Fire destroys Newton home Nobody inside residence at time of fire

Local cancer survivors, loved ones and supporters gathered for a night of celebration and remembrance at the 18th annual Jasper County Relay for Life Saturday evening at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

The American Cancer Society fundraiser drew in people of all ages with food, music and a silent auction. There were also bounce houses, games, crafts, snow cones and face paint which drew in families.

“I came with my stepmom (Samantha Jut-

ting), and I just came to have fun,” Newton student Landon Jutting said. “I’m glad I did.”

Relay teams organized and began walking, and then the event kicked off at 5 p.m. with master of ceremonies Marshall Critchfield, a prayer by the Rev. Ken Van Loon and the national anthem sung by Mackenzie Quick.

Jasper County Area Emergency Responders led the annual Survivors Walk which recognized those who have been diagnosed with cancer and are still alive.

In Brief Nominations open for small business awards

Mike Mendenhall/Prairie City News The Stampede in downtown Prairie City was recently purchased by Todd Fiechter which he reopened May 27 as Stampede. The pub has an expanded kitchen menu and has been remodeled to have a rustic-urban feel, while maintaining themes of the prairie.

Longtime Prairie City restaurant remodels, reopens as Stampede

By Mike Mendhenhall Prairie City News Todd Fiechter scrubs the silver aluminum walls of an ice trough Friday behind the counter of his new Prairie City bar. He’s from Ankeny, and new to the small Jasper County town. Fiechter said he’s not afraid of hard work and the pub’s Prairie City-native employees told him the bar was about to fill with Friday night traffic.

“You’ll have to excuse me if I keep working. They tell me it’s going to be busy tonight, and I want to be ready,” he said with a grin. “You tell me where we start.”

Fiechter purchased the former UpTown Restaurant and Lounge from Jeff and Shelley Brouwer last month and reopened Friday as Stampede.

The restaurant had been on the market since November 2015, when Brouwers decided to move closer to their eldest son and daughter-in-law. UpTown was originally opened as Happy Endings in 2007, by Jeff Brouwer’s parents John and Janice Brouwer.

After three weeks of construction, Fiechter has invested roughly $9,000 in Stampede. He painted walls, added a wood-tile dance floor, remodeled the bathrooms, added granite table tops and Bison/Mustang wall decor in the dining rooms. But what he’s most proud of was what he found underneath the walls.

Fiechter and a small team of his buddies removed the old wood paneling of UpTown, restored and exposed the building’s brick.

“I wanted to expose the natural brick, because that’s the brick from the early 1900s when this building was built,” he said. “A guy actually put this brick here, and they didn’t have machines like we have

now. So a guy actually laid this brick with his hands. I wanted to bring a little bit of the history back to it.”

Fiechter is originally from Waukee. He’d been in auto sales for 15 years before buying Stampede, most recently at Karl Chevrolet in Ankeny.

Fiechter is a self-described people person, but while selling cars he wasn’t really his own boss. Then he remembered his favorite job — bar tending and waiting tables at the Raccoon River Brewery.

He said he’d been “looking for a deal” for nearly two years and when the UpTown offer presented itself, Fiechter took a few trips to Prairie City and jumped.

“I just kept telling my wife, I don’t love my job,” he said.

“My wife looked right at me and said ‘well that’s your own fault.’ I looked at her kind of funny and said ‘what do you mean it’s my fault?’ She pointed out you pick what you do. I said, ‘by God, you’re right.’ So three days later I came home and told her ‘honey, I bought a bar.’”

In the 1970s and 80s, Waukee was a quarter of its current size and Fiechter was taken by the Prairie City’s small town feel. He said he loves bison live just down the road in the national wildlife refuge and enjoys the marker of PCM’s mustang. So when trying to put his own brand on the long-time Prairie City establishment, Fiechter knew he wanted something thematic.

“I’ve been out here several times and I had about 100 names written down — Prairie City Pub, Stampede Bar and Grill — just boring normal stuff. Then I just woke up one day and said just ‘Stampede’ to keep with Prairie City, the Mustangs, bison and the Neal Smith trail,” he said.

This is also reflected in

Stampede’s new menu which leads with a Smokey Bison Burger. Stampede’s new offerings also include steak night on Wednesdays, a Friday night fish fry and a self-proclaimed “best lasagna in the whole world.” Fiechter will also serve hot roast beef sandwiches daily and has his own Taco Tuesday. It’s all prepared by head cook Janeen Brouwer Marchant, who is remaining from the restaurant/bar’s Happy Endings and UpTown days.

According to Marchant and Fiechter, Stampede’s first Saturday night was a packed affair, and they thanked the community in a post of the business’ Facebook Page.

“Wow, what a night,” Fiechter wrote. “Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to support Stampede on our first day in business. Can’t believe how busy we were. The number of people who showed up was incredible.”

In the future, the new Stampede owner hopes to host a poker and pool league, add karaoke and feature bands and a comedian every other weekend.

Although the businessman isn’t native, he won’t be a commuter for long, as Fiechter, his wife and their baby-on-theway plan to move to Prairie City soon and make the town their workplace and home.

“One of my first days here I saw two horses walking through town during rush hour, which would be 5:15 p.m.,” he said. “I thought, ‘that’s a place I want to live.

A place you can ride a horse through town at 5:15 at night and they’re no red lights.’”

Stampede is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to bar close Friday through Saturday.

Economists increasingly uncertain about US growth this year The Associated Press Business economists are giving a more pessimistic outlook about U.S. economic growth this year for the third consecutive month and uncertainty over the November presidential election has proven to be damaging.

The median estimate from economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics calls for gross domestic product growth of only 1.8 percent, down from the 2.2 percent forecast in March. The outlook for next year calls for 2.3 percent growth.

The survey released Monday also shows the forecast for growth in corporate profits swinging from a 2 percent gain in March, to negative 2 percent in June.

Of the economists surveyed, 57 percent said that uncertainty over the election led them to reduce their expectations.

Doubts about the economy deepened Friday when the government reported that hiring in May slowed to a near-standstill. While unemployment slid from 5 percent to 4.7 percent, the lowest since November 2007, the rate fell for a troubling reason: Nearly a half-million jobless Americans stopped looking for work and so were no longer counted as unemployed.

Employers added just 38,000 jobs in May, the fewest in more than five years.

The surprisingly weak jobs report raised doubts that the Federal Reserve will increase short-term interest rates at its next meeting in mid-June or perhaps even at its subsequent meeting in July. Rates have hovered around zero for seven years and almost everyone had expected the Fed to grow more aggressive this summer.

Economic unease has shaken up the upcoming presidential race.

Americans especially worried about the economy have been more likely to support outsider candidates like Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The crucial California Democratic primary is Tuesday.

Forty-nine percent of the economists in the NABE survey see a positive impact on economic growth this year from low oil prices, as opposed to 18 percent viewing it as a negative. For next year, 55 percent see the impact as positive and 7 percent as negative.

The economists expect home prices to increase 5 percent for the fourth quarter, unchanged from the March forecast. The median estimate is for the growth in home prices to slow to 4.3 percent next year, just above 4 percent forecast in March.

She is a survivor.

Wade, who works at PJ’s Deli and attended the event with her husband Ed, has had breast cancer three times and it’s come in different forms, she said.

The first time she had a mastectomy. The second time the tumor was above the scar. In 2013, the third time, cancer was behind her breast bone which paralyzed her vocal cords and left with a tract.

She has had several family members pass away of cancer including aunts and her mother and feels Relay for Life is an important way to support the

cause.

“It means something to me to support this. It’s just a good way to support the fund for cancer research and a cancer cure we hope one day,” Wade said.

After the Survivors Walk, nearly 20 registered teams were introduced and walked the track.

Relay Rockers, led by Lori Samson, was the second highest fundraising team this year raising more than $4,500. Team member Dot Logan collected more than $3,000. Team Optimae was in third and Life Supporters were in fourth.

The top fundrasing team this year was Stepping Stones, led by Lacie Dykstra.

