Schuster to be new principal at Woodrow Wilson; other personnel moves approved

With 18 years of experience within the Newton Community School District and a strong recommendation from Superintendent Bob Callaghan and staff members from Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, Todd Schuster was unanimously selected to become the next principal of the school by the board of education on Monday night.

two other finalists for the job. Berg Middle School vice principal George Panosh and Stephanie Langstraat, vice principal of Prairie City-Monroe Middle School, were the other finalists.

Schuster is replacing Nancy Van Wyk, who is stepping down after four years at Woodrow.

“Let me tell you about our process.

Eight candidates were chosen to interview in front of an eight-team interview committee — five of those committee members represented the Woodrow Wilson staff,” Callaghan said.

“Our candidate scored as a top choice from all five staff members.

“Then, each committee member decided on three finalists, and all three finalists were a unanimous choice coming out of the committee. I spent three hours interviewing each of these finalists, and, in addition, I took several hours and talked at length with each candidates’ references.”

A very jubilant Schuster spoke to the board just after his hiring was made official.

Less than a month ago, Newton Community School District Technology Director Chris Beighler presented the board of education with the district’s comprehensive tech plan, and he indicated on Monday he was ready to move forward with some of those plans.

The board approved holding a public hearing at 6:45 p.m. during the Monday, June 23, meeting. Beighler indicated the district wanted to purchase desktop computers, iPads and Chromebooks for various buildings.

labs, but with the amount of dollars we have, we are only going to be able to do two.”

When Beighler previously presented the tech plan to the board, BMS was still deciding which direction it wanted to go with technology. At this meeting, Beighler gave the board a clearer indication of what that building wanted to do with technology.

“At the middle school, we are going to purchase four Chromebook labs —quantity of 30 (per lab),” Beighler said. “We are trying to get that going in terms of more devices at the middle school level.”

At Thomas Jefferson and Berg elementary schools, Beighler said they want to get 30 iPads for each school.

“We are going to do a bid for 90 desktop computers,” Beighler said.

Beighler said those computers would be used to replace computer labs at three schools in the district. Thirty of those would go to Aurora Heights Elementary School to replace its current lab setup, and Beighler added the computers in that lab are among the oldest in the district.

Computer labs at Newton Senior High School and Berg Middle School would also be replaced with the remaining 60 desktops.

“Those are the three bigger purchases, we have some Chromebook labs that are going to be purchased for Woodrow Wilson,” Beighler said. “That’s two labs of 30 and we’re slowly trying to catch up with the table we put in the technology plan. I think we wanted to try to do three

On The Z-Train

My Stars Just recently I found out one of my favorite teachers, from my days of being sweet and innocent, has officially retired.

I was told that the teacher didn’t want her retirement to be known by the public on a grand scale. However, I couldn’t bear the idea of not taking some time to thank this teacher, not only for what she did for me as a student but for reminding me that I am never too old for a hug.

In a time, when many people felt my stars were already in place, you were one of the first who taught me that I can change my stars. Even after I left your classroom, you always made sure to check up on me when

By Zach Johnson you saw me. Outside of Staff Writer my family, you were a big part in teaching me how to dream. If it wasn’t for you I would probably have given up a long time ago.

I want to thank you for what you did for me in the classroom and in life. You taught me that there was no fault in my stars but rather that I could place my own stars to become the man I am today.

Remember, whether you’re an alum or a current student, tell a teacher that they have made in impact in your life — they love it.

Well enough of this on to my column for the week.

On Thursday, I decided to watch the first viewing of the movie “The Fault In Our Stars.” I had previously read the book after a recommendation from a female friend. I absolutely loved this movie! It wasn’t your typical cliché young adult novel-to-movie adaptation, and it paid its respects to the book by remaining true to it, while giving an idea of what would happen if this story unfolded in a real world scenario.

I was infuriated, however, by the reviews the movie received, as I found many reviewers picking and pawning at the movie looking for its faults. The big one was how a few reviewers wrote Ansel Elgort, who played Angustus “Gus” Waters, was out of his league in this role and seemed to be trying too hard. Elgort was an amazing Gus. He had the attitude of the character from in the book and, in my mind, gave a certain reality to the role, which didn’t take away from the character but brought out the personality of Gus more and made the romantic chemistry between him and Hazel stronger.

The part that I love about this movie is that, although the romantic chemistry in the movie has many catalysts, in the end it creates a love story that leave women saying, “I hope there’s someone out there that can love me like that.”

