City working to extend bike trail

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Vietnam-era and Desert Storm veteran Wesley Justus, left, and Vietnam veteran Tom McKinney, right, place flags around the veterans section of Union Cemetery during Saturday’s clean-up effort. American Legion volunteers have been adding flags to veterans graves at the cemetery for about eight years, but this year, volunteers decided to add some landscaping cleanup as well.

Plans continue to move forward for the North Newton Hike and Bike T r a i l Proj e c t .

The project was i d e n tified in the Community Investment Unsworth Plan by the city council as needing to be constructed to continue the city-wide hike and bike trail.

The trail will extend from the exiting trail at North 11th Avenue East and East 12th Street North at Woodland Park. Final plans for the

project have been completed and submitted to the Iowa Department of Transportation for bidding.

“The great thing about the new bike trail is it will further connect our goal of making a loop around the community,” parks administrator Nathan Unsworth said. “For the most part all of our major parks are connected by bike trail, whether it is on or off street trails. It will be much more cohesive getting to and from parks.”

The bike path will be an on-street, signed route because of space constrains and design criteria for a bike path crossing railroad tracks.

Windy conditions don’t deter flag, landscaping efforts

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Darrell A. Cox served his country as a member of the U.S. Army in Korea in the 1950s. He’s one of the local military veterans buried in a special section of Union Cemetery. About 20 people spent part of a brisk Saturday morning cleaning up around Cox’s headstone and the rest of that section.

With Memorial Day two weeks away, the four elements of Newton’s American Legion placed new, small American flags on each of the grave markers Saturday in Union’s veterans section, located in the northwest corner of the cemetery.

Wally Schermerhorn, who helped organize the four elements of the Legion who participated in Saturday’s flag placement and landscaping work, said many of those who helped out have relatives or personal connections to Union Cemetery. Members of Legion Post 111 and the Newton chapters of the Legion Auxiliary, Legion Riders and Sons of the

American Legion all participated in the cleanup, which took a couple of hours.

“People just wanted to make it a little more respectable and show some pride in where our veterans are buried,” Schermerhorn said.

“It’s a community effort.”

Schermerhorn said the City of Newton has about three employees assigned to mow and do other basic maintenance and upkeep at Union Cemetery. These employees also now care for Memorial Gardens cemetery, and Schermerhorn said Legion volunteers have no bitter feelings about doing work that helps show what’s important to local residents.

“This is mostly about the family members who come out here, especially around Memorial Day,” Schermerhorn said. “The city does a great job mowing, which isn’t easy, so we’re just getting the smaller, more delicate work around the gravestones, and then adding flags.”

The Legion Riders have plans to do a similar cleanup and flag placement for veterans at Me-

morial Gardens within the next week, while the Legion Auxiliary will head to Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery.

Schermerhorn said Legion members have placed flags on graves at Union Cemetery for about the past eight years, in the weeks leading up to Memorial Day, but this was the first year of using string trimmers and other tools for minor landscape maintenance.

The flag stands are supplied by the Veterans Administration by way of the Jasper County Department of Veterans Affairs.

Schermerhorn said it’s easy to see why farmers or others stumble across abandoned graveyards on land that hasn’t been developed or used. Even graves in Union Cemetery, despite the best efforts of mowing and routine maintenance, can be obscured or difficult to find after only a few years of not receiving thorough attention.

“This cemetery was started in 1854, and some of the veterans’ graves go back to the Civil War,” Schermerhorn said. “And some might not have been touched for 100 years or so before we started putting the flags out.”

recalled

All items removed from Newton store, manager says

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Hy-Vee Stores, Inc. has recalled specific lot numbers of frozen HyVee brand vegetable fried rice and frozen chicken fried rice due to possible Listeria contamination.

The frozen vegetable fried rice being recalled was sold in one-pound bags with the UPC number 000007545012530 and the frozen chicken fried rice being recalled was sold in 20-ounce bags with the UPC number 0075450125290.

Both products have a “use by” date of Nov. 5, 2017, or earlier.

These products were sold at Hy-Vee stores

in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin between July 24, 2014 and Thursday. Out of an abundance of caution, Hy-Vee is recalling these two products from all of its stores.

Newton Hy-Vee store manager Todd Fox said all items that fall within the recall have been pulled from his store’s inventory.

Listeria contamination can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, and subsequent infections can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Symptoms can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Iowa celebrates $8B tourism industry Iowa Economic Development Authority

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Pappy’s Antique Mall has been empty for more than two years following the business leaving in December 2013.

Relics antiques, collectibles and stuff, which opened on the west side of the square just two months later in response to the closure, is moving into the large store front on First Avenue and is hoping to open on July 1.

Relics making move to Pappy’s building

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Relics antiques, collectibles and stuff is on the move and is heading to a familiar location on the downtown Newton square.

The business will be moving into the former Pappy’s Antique Mall on First Avenue, gaining much needed space to grow.

“We had a chance at renting it; so, kind of like our first move, we decided over the weekend and just took it,” owner Laurie Nelson said.

Relics originally opened in February 2015 following the closure of Pappy’s in December 2013. Nelson, along with her husband Jerry, opened up the shop after previously having a booth at Pappy’s and took along many of the vendors that had a home in Pappy’s.

“So far all of my vendors are going with me. Most of all them were over there when it was Pappy’s,” Nelson said. “A lot of the vendors are asking for their old spots from when they were at Pappy’s.”

Nelson and her husband have been hard at work getting the space ready for vendors again.

Between cleaning the carpets, remodeling the bathrooms, rebuilding counters and general housekeeping, along with running their thriving business, the Nelsons are looking forward to being in the new space and having the move complete.

“A lot of things that we purchased that were left in there and we’re working on getting that organized,” Nelson said.

Nelson hopes to have the move complete by July 1. She said to begin, they will be utilizing the main floor but could expand to the other three levels if business dictates.

“If we have to, the second level doesn’t require a whole lot of work, and we can open that,” Nelson said.

Relic’s current location and the Extra’s expansion will both close following the move.

Nelson said she knows the Pappy’s building is well known to those in the business and she will not be afraid to use that to her advantage.

“We’ll use Relics in the old Pappy’s building. I’m not afraid to use it for advertising,” Nelson said.

Although the move will leave another building on the square vacant, having a large, very visible space occupied is exciting for those working to rejuvenate the Newton downtown.

“Hearing about Relics’ plan to move into the Pappy’s building is very good news for the Main Street District,” Newton Main Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman said. “The building has been vacant for over two years now and it is fantastic to see such a highly visible building occupied again.

It is also great to see an existing retailer having success and expanding its operation.”

Nelson is currently looking to take on new vendors in the larger space. For more information about Relics contact Nelson at 641-787-0353 or relicsofnewton@windstream.net.

