woodwork.

am proud of my friend Dan Kelley for standing up to the people pulling Breckenridge’s strings. I will gladly do my part to unify the Jasper County Democratic Party by voting again for State Rep. Dan Kelley.

I keep seeing people write to the editor about Wes but nobody is able to say anything about his experience because he doesn’t have any. Wes tried to obtain the position of police chief first. It appears to me that since he wasn’t able to get his first choice, he’s now going for state representative. That sounds like a second choice to me. Dan

has served the Democratic Party well for six years and has the experience I’m looking for in a candidate. I know what to expect with Dan. I don’t know what to expect at all with Wes since he’s surrounded himself with people who I feel are trying to build a “good ‘ol boys club.” Dan Kelley has always put his position as state representative first and has always voted in the best interest for Jasper County citizens.

Please join the rest of us and support Dan Kelley for State Representative again.

that when I have the opportunity to venture south for a week or two get away, the schools are perfectly OK with portable buildings as classrooms. They allow for expansion when needed and are easily sidelined, when not needed. Students do just fine. All this in well to do areas. In the last few years we have had: school realignment that saved absolutely no money, administration building sold for a song, old Hy-Vee West and ajoining property bought and remodeled at a cost exceeding what a spec building could have

been built for. We have seen busing extended to hauling kids to and from school for meals, after school later so kids don’t have to have homework.

Sixty percent of Newton is owner occupied housing, who do you suspect is going to be footing the bill once again? Sorry, but I am already overtaxed and underpaid, if only most of us were paid what administrators (school or city) were paid, maybe we would be more accepting of your big ideas.

who loves them. Their special day will be just another day to try and survive ... if they can.

Who are these poor parents?

They are the breed dogs trapped in a puppy mill. Iowa has the second largest number of large-scale commercial dog breeders (aka puppy mills) in the United States. These facilities house approximately 15,000 adult dogs. Fifteen thousand! That’s not the national number — that’s Iowa’s number. These facilities are deplorable, filth and disease infected hell holes. While the adult dogs live in squalor, the “humans” reap large profits selling their often sick and genetically inferior puppies to the unsuspecting public as pets.

Angry? If you have a dog, or if

you have ever loved a dog, you can do something to help these dogs.

There is an organization that is working with law makers to stop the inhumane treatment of these dogs and to support good and responsible breeders. Because after all, we love dogs.

During this time when we remember our parents, or for the dog you love or have loved, please check out Iowa Friends of Companion Animals at www.iafriends.org and see how you can help the mothers and fathers trapped in puppy mills. You can make a difference. You just have to do it. Because they need you to.

Woman’s lack of experience makes her reluctant to commit DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with my high school sweetheart for six years. He is only the second person I have been intimate with. I love him and am pretty sure that we will end up marrying. Neither of us has ever cheated.

The problem is that I’m having doubts about my lack of experience with other men. I’m not saying I want to sleep around with random men, but I would like to experience intimacy with someone else so I won’t wonder “what if ” when I am older and married.

Am I wrong for this? — CONFUSED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR CONFUSED: I don’t think you are “wrong,” but your question does make me wonder whether you are ready to settle down. If your sex life were as fulfilling as you would like it to be, you wouldn’t be asking if you are wrong for wanting more. Level with your boyfriend about your feelings to see if you can work this out. However, if the answer is no, then both of you may want to move on.

DEAR ABBY: We are friends with a couple who married five months ago. My husband, “Ian,” was one of the groomsmen, so we were deeply involved with wedding details a long time prior to the wedding. Ian and the groom, “Claude,” are now on the same team at work.

Since the wedding, Claude spends a lot of time talking about his wife to anyone within earshot and on social media to the point of excess. (The bride is “perfect, beautiful, lovely” and he’s “so lucky to be married to her,” etc.)

Everyone on the team works over-

time every night because Claude posts love notes to his wife all day.

The team supervisor talked to my husband about it, and asked him to cover Claude’s workload because of his pre-wedding and now post-wedding bliss.

I have filtered the guy’s posts and stopped reading, but Ian feels stuck in the middle at the office.