It’s a love story that makes me laugh as well because, to most guys, the romantic side of Gus would be seen as uncool because we’re supposed to be the leaders. This makes me laugh, as many of the guys I have known and told that they will one day have to be that romantic character are now getting into relationships. At least once a week I will get a Facebook message saying, “How did you know this was going to happen?”

In the end, as I look ahead at the week, I know I will encounter some of my greatest stories with the chance of a nightmare in between, but through it all, it’s a good life.

Usual Eccentric

A deluxe apartment in the sky Christine sat nervously on the couch as a look of concern washed over her face. Finally, a question rolled off her lips. She wanted to know if I wanted a free Kitty Castle for our cats.

While she had me at the word “free,” no sweeter words in combination of one another have ever been said by Christine than Kitty and Castle, By Will E. Sanders Creators Syndicate including the words “I do.”

Did I want a Kitty Castle? Of course I did!

Cats outnumber humans by a 2 to 1 ratio at my household. That means if they had even a modicum of intelligence or interest in tactical martial arts, and maybe a few opposable thumbs, it would have been Murderville for the both of us some time ago.

I try to keep my four cats happy. At night I relegate them into the so-called Cat Room, which is actually two rooms consisting of the laundry room and the entryway to the deck. I use to buy them nice things, but now I know better. Want a cat to destroy some item like a cat toy? Put catnip inside of it. My cats open up such toys like they are performing an autopsy, and afterward the communal disembowelment usually gets underway.

The most lavish thing I ever poured money into for my cats was this bungalow-like structure

that consisted of a series of very comfortable hanging cat hammocks. The durable plastic structure now stands as a grotesque skeleton of the item it once was.

Toward the end, the cats started vomiting on the hammocks.

This was confusing (why would you vomit on your own bed?) and interesting — the mesh hammocks only served to strain the partially digested cat food and created two separate messes.

Comfort is a serious concern to me as a pet owner. Sleeping on the cold metal of a washer or dryer seems uncomfortable, and it should because I tried it once in college. But before you go accusing me as some inhumane cat owner, I want to remind you my cats have two rooms to themselves at night.

If you have a child, I am venturing to guess you didn’t give him or her two rooms.

Here lately I have been constructing makeshift play and rest areas for my cats out of cardboard boxes and lining them with cozy towels (that they can regurgitate their food upon). It suits my kitty conscious just knowing they are as pleased as humanly possible.

Do I want a Kitty Castle? Darn tooting I do!

As I came to learn, Christine’s friend, Kassandra, was looking to get rid of the aforementioned Kitty Castle. Some lady gave it to her and now she wanted to return the favor. For all I knew this Kitty Castle was cursed, but I wouldn’t have cared even if it was.

What is a Kitty Castle? Do you mean aside from sheer bliss? It’s the only thing that has ever paci-

fied my ferocious pride of felines.

Constructed of wood and carpet, it stands 4 feet in the air and has four different levels consisting of platforms and tubes. It lives up to its billing. It is indeed a castle for kitties.

When we revealed the structure to the cats their collective reaction was contrary to what I thought it would be, which was simply ignoring it. Instead, what I witnessed was glorious. The cats stormed the castle walls and quickly began relishing in their newfound spoils of war.

Flea jumped to the tip-top and began eating food that had mysteriously survived the trip.

Mugato climbed the back of the structure like a squirrel, nestled into the third level platform and rolled around like a seal. The most expeditious of the crew, Thumper, carved out his own personal playground in a carpeted tube as he batted his claws at imaginary foes. Lucy perched herself on the ground level, stoically eyeballing a pouch of muffin mix in the pantry.

Last week they were all sleeping in cardboard boxes like hobo kitties.

This week they are lounging around in a Kitty Castle.

My cats are moving on up, to the eastside.

To a deluxe castle in the sky.

Letter to the Editor

Put concept teaching back in school curriculum To the editor: The U.S. middle class is shrinking and has been for decades. A recent New York Times survey showed Canada surpassing the U.S. with higher middle class incomes, and Europe’s poor earn more than the U.S. poor. These countries also out rank the U.S. in student achievement. According to several surveys (Georgetown University being one of them), over one million middle class jobs (not requiring a four-year degree) are unfilled because applicants lack the skills.

When U.S. public schools made the decision to drop concept-based education (used for thousands of years and still used to out-educate us today), an assessment after a few years showed it was not working, but U.S. public schools did something the rest of the world has not done: they blamed students for making them look bad.