May 1-7 marked the 33rd annual National Travel and Tourism Week, which celebrates what travel means to American jobs, economic growth and personal well-being.

“It’s important for Iowans to understand that tourism is vital in our state,” said Shawna Lode, manager of the Iowa Economic Development’s Iowa Tourism Office.

“From families enjoying a weekend at a state or county park, to out-of-state travelers returning for a class or family reunion, to a sports team traveling en masse to a tournament, travel takes on many forms and makes a huge impact in Iowa. In 2014, travel in Iowa generated $8.06 billion in expenditures and nearly $375 million in state tax receipts while supporting 66,500 jobs.”

The dollars spent on travel in Iowa not only contribute to the state’s economic health but are an important part of travel’s economic impact nationwide. For example: • Travel is a $2.1 trillion industry in the U.S., with $927.9 billion in direct travel-related spending in the U.S. by domestic and international visitors in 2014.

• These visitors support 15 million American jobs— roughly eight million direct travel jobs and seven million indirect and induced jobs.

• Travel-related spending generated $141.5 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues in 2014.

“Travel-generated expenditures in Iowa have increased by an average of 5.94 percent over the last five years, better than the five-year national average,” said Lode. “In 2015, visits to traveliowa.comtopped one million for the first time, representing a 37 percent increase over the previous year and a good sign people are exploring Iowa as a vacation destination.”

2015 data from the Iowa Tourism Office showed additional increases over 2014: • Fans of the Iowa Tourism Office on Facebook grew 32 percent.

• Requests for the Iowa Travel Guide increased 19 percent.

• Twitter followers grew 18 percent.

• Welcome Centers served 4 percent more visitors.

In addition to its benefits for the local economy, travel can also have a positive effect on personal well-being for residents and visitors. Numerous research studies have confirmed the positive health effects of travel and time off, from reducing the risk of heart disease to decreasing depression. Families using time off to travel is good for everyone, especially children — kids who travel with their families are more likely to attend college and earn more as adults.

anticipates installing a sidewalk along the east side of East Eighth Street North to provide pedestrians a safe route to Woodland Park.

The cost for the design and construction of the trail is estimated to be $254,900. In 2013, the city was awarded a Transportation Enhancement Grant from the DOT in the amount of $185,500 to be used to extend the trail.

Details of the grant state that no more than 80 percent of the project can be paid for from grant funds. The remaining 20 percent will be paid for by the city by using budged money from the 2014 bond, Plant Two TIF District funds and credit for in-house engineering. Should project costs come in higher than anticipated, the city can use Surface Transportation funds to meet the need.

Additionally, at the request of a citizen, the City Traffic Safety Committee recommends replacing a yield sign to a stop sign for eastbound traffic at North 11th Avenue East and East Eighth Street North. The committee found the change will make the intersection safer for both motorists and cyclists.

The trail project is scheduled to be included in the May 17 bid letting by the IDOT. A public hearing is scheduled for the June 6 council meeting discuss the project and take action on any bids received.

This is the final planned piece to the community bike trail. Unsworth said the department will begin to explore routes to different ares of town including a trail that goes through downtown.

Lilacs in bloom

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

O

n my walk to work, I pass a row of lilac bushes. The scent is ingrained in my memory. I could pick it out anywhere. At this time of year when the blossoms appear, I am struck every time I get my first whiff — transported back to another place in time.

You see, my parents’ house sports a row of lilac bushes along the west side of the house, tucked neatly between the house and a row of evergreen trees. My parents didn’t plant them, they bought the home with the fragrant plant already in place. After years of careful tending, the bushes remain firmly rooted in their spot, giving off the wonderful scent each year.

My memories of playing outside in the yard wouldn’t be complete without them. Endless hours spent running around the house with my siblings and our faithful dog, Lucky, appear prominently in my mind. I can remember Lucky gleefully barking as he raced to catch my brother when James sprinted around the house.

Countless games of hide-and-seek were played around the house, sometimes using the lilacs for cover while you tried to remain unseen in broad daylight. I have funny memories of our cat, Pumba, using the shade as his favorite daytime napping area — only getting up to torment Lucky and his inability to catch the sly cat.

In later years when it was my turn to mow, I recall pushing the trim mower around the lilacs, and on occasion muttering when I accidentally scraped my forearm on one of the branches. Every year, I always seem to be at home the weekend my dad decides to trim the hedges. So I’ve lugged my fair share of discarded branches to the burn pile to make room for the new ones to grow in their place.

The fragrance wasn’t just enjoyed outside. Opening the window in my brother’s room brought you face-toface with the line of bushes. We loved to leave the windows open on a lovely spring day to allow the fresh air and scents to fill the house after a long winter, cooped up indoors.

Every year, when the lilacs bloom, all of the these happy times at home return to my mind and bring a smile to my face, no matter how my day or week has been up to that point.

Smell has always been the most intense source of memory of all my olfactory senses. It helps preserve memories that otherwise remain dormant in my long-term memory. If the movie idea behind the Pixar film “Inside Out” is true, some of these memories can be lost with age. I’d hate to think of the those memories turning gray and being deposited in the memory dump.

Spring is the season I am reminded as to why I enjoy my choice to walk to work. The short four block trip is enjoyed much more on foot than it could ever be behind the wheel of a car. Just think of all I would be missing as I zoom past, even if the windows down.

So as the saying goes, stop and smell the roses, or in my case, the lilacs and enjoy the scents of Spring. Who knows what kind of memories lie in store.

Eye on America John Stossel

Free-market medicine President Obama’s proudest accomplishment is increasing the number of Americans with health insurance. A better idea would be to help people escape government care altogether.

As I wrote after my recent surgery, hospital bureaucracy is toxic for patients. Unfortunately, calls for reform usually come from people who want more of the same — more health insurance coverage, more Medicaid, more layers of government oversight.

Our likely next president will push for more government-run health care.

“Single payer would have lower costs,” she claimed when pushing HillaryCare.

Progressives love that phrase, “single payer.” It suggests that medical costs will be covered not by you but by some benign other, without the nastiness of profit.

“Get profit out, get the private health insurance company out,” says filmmaker Michael Moore.

I reminded him that under Canada’s government-run system, patients wait in line for care, often for months. He replied, “That’s the line where they live three years longer than we do! That’s the line I want to be in!”

It’s true — Canadians and Europeans live longer.

Progressives cite that to plug single payer. But it’s deceitful. Canadians live longer not because their health care system is better, but because they behave differently. They drive less often and so have fewer accidents. They murder each other less often. They’re less likely to be fat, or as I said to Moore, to “look like you.”

I give him credit for laughing, but then he claimed Canadians live longer “because they never have to worry about paying to go see the doctor.”

Give me a break. It’s nice not to worry, but it won’t save your life. Some Canadians worry so much about not getting treatment that they travel to the U.S. to see doctors.