Dykstra collected more than $8,400 for the American Cancer Society on behalf of Jasper County, a fundraising achievement

that comes with commitment.

When she was in first grade, her mother passed away of leukemia and before she turned 30, her father passed away of cancer too.

“Lacie does a lot of work. She has been touched in a way that she wants to fight for the cause,” Pence said.

Prairie Fire Tumbling, In Motion Dance and Newton Pacesetters performed throughout the evening, but the highlight of the night was the luminary lighting ceremony at dusk. Ron Husted played his bagpipe while luminary honorees were named off and loved ones continued to walk for the cause.

The 2016 Jasper County Relay for Life committee began organizing in March this year with chair Jeff Price and participants raised more than $45,000 for the cause.

Although numbers were low this year, Pence is pleased with how well the committee, community and teams came together to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

“Even if we raised $10,000 for cancer, that is still something.

Many of us have been touched by cancer in some way or another and this is what we can do to help fight back,” committee member Debby Pence said.

2016 Jasper County Relay for Life teams include: Bank Iowa, led by Loretta Tool; Team Cannon, led by Dana and John Cannon; Hope and Glory, led by Carol Hopkey; Life Supporters, led by Deb Sloan; Mercy Hospice, led by Kaye Swartz; NHCC, led by Kim Judge; Optimae, led

the curriculum includes, crime prevention overview, application process/background checks, lease agreements and addendum, active property management, legal aspects, fire prevention and inspection, building inspections and overview of nuisance and rental codes.

The program is mandatory for all landlords in Newton with four or more residential rental properties.

“The classes are continuing to educate landlords on their rights and how to create safe multi-housing units,” Umsted said.

Economic Development will be the next essential purpose to be presented during a June city council meeting.

High quality of life and effective, efficient democratic governance will follow in July and August with the cycle starting over in September.

Continued from Page 1A meeting on May 10 to begin discussions on forming the program. Lt. Wes Breckenridge of the Newton Police Department and Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess led the conversation about the program they hope will help bring more information to law enforcement agencies about crime in the county.

Efforts are currently being made to form a citizen board to establish policies, determine the amount and method of reward payments, work with law enforcement and the media and oversee the program.

Three classes have also been held for the Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, adopted by the city in September.

The program utilizes three phases with the first management training for property managers or owners, which is currently underway. There,

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

n occasion, you get asked the question, if you could meet anyone in the world and spend the day with them, who would it be?

For me, the answer is simple, my grandfather — Kenny Bushong.

He passed away when I was 2 years old, and I never fully understood the impact that event had on my family until I reached adulthood.

As a kid, I understood that my Grandpa Bushong was no longer with us. I saw him in photos and knew what he looked like. My dad took a camcorder with us on a visit to grandpa and grandma’s house in 1988. I watch it from time to time to hear his voice and try to understand the man I never got to know.

I cherish the stories my grandma, mom, aunts and uncles share about the man. It’s easy to see where mom got her

no-nonsense attitude mixed with her sarcastic wit. He wasn’t afraid to tell high school boys at a basketball game to stop being annoying and obnoxious or he would make them stop. When his son asked him to write a note saying he was sick for senior skip day, grandpa simply wrote “Rex skipped school” and signed his name. At times his wit backfired on him. He made a remark about “Bevy’s” homemade noodles one time, and to this day grandma refuses to make noodles again.

He never met a stranger — at least he never treated anyone like one. He could start a pleasant conversation with someone he had just met and in a few minutes, both would be laughing. My mom always says everywhere they went he would run into someone he knew. The best example was when he had to go get Great-grandpa

Bud after he got sick in California. They were never going to make their connecting flight with Bud in a wheelchair. As luck would have it, grandpa knew one of the guys operating a forklift on the tarmac. He chatted him up and got him to drive Bud to their plane using his forklift.

My older brother loves to tell the stories about candy runs to Casey’s with grandpa and our cousin Roman. The trip could only be gained if they ate everything off their plate at lunch time. However, if the two couldn’t finish the meal, grandpa would look the other way as they scraped the last bits off their plates for the cats out the back door. They would proudly present their cleaned plates, and they were out the door, making their short trip to town for a treat.

My mom was 35 when she lost her father, and I know she still misses him every day. This year, he would have celebrated his 84th birthday. When June 30 rolls around, I know Mom’s mind will be filled with thoughts of her father, wishing he could be here to celebrate — no doubt cracking jokes the whole time.

Death is a part of life. Even though I understand this, I am still affected by its impact. It’s a part of my job. As I sat next to a woman who placed an obituary in the paper for her daughter on the day that would have been her daughter’s 61st birthday, it is hard not to tear up. It’s a sad business whether you know the person or not.

Country artist Cole Swindell has a song, “You Should Be Here.” Every time I hear it, I pause as the meaning of the lyrics hit me. The song speaks to anyone who has lost a loved one. The last few lines of the chorus, in particular, make me think of all of my grandparents who aren’t with us anymore but especially Grandpa Kenny. “And you know that if I had just one wish. It’d be that you didn’t have to miss this. You should be here.”

When I think of all he had to miss, it makes me sad and angry we lost him so unexpectedly on that December day. But I know he is watching over all of us, living on in our hearts and our memories.

Eye on America John Stossel

Taught not to try The first step in inventing something shouldn’t be waiting for government approval. What would ever get done?

“Regulators like to see new types of law and regulation imposed upon the internet and emerging technologies,” warns Adam Thierer, author of “Permissionless Innovation.”

“From drones to driverless cars to the ‘internet of things’ ... they want to put the genie back in the bottle of all this wonderful innovation that’s out there.”

“Think about 20 years ago. If Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, if Steve Jobs of Apple or anybody from Google had to come to the government, say, the Federal Communications Commission and get their blessing or a license to operate, you have to wonder how many of them would even exist today,” said Thierer.

I assume that most would not exist, or if they did, they would be much less useful than they are now.

All Silicon Valley innovation would have been slower and dumber had they been forced to apply for FCC permission each step of the way.

Luckily, in the ‘90s, a Republican Congress and President Bill Clinton gave entrepreneurs a green light. Shrinking regulation was a popular idea then.

As a result, American innovation pulled ahead of the rest of the world. We got iPhones, Google and Facebook because competing private businesses ran the show.

In Europe, politicians took control. French bureaucrats created a computer network called Minitel and spent a fortune giving free computers to millions of people. The Minitel computers replaced paper phone books. People also used them to chat, book train reservations, etc.

Lots of people celebrated the “forward-thinking” French bureaucrats, but by 2012, Minitel was dead — replaced by unplanned innovation from America.

Europe treated innovation as something that could be run by centralized industrial policy. Today, many in the U.S. want to follow that example.

Try anything with a drone that involves making money, and government says you have to wait for permission from the Federal Aviation Administration.

“That’s not the way innovation happens,” says Thierer. “It’s a bottom-up spontaneous kind of thing.

Create the right environment and innovators innovate.”

Government worries about irresponsible things you might do with your drone, like fly it into an airplane. But drones weighs less than seagulls, which hit planes all the time.

“If you base all public policy on hypothetical worst-case scenarios, then best-case scenarios never come about,” says Thierer. “We’ll never get life-saving or life-enriching innovations.”

Fortunately, not everyone listens to regulators. At one hospital, volunteers use 3-D printers to create prosthetic hands for kids with missing limbs. It’s illegal to make such a device without FDA approval, but they do it anyway.

Things can go wrong. But we have mechanisms for dealing with mistakes other than requiring licensing that prevents new things from ever being. Parasitic lawyers will sue you if you injure someone. Property rights and common law can be used to punish those who violate the rights of others.

Says Thierer, “There are always risks in the world.

But we have ways of solving that without preemptive, precautionary, permission-based controls.”