He needs Claude to get his head back in the game and work. How can my husband gently communicate that this is affecting Claude’s job performance and driving everyone batty? Ian is afraid that if he complains to the supervisor, his friend will feel betrayed.

— OVERLOADED IN ALABAMA DEAR OVERLOADED: The matter should be brought to the attention of their supervisor so the supervisor can handle it before it becomes a morale problem.

What’s going on is unprofessional and unfair to the other team members. The supervisor should tell Ian’s besotted friend that the time he’s spending messaging his bride has increased the workload on everyone else, the honeymoon is over, and he needs to get his mind back on the tasks at hand.

Relatives seek death certificate for missing man CEDAR RAPIDS — Relatives of a man missing for nearly two years say they’ll probably need to hire an attorney so they can obtain an Iowa death certificate. The relatives went to the Linn County Courthouse Tuesday to get a certificate for James Booher but were unsuccessful. Relatives say Booher was last seen May 31, 2014. His sister reported him missing a few days later, and his abandoned truck was found on June 9, 2014.

Sentences suspended for women in staged robbery SIOUX CITY — A judge has suspended prison sentences for two women who pleaded guilty in connection to a staged Sioux City bank robbery. Nineteen-year-old Heaven Zevenbergen and 19-year-old Angelica Perez had been sentenced to five years in prison in February after pleading guilty to second-degree theft as part of a plea agreement. Prosecutors said Perez entered a Security National Bank branch at a Hy-Vee supermarket last August in a disguise, and warned Zevenbergen via a note that she was armed.

Supervisors OK new equipment approved for county engineer

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Several pieces of equipment used to assemble a tandem axle truck with a dump box and pup were approved for purchase on Tuesday.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors selected low bids from Henderson Products, Nuzum Services and Houseby Mack for a total of $188,700 to provide parts and construct the new piece of machinery.

Henderson Products of Manchester presented a bid of $55,600 for a 16 foot Henderson Mark E Dump Body, 11 foot by 36 foot Henderson reversible snow plow, tailgate spreader, certified power hydraulics and controls and professional installation of all equipment.

Also added to the bid is a 7 gauge 2010 SS body and pup trailer hook-up.

To accompany the truck box, Nuzum Ser-

vices of Baxter was selected to provide an aluminum pup chassis with steel tube construction and a premier 430 front pivot. The total for the pup and necessary parts came in at $35,892. Nuzum also was asked to bid on the truck box, but Jasper County Engineer

Russ Stutt said Nuzum felt it was beyond the scope of what they normally deal with.

The final piece approved for the truck was the tandem cab chassis.

Houseby Mack of Des Moines had the lowest of two bids received at $97,200. The bid was re-

duced by $8,000 following at trade in of an old county truck Stutt said.

The new truck will be paid for using funds from the fiscal year 2017 budget.

“It actually came in at about $11,000 less than what we budgeted for,” Stutt said.

Also purchased for the engineer department was a motorgrader from Murphy Equipment for $66,125.

“It is one of the pieces that we had and sold back to them. The buy back that they gave us a few years ago was $128,000,” Stutt said. “They had it listed for $122,500 they just recently dropped it to $96,125. So, they dropped the price considerably.”

The price was further reduced $30,000 with the trade in of an older six-wheel drive machine from the county.

“We had estimated $100,000, so it came in considerably less,” Stutt said.

Last on the engineer’s list was the bid for the new maintenance building to be constructed in Reasnor. Griner Buildings was approved at $174,500 to serve as the contractor of the five stall building. Griner has pre-

viously worked on the past three buildings constructed and has a good working relationship with the county.

The price was slightly higher than what was estimated but Stutt thought it was reasonable for the work being done.

“The first couple they built, county workers put in more time to build it, lowering the cost. This one more was put into the contract to keep the county workers time free and available for other work,” assistant to the engineer, Pamela Olson said.

In other business: • The Newton Chamber of Commerce was approved to use the courthouse lawn for the annual Fourth of July celebration.

• A new part-time position in planning and zoning was approved.

DHS director defends decision over money for disabled people DES MOINES (AP) — The head of a state department on Tuesday said he didn’t spend $750,000 on a disability program as intended by some Iowa lawmakers because his agency received unclear language in a budget bill about how to use the money.