In Canada, we do find one pocket of free-market medicine: clinics that offer cutting-edge, life-saving technology without waiting lines.

But you need four legs to get that treatment. If Canadians want a CT scan, the waiting list is a month.

But a private veterinary clinic will scan your dog today.

When government is in charge, you get long lines and someone else deciding if you get treatment.

I don’t claim that America’s partly private system is great. I wrote about bureaucracy and indifferent customer service. Some of you mocked my “whining”: “What a jerk. They save his life and he complains.”

You have a point. I’m now back at work, and playing beach volleyball, less than four weeks later. I’m grateful that I got good medical care.

But I’m a consumer reporter. I don’t see why the rest of the experience can’t be good, too.

On my TV show this week, my guests describe real reform: free-market medicine.

David Goldhill, author of “Catastrophic Care: Why Everything We Think We Know About Health Care Is Wrong,” points out that, “Unfortunately, the customer of the hospital isn’t the patient, it’s the insurer, it’s Medicare, it’s Medicaid ... (T)hat difference explains a lot of the things that we are dissatisfied with in American health care.”

Breckenridge is a leader

Food insecurity is critical issue

I worked with Wes Breck​ enridge at the Newton Police Department. He treated all of his colleagues with respect and made everyone feel like part of the team. I appreciated that he sought out and listened to the suggestions of his co-workers, including me. As a state and country, we need more leaders that display these qualities.

I know that Wes has always been pro-choice. He has a strong commitment to fighting for equal pay for equal work. It is unfortunate that some are spreading false rumors that suggest otherwise.

I am proud to support Wes Breckenridge, a candidate with the integrity and dedication to lead.

In Jasper County, there are 4,600 individuals who do not know where there next meal will come from — that’s 12.5 percent of the total county population. It is absolutely critical that future policymakers and community leaders in Iowa understand the importance of food in our state.

Now that the 86th General Assembly has adjourned, we look ahead to the elections in November.

Residents of Newton will have a great opportunity to vote for a candidate that will make anti-hunger efforts a priority.

What Iowa needs are policymakers that will stand up for the 4,600 Jasper County residents that struggle with hunger.

I encourage voters to get to know their candidates. Ask questions aimed to raise aware-

Kelley campaign is desperate Colette Klier’s letter to the editor claims that if you don’t support Dan Kelley, you are dividing the Democratic Party. I couldn’t disagree more.

Dan Kelley has divided our party with his votes and actions over the past six years. Having a Democrat representative vote against veterans divides the party. Kelley’s votes against medical cannabis, which would help ailing children and Iowans, divides the party. Letting Larry Cleverley lose his family farm through eminent domain and refusing to help him in the fight divides the party. Blocking everyone but your closest supporters from your Facebook feed because they dared to ask a question divides the party. Walking out of pub-

lic meetings that you yourself scheduled because you don’t like the people there divides the party. Banning the media from your public events divides the party.

Constantly being in the negative in your campaign fund and writing yourself expense checks from your donations divides the party.

The last point is the biggest. I heard Rep. Kelley has leaked he is considering running as an independent if/when he is defeated in the Democratic primary. He is still asking for campaign contributions from good zfemocrats and according to his own site has raised more than $2,000 dollars online. But, if you notice, he isn’t running newspaper ads, he isn’t running radio ads and he obviously isn ‘t spending any money on yard signs . So that tells you one of two things. He is saving his campaign donations from good Democrats to fund an indepen-

ness and promote public discourse around the many pertinent issues affecting Iowa’s food system. One question might be: What would you do to ensure every Jasper County resident has access to enough nutritious food to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.

Our policy-makers need to understand that addressing hunger should be a priority. The impacts of hunger are devastating.

This issue is not just about food; it’s about addressing a cause of diabetes, hypertension, aggression, and anxiety. It’s about ensuring our children are properly nourished so that they may grow at a rate comparable to their food-secure peers. It’s about improving the long-term economy of our state by reducing the annual cost of treating illness due to food insecurity. Please remember, your vote this fall will make an impact.

dent run in the fall or he plans to reimburse himself for personal “expenses” as he has done in the past.

That behavior divides the party. So, I agree that you know what you are getting with Dan Kelley but the majority of citizens don’t like it. The nasty, negative personal attacks by Cindy Pollard, Gene Bryant (a former minister for goodness sakes) and now Colette Klier show the level of the Kelley campaigns desperation. People are tired of the Kelley campaigns continued negative tone and yes, that divides the party. Wes may not be able to bring us back together, but he is a far cry more responsive and positive than who we have now. Dan has burnt way too many bridges. Wes will win in the fall, Dan won’t. It’s that simple.

Spray tanning for preteen girl is not recommended

DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband has suggested and arranged for a series of spray-tan sessions for my 12-year-old daughter. I feel that telling my preteen girl that she should spray tan is sending her the wrong message, and we should instead be teaching her that she’s beautiful just the way she is.

How do you feel about this? Should I allow my 12- year-old daughter to tan? — TAN OR NOT IN TEXAS DEAR TAN OR NOT: NO! Your ex-husband may mean well, but unless a product is 100 percent safe, I cannot endorse using it on a minor child. According to Darrell Rigel, M.D., professor of dermatology at New York University, any absorption of DHA — the main ingredient in spray tans — can pose a potential risk of genetic mutations, especially in repeated users of the product and those in higher risk groups such as pregnant women and young children. (By the way, salon workers who apply these products repeatedly throughout the workday should also be aware of this.)

For more information about this, visit: abcn.ws/1K0p8x9. The ABC investigative report is a must-read.

Frankly, it curled my hair.

DEAR ABBY: I work at an urban high school. Recently there was a campus-wide fundraising campaign during which one of the teachers sold brownies. A student bought all of them for $1 each, then resold them at lunch for $2 apiece for his own profit. My co-workers insist this was wrong, while I feel it was representative of an enterprising spirit.

My co-workers say it was immoral to make money off a fundraising event.

I maintain that the charity was already paid for the brownies, and what he did with them after he bought them is immaterial. What do you think? — WONDERING IN PENNSYLVANIA

DEAR WONDERING: Having purchased the brownies, the student could dispose of them as he wished. If other students were willing to spend $2 for $1 brownies, well — that’s capitalism. Perhaps next year the teacher who sold the brownies should raise her rates.

DEAR ABBY: Why do friends ignore a woman after being friends for many years because she is now widowed? I am not the only one who says this. At the senior center they all agree.

I’m willing to pay my way for dinner, concerts, movies, etc. I don’t expect anyone to pick up my tab. Still, I am no longer invited to lunch or dinner gatherings.

Someday, these friends may be in my position. They claim to be kind and caring individuals, and I miss them. I have invited them over, but they never reciprocate. What can I do?