When we consumers see a new invention or new way of doing business, we ask whether we might benefit from it. Politicians and bureaucrats ask whether the innovator got their permission. Can we tax it? Is it fair? Is it safe? Government errs on the side of saying no.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Creating a safe community Recently the City of Newton released the results of the 2016 Community Attitude Survey that showed citizens find Newton to be a safer community today than two years ago. The survey indicated the Newton Police Department earned a 78 percent good or excellent rating, up 12 percent from 2014.

Also, those who rated the department’s services fair or poor dropped 12 percent from the last survey. The survey also reflected a positive trend upwards in relation to crime prevention, traffic enforcement and animal enforcement.

Surveys are a great gauge for the police department to see progress in various areas of operations and we are proud of the results. As it relates to police services and the safety of the community, the survey means little if the crime statistics don’t back up the results.

I am pleased to report that the community saw a reduction in crime in 2015.

The police department tracks the number of crime reports taken annually and reports the type of crimes reported to the State of Iowa and in turn is reported to the FBI. Crimes are divided up into two categories — Part I and Part II crimes.

Part I crimes are further divided into two categories: violent and property crimes. Aggravated assault, forcible rape, murder and robbery are classified as violent crimes while arson, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft are classified as property crimes.

Part II crimes consist of the following categories: simple assault, curfew offenses, loitering, embezzlement, forgery, counterfeiting, disorderly conduct,

Newton Police Rob Burdess driving under the influence, drug offenses, fraud, gambling, liquor offenses, offenses against the family, prostitution, public drunkenness, runaways, sex offenses, stolen property, vandalism, vagrancy and weapons offenses.

In 2015 citizens reported 2,075 crimes to the police department, which was an 18 percent decrease from 2014 when 2,513 crimes were reported.

The community saw a 22 percent decrease in Part I (most serious) crimes reported and a 13 percent decrease in Part II crimes reported. Of particular note, violent crimes reported in Newton decreased by 14 percent and property crimes reported decreased by 1.5 percent.

The FBI has yet to publish the full nationwide crime report for 2015, but preliminary results indicate that violent crime increased by 1.7 percent and property crime decreased by 4.2 percent nationally. It’s too early to say whether Newton’s downward trend will continue, but the numbers are encouraging and shows great improvement.

Although the overall crime rate decreased, the department did have a 6 percent increase in calls for service. Calls for service involve any call from a citizen for assistance from the police department. This can include reporting crimes, suspicious persons, accidents, animal complaints, traffic issues and any other type of situation a citizen may call the police de-

partment for. Calls for service are tracked to determine the amount of workload the department is undertaking each year and although there was an increase in 2015 (16,433) over 2014 (15,553), it has not traditionally corresponded with a significant rise in crime. It’s difficult to clearly identify what caused the increase based on a one year analysis, but the change may be reflective of citizens being more proactive in reporting issues to the police department, which is hopefully a product of the police department’s efforts to engage and encourage our community to report incidents regardless of the severity.

Newton has overcome a lot of challenges over the past decade and it’s clear we are moving in the right direction. Newton is not alone in terms of the types of crimes and issues faced in the community when compared with other Iowa cities, but I believe our community should be proud of the positive steps we have taken. The police department can’t combat crime alone and we rely heavily on the cooperation our citizens. We are proud of the relationships we have built over the years and hope to continue building upon that foundation in the future. We encourage you to report incidents to the department regardless of how severe you believe they are. Your tip may be the information needed to solve a crime or catch a criminal.

The Newton Police Department appreciates the community’s continued support and we are honored to protect and serve you every day.

Stay safe and we hope to see you at Safety Fest on Saturday.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Marriage hits rough patch when old hurt resurfaces

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my husband for 28 years. During our first year of marriage, I caught him making out with an old classmate of mine. He assured me that it was only that and nothing else, so I decided to work through it.

We have five beautiful children now, and I’m not sure why I brought up that episode, but when I did I came to find out that he did, in fact, have sex with her. He swears it was that one and only time.

I can’t find it in my heart to believe him after he held on to this lie for all these years. I would have never given him a second chance had I known back then. I would have moved on with my life.

We still have two little ones to raise, but I feel as torn and heartbroken as if it happened yesterday. He’s a great father to our children and has been a wonderful husband, but is that enough anymore? — SALTED HEART DEAR SALTED HEART: Your husband most likely realized that if he told you the truth about his fling when it happened, the marriage would be over, which is why he lied. You have had 28 happy years of marriage to someone you say is a great father and wonderful husband. I can understand why you are upset, but think rationally.

If marriage counseling would make you feel better, please go for it and forgive him. To throw away everything you and your husband have invested in this marriage over something that happened almost three decades ago would be foolish, and you will regret it.

DEAR ABBY: I had a color and haircut and gave the stylist a generous tip. When I got home I noticed that one side was uneven, so I called the owner of the shop, who told me to return the next day and they would fix

the problem. No charge.

I returned, and another stylist corrected the problem. I asked again about the charge and the owner repeated, “No charge.” I didn’t tip the second person as I had tipped the first one after paying for the color/cut.

As I was leaving the salon, I overheard another salon worker ask the employee who had fixed my hair, “Did she not give you a tip?” Given the original expense, I didn’t feel another tip was warranted. Did I do the right thing? — NO TIP IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR NO TIP: You should have given the second stylist a tip. The salon owner told you the SERVICE was free, but the second stylist should not have been punished for the sloppy work of the first one.

DEAR ABBY: My brother is getting married the same day and time that my wife graduates from college.

The wedding date has been set for a year and a half. My wife found out a few months ago that there would be a conflict. I’m expected to be at my brother’s wedding to escort my mom down the aisle. Which do I attend? — CAN’T BE IN TWO PLACES DEAR CAN’T BE: With apologies to your wife, you should honor the commitment you made first.

DES MOINES — The state archaeologist says the planned Bakken oil pipeline should avoid a sacred Native American burial site in northwest Iowa’s Lyon County. John Doershuk toured the site Friday with state and federal officials and Sioux tribal leaders whose ancestors ceded the area to the federal government in 1851. Doershuk says in a follow-up report that the site has significant cultural and historical importance for the Upper Sioux Community, Standing Rock Sioux tribe and other Sioux people.

Advocates remain skeptical about new Medicaid oversight DES MOINES (AP) — Newly approved state oversight of Iowa’s privatized Medicaid program will make it one the most transparent in the country, according to Gov. Terry Branstad, but some health advocates remain skeptical as state officials begin determining plans for organizing and delivering some information required under the oversight.

The Iowa Department of Human Services is tasked under legislation signed by Branstad last month to submit quarterly and annual reports on how three private insurance companies are running the state’s roughly $4.2 billion health care program for poor and disabled residents. Various groups will

also monitor the program, which switched to private management on April 1.

DHS spokeswoman Amy Lorentzen McCoy said the reports will be based on hundreds of pieces of information. Those metrics are expected to include everything from how often the insurance companies communicate with Medicaid recipients to the number of grievances filed by patients, according to agency documents.

More specifics on how the reports will actually look have yet to be finalized. The insurance companies will submit raw data to DHS, and the department will analyze it to compile the reports. The first batch of raw data is due at the

Iowa City officials asked to support housing highrise IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa City architect is again asking city officials for support in seeking state tax credits to build a 14-story housing high-rise downtown.

Kevin Monson, president of Neumann Monson Architects, has provided the city with new plans for the mixed-use building that would include 72 housing units. Monson said the residential units will cater to young professionals.

The development on South Linn Street would replace the lot left vacant when the Van Patten House burned down in 2011.

The Iowa City Council will consider on Monday Monson’s request for a $72,000 investment and a letter of support to the Iowa Economic Development Authority Board for the state’s Workforce Housing Tax Credits program.

The program offers developers tax credits of up to 10 percent of the construction costs for housing units that do not exceed an average $200,000 per-unit construction cost.

If the request gains council approval, Monson said he plans to submit his application to the state board later in the week. The IEDA board began accepting applications for the tax credit program in February 2015.

end of September, and McCoy said a timetable for the first quarterly report has not been determined, though an annual report is due by December.

McCoy also said the department doesn’t plan to post raw data on its website.