Iowa Department of Human Services Director Chuck Palmer told a legislative committee that a spending bill approved last year for the current budget year didn’t include instructions to use the money for a program that helps

people with disabilities get and hold a job.

“As a director, where did I have clear and strong ability to go back to and say this is where I got the legisJochum lative intent?”

Palmer said of the final bill language.

The money became part of the state’s roughly $4.2 billion Medicaid budget. Some lawmak-

ers said DHS was told in a letter last summer that the money was intended for the program.

“There are several legislators who are disappointed in what happened,” said Rep. Megan Jones, R-Sioux Rapids, who sits on the Administrative Rules Review Committee.

Palmer said he recognized that some lawmakers wanted the money to be used for the program, but he reiterated that “without language, I made a decision that I didn’t have legislative intent or direction.”

The committee spent nearly an hour questioning Palmer about the logistics of the funding decision. Several lawmakers ultimately expressed a commitment to adding more specific language in the future to avoid a similar issue.

Senate President Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque, said an original draft of the health and human services budget bill passed last session did include instructions for the disability program and somehow the final version dropped it. She said the import-

NSNWR volunteer opportunity Saturday

Continued from Page 1A Larry Cleverley of Cleverley Farms is slated to lose 60 acres of his 220 acre family farm due to the construction, including all of his USDA-certified organic fields.

Cleverley made the last of his impassioned pleas to the commission on Tuesday in Ames, citing an independent engineering study he commissioned of the highway project. He claims the report vindicates his push for the installation of a $1.5 million J-turn as an alternative to the diamond interchange.

“I, not being an professional engineer, think that maybe it’s time the IDOT come into the 21st Century and use some of the more innovative interchanges that aren’t that far out there today, J-turns being one of them,” Cleverley said.

“Designs that are just as safe, move traffic just as efficiently and take far less right-of-way. So my question is to you does the Iowa Highway Commission want to be part of the problem or do you want to be part of the solution.”

IDOT Director Paul Trombino said Tuesday the department already has an “agreement in principle” with Cleverley

Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge is hosting the monthly Second Saturday Stewardship activity from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Volunteers will be transplanting native prairie plant seedlings to larger containers in an indoor setting.

File Photo Organic farmer Larry Cleverley explains easement maps at an Iowa Department of Transportation public meeting at Baxter Community Schools in Aug. 2015. The maps showed how roughly 60 acres of Cleverley’s family land will be used in the construction of a diamond interchange on Iowa Highway 330 north of Mingo, and west of Baxter.

Cleverley lost his fight to convince the Iowa Transportation Commission to reconsider the $14.4 million project Tuesday in a 4-3 vote.

for the purchase of his land.

Following the ruling, Cleverley took to both his personal and Cleverley Farms Facebook pages to express his disappointment with the outcome and IDOT. “Well, we lost,” Cleverley wrote. “The process is as undemocratic as the IDOT wants it to be.

But life goes on. Thank you for all your support during this hard, arduous battle.”

The Indiana-based engineering firm hired

by Cleverley to compile the report does contracted work for the Missouri, Indiana and Illinois DOTs, according to the

Mingo farmer.

In response to Cleverley’s presentation Tuesday, Trombino said he conferred with the engineering firm and concluded it did not consider the geometrics and topography surrounding the highway stretch when analyzing the viability of the J-turn. He also reminded commissioners when the J-turn option was presented by the IDOT in public meetings in Baxter, popular opinion was against the J-turn. He cited letters of support for the diamond interchange from the nearby Baxter City Council, Baxter school board and Baxter

Economic Development Corporation.

The director also pointed out the independent engineering firm did not conduct an onsite study of the dual-intersection.

The IDOT’s five-year plan, which includes the Highway 330 improvements, was approved in a meeting in October 2015 and will be under further discussion at the commission’s June meeting. Construction on the diamond interchange is scheduled to begin in 2017.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.

TERRI MCCAULEY | AGE: 18 | DIED: SEPTEMBER 26, 1983 Location: Sioux City Terri McCauley, a young mother of two, was last seen alive getting into a white Chevy Nova in a Sioux City parking lot in the early morning hours of Sept. 26, 1983. Before climbing into the car, McCauley told the two friends she was with, that she was going on a date. The white male driving the Nova headed north on Omaha Street and then west onto W. 8th Street. She would not be seen again until her body was found on Oct.6.