Using a methodology similar to the VA system of hidden lists, public schools labeled students not achieving well and stopped counting their test scores in the calculation of average, cheating to make it appear schools were doing a good job. Pointing fingers at poor, defenseless, students through profiling and stereotyping amounts to

psychological and emotional child abuse, which continues to this day as the excuse for 82 percent of public school students in this country being behind grade level.

When No Child Left Behind was enacted in 2001, states had to choose a starting point of proficiency and then work their way up to grade level at the 65th NPR. Iowa’s director of education, Judy Jeffrey, wanted to use the 25th NPR as Iowa’s starting point (indicating she had an idea of what the picture would be like when all test scores had to be counted); the feds wanted to use the 65th NPR (since Iowa was supposed to be a good education state), and they negotiated to the 41th NPR (where Iowa sits today, in the bottom one-third of the country). Iowa has so far been unable to rise above the 41st NPR because it has been too slow to even recognize the need to put concepts back into the curriculum and train teachers to teach concepts (since the teacher training programs — still graded “D” by the National Council for Teacher Quality — fail to do this), and the reason this has failed to occur faster is because of the systemic child abuse of blame.

Contact school board members to stop the systemic child abuse and focus on teaching concepts.

Culver’s Car Show

Submitted Photo The Culver’s of Newton weekly car show begins at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Approximately 35 to 40 cars participate each week. The event is free event, and all are invited.

Schuster Continued from Page 1A “I’m just very, very excited about this opportunity,” Schuster said. “I’ve been in the district the last 18 years, and I just like the vision that we’re going in, and I just love this community and this school district.”

Schuster’s selection wasn’t the only big personnel news delivered at Monday’s meeting.

Basics and Beyond Principal/District Human Resources Associate Director Laura Selover revealed all of the district’s staff movements, with the exception of the certified position reductions, and the hiring of eight new teachers.

“Openings for the (20142015) school year have occurred, due to retirements or resignations, and as an administrative team, we’ve worked together — through the budget reduction process,

as you guys are aware of — to determine what needs to be filled, what didn’t need to filled and that sort of thing,” Selover said.

“As you look at the list, we have a total of 18 internal movements around the buildings for next school year. So we were able to fill a lot of positions within, and we were able to make some moves that they were excited to do.”

Selover said the district still has three open teaching positions to fill; first- and third-grade teachers for Berg Elementary and a special education position for Basics.

One of the district’s moves involving Berg Middle School continues to be a hotbutton issue.

At the May 28 board meeting, BMS instructor Deb Rose questioned the district’s decision to transfer LMC (Library) Director Brenda Hodnett from BMS to a split LMC position at Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wil-

School Continued from Page 1A “We’re trying to meet the needs of what the building principals identified and they wanted more classroom sets — so, four or five per room. So, I think right now, there are two to a room and this will allow us to sprinkle in and try to get some more devices this summer,”

son elementary schools.

The move was brought up again Monday, as several board members questioned Selover and Callaghan about it.

“I’m concerned that we are moving a position out of the middle school and into the elementary school for a media specialist,” board member Bill Perrenoud said.

Perrenoud said his concern stemmed from the fact that the district couldn’t find a suitable outside LMC director for the elementary schools and what impact this decision would have on students at the middle school.

“It’s been very difficult, and that’s a shortage area,” Selover said about finding LMC directors.

Chuck Lyons served as a long-term sub for both Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow this year; however, he is not certified for the position.

Selover added that finding people who are certified for this position was a statewide

In other business: • Superintendent Bob Callaghan said the land the district is negotiating to lease to AT&T, for a new cell phone tower, is free of any legal caveats or holds.

• Callaghan received approval for a two-percent raise starting next year, which was the same amount the district’s other administrators received

in the Walmart parking lot, where Saltzman had backed out of a parking space and collided with a vehicle driven by owned by 76-year-old Harry L. Farr of Newton.

issue, and the Iowa Board of Education Examiners had confirmed this.

“You’ve got 450 kids at Thomas Jefferson and approximately 325 or so kids at Woodrow Wilson that have not had the benefits of a certified LMC position, and they actually teach classes in those elementary spots, whereas at the middle school, you still have your teachers that go into the LMC,” Selover said.

After several Thomas Jefferson teachers in attendance complemented Lyons’ performance this year, board member Robyn Friedman asked if the district had considered hiring Lyons if he would become certified. Selover said Lyons had no interest in going for his certification in that field, and several teachers in the audience expressed that it was “dying field.”