“It would be so voluminous that posting it would be difficult,” she said. “And then having it be meaningful and show what kind of outcomes are being achieved would be hard for anyone to do the analysis just on their own.”

McCoy noted the law is brand new and the level of data collection and analysis required will be “something totally different” for the department.

“We want it to be as mean-

ingful as possible,” she said.

Some health advocates say they have reservations about DHS not posting raw data from the insurance companies.

Rhonda Shouse is a Medicaid recipient in Marion who is involved in health care advocacy and has brought others to the Capitol to speak about concerns over the program’s transition. She said DHS provided confusing data analysis on the Medicaid transition during the legislative session.

“I just don’t trust them,” she said. “I don’t trust their interpretation of things because there has been a lot of spin.”

Don Dew is another Medicaid recipient and executive director of Disabilities Resource

Center of Siouxland, a nonprofit based in northwest Iowa. He suggested a system where DHS provides both their analysis and the raw data. He said the agency’s current plans are “making an assumption that the public is not as informed as they think it is.”

The public still has the right to seek data through public records requests to the department. DHS also plans to distribute information monthly this summer that shows information on enrollments, claims processing and other measures of performance. That data is being collected as part of the state’s contracts with the three companies and it’s not required to be posted.

Iowa school raises $4K for Ethiopian village WEST BURLINGTON (AP) — The school year is winding down but the prospect of summer vacation did nothing to dampen fundraising efforts at West Burlington Elementary School.

Two weeks after launching Coins for Korah, students, parents and faculty raised $4,000 to send to an impoverished village in Ethiopia.

The school initially set out to raise $1,600 — a sum that would feed 40 families in the village for one month. But the school community far surpassed expectations and more than doubled their haul.

About 120,000 people live in extreme poverty in Korah, subsisting primarily from scraps of discarded food they can dig from the local trash dump. The community is comprised mostly of people with physical and mental disabilities and debilitating diseases nearly impossible to treat due to lack of medical resources. Korah is located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the nation’s capital and largest city.

Bria Mears of New London has spent the last yearandahalf living in Addis Ababa and working in Korah. The 22yearold and her mother, Toi Mears, visited Korah two years ago during a mission trip, prompting the young Mears to leave Grandview University in Des Moines and continue her mission work fulltime.

Toi Mears’ sister, Corina Shipp, a fifthgrade teacher at West Burlington Elementary School, orchestrated the fundraiser May 12.

“I’m completely overwhelmed by all the support from the parents the community and the students,” Shipp said. “They’ve really taken hold of this.”

Shipp said the majority of donations were cash and coins brought in by students and their parents.

Students embraced the challenge to raise as much money as possible, hosting garage sales and lemonade stands and completing chores around town to contribute.

“I had a kid give all $90 of his Christmas money,” Shipp said. “I

wish we could single out everyone. I’ve been here for nine years and they just come together for everything. It’s a wonderful place to work. I feel like West Burlington is special. I really, really think that.”

Amber Claypool’s firstgrade class collected the most money, $574.73, and secured the top prize — a water balloon fight on the last day of school.

“And because they did so well, we’re thinking about rewarding the top three classes,” Shipp said. “We want to reward them a lot because this was a huge accomplishment.”

Six classes at the school raised more than $200 during the fundraiser.

Not only did donations exceed expectations, but several families signed up to sponsor people in Korah through the Brook Hills Organization sponsorship program.

Yemamu Ahmed, the organization’s founder, grew up in Korah and was sponsored through a charitable organization as a child, helping him to earn a college degree.

STATE REPRESENTATIVE

As your State Representative, I want to thank the people of Jasper County for giving me the honor of serving as your legislator. We’ve done some great things - together. We’ve made clean water and the environment a priority.

We’ve created clean, “green” jobs, here in Newton that can’t be shipped overseas. We’ve made sure Iowa’s veterans are always respected, and that their sacrifices are remembered.

The last six years have seen Iowa recover from the recession. We’re leading the country in renewable energy. Our quality of life is among the best in the country.

So, there are things we should be proud of. I’m asking once again for your support, in the upcoming Democratic primary, because we aren’t done, and we don’t stop. So, I believe Iowa’s schools can once again be the best in the country. I believe every Iowan is entitled to equality under the law. I believe all Iowan’s deserve access to healthcare and mental health services. I believe working men and women in Jasper County deserve a fair and living wage.

And I believe Iowa’s comeback should belong to all of us.

I’m proud of the progressive work we’ve done. I will always work for you. I respectfully ask for your vote on June 7th.

Rep. Dan Kelley

“It’s the honor of my life to represent my hometown and the people of Jasper county, and I’m asking for your vote.” - Dan Kelley

Muscle cramps are involuntary contractions of a muscle, and they are especially disturbing when they occur in the middle of the night. They can be caused by straining or overworking a muscle, dehydration, poor blood supply to the muscle or not getting enough dietary minerals such as potassium, magnesium or calcium. To ease the pain, gently stretch the muscle or walk around a bit to relax the cramp Massaging the muscle or applying heat can also help relax it. To help prevent leg cramps, drink plenty of fluids; get adequate potassium, magnesium and calcium in your diet; gently stretch your muscles before bedtime; and loosen the sheets at the foot of your bed.

While his students continued to play, Harkness couldn’t help but smile.

“Long before radio or television or records, people would simply play music together in a circle,” he said. “There was no distinction between who was a professional musician and who was an amateur one.”

“People played simply because they wanted to,” Harkness added. “It was just something they enjoyed doing.”

Cardinals play Clippers Monday in 2A regional final

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Connor Gholson hits the baseball in an earlier game this season at home. In three road games Friday and Saturday, the Cardinals found their hitting stroke, collecting 28 hits on their way to three wins.

Hitting spurs Cardinal baseball to three wins

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WOODWARD — A threegame weekend run for Newton High’s Cardinal baseball team ended with an 8-2 win over host Woodward-Granger Saturday in the Woodward-Granger Invitational. The Cardinals were 2-0 in the event, beating Madrid 7-2.

It all started Friday night in State Center with a 5-3 win over West Marshall.

Newton had 18 hits in its first four games, all losses. The Cardinals’ bats came alive over the weekend as Newton collected 28 hits in its three-game winning streak.

Senior catcher Duncan Lee touched it off with a two-out solo home run against West Marshall.

Lee was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle Friday night. He was

3-for-3 with a base hit and double along with his homer.

“As I’ve been saying, once we start hitting the ball and finding the gaps out there, the wins will come,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said following Friday’s game. Newton had eight hits in the contest.

The hits kept coming Saturday in the Cardinals’ two games at the Woodard-Granger tournament. In the win over Madrid, they collected nine hits off Tiger pitching. The Cardinals followed it up with an 11-hit attack against the W-G Hawks.

“We’re hitting the ball and having fun. I told the guys we just needed to hit the ball, put it in play and good things would happen,” Brisel said after Saturday’s sweep in the Woodward-Granger Invitational. “Our defense was

huge again tonight. Yes, we had a couple of errors, but those don’t loom so large when you’re hitting the ball and scoring runs.”

In Saturday’s opener, junior Tyler Stanton was on the mound for his first varsity start for Newton. He didn’t disappoint as he held Madrid Tigers to two hits.

He walked four and hit two batters, but also struck out five.

After a hit batter, an error by senior third-baseman Drew Stout and a two-out RBI single led to a Tiger run in the first inning, Stanton and the Cardinals settled in defensively. They went to work at the plate in the second inning.

Junior Trey Vanderlaan singled to lead off the second inning for Newton. Stanton drew a one-out CARDINALS | 3B

Stepping onto their home field Monday, Newton High’s Cardinal girls play for the program’s first-ever state soccer tournament berth.

Monday’s game features two of the top goal scorers in Class 2A. Newton junior Ryanne Rausch leads 2A with 37 goals and is fourth overall in the state. Rausch was the 2015 Class 2A leading scorer. The Clippers’ junior Hannah Bormann has 28 goals, which puts her tied for sixth in Class 2A and tied for 13th overall in the state.