— LONELY WIDOW IN FORT MYERS, FLA. DEAR WIDOW: Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do to change the behavior of the people you thought were your friends. However, that doesn’t mean you must live in isolation. There are things you can do to lessen the loneliness you’re experiencing. Chief among them would be to cultivate new interests and, along with them, new friends.

Woman accused of stealing from US Postal Service CEDAR RAPIDS — A woman has been accused of misappropriating money while serving as postmaster in Nora Springs.

Last week a grand jury indicted DeAnn Lewman on two counts of misappropriation of postal funds and 42 counts of false entries.

Federal court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment on her behalf.

Prosecutors say that between May 2014 and January 2015, Lewman took nearly $3,000 in cash and stamps and took nearly $3,100 that was meant to buy Postal Service money orders.

INDIANOLA — A judge has declared the Warren County Courthouse no longer habitable and says court employees are at risk in it. Chief Judge Arthur Gamble of Iowa’s Fifth Judicial District issued the finding this week.

He also told Warren County supervisors that if the county doesn’t act soon, the court will begin a process to compel the county to provide suitable court facilitates, as required by law. A $35 million bond referendum, which would have allowed the supervisors to build a new justice center, failed earlier this month.

Man shot by police during chase gets 20 years in prison WATERLOO — A man who was shot during a police chase in Waterloo has been sent to prison. Brandon Seeley, 24, pleaded guilty Friday to assault on an officer, eluding and possession of methamphetamine for sale. He was given 20 years in prison as part of his plea deal with prosecutors. Officials have said an officer feared for his life Nov. 3 when he fired four shots through the window of Seeley’s vehicle as it sped toward him.

New Fort Madison prison seeking correctional officers FORT MADISON (AP) — Officials are seeking to hire correctional officers for the new maximum security prison in Fort Madison.

Those interested in applying must be a high school graduate or have earned a GED certificate.

Eligible applicants also must pass a background check, panel interview, psychology exam, recorded observation and judgment test, drug screening, medical exam and have a valid driver’s license.

Selected candidates must then go through a four-week academy, followed by an on-the-job probationary period.

The rigor of the process reflects the increased responsibility of a position that used to be called “prison guard,” said Associate Warden of Security Doug Bolton.

“Sometimes titles are just titles, and sometimes they are more descriptive of what you do,” Bolton said.

Bolton said the job entails more than guarding prisoners. Correctional officers are responsible for supervising work crews and conducting inmate and cell searches, among other things, he said.

File Photo A Fort Dodge-based trucking industry official said technology changes in the business are happening quickly in Iowa.

Technology changes rapidly altering trucking industry

By Chad Thompson The Messenger FORT DODGE — In the trucking industry, technology is driving change.

Todd Smith, chief operating officer at Decker Truck Line Inc. in Fort Dodge said by the end of 2017 it will be mandated that all trucks have electronic logs. Paper logs will no longer be accepted.

This change in technology has made it a difficult transition for some of the older truckers, who account for a large percentage of drivers.

Smith said the average age of the driving force today is an estimated 57 years old.

“Some of those drivers might be used to the paper logs, so that change is creating anxiety,” he said.

“Some of those drivers are getting out of the industry.”

Stricter emissions standards on trucks are also having an impact.

Decker Truck Line Inc. recently put an order in for several hundred new Peterbilts, most of which use automatic transmissions and burn cleaner fuel, Smith said.

“Our fleet is going to be one of

the youngest fleets in the country,” he said.

Smith said trucking is vital to the health of the economy.

“The trucking industry is about a $600 billion industry,” he said.

“Out of $600 billion, about 75 percent of that is delivered on what we call a truckload, which is a full truckload of freight, which is what Decker is involved in.”

“When you go to the store, any store, a truck delivered it,” he added. “So if the truck industry is healthy, the economy is healthy.”

Recognizing the importance of truckers, Smith said it’s important to treat them with respect.

“Our focus at Decker is that we believe driver is king,” he said.

“Our drivers are the most important part of the team here, and we firmly believe that.”

The industry is also trying to battle through a shortage of truckers throughout the country.

“Right now depending on what you read or who you believe, we have a shortage of about 96,000 drivers overall,” Smith said. “The challenge that we have is that the average age of a driver is 57, and those drivers are retiring. We ar-

en’t replacing those drivers fast enough. More are retiring than coming in and that is creating somewhat of a gap.”

Jeff Frank, director of the Iowa Central Community College Transportation Technology Center, said the problem with the shortage of truckers can be solved with better retention.

“If we improve retention, we improve our turnover rate and that means we don’t need to hire as many people,” he said.

Part of achieving better retention begins with proper training.

At 390 hours, Iowa Central’s trucking school is one of the longest Professional Truck Driver Institute programs in the nation, according to Frank.

“The more drive time and practice they get, the better they will be when they leave,” he said.

Frank said some schools are shorter, but the results aren’t as good.

“Anybody can get the job,” he said. “If I can breathe on the mirror and fog the mirror, I can get the job. I need the skills to retain the job because if I don’t have the skills, I’ll be terminated.”

Iowa may ban alcohol at two state beaches SOLON (AP) — Iowa officials are considering banning alcohol use at two state beaches because of past problems.

The proposed rule would apply at Lake Macbride near Solon and Pleasant Creek at Palo. Alcohol would be banned at the beaches but would be allowed in the campgrounds.

The rule still needs approval by the Natural Resource Commission and Gov. Terry Branstad, who hasn’t taken a position on it.

Lake Macbride and Pleasant Creek both have a history of alcohol-related problems, and officials decided those sites needed attention first.

But Iowa officials are reviewing alcohol policies at all state parks, so additional changes are possible.

Between 2010 and 2015, more than 5,000 incidents and citations were reported at Iowa’s state parks. A total of 1,021 cases involved alcohol.

Five of Iowa’s 72 parks accounted for nearly two-thirds of the alcohol-related incidents.

Those were Lake MacBride, Pleasant Creek, Gull Point at Milford, Backbone at Dundee and Lake Manawa near Council Bluffs.

The problems at Lake Macbride have gotten worse since 2004 because the crowds grew after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers banned alcohol from beaches at nearby Coralville Lake.

Candidates Continued from Page 1A Q: What are some county resident needs that have gone unaddressed in recent years?

A: Doug Cupples Thats a great question! The only thing I think of please email me at dougcupples@gmail. com with any needs you feel have been unmet by the county!

A: Mark Sutter The roads, as I mentioned. Some of that is at the city level, but the board of supervisors manages many roads.

We have this huge difference in the roads among different areas, where Colfax roads will ruin your car, but Newton has great roads, and I believe we can do something about that. Another issue that applies to many others is the fact that only some of our county tax revenue stays in county coffers. We can fight to keep more of our tax revenue inside Jasper County instead of sending it off to Polk county. That would help the schools as well, and the law enforcement.