The district had posted the LMC opening at the elementary level for more than a year, and Callaghan

said there wasn’t a single applicant. He also spoke very highly of Hodnett and expressed that she could be more efficiently utilized at the elementary level.

“I wish that somebody would drop an LMC director down from heaven and that we could place them into our building. But I can just tell you, I’ve listened to the conversations between the principals and Ms. Selover.

Rock, hard place,” Callaghan said. “We have an exceptional teacher that we know can meet kids’ needs. It comes down what as a district do we want to do. We have 750 children who are not receiving highly qualified instruction on a weekly basis.”

FAMILY CIRCUS

People with hearing loss can find support online DEAR ABBY: As the executive director of the Hearing Loss Association of America, may I suggest that “Mortified at the Dinner Table” (March 2), who wrote about her in-laws’ poor hearing even with hearing aids, connect with one of our 200-plus local HLAA chapters at www.hearingloss.org? These member-led groups offer emotional support, camaraderie, communication strategies and techniques for living with hearing loss, both for people who have hearing loss as well as their families and friends. Most chapters also share information about assistive listening devices that link via a telecoil found in most modern hearing aids that could greatly enhance her in-laws’ hearing around the dinner table.

“Mortified” might also want to accompany her in-laws to a hearing aid evaluation visit at an audiologist’s office to learn more about their particular hearing difficulties. There is more to correcting hearing loss than buying hearing aids. Some users benefit from assistive listening devices or from listening training that can be done at home with a personal computer.

By joining HLAA, “Mortified” can receive Hearing Loss Magazine and get the latest information about hearing loss and how to live well with it. — ANNA GILMORE HALL DEAR MS. HALL: Thank you for your letter and the information you generously provided. Any reader with hearing loss should check out the HLAA website for a more detailed description of the services it provides. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Many people who wear hearing aids find noisy environments problematic. As people age, their ability to understand can be difficult even with hearing aids. As a practicing audiologist, I recommend the following to my patients to help make communication easier.

(1) Test hearing annually so hearing aids can be reprogrammed to current hearing levels if necessary.

(2) Follow up with the audiologist for regular hearing aid maintenance and care.

(3) In restaurants, ask to be seated away from high noise level areas; preferential seating may help.

(4) Reserve confidential discussions for another time and location, which would make them easier for people with hearing loss to understand. — AUDIOLOGIST IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ABBY: My 91-year-old mother is hard of hearing. I take her out to dinner once a week.

I don’t worry about what people around us are thinking. It doesn’t matter what she wants to talk about. I’m just glad she’s able to get out and converse with others. The conversations at tables near us are sometimes so obnoxious that I’m GLAD my mother can’t hear them.

People are normally very courteous about helping me with her, and many have told me they wished their parents were still alive and able to have dinner with them. — JUDY IN ARIZONA DEAR ABBY: Your advice to “Mortified” was certainly not taking into account the other diners’ feelings that this writer was so admirably describing! Everyone around that table paid for — and deserves — to have a pleasant dining experience too. This includes not being subjected to others’ cellphone conversations, unruly children or excessively loud conversations regardless of their content.

Secretary comments on weekly crop report

Farmers’ Market back in action

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

It doesn’t matter if you call it the Newton Farmers’ Market or the Jasper County Farmers’ Market. The fact of the matter is that it is back, and with it the opportunity for citizens to purchase quality goods directly from the source.

The Farmers’ Market will be held in the Centre for Arts & Artists parking lot, located at 501 W. Third St. N. in Newton, lot every Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. from now until the last week of September.

Diane Martinson, the market’s manager, is hoping for one thing this year.

“Seventy-eight degrees and sunshine, perfect weather,” Diane said before a laugh.

Much like with farmers themselves, Mother Nature can wreak havoc on a business that’s based outdoors and is dependent on clear skies and nice temperatures.

“It’s been several years ago, but I think one year out of the first nine weeks it rained, six Tuesdays,” Diane said. “The people at work would look out the window and go, ‘Oh, it’s raining. It must be Tuesday.’”

Hopes for perfect weather aside, Diane is excited for the 2014 season of the Farmers’ Market. She said they have a new vendor this year that makes skin care products out of goat’s milk. She also indicated a number of the market’s usual vendors are returning and provided a list: • Linda Birkenholtz and Gwen Churchill will be selling homemade baked goods.

• Once the corn crop comes in, John Brandhof will be selling sweet corn and other assorted fruits and vegetables.

• Cameron Keller will be selling Artisan breads.

• Linda Miller will have baked goods and craft items for sale.