A resident walking his dog stumbled across McCauley’s partially decomposed body in the wooded vicinity of 33rd and Pavonia Street. She lay along an unkempt dirt road, mostly naked. She had been killed point-blank by a 20-gauge shotgun blast to the face. Her shirt and shoes were found near her body. Investigators collected evidence for DNA analysis, but due to very hot temperatures and decomposition to the body, they were not able to nd much usable evidence.

McCauley’s friends were interviewed and cleared and the case seemed to hit a dead end until three months later.

While investigating a case where a man had  red a shotgun into a former girlfriend’s house, police were able to connect a white Chevy Nova, a 20-gauge shotgun and other evidence, to establish a suspect in McCauley’s case.

Though circumstantial evidence seemed to point to the Nova’s driver, an exhaustive search of the vehicle produced no proof she’d ever been in it. Waiting to obtain more solid evidence that would ensure a conviction, prosecutors held out on charging the suspect. Since the crime, new evidence has come to light that has caused investigators to look at other suspects as well. They continue to follow leads.

If you or anyone you know has information regarding Terri McCauley’s unsolved murder, please contact the Sioux City Police Department Investigative Services Bureau at 712-279-6390.

Newton boys dish out loss to Dutch

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Using his upper leg to control the ball is Newton High senior Chase Dykstra (20) and keep it away from Pella’s Jay Belding (17) during Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium. The Cardinals won 3-0 on Senior Night against the visiting Little Dutch.

Making the most of their final regular-season game at home, Newton High’s Cardinal boys handled the visiting Pella Dutch in Little Hawkeye Conference soccer action Tuesday.

On Senior Night, the Cardinals notched their sixth shutout of the season, defeating the Dutch, 3-0. It came after the team honored its seven seniors and their parents before the varsity contest.

“This was a special victory for the boys on Senior Night. Every player was excited for this game, especially the seniors,” Newton head coach Sackda Viravong said.

Newton senior forward Nick Rusk made a pass to sophomore forward Zach Combs for the first goal of the

night. It came at the 31:08 mark of the first half.

Combs’ goal held up for a 1-0 halftime lead for Newton. One reason was a big save by senior goalkeeper Griffin Engel in the first half. Engel recorded three saves on the night to push his season total to 27 against two goals allowed.

“Griffin made a great save in the first half,” Viravong said. “He didn’t have many shots to defend in the second half.”

Coming out of the break, the Cardinals kept the pressure on the Dutch defense and goalkeeper Sam Warner. Duncan Lee, a senior forward, delivered a score off a well-placed ball by junior Josh Gulling to put Newton up 2-0 with 36 minutes left in the game.

Lady Dutch edge Cardinals in 2A soccer showdown

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Going into the Class 2A and Little Hawkeye Conference showdown Tuesday, 10th-ranked Newton High’s Cardinals and top-ranked Pella’s Lady Dutch were 8-2 overall. The Lady Dutch held a 3-0 LHC mark while the visiting Cardinals were 2-1.

The Cardinals made a statement even in a 1-0 loss. There’s no back-down in the Cardinal players as they went toe-to-toe with the Lady Dutch through 100 minutes of play — 80 in regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods.

It was scoreless as the teams headed to deciding the game on penalty kicks.

Pella was kicking first.

Newton backup goalkeeper Addy Blom, who replaced

Ashlee Freese in the first half because of an injury, blocked Pella’s first penalty kick attempt by Katie Vander Molen.

The Cardinals’ first kicker senior Victoria Jordan nailed it to put Newton up 1-0, but Pella’s Maddie Canfield tied it. Newton missed on the next two penalty kicks — one was blocked by Pella goalkeeper Samantha Fuller.

The Lady Dutch’s Bellara Huang converted to put her team up 2-1. Each team had one more attempt, but all Pella’s Kiara Bradley had to do was score on her penalty kick to win the game. Bradley did and the Lady Dutch escaped with a 1-0 victory.