Newton is 14-4. The

Cardinals have scored 78 goals this season and given up 13 goals.

Clear Creek-Amana is 14-5. The Clippers have scored 55 goals and allowed 20 goals.

Along with Rausch, the Cardinals have seniors Taylor Moon and Victoria Jordan in double-figure scoring with 12 goals and 10 goals, respectively. Rausch leads the team with 10 assists followed by senior Hannah Rhaods and junior Taylor Shipley with eight assists each.

Behind Bormann, the Clippers have senior Ezrah Berkson with eight goals and three assists and junior Kaitlin Riggle with seven goals and seven assists. Bormann has 11 assists.

Cont In goal for Newton641-7 will be junior Ashleejsheets Freese, who has 56 saves and has allowed seven goals. Sophomore Addy Blom stepped in when Freese was sidelined with an injury. She had 42 saves this season and allowed six goals.

Junior Sarah Johnson is CCA’s top goalkeeper.

Johnson is credited with 55 saves and allowed 13 goals.

Cardinals, Hawks play in Oskaloosa Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Newton High’s softball team ran its overall record to 6-3 with a 2-1 mark in Saturday’s Oskaloosa Invitational. The Cardinals notched wins over Knoxville and Washington before losing 11-2 to Class 3A ninthranked Mount Vernon.

“Overall, it was a good weekend of softball for us,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said.

In Saturday’s tournament, Lynnville-Sully’s varsity was 1-1 to improve to 5-5 on the season. The Hawks lost, 8-4, to Class 2A fifth-ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont to open the tournament. They regrouped to tally a 13-0 victory over Cardinal of Eldon.

Earlier this season, it took

a bottom of the seventh-inning rally for Newton to defeat Knoxville. On Saturday, the Cardinals scored a run in the first inning and three more in the third inning to build a 4-0 lead. The Panthers tallied their two runs in the top of the fourth.

Newton responded with a four-run fifth inning then put the finishing touches on in the sixth. Rilee Sylcord cranked out her first varsity home run and the team’s first home run of the season. Sylcord had a tworun round-tripper to give Newton a 10-2 lead.

Peyton Maher scattered six hits through seven inning to get the pitching victory. She struck out two Knoxville batters. Newton had four errors in the game.

Maher was 3-for-4 with two singles and a double SOFTBALL | 6B

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali dies at age 74

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press He was fast of fist and foot — lip, too — a heavyweight champion who promised to shock the world and did. He floated. He stung. Mostly he thrilled, even after the punches had taken their toll and his voice barely rose above a whisper.

He was The Greatest.

Muhammad Ali died Friday at age 74, according to a spokesman for his family. He was hospitalized in the Phoenix area with respiratory problems earlier this week, and his children had flown in from around the country.

Family spokesman Bob Gunnell said Ali, who had Parkinson’s disease, died of septic shock. While it’s not clear exactly what transpired with Ali, people

with late-stage Parkinson’s often have difficulty swallowing. Food and liquid landing in the lungs can lead to pneumonia or a chest infection that could cause sepsis, a bloodstream infection.

“It’s a sad day for life, man. I loved Muhammad Ali, he was my friend. Ali will never die,” Don King, who promoted some of Ali’s biggest fights, told The Associated Press early Saturday.

“Like Martin Luther King his spirit will live on, he stood for the world.”

A funeral will be held Friday in his hometown of Louisville, Ky. The city held a memorial service Saturday.

One of Ali’s daughters described her father’s last moments in an Instagram post, saying his heart wouldn’t stop beating for 30 minutes after all of his other organs failed. Hana Ali said ALI | 3B

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEWELL — Payge Jurgens was finally pitched to, and the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior delivered a two-run double in the first inning of a Heart of Iowa Conference game with South Hamilton on Friday.

Those two runs would be all the Raiders needed to stay unbeaten as Class 3A No. 10 CMB ended the Hawks’ fourgame win streak with a 2-0 road victory.

CMB (5-0 overall, 5-0 in the HOIC) had five hits in all. Junior Megan Ritter and sophomore Katie Camp both singled in the first inning and each moved up a base on junior Abbey Kahler’s groundout and then scored on Jurgens’ drive to the outfield grass.

Ritter finished with

two hits in the win.

Freshman Hannah Caple had a hit, and Jurgens was hit by a pitch.

Eighth-grader Mikayla Houge improved to 2-0 on the season in the circle. She allowed four hits, walked one, hit one and struck out five.

Houge got out of two two-on, one-out jams.

In the third, the Hawks (4-2, 2-2) had runners on second and third with one out, but Houge got a pop up and recorded a strikeout to get out of that jam.

In the seventh, the Hawks had the same scenario, but this time, Houge induced a pop up and a ground ball.

The Raiders play at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Roland-Story.

PCM softball hands CMB first loss, wins B-F tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BONDURANT — Heart of Iowa Conference rivals Prairie City-Monroe and Class 3A No, 10 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter both won their opening games at the Bondurant-Farrar tournament on Saturday.

That put the Mustangs and Raiders up against each other in the semifinals. With so much expected to be riding on the conference meeting later this season, both teams elected not to go with their ace pitchers in the circle.

That was an advantage for PCM as Chelbie Gillespie out-dueled CMB’s Heather Jessen and Sydney Schmidt during a 12-10 victory.

PCM started the day with a 5-2 win over host Bondurant-Farrar. The Mustangs took down HOIC foe Roland-Story in the championship game, 8-1.

Jayci Vos hit a two-run home run in the win over the Lady Jays in the opener. Gilles-

pie was 2-for-4 with two runs, while Abby Waddell and Katie Vande Wall each had two hits and one run.

Kayla Jennings threw six Jennings innings, allowing no earned runs and three hits while walking three and fanning four.

The Raiders blasted previously unbeaten Webster City (4-3) 15-3 in their opener.

They scored 13 runs in the first inning. CMB defeated Earlham, 15-2, in the third-place game.

Katie Camp had three hits, Abbey Kahler and Mikayla Houge each added two hits and three RBIs and Payge Jurgens collected two hits and scored two runs. Megan Ritter, Mikayla Eslinger, Gracie Cheville and Emma Husak all scored two runs. Hannah Caple had two hits.

Kahler (4-0) earned the win

in the circle. She fanned seven and allowed three hits and one run in three innings.

PCM (5-3) and CMB (7-1) played three innings because of a time limit. CMB led 5-0 after one inning, but PCM scored 10 in the second and two in the third to win by two.

Jennings doubled twice, scored twice and drove in two runs, while Vos had two hits and three RBIs. Courtney Bridges and Jaiden Rogers each had two RBIs, and Kenzie Johnson and Anna Shaver scored two runs each.

Holly Jessen had two doubles to lead the CMB offense.

Ritter, Camp and Houge each scored two runs.

Houge also had two walks and an RBI. Jurgens walked three times.

Against Earlham (2-8), Jurgens got a few pitches to hit and finished with three hits, two runs and six RBIs. She blasted her first home run of the season.

Kahler had three hits, three RBIs, two doubles and two

runs, while Camp added two hits, two runs and two stolen bases. Houge had two hits, Ritter scored three runs and Kaitlynn Kelly crossed homeplate twice.

Houge improved to 3-0 as a pitcher. She allowed two earned runs on four hits and struck out seven.

PCM’s Jennings improved to 4-3 in the circle with a win over Roland-Story in the title game. She allowed two hits and no earned runs while striking out nine.

Vande Wall led the offense with two hits and three RBIs, while Brooke Nicholson added two hits, one run and two RBIs. Jennings had two doubles, Waddell drove in two runs and Rogers, Johnson and Madison Foster all scored twice.

PCM plays at 7 p.m. Monday at Saydel, while CMB plays at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Roland-Story.

JEWELL ­ — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team continues to put itself in a precarious position.

This time, too many errors and a heavy downpour in the sixth inning was too much to overcome.