• Deana Rafferty-Cook is the aforementioned provider of goat’s milk products, and she

also will be selling vegan soaps.

• Lance and Jana Shrycock will be selling produce, plants and baked goods.

• The Smokin’ Mississippi Queen Bar-B-Que owners Steve and Maggie Wilcox will be there along with their newer venture, Sweet Willy’s Kettle Corn.

• Nancy Woody, owner of Nancy’s Jams and Jellies, will be providing her usual assortment of uniquely flavored homemade jams and jellies as well as crotched towels.

• Chuoa Yang and Bla Ying Yang will each man booths containing assorted fruits and vegetables.

• Diane shared what she felt were the benefits of shopping at a farmers’ market and why it’s a sensible choice.

“You’re looking right in the eye of the person that makes those products, or they grow it and you’re looking right at them,” Diane said. “How’s that saying go: ‘Know your food, know your farmer.’”

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the weekly Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Unfortunately the strong storms that rolled through Southeast Iowa caused some crop and property damage. Otherwise much of the state is in good shape with planting mostly completed and farmers now focused on scouting fields, spraying and in-season fertilizer applications,” Northey said.

The report summary follows here: In spite of rains during the week, corn and soybean progress remained ahead of normal in Iowa for the week ending June 8, 2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 4.0 days suitable for fieldwork. Farmers in southwest Iowa were concerned about damage caused by the June 3rd storm. Other activities for the week included spraying, herbicide application, and field side dressing.

Recent precipitation increased soil moisture levels. Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 10 percent short, 79 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 5 percent very short, 22 percent short, 68 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Southwest and south central Iowa were the wettest with over 30 percent of topsoil in surplus condition.

Ninety-eight percent of the corn acreage has emerged, 18 percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the five year average. Corn condition rated 1 percent very poor, 2 percent poor, 15 percent fair, 64 percent good, and 18 percent excellent.

With soybean planting nearing completion, 87 percent of the crop has emerged, 3 weeks in front of last year and just over a week ahead of normal. The season’s first soybean condition rating came in at 1 percent very poor, 2 percent poor, 16 percent fair, 64 percent good, and 17 percent excellent. Twenty-four percent of the oat crop has headed, ahead of last year’s 14 percent but behind average by 7 percentage points. Oat condition rated 0 percent very poor, 1 percent poor, 32 percent fair, 55 percent good, and 12 percent excellent.

The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 42 percent complete, 33 percentage points ahead of the previous year but 9 points less than average. Hay condition was rated 0 percent very poor, 3 percent poor, 26 percent fair, 53 percent good, and 18 percent excellent. Pasture condition rated 1 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 48 percent good and 16 percent excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as average.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Evan Shimon goes after a pitch at a home game last week. Shimon went 3-for-4 in the Cardinals’ road win at Knoxville Monday night. Newton defeated Knoxville, 6-4, to run its Little Hawkeye Conference mark to 3-1.

Cardinals outlast Panthers in LHC contest

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor KNOXVILLE — Two misplayed ground balls and a walk issued by Jordan Travis had Newton’s Cardinals in a precarious spot in Monday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game against host Knoxville. They faced a two-out, bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the seventh, leading by two runs.

Travis faced Knoxville’s Calyn Bumgardner. On a 3-2 pitch, Travis struck out Bumgardner, earning the save as the Cardinals escaped with a 6-4 decision over the Panthers.

Derek Wrage notched the win as the Cardinal starter. Wrage pitched

two innings, allowed two runs on two hits. Wrage also hit two singles and his ground-out in the seventh inning drove in a run.

Senior catcher Evan Shimon was strong behind the plate and at the plate for the Cardinals. Shimon went 3-for-4 with two base hits and a double and drove in a run. Shimon had a pivotal defensive play in the sixth inning.

The Panthers had plated two runs to cut the Cardinals’ lead to 5-4. D.J. Snyder represented the tying run at first and there was only one out. Shimon threw out Snyder attempting to steal second then Michael Barr got Jared McClung to popup to Mike

McCormick at second.

Shimon led off the top of the seventh with a double and McCormick reached on a dropped third strike with one gone. Connor Gholson, who was the courtesy runner for Shimon, ended up at third on the play.

Wrage’s ground-out produced a run.

The Cardinals had a four-run first inning with an RBI triple by Barr and an RBI single by Shimon. A Knoxville error allowed two runs to score.

Knoxville scored two runs in its half of the first.

Newton loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth and came away with one run. The Cardinals had a 5-2 lead.