C-M’s Mosher wins SICL tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARENGO — When Colfax-Mingo senior Mason Mosher left the golf course at Marengo Golf Club Monday he was in a tie for the lead.

That round was suspended after seven holes and the entire field at the South Iowa Cedar League C. Jansen tournament was forced to start over Tuesday.

The frustration that Mosher had Monday didn’t carry over to the next day. He was able to regroup and maintain his momentum as he won a fourhole playoff to capture medalist honors at the conference tournament that was hosted by Iowa Valley.

Mosher and Iowa Valley’s Gavin Collingwood both shot 77s. Ethan Kaiser of Belle Plaine shot an 80 in third, while BGM’s Dylan Cunningham, HLV’s Dalton Kriegel, Sigourney’s Jordan Albert and Iowa Valley’s Breven Platt and Zach Smith all carded an 81.

The top eight golfers earn first-team all-conference honors.

Lynnville-Sully’s Caleb Jansen earned second-team all-conference honors as he finished ninth overall with an 82.

Iowa Valley won the team championship with a 322.

Belle Plaine was next with 337 and Sigourney and BGM both shot a 345 to tie for third.

North Mahaska finished fifth with a 351, while English Valleys and Colfax-Mingo tied for sixth with a 361.

HLV (370), Keota (383), Lynnville-Sully (392) and Montezuma (398) rounded out the field.

Mosher was 2-over-par (38) on his first nine holes and then shot a 3-over-par (39) on the back nine.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Mason Mosher won a four-hole playoff to earn medalist honors at the South Iowa Cedar League tournament at Marengo Golf Club on Tuesday. Mosher won the tournament with a 5-over-par 77.

Collingwood shot a 39 on the front nine and a 38 on the back nine.

Colfax-Mingo senior Jacob Buehrer shot an 89, while the other two counting scores came from freshman Ahren Teed and senior Zevin Lander.

Teed carded a 97 and Lander turned in a 98.

Senior Jake Jeter and sophomore Jonathan Jacobs had

non-counting scores of 107 and 120, respectively, Lynnville-Sully’s Jansen, a senior, shot a 41 on both the front and back nine.

Senior Kyle Van Dyke was next with a 96, while sophomore Holden Jansen shot a 104 and freshman Abram Collins had a 110.

Freshman Cade Dibello had a non-counting 137.

Golden State’s Curry is first unanimous NBA MVP, takes honor again OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — From the jaw-dropping halfcourt heaves that somehow sink through the net to the dazzling drives and zippy passes from every which way, Stephen Curry’s desire to keep getting better while always trying to entertain at every stop has Curry the Golden State superstar being mentioned right along with the best ever, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

And he just turned 28. There might still be so much more for the 6-foot-3, baby-faced point guard whose ability to make it on the big NBA stage was initially questioned by some.

On Tuesday, Curry accomplished something those former greats never did: He became the first unanimous NBA MVP, earning the award for the second straight season after leading the defending champion Warriors to a record-setting season.

“I never really set out to change the game. I never thought that would happen in my career,” Curry said. “What I wanted to do was just be myself. ... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put the time and the work. That’s how I got here, that’s how I continue to get better every single day.”

Curry is the 11th player in league history to be voted MVP in consecutive seasons and the

first guard since Steve Nash in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Curry received 1,310 points from the 130 media voters from the U.S. and Canada.

“I couldn’t imagine anybody not voting him first, and yet there always seems to be somebody who has to stand out,” Coach of the Year Steve Kerr said.

Curry was followed in the vote

by Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio, LeBron James of Cleveland and Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry’s teammate Draymond Green was seventh.

Nash, Golden State’s player development consultant, was on hand to congratulate Curry.

“It’s been weird, I haven’t had to say a word to him. It’s been the easiest job,” Nash said.

Curry is the first two-time MVP in franchise history, and Wilt Chamberlain (1959-60) is the only other Warriors winner.

After guiding Golden State to its first championship in 40 years, Curry & Co. took that success even further to finish with 73 regular-season wins to top the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10.

In a stunning overtime performance Monday night, Curry showed exactly how he can take over a game in a matter of seconds. He returned from a sprained right knee to score 40 points — and 17 in overtime — in a 132-125 win at Portland to put his team up 3-1 in the Western Conference semifinals.