The Raiders rallied from an early 5-0 deficit to tie the game, but South Hamilton plated eight runs in the sixth to win 13-5, handing CMB its first loss of the season.

Only two of the eight runs by the Hawks in the sixth were earned as the Raiders committed six errors in the game.

The only time rain seriously affected play was during the downpour in the eight-run bottom of the sixth inning.

CMB (4-1 overall, 4-1 in the HOIC) had eight hits in the loss. It stranded eight runners on base.

Brady Ross had two hits, one run and one RBI, while Brady Kemp had two hits and scored a run. Creighton Caple had a hit and two RBIs, while

Brad Ritter had one hit, one run and one RBI. Aric Broderick walked twice and scored a run.

Zeke Balderas went the entire seven innings on the mound for South Hamilton.

He struck out 12 and only two of the five runs were earned.

On the flip side, the Raiders used four pitchers.

Nate Bishop started but was pulled in the third after allowing four hits and four earned runs. He struck out three.

Kemp tossed another 2-plus innings and allowed three hits

COLFAX — A complete-game gem on the mound by sophomore Ja ro d Nichols helped the Colfax-Mingo baseball team win its t h i r d s t r ai g ht Owens g a m e Friday.

Nichols allowed no earned runs in seven innings, and the Tigerhawks cranked out 10 hits during a 10-1 home win over North Mahaska in South Iowa Cedar League play.

Junior Wyatt Owens led the offense with two hits and three RBIs, while sophomore Misha Seebeck finished with two hits and two runs.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News VICTOR — Wiping out a 4-0 deficit with a seven-run fifth inning Friday night, Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team was on its way to a 10-7 win over host HLV. The Hawks added three runs in the sixth and held the Warriors to two runs in the seventh. The victory boosted the Hawks to 4-1 in South Iowa Cedar League action and 5-3 overall.

Josh Dunsbergen pitched six inning for the win. He was charged with seven runs on five hits, six walks and one hit batter. He struck out two. Tyler Van Zante picked up the save, pitching the seventh with one strikeout.

Kyle Van Dyke drove in three runs in the game, hitting a single and a double.

Dylan Rozenboom connected for two doubles and Van Zante hit two singles. Hitting a single each were Ross Van Wyk, Noah Engle and

Stout delivered a two-out RBI single to left field. Junior Brennen Dodd singled to center field and Engrenbright and Stanton scored on the throw in from the outfield.

Newton added two runs in the fourth, taking advantage of two Tiger errors. Ergenbright and Dodd were on base via errors when junior Connor Gholson hit a two-out RBI single and Dodd scored on the throw in on the play.

Madrid put another run up on the scoreboard in the fifth on a walk, a passed ball and a two-out single. The Cardinals answered with a run in their half of the inning.

Sophomore Garrett Sturtz doubled two center field and ended up at third on a fielding error. Nook used a one-out ground-out to drive in Sturtz.

Carson Dunsbergen.

On Thursday in Sully, Lynnville-Sully split a non-conference doubleheader with visiting Moravia. The Hawks dropped a 7-2 decision in the opener and pulled out a 10-9 win in the nightcap.

Lynnville-Sully led 2-0 after four innings in the first game. Moravia had back-toback three-run innings in the fifth and sixth and added run in the seventh.

Kobe Fisk and Elijah Collins pitched for the Hawks.

Collins was credited with seven strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings of work. They allowed eight hits.

The Hawks were held to three hits — a single each by Van Dyke, Rozenboom and Van Zante. Van Zante scored both of the Hawks’ runs.

In the second game. Lynnville-Sully scored four runs in the first inning but Moravia tied it up by the top of the fourth inning. The Hawks regained the lead

on a four-run bottom of the fourth, and again, Moravia tied it up, scoring four runs in the fifth.

Lynnville-Sully pushed across two runs in the sixth to take a 10-8 lead. Moravia scored once in the seventh.

Rylan James, Collins and Engle shared the pitching duties with the win going to Collins. James worked four innings as the starter, allowing six runs on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts.

Van Zante went 3-for-4 with three singles and two RBIs. Rozenboom hit a double and a triple. Carson Dunsbergen doubled and drove in two runs. Van Wyk and Van Dyke each had a double and Caden Dunsbergen singled.

The Hawks host Belle Plaine for a 6 p.m. game Monday in SICL action.

“Tyler pitched a gem for us.

We backed him up with nine hits and seven runs along with solid defense,” Brisel said.

Lee threw out a runner attempting to steal second base following an error by Newton in the sixth.

Stout, Gholson and Vanderlaan each had two singles. Sturtz doubled while Dodd and Ergenbright had a single each.

Dodd was on the hill for his second varsity start when Newton played Woodward-Granger. He was able to work out of trouble in four innings on his way to his first pitching victory. In the first inning, he had two on and no one out and Dodd struck out two batters and got a fly ball to end the inning.

Newton led 2-0 after the first inning. Dodd had a one-out single followed by Lee reaching on an error. Gholson drove in a run on a double to right field and Vanderlaan was safe on an error. Courtesy runner junior Keith Steinbach scored.

The Hawks plated two runs in the third — one on an error by Dodd followed by an RBI single. The Cardinals responded with a two-out rally in the fourth.

Hawks win SICL softball game, lose to Pella

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News VICTOR — Lynnville-Sully evened up its overall softball record at 4-4 Friday with a 6-5 win on the road against HLV. The win over the Warriors gave the Hawk girls a 4-1 mark in South Iowa Cedar League play.

The Hawks came off a 4-2 loss Thursday at Pella in a makeup non-conference game to go back on the road in conference play.

Carson Fisk was the losing pitcher Thursday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks and striking out two.

Kasiah Ehresman scored both runs for the Hawks, had two singles and two stolen bases.

Brenna Lanser singled.

In Friday’s contest, the Hawks scored twice in the first inning and the Warriors put two runs on the scoreboard in the third. Lynnville-Sully got back in the lead with a threerun fourth, but just led 5-4 going into the seventh inning.

Ergenbright beat out an infield single, and Stout drilled a base hit to left field. Dodd drew a walk, and Lee delivered a bases-loaded double to drive in two runs.

Dodd got out a two-out, two-on jam in the bottom of the fourth with a ground-out.

In the fifth, Gholson, Sturtz and Vanderlaan turned a 6-43 double play for Newton. Lee threw out a baserunner attempting to steal second with Sturtz applying the tag.

The Cardinals added two more runs each in the sixth and in the seventh on their way to an 8-2 win. Dodd and the Cardinals retired the Hawks in order in the bottom of the seventh.

“Our pitchers are throwing strikes. That is what we’ve told them to do and allow their defense to work behind them,” Brisel said. “Brennen and Tyler pitched complete games for us tonight and did well.”

Dodd got the win on the mound as he allowed eight hits, walked three and struck out five. He also went 3-for-4 at the plate with three singles.

Lee hit a single and a double with two RBIs. Vanderlaan and Ergenbright each had two

base hits. Gholson doubled and Stout singled.

Newton recorded its first win of the season Friday night against West Marshall at State Center. The Cardinals led 2-0 until Trojans capitalized on two Newton errors in the bottom of the second for two runs.

The Cardinals broke the 2-all tie in the fifth. Stout drew a walk, which prompted a pitching change by West Marshall. Lee, who had the solo home run in the first, delivered a double and Gholson’s sacrifice fly drove in a run. Vanderlaan hit an RBI single.

In the sixth, Stanton reached on an error and Nook singled to right field. Ergenbright was issued a base-onballs and the Trojans changed pitchers. Stout forced in a run when he worked a walk.

The Trojans used a double, a single and a sacrifice fly to push across a run in the bottom of sixth. Sturtz notched his fourth strikeout of the game, walked the next batter then got a fly ball to center field to get out of the jam.

As the seventh inning started, it was halted by a lightening delay. The umpires called the game complete with

The Hawks plated a run in the top of the seventh and held HLV to a run in the bottom of the inning for the win. Fisk got the pitching win, going 4 1/3 innings. She allowed four runs on four hits and one walk and struck out two.