Tyler Wood pitched two innings of scoreless baseball for Newton, walking two and striking out two. Barr pitched the fifth and sixth innings, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks. Travis issued a walk and had a strikeout in his seventh-inning duty on the mound.

Barr connected for a triple and a single. Hitting a single each were McCormick, Travis, Wood and Chandler Sturtz.

Newton improved to 4-4 on the season and 3-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals are at Dallas Center-Grimes in a LHC doubleheader Wednesday, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Big innings maintain perfect record for PCM

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLLINS — Prairie City-Monroe’s two big innings overpowered CollinsMaxwell/Baxter’s five consistent innings Monday night.

PCM earned its eighth straight victory and remained undefeated by doing all of its damage early in a 10-5 defeat of CMB. The Mustangs wiped out a 1-0, firstinning deficit by scoring five runs in the second and then repeating the feat in the next inning.

PCM knocked out seven singles in their two-inning outburst and benefitted from two walks and a CMB error. Four hitters drove in runs for PCM, led by freshman Katie VandeWall, whose second-inning, three-run home run gave her team a 5-1 advantage.

“Once one person starts going, we all kind of get going,” VandeWall said. “We

do it as a team and it’s really, really fun to be around.”

VandeWall finished the game with a team-high and personal season-high three hits. Her four RBIs more than doubled her season total from three to seven.

“I thought she did great. We just take turns and girls get great hits,” PCM head coach Whitney Plein said. “Katie was seeing the ball well and hit really well.”

Outside of those two innings, CMB out-played the Mustangs, but was never able to recover and cut into PCM’s lead.

CMB had base runners in every inning and, excluding the second and third innings, had six hits to PCM’s three.

Cardinal girls falter at Knoxville

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News In her windup is Newton senior pitcher Ashton Hoffman in a recent home game. Hoffman pitched a complete game Monday as the Cardinals dropped a 12-7 decision at Knoxville.

KNOXVILLE — Hitting is not the problem right now for Newton’s softball team. The Cardinals had 10 hits Monday night against Knoxville’s Panthers.

One inning on defense per game has hampered the Cardinals in the young season.

Knoxville was up 3-1 going into its half of the second inning Monday. The host team produced six runs on four hits, a hit batter, a fielder’s choice that no out was recorded on and a Cardinal error. The Panthers had scored their first three runs in the first inning on a home run by Shaye Nichols.

Newton battled at the plate but couldn’t overcome that one inning, losing 12-7.

“The girls are hitting the ball well,” Newton head coach Ashley Ryan said.

“We just keep having that one inning where we give up five or more runs. We put the defense and bats together and don’t give up a big inning and it’s a ballgame.”

Looking up at a 9-1 deficit, the Cardinals scored four runs in the second. Kari Adams and Ashton Hoffman cranked out

two-run home runs for Newton. Bailey Davis was aboard when Adams connected and Sydney Jenkins was on base with two gone when Hoffman unloaded.

Newton staged a two-out rally in the fourth, down 10-5. Lizzie Stocked doubled and scored on a single by Adams.

Jenkins’ base hit brought in Adams.

The Cardinals weren’t able to score any more runs. Knoxville added two runs in the fifth for the final margin.

Hoffman was the losing pitcher, giving up 10 hits, walking three and hitting two batters. She had a 3-for-4 night at the plate with a single and a double to go with the home run.

Adams had a single and a home run and Jenkins hit a single and a double. Davis hit two singles. Stock doubled.

Newton dropped to 2-6 overall and 1-3 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Hawk softball clubs Bears, baseball spoils lead in loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor NORTH ENGLISH — Lynnville-Sully’s girls overpowered their hosts, the English Valleys Bears, 16-0 in five innings Monday night.

The Lynnville-Sully boys dropped a heartbreaker on the baseball diamond against the Bears, 6-5.

The Hawk baseball team was up 5-1 when the Bears struck in the late innings. English Valleys manufactured the tying three runs in the fifth inning. The Bears pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the seventh.

“We did not have our best game of

the year, but part of that was due to Brennam Grimms’ pitching for the Bears and some good defensive plays by the Bears to end a rally,” LynnvilleSully head baseball coach Bob Scandridge said.

“We had a few too many errors and walks that led to four unearned runs and that was the difference in the game. We will use this game as a learning experience and continue to improve.”

Jake Brand went the distance on the mound for the Hawks. He gave up three hits, walked five and struck out five.