Curry was sore and fatigued but ready to go again.

“He wants it,” Kerr said.

“There’s no ulterior motive. He just wants to be better. That’s who he is.”

Curry, now one of the most

recognizable and popular athletes worldwide, was presented with his MVP trophy at Oracle Arena before trying to close out the series against the Trail Blazers at home Wednesday night.

His teammates were on stage to cheer the latest accomplishment in a long list of them.

“He’s become one of the most popular athletes on the planet,” Kerr said. “People relate to him.

They genuinely enjoy watching him play and admire his humility and just the way he carries himself. The impact he’s had on the game is really dramatic.”

Curry averaged an NBA-best 30.1 points per game to go with 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds. He also led the NBA with 2.1 steals a game while shooting 50.4 percent from the field, 45.4 percent from 3-point range and 90.8 percent from the foul line.

From the start of the season, Curry vowed to take his game to another level — and did he ever.

Now, all that matters to him is staying healthy and leading the Warriors to another title.

Curry understands, and even embraces, the constant scrutiny that comes with being an MVP and playing on a championship team.

His pregame ballhandling routine alone draws huge crowds in every city, but it has been his long-range touch that has forced defenses to extend — and has kids and adults alike throwing the ball up from anywhere. He made a record 402 3-pointers after no player had previously even hit 300 in a season.

“I want to be remembered as somebody that worked hard, that got the most out of my potential and talent and pushed the envelope,” Curry said.

Both Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully begin postseason play at 10 a.m. Thursday at the sectional tournament at the Preserve at Rathbun Lake.

The district tournament is May 20 at Oskaloosa Golf Course.

Boys Continued from Page 1B Rusk had a run out against Pella and was going in on a one-on-one with the goalkeeper with 23 minutes on the clock.

Warner tackled Rusk in the box resulting in a penalty kick Following the official’s call, Warner was issued a red card and ejected from the game.

Pella sent Jarod Robertson in to defend a penalty kick by Rusk.

Rusk buried the ball in the net for a 3-0 margin for Newton.

“For the past few years, we came up Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News short against Pella. So Newton’s Zach Combs (11) tonight, we were ready celebrates his goal with Josh for the challenge and Ventling (10) in Tuesday’s home the boys delivered,” soccer game against Pella.

Viravong said.

The other seniors on the NHS team are forward Chet Adams, defender Dalton Nevels, midfielder Chase Dykstra and goalkeeper Grayson Bookbinder.

Rusk leads the Cardinals with 12 goals on the season followed by Lee with 10 goals. Newton had 10 shots on goal against Pella and four corner kick opportunities.

The Cardinals improved to 9-4 overall and 3-2 in LHC play. The Dutch fell to 7-8 and 1-4.

Newton finishes up the regular season with three road games starting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Prairie City-Monroe.

Newton’s junior varsity beat Pella, 5-1 after leading 2-1 at halftime. The Cardinals’ first half goals were by Jacob Murphy and Tyler Stanton, who was credited with an assist on Murphy’s goal.

Newton got a goal by Logan Heisdorffer with an assist by Stanton and two goals from Austin Johansen in the second half. Ty Arguello and Murphy had assists.

In the freshman game it was a 2-2 tie. Each team scored for the other in the first half to make it 1-1 and down 2-1 in the second half, Newton’s Gavin Aalbers scored. It was the final game of the season for the NHS freshmen.

Zobrist, Cubs beat Padres for eighth straight victory

NASCAR photo Martin Truex Jr., driver of the No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Boats Toyota, and Matt Kenseth, driver of the No. 20 Dollar General Toyota, lead the field at the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Go Bowling 400 at Kansas Speedway this past Saturday in Kansas City, Kan.

Column: NASCAR needs to take stand on North Carolina’s law

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Pat McCrory likes to spin a tale meant to illustrate his love for high octane and burned rubber.

It was 30 years ago, when the future governor of North Carolina was a 19-year-old who drove a ‘72 Fiat. McCrory says he saw the back gate had been left open at Charlotte Motor Speedway, so he slipped on in and watched David Pearson win the World 600.