Q: What are some important principles county supervisors should keep in mind when determining the tax burden on residents? What do you think of recent tax increases?

A: Doug Cupples The state of Iowa gives a scope of authority for County Supervisors. It’s a kind of oath. I take this statement very seriously and will do everything in my power to honor it. Iowa counties are empowered by the state of Iowa to perform any function to “protect and preserve the rights, privileges, and property of the county or of its residents, and to preserve and improve the peace, safety, health, welfare, comfort, and convenience of its residents” It’s unfortunate that taxes have gone up and to be clear I have laid out the actual tax increase.

The property tax % rate in Jasper for the last 2 years has remained level. For the next fiscal year 2016 - 2017 the rate is going up aprox. 29 cents per thousand. So if you own a $100,000 property then your taxes will go up $29. That’s a .00029% increase. I will always be diligent and responsible in my efforts keep spending as low as possible and to save the people of Jasper County tax dollars and still provide much needed services.

A: Mark Sutter We are happy to pay our taxes when the money is wisely spent, but more importantly, when the government has its spending priorities in order. First are the schools, law enforcement, water and sanitation, and

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | May 16, 2016 decisions. What is your priority as the resident of Jasper County who drives the roads or has kids in the schools?

other truly essential services. Money should not be spent on other things until each of the essentials covered. Having managed the Ashton Observatory owned by Jasper County, I have a deep commitment to our parks and recreation system, for example, and would like to see more money spent on that, but if there is a shortage in a school budget somewhere, the school comes first. One of my goals as a supervisor is to take a hard look at priorities and efficiency.

of paved. Thats a lot of road! There are 400 bridges and up to half of those are in need of repair or replacement.

Bridges and roads today require engineering and being up to code.

It is a very serious and expensive issue. I know that our county engineer is highly regarded and trusted for his work and how he gets things done.

I will be very attentive to the roads and bridges issues!

A: Mark Sutter Not enough. For example, I almost got stuck in the mud recently on a county road that desperately needed repair. It was a dirt road that had been allowed to deteriorate for far too long. The band-aid was to dump more gravel on top. It’s now so loose that drivers are at risk of sliding into the ditch.

Going back to the theme of priorities, more focus on roads means less focus on other things. And this ties in precisely with the issue of community engagement. We have to be asking the questions to the people most affected by these kinds of

Q: Do you feel the county is taking enough initiative to maintain and repair roads and bridges? Should more focus be put on repairs for the roads and bridges than currently is being done?

A: Doug Cupples This is our biggest concern we hear. There is a 5 year plan in place and it is detailed out to what gets fixed, when it gets fixed and why. We have over 1200 miles of county roads in Jasper County. 900 miles of gravel and 300 miles

Q: Most of the higher-level elected offices in Jasper County in both parties are held by men. What do you think your role is as candidates and party leaders to address the lack of diversity in the county’s elected offices and within the party itself?

A: Doug Cupples I believe that your sex, your race or your religion does not hold you back in Jasper County.

We are richly diverse community and I would encourage anybody that feels the desire to serve the people in an elected position to get involved.

The voters will decide who they think is the most qualified candidate. Never believe that others are holding you back. You are your only limit! Over all I hear more positive than negative. Many good things are happening in Jasper County. In Jasper county we have the resources to solve our problems all around us. The people, businesses, churches, and organizations that donate their time, money and resources to make Jasper County a better place for people to live, work, love and play. Do good to all people! Be doers, givers and encouragers! Use the

Golden Rule! People of Jasper County, DON’T GIVE UP! A: Mark Sutter The Republican Party in Jasper is doing a wonderful job at diversity, and if we simply keep up the good work, we will see continued improvements. Just recently I served on the committee that recommended Diane Brock to be the new chair of the Jasper County GOP. Have you heard of Joni Ernst, a Republican and the first woman from Iowa in the U.S. Congress? How about our outstanding lieutenant governor? As a party leader, I will do everything in my power to make sure that Lieutenant Governor is the next governor of Iowa.

My bottom line is that diversity is essential in government, because elected leaders are supposed to represent the people. What we do in the GOP is to provide opportunities for people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds to get their feet wet in politics. Experience does matter, and perhaps the only thing holding anyone back today is that they weren’t as involved yesterday, that they didn’t get that entry-level experience. It starts right here in Jasper County, where people like me are working hard to support and mentor those who might otherwise be left out of politics.

University of Iowa exhibit honors ‘Star Trek’ anniversary

By Zach Berg Iowa City Press-Citizen IOWA CITY — The galaxy of “Star Trek” has lived — and prospered — longer than just about any other American television show.

Almost 50 years since the original TV show aired on NBC, its worlds and characters — Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock and many others — loom larger now than they did in those early years.

The University of Iowa Libraries, whose staff is populated

by Star Trek fans — “Trekkies,” for short — is capitalizing on 2016 being the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek universe with a new exhibit in the main library’s gallery. Featuring a multitude

of art created by Trekkies, oneof-a-kind documents from the UI’s connection to Star Trek and many out-of-this-world Star Trek toys, the exhibit celebrates what has made the series so beloved.

“Star Trek was very much a show of its own time. It has a very late-’60s vibe,” Peter Balestrieri, curator of the science fiction and popular culture collections for Special Collections, said Wednesday as he walked through the exhibit.

“Notions of living in peace; that cooperation is better than competition; that exploration and science are more valuable than conquest and interplanetary imperialism — those are beautiful notions in Star Trek that people are still connecting with.”

The exhibit opened April 25 and runs through the summer, until Aug. 5. Inside the gallery are both the sights and sounds of Star Trek: muted pink, blue and yellow lights enshroud action figures and spaceship replicas; the sounds of space and the USS Enterprise carry across the room.

“Any Star Trek fan will feel at home here,” Balestrieri said.

The original “Star Trek” television show first aired in September 1966. Centered around the exploits of the crew of the USS Enterprise in the 2260s, Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner, and Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, explored the Milky Way galaxy.

Their five-year mission: “to explore strange new worlds, to

seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

After the show was canceled in 1969, the franchise’s popularity actually increased. In 1979, the film franchise was started with “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” The film series’s second film, 1982’s “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” was directed

by UI graduate Nicholas Meyer and was both critically and commercially successful.

“It keeps rolling through all these permutations, and all of these permutations managed to be successful,” Balestrieri said of Star Trek’s 50-year run. In total, there have been 12 Star Trek movies, with the 13th — “Star Trek: Beyond” — scheduled to be released this summer, and six

Des Moines;Brookwood Incorporated;E65090;3.22x6 (16Sp-B1)

Star Trek television series, with the seventh coming to CBS next year.