T.J. Cunningham had a two-run double. Daniel Zimmerman hit a solo

home run. The other hit for Lynnville-Sully is a single by Sage Ehresman.

On the softball field, the Hawks rolled past the Bears with two runs in the first, five in the second and four in the third to build a commanding lead.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls produced five more runs in the fifth and retired the Bears for a run-rule victory.

Madison Rasmusson delivered a two-hit shutout for her 10th win of the season. She walked one and struck out six.

The Hawks’ 16-hit attack was led

by Kasiah Ehresman, who was 3-for3, with three singles. Brenna Lanser and Kristal Beyer each had a single

“I told [our players], I said we won five of the seven innings. The problem is our other two innings weren’t good innings,” CMB head coach Troy Houge said. “We didn’t play well for two innings and that was the difference in the game.”

Junior Racheal Freland and improved defensive play as the game progressed also factored into PCM’s victory. Freland pitched a complete game and tied her season high with six strikeouts en route to her fourth win of the year.

The left-hander got into a bit of trouble in the fifth as CMB’s Payge Jurgens and Abby Applegate started the inning with a single and a double. After a sacrifice fly from Mikayla Eslinger

trimmed PCM’s lead to 10-5, Mustang second baseman Abby Waddell turned an impressive unassisted double play to end the inning.

Waddell, a freshman making her third varsity start, single-handedly put an end to CMB’s threat after she committed an error in the second inning and failed to control a ground ball in the fourth that would’ve resulted in the third out.

“She was probably nervous, but she stepped up right there,” Plein said of Waddell’s play in the fifth. “That’s good for her. I’m proud of her.”

The five runs CMB scored were the most PCM has allowed so far this season, but the Mustangs’ own offense more than made up for it.

Senior Krystal Pendroy finished 1-for-3 with three RBIs and Abbi Gilson and Jayci Vos both extended their hitting streaks to eight games.

“When girls come up to the plate, they get hits and do what they need to do,” Plein said. “It just happened to click for us in the first two innings.”

and a double and Jade Van Rees hit two singles.

Shelby Davis connected for a triple.

Rachel VanWyk and Kristin VanderWilt each had a double. Hitting a single apiece were Rasmusson, Becca Vos, Shaylin Lukehart and Lysandra James.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls (10-1) are now 7-0 in South Iowa Cedar League play. They play at Newton in a nonconference doubleheader tonight, starting at 6 p.m.

The Hawk boys are 5-3 overall and are 3-3 in league action. Lynnville-Sully’s boys and girls play at home against H-L-V in SICL games Wednesday.

PCM baseball wins in extras

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLLINS — An extra-inning surge pushed Prairie City-Monroe past Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Monday night.

The Mustangs scored five runs in the eighth inning and then held the Raiders scoreless in the bottom half for a 8-3 victory.

PCM sophomore Clay Cooper provided three of his team’s four RBIs as he went 3-for-5 at the plate with a double. Junior Ron Marshall had PCM’s other RBI. PCM also benefitted from four CMB errors.

The Mustangs scored all eight of their runs after trailing 3-0 at the start of the fifth inning.

Mustang Junior Chase Keuning picked up the win on the mound. He pitched into the eighth, his longest outing of the year, and struck out a seasonhigh three batters.

It was PCM’s first extra-inning game of the year.

Olympic star Van Dyken severs spine in accident SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Six-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Amy Van Dyken severed her spine in an all-terrain vehicle accident over the weekend, and told emergency workers she could not move her toes or feel anything touching her legs.

The 41-year-old swimmer, who goes by her married name Amy Van Dyken Rouen, was injured Friday.

She was airlifted to a hospital and had surgery to stabilize her spine.

Hospital spokeswoman Alice Giedraitis didn’t provide details Monday on Rouen’s injuries. She said the swimmer was in good condition Monday afternoon.

A letter from the Van Dyken and Rouen families said she severed her spinal cord at the T11 vertebrae and that the broken vertebrae came within millimeters of rupturing her aorta.

A report by the Show Low Police Department said the ATV that Rouen was driving hit a curb in a restaurant parking lot and sent her over a drop-

off of between 5 and 7 feet.

Rouen was found lying on the ground next to the ATV. She was strapped to a backboard and airlifted to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center.

A witness said he saw Rouen launch over the curb and found her unresponsive when he arrived on the

scene, the report said. Rouen was not wearing a helmet at the time.

Her husband, former Denver Broncos punter Tom Rouen, told police officers he had changed the throttle mechanism on the ATV from a thumb accelerator to a twist accelerator a few days before the accident, though wasn’t sure if it was a factor in

the accident.