McCrory draws hearty guffaws when he tells that story during appearances on behalf of NASCAR. He talks about how during his days as mayor of Charlotte, he used NASCAR to help recruit talent to the city, “especially mechanics, electricians, the aerospace engineers, the metallurgy specialists,” McCrory said last October.

McCrory also lauded an economic impact study that the speedway said shows a $450 million contribution from the track to the Charlotte-area economy.

It’s fair to say that McCrory loves NASCAR and NASCAR loves the governor.

That’s now a risky alignment as McCrory has doubled-down on North Carolina’s so-called “bathroom law” requiring transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding to the gender on their birth certificate. The governor and the U.S. Justice Department sued each other Monday, with the feds saying the law amounts to

Postseasons Continued from Page 1B Qualifying teams and individuals advance from sectional tournaments to district tournaments on May 20 for qualifying for the state tournaments.

The boys’ state golf tournaments are May 27-28 — 3A at Spring Valley Course in Livermore, 2A at Lakeside Golf Course in Fort Dodge and 1A is at Marshalltown’s American Legion Golf Course.

The 1A state singles and doubles tournament is June 2-3 in Waterloo.

High school girls’ golf re-

“state-sponsored discrimination” and McCrory accusing the Obama administration of rewriting civil rights law to protect transgender people’s access to bathrooms everywhere.

The law has been criticized by gay rights groups and led Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam to cancel concerts in North Carolina. PayPal reversed plans to open a 400-employee facility in Charlotte, and Deutsche Bank froze expansion plans near Raleigh. Nearly 200 corporate leaders from across the country, including Charlotte-based Bank of America, have called for the law to be repealed.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said last month that the All-Star Game won’t be played in Charlotte next February if the law does not change. He also said he sees no reason to move the game now because he’d prefer to first try to work with state officials.

That’s sort of the same stance taken by NASCAR, which waited well over a month to weigh in on the topic at all. NASCAR has offices in downtown Charlotte, its research and development center is located near Charlotte Motor Speedway, and most race teams are based in North Carolina. Yet NASCAR Chairman Brian France has been standoffish regarding the law, choosing to stay out of the fray with a soft stance of having behind-the-scenes discussions.

As always, the debate rages over the mingling of sports and politics. Since sports are supposed to be entertainment

and a distraction from real life, many fans prefer their teams and players stay out of the fray.

But NASCAR doesn’t get that pass because the series has so openly blurred the lines. In one calendar year alone, France said the Confederate flag is not welcome at NASCAR race tracks, he endorsed Donald Trump for president and the pre-race invocation at Texas Motor Speedway was used to pray for a “Jesus Man” to win the White House.

NASCAR is so deep into this political cycle that there’s no climbing out of it anytime soon.

So what does NASCAR plan to do about a law that McCrory said Monday is not a North Carolina issue but a national issue?

Well, NASCAR could move the All-Star Race scheduled for May 21 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It would be a dramatic decision, one that would place a significant burden on fans who have already paid for travel arrangements, and a blow to Speedway Motorsports Inc., the owners of the speedway.

It won’t happen and NASCAR is just as unlikely to move the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend. But even starting that conversation could get McCrory’s attention.

Unless, of course, NASCAR is OK with the law as it is currently written. If that’s the case, then silence and inaction probably is the best policy. After all, the governor is a NASCAR fan.

CHICAGO (AP) — Looking quite comfortable in the middle of the order, Ben Zobrist is benefiting from the relentless approach by the Cubs’ dangerous lineup.

Zobrist went 4 for 4, Addison Russell had three RBIs and Chicago beat the San Diego Padres 8-7 on Tuesday night for its eighth straight win.

“You pass the baton,” Zobrist said. “That’s what we try to do in the lineup, and guys have been doing a good job of that.”

Jon Lester (4-1) pitched six innings of three-run ball as Chicago improved to 25-6 for the best start by a major league team since the 1984 Detroit Tigers won 26 of their first 31 games. Kris Bryant drove in two runs and Jason Heyward scored twice, helping the Cubs open an 8 1/2game lead over second-place Pittsburgh in the NL Central.