Mallory Loftus pitch 2 2/3 innings, giving up one run on two hits and striking out three.

Leading a 12-hit offensive attack was Makenzy Rozendaal with two triples and one single and three RBIs. Lanser had a single and a double.

Ehresman and Haley James each had two singles. Hitting a single each were Loftus, Jelissa Rozendaal and Kristen Van Der Wilt.

The Hawks played in Saturday’s Oskaloosa Invitational.

They host Belle Plaine in a 6 p.m. SICL game Monday in Sully. Lynnville-Sully plays a doubleheader at Newton Tuesday.

Newton winning 5-3 in six innings.

Sturtz was the winning pitcher, going the distance. He allowed four hits and walked one. The Cardinals worked around four defensive errors.

Along with Lee’s three hits, Nook had two singles for Newton. Gholson, Ergenbright and Vanderlaan had a single apiece.

“Duncan set the tone for the night with his home run in the first inning. Hitting is contagious and our kids did a good job with the bats. We had base runners and got the hits we needed,” Brisel said. “Yes, we had a couple of bumps defensively, but Garrett kept the West Marshall batters off balance all night.”

Newton (3-4) travels to Grimes Monday for a Little Hawkeye Conference game against Class 3A fifth-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes. The Cardinals are 0-1 in LHC play. The junior varsity game is at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity game’s first pitch is slated for 7:30 p.m.

Ali: Olympic champion, world boxing champion, world icon is remembered Continued from Page 1B the family was surrounding her father, hugging and kissing him, holding his hands and chanting an Islamic prayer, while his heart kept beating as his other organs gave out. “No one had even seen anything like it. A true testament to the strength of his Spirit and Will!” she wrote.

With a wit as sharp as the punches he used to “whup” opponents, Ali dominated sports for two decades before time and Parkinson’s disease, triggered by thousands of blows to the head, ravaged his magnificent body, muted his majestic voice and ended his storied career in 1981.

He won and defended the heavyweight championship in epic fights in exotic locations, spoke loudly on behalf of blacks, and famously refused to be drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War because of his Muslim beliefs.

Despite his debilitating illness, he traveled the world to rapturous receptions even after his once-bellowing voice was quieted and he was left to communicate with a wink or a weak smile.

“He was the greatest fighter of all time but his boxing career is secondary to his contribution to the world,” promoter Bob Arum told the AP early Saturday. “He’s the most transforming figure of my time certainly.”

Revered by millions world-

wide and reviled by millions more, Ali cut quite a figure, 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds in his prime. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” his cornermen exhorted, and he did just that in a way no heavyweight had ever fought before.

He fought in three different decades, finished with a record of 56-5 with 37 knockouts — 26 of those bouts promoted by Arum — and was the first man to win heavyweight titles three times.

He whipped the fearsome Sonny Liston twice, toppled the mighty George Foreman with the rope-a-dope in Zaire, and nearly fought to the death with Joe Frazier in the Philippines. Through it all, he was trailed by a colorful entourage who merely added to his growing legend.

“Rumble, young man, rumble,” cornerman Bundini Brown would yell to him.

And rumble Ali did. He fought anyone who meant anything and made millions of dollars with his lightning-quick jab. His fights were so memorable that they had names — “Rumble in the Jungle” and “Thrilla in Manila.”

But it was as much his antics — and his mouth — outside the ring that transformed the man born Cassius Clay into a household name as Muhammad Ali. “I am the greatest,” Ali thundered again and again.

Few would disagree.

Ali spurned white America

when he joined the Black Muslims and changed his name. He defied the draft at the height of the Vietnam war — “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong” — and lost 3 1/2 years from the prime of his career. He entertained world leaders, once telling Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos: “I saw your wife. You’re not as dumb as you look.”

He later embarked on a second career as a missionary for Islam.

“Boxing was my field mission, the first part of my life,” he said in 1990, adding with typical braggadocio, “I will be the greatest evangelist ever.”

Ali couldn’t fulfill that goal because Parkinson’s robbed him of his speech. It took such a toll on his body that the sight of him in his later years — trembling, his face frozen, the man who invented the Ali Shuffle now barely able to walk — shocked and saddened those who remembered him in his prime.

The quiet of Ali’s later life was in contrast to the roar of a career that had breathtaking highs along with terrible lows.

He exploded on the public scene with a series of nationally televised fights that gave the public an exciting new champion, and he entertained millions as he sparred verbally with the likes of bombastic sportscaster Howard Cosell.

Ali once calculated he had taken 29,000 punches to the head and made $57 million in his pro career, but the ef-

fect of the punches lingered long after most of the money was gone. That didn’t stop him from traveling tirelessly to promote Islam, meet with world leaders and champion legislation dubbed the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. While slowed in recent years, he still managed to make numerous appearances, including a trip to the 2012 London Olympics.

Despised by some for his outspoken beliefs and refusal to serve in the U.S. Army in the 1960s, an aging Ali became a poignant figure whose mere presence at a sporting event would draw long standing ovations.

With his hands trembling so uncontrollably that the world held its breath, he lit the Olympic torch for the 1996 Atlanta Games in a performance as riveting as some of his fights.

A few years after that, he sat mute in a committee room in Washington, his mere presence enough to persuade lawmakers to pass the boxing reform bill that bore his name.

Members of his inner circle weren’t surprised. They had long known Ali as a humanitarian who once wouldn’t think twice about getting in his car and driving hours to visit a terminally ill child. They saw him as a man who seemed to like everyone he met — even his archrival Frazier.

“I consider myself one of the luckiest guys in the world

just to call him my friend,” former business manager Gene Kilroy said. “If I was to die today and go to heaven it would be a step down. My heaven was being with Ali.” One of his biggest opponents would later become a big fan, too. On the eve of the 35th anniversary of their “Rumble in the Jungle,” Foreman paid tribute to the man who so famously stopped him in the eighth round of their 1974 heavyweight title fight, the first ever held in Africa.

“I don’t call him the best boxer of all time, but he’s the greatest human being I ever met,” Foreman said. “To this day he’s the most exciting person I ever met in my life.”

Born Cassius Marcellus Clay on Jan. 17, 1942, in Louisville, Ky, Ali began boxing at age 12 after his new bicycle was stolen and he vowed to policeman Joe Martin that he would “whup” the person who took it.

He was only 89 pounds at the time, but Martin began training him at his boxing gym, the beginning of a sixyear amateur career that ended with the light heavyweight Olympic gold medal in 1960. .For his part, Ali didn’t complain about the price he had paid in the ring.

“What I suffered physically was worth what I’ve accomplished in life,” he said in 1984. “A man who is not courageous enough to take risks will never accomplish anything in life.”

C-M baseball edges PCM in home tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo sophomore Alex Lewis raised his arms in the air when fellow sophomore Reegan Van Dyke hauled in the final out in center field Saturday during the third-place game of the Tigerhawks’ home tournament against Prairie City-Monroe.

It was excitement and relief for Lewis, whose complete-game performance on the mound played a big part in helping Colfax-Mingo take down a Mustang squad which has had its number over the past few years.

PCM dominated the Tigerhawks over the past two seasons, outscoring their former Heart of Iowa Conference rival 39-7.

The Mustangs appeared to be headed for another win over Colfax-Mingo on Saturday, but the Tigerhawks rallied from a 3-0 deficit. They scored four runs in the fifth and another in the sixth to win 5-3.

“It felt great. Everyone was making plays,” said Lewis, who allowed four hits and two earned runs in the win. “To be able to come back on a big rival like PCM feels awesome.

Everyone just played well and did their part.”

Colfax-Mingo coach Greer Milledge, who served as an assistant for his brother Seth the past two seasons at the school, said the program hadn’t won a regular season tournament game in three seasons before the comefrom-behind win over PCM. “It felt good to come from behind. I preach to the guys to never settle,” Milledge said.