The Main Library at UI was a perfect fit for a Star Trek exhibit for numerous reasons, Colleen Theisen, Special Collections outreach and engagement librarian, said Wednesday.

“Because Kirk is from Iowa, he only works in outer space,” Theisen said.

Riverside, just 14 miles south of Iowa City, is known as the future birthplace of Captain Kirk.

Each year, the town of 993 people, according to the 2010 census, celebrates their Star Trek connection with TrekFest. The two-day festival draws Trekkies from across the country with a parade, contests and Star Trekthemed games.

Cancer patient receives first penis transplant in US BOSTON (AP) — A cancer patient received the first penis transplant in the United States, a Boston hospital said.

Massachusetts General Hospital confirmed Monday that Thomas Manning of Halifax, Massachusetts, received the transplanted penis in a 15-hour procedure last week. The organ was transplanted from a deceased donor.

The New York Times first reported the transplant Monday.

Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, who helped lead the surgical team, tells the newspaper that normal urination should be possible for the 64-year-old Manning in a few weeks, with sexual function possible in weeks to months.

“We’re cautiously optimistic,” said Cetrulo, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, adding that “it’s uncharted waters for us.”

The Times reports most of Manning’s penis was removed amid a battle with an aggressive and potentially fatal penile cancer. The cancer was discovered in 2012 after the bank courier was severely injured in a work accident. Doctors treating him found an abnormal growth on his penis.

Manning said he experienced hardly any pain during and after the procedure. One serious complication came the day after the surgery when he was rushed to the operating room after beginning to hemorrhage. He said his recovery has been smoother since, but he still wasn’t ready to take a close look at the transplant.

Manning, who is single and was not involved with anyone when the cancer was discovered, said the amputation made new relationships impossible.

He said he’ll be lucky if he gets to “75 percent” of what he used to be. The bank courier told the newspaper that he looks forward to going back to work and hopes to have a love life again. He said he’s speaking out in order to help dispel a stigma associated with cancers and injuries affecting the genitals.

The donor penis came from the New England Organ Bank. It told the newspaper that the donor’s family wished to remain anonymous, but had delivered well wishes to Manning.

It took three years of preparation, including operations on cadavers, before the team was ready to perform transplants. The operation on Manning involved about a dozen surgeons and 30 other health care workers, according to the Times.

Cetrulo said his team will likely perfect its technique on civilians before providing transplants for injured veterans. He said the Defense Department doesn’t “like to have wounded warriors undergo unproven techniques.”

Colleges announced for Pell ‘dual enrollment’ program

AP Photo In this file photo, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during an interview with The Associated Press in his office at Trump Tower in New York.

Trump’s questioning of value of data worries GOP ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump says he plans to win the White House largely on the strength of his personality, brushing off the need for a heavy investment in what he calls the “overrated” use of data to shape campaign strategy and get out the vote.

Should he hold to that approach, which he outlined last week in an interview with The Associated Press, Trump will flout all conventions of what it takes to win a modern presidential campaign.

By doing so, critics in both parties argue, he’d give up what could be a strategic advantage over Hillary Clinton, his expected Democratic opponent.

“It’s a big risk,” said Chris Wilson, who ran an expansive data operation for Texas Sen. Ted

Cruz, Trump’s stiffest competition in the Republican primaries. Jeremy Bird, who worked for President Barack Obama’s data-rich campaign, said: “Flying blind is nuts.”

A few days after the AP interview, Trump aide Rick Wiley said the campaign would indeed give priority to data and digital operations, looking first to tap the resources of the Republican National Committee and the heavy investment it has made in data over several years.

The use of data has evolved over the past several presidential campaigns into a shorthand for using information — starting with simple lists of potential voters, then mated with extensive details about their habits and beliefs — to guide a campaign toward its ul-

timate goal: the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.

Campaigns use the information in all sorts of ways, from deciding where to send a candidate to making sure supporters cast a ballot.

In his AP interview, Trump discounted the value of data: The “candidate is by far the most important thing,” he said.

He said he plans a “limited” use of data in his general election campaign and suggested Obama’s victories — universally viewed by political professionals as groundbreaking in the way data steered the campaign to voters — are misunderstood.

“Obama got the votes much more so than his data processing machine, and I think the same is true with me,” Trump said.

WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Thousands of low-income students in nearly two dozen states will soon be able to get federal grants to take college courses while still in high school, part of a program the Obama administration plans to begin this summer.

The experimental program allows high school kids to apply for federal Pell grant money to pay for college courses. The “dual enrollment” program is designed to help students from lower-income backgrounds.

The Education Department says the administration will invest about $20 million in the 2016-17 school year to help about 10,000 students.

On Monday, the administration is announcing 44 colleges that are expected to participate in the program.

“Innovation is an important underpinning in our efforts to expand college access and increase college completion for our nation’s students,” said Education Undersecretary Ted Mitchell. “These sites will help us learn how the availability of Pell Grants impacts participation and success in dual enrollment programs.”

A Hug A Day...

Hugs can make us feel cared about and connected, but they can also trigger a host of other health benefits. In a recent study, researchers looked at how getting hugs and perceived social support affected participants’ susceptibility to a cold virus.

Those who felt the most social support were less likely to develop a cold. Experts say that the stress-buffering effects of hugging accounted for 32% of the protective effect.

Hugging stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin, which can lower heart rate, improve immune function, lower blood pressure and reduce levels of stress hormone. It also raises levels of serotonin,which can elevate mood.

Cardinals wait through rain delay, earn district golf spot

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News For three hours they waited and watched as the rain poured down at Westwood Golf Course on Friday the 13th. Newton High’s Cardinals and the rest of the high school golfers competing in the Class 3A sectional golf tournament.

Most of the golfers had 14 of the 18 holes played and marked on their scorecard when they were pulled off the golf course because of the severe weather. It was either wait it out and finish or go home, come back at a later date and start the tournament over.

They waited, and it paid off for the hosting Cardinals. Lead by junior Austin Reynolds, the Cardinals claimed second place at the sectional with a four-man score of 329 and are headed to a Class 3A district tournament.

“It’s great to be heading to districts. I’m proud of the team,” Newton senior Payton Thomas said.

“We’re looking to play better and advancing to the state tournament.”

Knoxville’s Panthers scratched out a 3A sectional championship with a 322 team score. Since Newton hosted the sectional and was second, Bondurant-Farrar’s Bluejays advance to the district along with the Cardinals and Panthers per state rules. The Bluejays finish third with a 352.

“I was really proud of the kids today. Making districts was yet another goal of theirs, and they can check that one off the list,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said. “State is their last goal, and we certainly have a shot to make that happen.”