Zobrist had run-scoring singles in the third and fourth against rookie Cesar Vargas (0-2). Zobrist also singled in the second and seventh, and scored in each inning on a hit

by Russell.

“I feel like it’s a cumulative effect for the whole team,” Zobrist said.

“Obviously they’re not getting breaks in our lineup and that’s what makes it so difficult for them to stay focused on every hitter.”

Zobrist, a switch-hitter who signed a $56 million, four-year contract with Chicago as a free agent, is batting .365 (23 for 63) with 23 RBIs in his last 18 games. He has driven in 17 runs during Chicago’s win streak.

“I’ve seen Zo really good,” said Joe Maddon, who also managed Zobrist with Tampa Bay, “and he’s really good right now.”

Alex Dickerson became the first player in Padres history with a pinch-hit grand

slam for his first career homer, according to STATS, but San Diego lost its third consecutive game. Melvin Upton Jr. also went deep for the Padres, and Jose Pirela had two hits and scored two runs.

“A special moment for me and all the work I’ve put in to this point,” Dickerson said.

San Diego lost another infielder when shortstop Alexei Ramirez left in the fifth inning due to cramping in his left hamstring. After hustling into second with a run-scoring double, Ramirez was hunched over behind the bag when a trainer came out to check on him.

Ramirez motioned to his hamstring and walked off the field under his own power after a short discussion. The Padres had nine players on the disabled list coming into the day, including four infielders.

“He tells me right now he’s feeling fine,” manager Andy Green said. “You can imagine with the rash of hamstring injuries and quad injuries we’ve had, if somebody says, ‘My hamstring hurts,’ we’re going to be very cautious. He was upset that we took him out and thought he was fine to play through it.”

Dickerson’s drive on an 0-2 pitch from Adam Warren trimmed Chicago’s lead to 8-7 with two outs in the eighth.

But Jon Jay bounced to second to end the inning, and Hector Rondon got three outs for his seventh save in seven chances.

get better.”

Newton is 8-3 overall and all three losses are to ranked teams. The Cardinals are 2-2 in conference play.

Newton plays a 7 p.m. non-conference game Friday against Adel-DeSoto-Minburn at Adel.

PELLA — Newton High’s Cardinal boys are comfortable playing the Bos Landen Golf Course in Pella. A little more than a week ago, the Cardinals won their first-ever Little Hawkeye Conference tournament championship at Bos Landen.

On Tuesday, the Cardinals sealed a share of the LHC regular-season dual golf championship, winning a conference triangular with Pella Christian and Pella. Newton finished with a 166 for its four-man total followed

by Pella Christian at 175, Reynolds Newton’s junior varsity at 196 and Pella at 205 for the nine-hole event.

The victories over the Pella Christian Eagles and the Pella Dutch pushed Newton to 4-1 in LHC dual action. Grinnell and Oskaloosa each have one loss in conference play.

“I was happy to see the guys accomplish their goal of being conference dual champions along with the tournament champions,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said.

Junior Austin Reynolds was the meet medalist with a round of 38, which was three strokes ahead of Pella Christian’s Graham Howerzyl’s 41. Newton senior Payton Thomas took third with a 42.

Senior Derek Damman and junior Trey Vanderlaan each carded a 43 for the Cardinals’ team score. Sophomore Shaiden Simons shot a 47, and junior Paul Maharry had a 48.

Leading the Newton JV squad was Nate Vanzee with 44 followed by Rhandyn Olfield with a 47, Sam Supino at 51 and Parker Schster at 53. Colin McAnally had a 54 and Devon Young shot a 55.

“It has been a great season, and we have three more big meets left,” Riley said. “If we can play well enough to get to the state tournament, the kids would complete their last goal. We will see how Friday goes first.”

Newton holds its Cardinal Invitational Thursday with teams teeing off a 1 p.m. at Newton’s Westwood Golf Course.

The Cardinal varsity is back on its home course at 9 a.m. Friday for a Class 3A sectional meet.

Qualifiers — individual and team — from the sectional advance to a May 20 Class 3A district tournament at The Preserve on Rathbun Lake hosted by Centerville. District qualifiers advance to the Iowa Class 3A State Boys Golf Tournament May 27-28 at Spring Valley Golf Course in Livermore.