“They didn’t settle at being down today. We made some errors that bit us early and we got down, but they moved on and made plays when it counted.”

The Tigerhawks and Mustangs played each other in the third-place game because both teams struggled earlier in the day.

Colfax-Mingo began the tournament with an 11-1 loss to Southeast Warren. PCM dropped an 8-2 game to Albia in the second semifinal. Albia won the tournament championship, 6-5 in eight innings, over the Warhawks.

PCM jumped out in front of Colfax-Mingo 1-0 in the second inning on an unearned run. Junior Noah

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo sophomore Alex Lewis earned a win on the mound against Prairie City-Monroe on Saturday during the C-M baseball tournament. Lewis tossed all seven innings, and the Tigerhawks finished in third place after the 5-3 win over the Mustangs.

Clark reached on an error, went to third on another error and scored on a wild pitch.

The Mustangs plated two more in the fourth. Senior Clay Cooper was hit by a pitch to begin the inning. He swiped second and third base being for scoring on Clark’s RBI single.

Senior Tyler Foster singled to continue the threat. Both Clark and Foster moved up a base on a wild pitch, and Clark scored on sacrifice fly to center by freshman Brayton Van Dyke.

Lewis limited the damage with back-to-back strikeouts.

He used his off-speed pitches effectively all day, keeping the Mustangs off balance at the plate.

“My change up drops well, and we called it a lot on second strikes,” Lewis said. “It worked for me today.”

PCM freshman Preston Van Wyk had a solid start on the mound, too. He breezed through the Tigerhawk lineup for four innings, allowing three hits and striking out seven in his four-plus innings.

The trouble came in the fifth. Senior Gabe Simpson laid down a bunt and beat out a close play at first to start the

threat. He stole second and then took third on a sac bunt by junior Jimmy Camp.

Junior Adam Teed walked and took second on a fielder’s indifference. Sophomore Misha Seebeck made it 3-2 with a two-run single. Senior Jacob Buehrer reached on an error allowing Seebeck to score.

The Tigerhawks took the lead when Buehrer scored on a wild pitch.

“Putting the ball in play was effective,” Lewis said. “We just needed to make them make plays, and we took advantage of some of their mistakes.”

Colfax-Mingo (5-3) added an insurance run in the sixth. Lewis walked and scored when another bunt by Simpson forced a PCM throwing error.

Lewis had one more inning to get through. He faced the top of the Mustangs’ order in the seventh He finished off the win after a ground out to eighth-grader Brady Berkey at shortstop and two fly outs to Van Dyke in center field.

The top three hitters for PCM — juniors Sheldon Speers and Braden Phifer and senior Austin Brown — went 0-for-12 in the game.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Noah Henkenius, left, tags out an Albia base runner at second base during the Colfax-Mingo baseball tournament on Saturday. The Mustangs lost 8-2 to the Blue Demons and then were defeated 5-3 by Colfax-Mingo in the third-place game.

Softball Continued from Page 1B and Audrey Lucas hit a single and a double. Sydney Jenkins doubled. Hitting a single each were Taylor Ryan, Emily Valtman, Kennedy Leiker, Kari Adams and Fran Lucas.

Anna Coyle notched a pitching win for Newton against Washington. Coyle held the Demons to five hits and had five strikeouts in a 5-2 Cardinal victory in the second game of the day. Newton had one error defensively.

The Cardinals scored three runs in the third. Adams drew a walk and stole second base.

With one gone, Jenkins singled followed by a two-run triple by Karley Leiker. Maher drove in Leiker on a sacrifice.

It was 3-2 when Newton added single runs in the fifth and sixth innings for the final margin.

Jenkins had a single and a double to lead Newton’s offense. Karley Leiker tripled followed by Ryan and Slycord each with a double. Maher and Audrey Lucas each had a single.

The Cardinals scored two runs in the first inning against ninth-ranked Mount Vernon.

The Mustangs didn’t give up any more runs while taking the lead on four runs in the second. They added two runs

in the third, three in fourth and two more in the sixth.

Ryan and Karley Leiker each pitched three innings for Newton. They allowed 11 hits.

Maher collected two singles. Valtman doubled. Karley Leiker and Slycord each had a single.

Lynnville-Sully matched Class 2A fifth-ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont in the first inning, each team scoring once. The Rockets zoomed off from there for a 8-4 win, out hitting the Hawks 12 to seven.

Pitching for the Hawks were Carson Fisk, Mallory Loftus and McKinley Conover. Fisk went three innings, giving up eight runs on nine

“When I saw that they had their top of the order coming up, I thought we were in for a shootout of a seventh inning,” Milledge said. “They have some good hitters from what I have seen. I was nervous, but Alex went out and finished it.”

The Tigerhawks had five hits in the game. Seebeck had one hit, one run and two RBIs, while junior Wyatt Owens walked once and was hit once.

Lewis had one hit and one walk.

The Mustangs stranded six runners on base against Lewis.

They had two on with two outs in the sixth but couldn’t score.

“A lot of his offspeed was working. That’s what he used to strike them out,” Milledge said about Lewis. “All I ask of him is to throw strikes, and he did that. He hit his spots and took advantage of the low strike zone that was being called.”

Colfax-Mingo defeated PCM without three starters.

Sophomore Jonathan Jacobs is unavailable until the end of June.

Freshman Zarek Hill did not play against the Mustangs because he was ejected in the opener against Southeast Warren. He’ll miss Monday’s game against Sigourney, too.

Sophomore Jarod Nichols was injured on a close play at first base in the second inning against the Warhawks. He won a race to first base for an infield hit, but he partially tore his hamstring in the process.

Milledge said he is expected to miss four to six weeks.

“I hope it’s closer to the four week side, but I don’t want to press it,” Milledge said. “He plays other sports, and he’s only a sophomore. It hurts.

He was throwing it well, and he has been huge at the plate for us, too. We needed him to fill in for (Jacobs), but now we’ll need some others to step up. We’ll have to deal with it.”

The Tigerhawks scored first in their 11-1, six-inning loss to Southeast Warren (5-3).

Camp and Teed were both hit by pitches to start the game.

Camp scored later on an RBI ground out by Buehrer.

That is all they would muster offensively as the Tigerhawks had just four hits against Southeast Warren starter Bryce Hall. They stranded seven runners on base. Defensively, C-M was plagued by six errors. The pitchers walked seven and hit another.

“The six errors killed us.

That’s hurt us in some other games this year,” Milledge said. “We hit the ball, but we have to get more timely hits.”

Teed took the loss on the mound for C-M. He allowed nine runs — three earned — on six hits and walked three in four-plus innings.

The Mustangs had seven hits against Albia’s Cobi Thomas. They stranded 10 runners on base and managed just two runs in the sixth inning.

PCM (4-5) had the bases loaded with one in the fourth and did not score.

It also had runners on second and third with two outs in the seventh but came away empty.

Van Wyk had two hits at the plate. Foster singled, was hit by a pitch and scored a run. Van Dyke had a hit and an RBI. Eighth-grader Derek Brown started on the mound and took the loss after allowing three earned runs on three hits in one-plus innings. Derek Brown, sophomore Brady Fagen and Foster combined to walk 11 Albia batters.

C-M hosts Sigourney at 6 p.m. Monday. PCM plays at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Saydel.

hits and had three strikeouts.

Kristen Van Der Wilt hit a three-run home run in the fourth for Lynnville-Sully. Jelissa Rozendaal had a double and Kasiah Ehresman hit two singles. Hitting a single each were Loftus, Brenna Lanser, Shelby Foster and Haley James.

It only took five innings for the Hawks to win their second game, a 13-0 decision over Cardinal of Eldon. Lynnville-Sully had 13 hits in the game.

Fisk threw a one-hitter and struck out three. She had two base hits and 3 RBIs. Van Der Wilt delivered a single, double and triple in three trips to the plate. Loftus

singled and doubled and Ehresman hit two singles. Jelissa Rozendaal, Conover, Makenzy Rozendaal and Lanser each had a single.