The top four individual medalists for the sectional were Reynolds with a 77, Knoxville senior Wyatt Carter with a 78, Bondurant-Farrar senior Dylon Storey with a 79 and Knoxville senior Ben Galeazzi with an 80.

“I started off alright. I birdied No. 2 which helped,” Reynolds

said. “I had a couple of holes on the front nine which I could have shot better. I got to the middle of the tournament when they stopped us and I lost a little of my momentum.”

Reynolds said the delay wasn’t too bad to get through. When they went back out on the course, the golfers had to deal with wet conditions along with colder temperatures and wind.

“The greens stayed about the same speed after the rain, but the wind picked up which made it hard to get off the tee. Hitting the second shots, you had to keep it lows and draw it in there,” Reynolds said.

“We feel really good about advancing to districts. I think we’re capable of making it past districts and getting to state. We played pretty well today — a couple bad strokes here and there — and I know we can play a whole lot better.”

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CONRAD — Sophomore Dayton Boell came into Friday’s Class 2A sectional golf tournament with a season-best 18-hole score of 82.

After three straight bogeys to begin his round at the par 70 Oakwood Golf Course, it looked like it could be another one of those rounds in the mid-80s.

That all changed after knocking in six pars over

his next seven holes and then recording two birdies on the back nine.

Boell was four-overpar after nine holes, but imBoell proved that by two shots on the back nine during a career-best round of 76.

NHS tennis girls lose in second round of team regional action

Area prep teams combine for large state track meet contingent

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Brennen Dodd is a two-event qualifier for Newton High’s boys at the state track meet in Class 3A competition.

Newton High’s track teams qualified in 10 events for the 2016 Iowa State High School Track and Field Championships. There will be 68 area high school athletes competing in the co-ed event Thursday through Saturday at Drake University in Des Moines.

Area athletes will compete in Class 3A — Newton — Class 2A — Prairie City-Monroe and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter — and Class 1A — Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully. On Thursday and Friday, Classes 3A and 2A competition is in the morning session starting at 9 a.m. and Class 1A is in the afternoon session at 2 p.m.

Saturday’s session features running events for all four classes (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A) beginning at 9 a.m. at Drake Stadium. Eight medals are up for grabs in each event contested.

Admission to each session is $10 per person. Look for a complete area state track meet event schedule in Tuesday’s Newton Daily News.

Class 3A Newton has 15 athletes headed to

the state track meet. Senior Sydney Jenkins is qualified in three events for the Cardinal girls. She runs in the 400-meter dash and has the fifth-fastest time, 1 minute, 0.20 seconds, going in to the state meet.

Jenkins combines with seniors Alex Hutchinson and Leela Spencer and sophomore Liz McVey to compete in the 800-meter sprint medley relay. The same foursome will compete in the 4x100-meter relay race. Newton carries the fifth-best time into the state in the sprint medley at 1:53.51 and is 23rd fastest, 52.29, in the 4x100.

Sophomore Alexis Stout competes in the 400-meter hurdles and has 22nd fastest qualifying time at 1:11.27.

Stout and sophomore Morgann Eide return to the state to compete in the shuttle hurdle relay race along with sophomore Audrey Lucas and freshman Abbie Barr. The foursome’s time of 1:11.41 is 23rd going into the meet.

Sitting right in the middle of qualifiers for the girls’ shot put is sophomore Haley Revell. Revell’s 37 feet, 6 inch throw for second at Thursday’s state qualifying meet is 13th best among state meet qualifiers.

Newton’s boys are competing in four events. Junior Brennen Dodd has the 19th-fastest qualifying time in the 400 meters at 52.01 seconds. Dodd anchors the Cardinal 1,600-meter distance medley relay, which is 21st at 3:44.26. Also on the relay are sophomores Clayton Baltisberger, Matthew Karsten and Jack Callaghan.

Junior Connor Gholson finished fourth in the state qualifying meet Thursday, but he competed in the one of the toughest 3A long jump fields in the state. Gholson’s 21-2 leap qualified eighth going into the state meet.

Another tough qualifying field was in the discus on Thursday at Bondurant as Newton sophomore Jace Lukefahr finished fifth at 143-7 1/2.

Lukefahr’s throw qualified for the state meet as the 10th best in the state.

Class 2A CMB and PCM combined to send 25 athletes to the state track meet in the 2A competition.

Host Colfax-Mingo finished fourth with a 282 on a cold and windy evening at the par 36 Colfax Country Club.

“This was a great way to finish out our regular season,” PCM coach Val Edwards said. “The girls are pumped to start regionals on Monday.”

CMB’s Abbie Ericson finished fifth with a 57. E-B-F’s Teri Lane was the fourthplace finisher after shooting a 55.

DES MOINES — Newton High’s Cardinal boys ended their 2016 tennis season at Thursday’s Class 2A district tournament hosted by Des Moines Roosevelt.

Seniors Jake Bennett and Nick Geerlings opened district doubles play with a win over Des Moines Hoover’s Josh Carmanatta and Phi Diep, 6-2, 7-5. They dropped a 6-1, 6-0 decision to Geerlings Des Moines Roosevelt’s Lance Maharry and Jack McCoy. Also in doubles, Newton’s junior Seamus Vandemore and senior Jonah Keeton lost to Urbandale’s Mohammad Chaudhry and Brett Carrier, 6-2, 6-0.

McKinney also lost in three sets to Des Moines Hoover’s Jesse Laungaphayvong in a two-hour match. Newton coach John Bieber said McKinney won the first game of the match on his way to a first-set victory.

“The first game lasted over 10 minutes and I was very proud of Michael when he won it,” Bieber said.

“Every other match had already played three for four games by that point, and Michael was still fighting off break points to start the match on the right foot.”

Laungaphayvong outlasted McKinney to win 2-6, 7-5, 6-2.

Newton went 2-7 in dual action this spring under Bieber, who was in his first season as Cardinal head coach.

secured him a spot in the Chase.

But it was third-place finisher Chase Elliott that may have cost Larson as much as Kenseth’s late-race maneuvering.

Elliott, the second-generation rookie who replaced Jeff Gordon in the No. 24, made an aggressive run and briefly passed Larson for second.

Their brief battle took enough steam out of Larson’s push that Kenseth was able to create a needed gap and become the fourth Joe Gibbs Racing driver to win in 2016.

Kasey Kahne was fourth and Kurt Busch fifth. The race ended with only 14 drivers on the lead lap.

Brian Bleakney leads Newton Trap Team

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Adam Ring/Marshalltown Times Republican Prairie City-Monroe freshman Andrew Van Ryswyk finished in a tie for seventh place with teammate Reid Jenkins at a Class 2A sectional tournament at Oakwood Golf Course in Conrad on Friday. The Mustangs advanced to the district meet following a 13-stroke win.

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B Boell earned medalist honors on the day, and the Prairie City-Monroe boys’ golf team cruised to the team title by 13 shots over Albia.

PCM finished with a 324, while Albia also advanced to the district tournament with a 337. Pella Christian, which had two golfers in the top four overall, was one shot back in third. The rest of the eight-team field included West Marshall (357), host BCLUW (360), Davis County (376), Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (409) and East Marshall (428).

Boell’s 76 was three shots better than runner-up medalist Logan Faler of Davis County. Mitch Fopma of Pella Christian was third with an 80, and Graham Howerzl of

Pella Christian shot an 81 to finish fourth.

PCM junior Ryan Hill tied West Marshall’s Hunter Pfantz for fifth.

Both golfers shot an 82.

Mustang senior Reid Jenkins and freshman Andrew Van Ryswyk each shot an 83 to finish in a tie for seventh. Sophomores Noah Lanphier and Jackson Thomas both had non-counting scores of 91.

Boell had three pars, two birdies and four bogeys on his back nine.

He birdied the par 5 No. 12 and the par 4 No. 14. Van Ryswyk birdied the par 4 No. 5.

The Mustangs advance to the district tournament for the second straight season. They’ll once again play at Fox Ridge Golf Course in Dike on Friday.

SEARSBORO — Brian Bleakney drew down on the clay pigeons flying, despite windy conditions, in Saturday’s high school trap shoot to claim second place in the varsity male division. He broke 40 targets, one bird behind first place.

Overall, Newton’s varsity team struggled during the competition, finishing last in the nine-team varsity division. Other teams competing were host Grinnell, BGM, Centerville, North Mahaska and Montezuma at the Big Springs Shooting Range.

“Overall, scores for Saturday were lower than we typically see by this stage of the season,” Newton head coach Paul Klein said. “The windy conditions really mess with the flight of the targets, making it a lot tougher. Most of our shooters are having a difficult time adjusting for these kinds of conditions and their scores show it.”

The Newton junior varsity squad placed fifth out of six teams. Allison Ulrey shot a 37 to take second place in the junior varsity female division. Dallas Schaeffer was Newton’s top junior varsity male shooter, finishing 15th with a score of 27.

Tennis Continued from Page 1B sophomore Bethany Baumgartner, 6-1, 6-0.

Senior Kate Wyre lost 6-0, 4-3 to Meredith Ossian.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Brian Bleakney competes in a home meet for Newton Trap Team. He finished second in a high school trap shoot Saturday at Big Springs Shooting Range in Searsboro.

Newton competed in a skeet and 5-stand sporting clays shoot against Pella Friday at Big Springs Shooting Range.

Bryce Romick posted Newton’s best scores in both events. He shot a 43 out of 50 in skeet to take sixth place out of 19 and hit 46 out of 50 targets in 5-stand, placing third out of 17 shooters.

“It’s exciting to see members of the team placing toward the top against

teams which have a lot more experience in skeet and sporting clays,” Klein said. “We have a few shooters who have the ability, they just don’t consistently perform at that level.”

The Newton Trap Team competes in a trap shoot Saturday at the Marshall County Gun Club in Marshalltown.

Against North Polk, Pressgrove rang up a 6-4, 6-1 win over Audrey Ley and Wyre won 6-0, 6-2 against Kacie Thompson.

Griffith had a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Rebecca Reid.

Thorpe claimed a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Emily

Washington and Humphrey won 6-1, 5-3 against Chloe Laizure. Baumgartner netted a 6-3, 6-1 win over Grace Nelson.

Cardinal girls’ golf second at South Tama Newton loses to ADM

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News TAMA — Playing focused no matter the conditions is a lesson learned by Newton High’s Cardinal girls Saturday in the South Tama Girls’ Golf Invitational. On a cold, blustery day, the Cardinals came up two strokes behind Nevada in the team standings.

“Our girls had great attitudes, and I’m proud of how they kept fighting through the elements,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “Our experienced players did a good job of maintaining their focus and our younger players learned how important it is to put our best effort into every shot.

It’s a lesson we’ll carry going forward.”

Newton finished second with a combined four-player score of 399 while Nevada came in at 397.

Vinton-Shellsburg finished third with a 401 followed by Benton

at 424, Grinnell at 431 and host South Tama had a 445.

The Cardinals were led by senior Jessica Reynolds, who finished in a tie for first with Nevada’s Claire Ausman.

Each Fitzgerald golfer shot an 86 with identical rounds of 42 and 44. Ausman won the scorecard tiebreaker for the medalist honors. Reynolds took runner-up medalist.

Reynolds recorded two birdies in the 18-hole tournament. Enyart said she nailed a four-foot putt to birdie the par-4 No. 6 whole and chipped in for a birdie on the No. 5 hole the second time around the Tama Toledo Country Club golf course.

Newton placed three in the top 10 individual medalist spots.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Reynolds shot a 40 on the front nine then rallied with a 37 on the back nine.

Thomas posted Newton’s second-lowest score of the sectional with an 83 (44-39).

Junior Lizzy Coyle shot a 109 (54-55) for the final team score for the Cardinals. Sophomore Alayna Reynolds had a 110 (5357) and sophomore Taylor Dydell carded a 111 (54-57).

It was the final regular-season competition for the Cardinals.

Day wins The Players Championship PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The best field in golf was no match for Jason Day at The Players Championship.

Day caused only a little drama Sunday in what otherwise felt more like another coronation for the 28-year-

old Australian. He led by at least two shots the entire round, played bogey-free again on the back nine at the TPC Sawgrass and closed with a 1-under 71 to win golf ’s richest tournament.

He won by four shots over Kevin Chappell.

with rounds of 39 and 45.

Senior Derek Damman could laugh about it afterwards, but he went through a tough go on No. 9 Friday.

“I had four shanks (shots) on that hole,” Damman said. “I’ve had this problem for about two weeks. With a couple tips, I think I’ve figured it out. I did not have a shank on the back nine which was a positive. It’s a physical and mental thing.”

Damman, who plans to play golf for Iowa Central Community College next year, recovered and finished with an 85 (45-46) as the Cardinals’ final scoring individual. Sophomore Shaiden Simmons notched an 88 (40-48) and junior Paul Maharry shot a 92 (43-49).

“We played a game of cards called golf during the delay. It was a long delay, but it was about keeping your patience. I had time to plan a few shots because I only had four holes left to play,” Damman said.

Winterset finished fourth at 369 followed by Dallas Center-Grimes at 371, Saydel at 380, Carlisle at 380 and Pella at 470 in the sectional at Newton.

Newton is headed to the Class 3A district tournament teeing off at 10 a.m.

Friday at the Preserve at Lake Rathbun.

The Cardinals face Knoxville and Bondurant-Farrar again along with Grinnell, which won its sectional, Oskaloosa and Williamsburg at the district.