He said his wife had not been drinking alcohol that evening.

Rouen starred at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, where she became the first U.S. female athlete to win four gold medals in a single games. She captured the 50-meter freestyle and 100 butterfly and also competed on the winning relay teams in the 400 free and 400 medley.

Four years later at Sydney, she added two more golds in the 400 free and 400 medley relays before retiring from competition.

In 2003, she was among numerous prominent athletes who testified before a grand jury investigating the BALCO doping scandal. Rouen never tested positive for performanceenhancing drugs during her career.

“The USA Swimming family is devastated to learn of Amy Van Dyken’s unfortunate accident this weekend,” the organization said in a statement. “We’re happy to hear that she escaped and is now in great care...”

Luellen brothers double up at Marshalltown Speedway Special to Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Celebrating 50 years of racing at Marshalltown Speedway this season, the drivers continue to give fans great racing action on the dirt track each week.

Last Friday night along with the regular program, Traxxas Torc Off Road Series driver Cam Reimers from Ogden put on an expedition for the fans.

Austin Luellen captured the win in the IMCA hobby stock feature. He was followed into victory lane by his brother, Clint Luellen, who won the 18-lap IMCA Northern SportMods feature.

In the hobby stock race, Austin Luellen worked his way to the lead

by Lap 3. Four laps later he got a good restart following a caution and cruised to victory. Garrett Eilander came across in second place followed

by John Watson, Dustin Elliott and Eric Larson. Rookie Andy Hick went into a spin in front of the field in Turn 2 on the opening lap of the race for the first caution of the race.

Clint Luellen got into a battle for the lead with Jenae Gustin who had the lead from Lap 4 to Lap 8, following a caution flag on Lap 11 in the Northern SportMods. Luellen edged past Gustin to take lead on Lap 13 and take win three at Motown. Gustin, Andy Tiernan, Brett Lowry and Taylor Musselman round out the top

five.

Adam Gates grabbed the lead in the second lap of the IMCA sport compact feature and took the checkered flag. David Moorman ran second in the eight-lap race. Aaron Miller in third and Gill in fourth.

In the mod lites 15-lap feature, Jimmy May got to the lead on the third lap and never gave it up. May saw his son, Josh May, experience troubles on Lap 5, forcing the caution to come out. May did not let that get to him. The final race caution came out on Lap 12 when Charlie and Terry Brown make contact in Turn 2 that ended Charlie’s night. Jimmy May went on to take the win over Andy Hennigar, Terry Brown, Tim Hennigar and Dusty Masolini.

The first three laps of the IMCA stock car 18-lap feature saw three different leaders — Dave Atcher, Robbie Merkle and Michael Jaennette.

Jaennette led until the caution came out on the fifth lap, when Jeff Wollam and Paul Shepherd spun in Turn 2.

On the restart, Jaennette experienced issues forcing him to the infield on Lap 7, when Donavon Smith took over the lead. Smith pulled away until he caught lap traffic which allowed Trent Murphy to chase him down on lap 11. Smith was able to get a great restart on the final restart on the next lap to take the win. Murphy came home second, Justin Temeyer finished third, Steve Meyer was fourth and Atcher was fifth.

Adam Larson claimed his second consecutive win in Marshalltown’s IMCA modifieds 20-lap feature race.

Larson got to the front of the field on Lap 13, when front-running Jon Snyder experienced mechanical problems and pulled off the track. Ronn Lauritzen found his way to second.

Richie Gustin, Racer Hulin and Kyle Brown rounded out the top five.

This Friday is Karl Performance Night at the races. Hot Laps at 6:45 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m.

AUTOMOTIVE

When Galileo suggested that Earth is not the center of the universe, he angered the powers that be and spent the rest of his days under house arrest. Great truths, when first introduced, are usually controversial.

But denying them only sets everyone back. The Scorpio moon applauds the courageous and honest stand.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 10). Your solar year begins with a rite of passage. In July, you’ll be honored for what you contribute to your household and community.

August brings stellar juju for your personal life. It starts with a change you want to make and ends with a new circle of supporters. A project will be completed in November.

Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 22, 35, 49 and 18.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People confuse terms, but you will set them straight. For instance, being responsible means you are accountable, not that you are do-

ing it all by yourself. Get all the help you need!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel a brotherhood or sisterhood with people you are not related to, and that is a good sign for the planet.

Human compassion is one of the most precious commodities on this big blue marble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Some say success comes from rising early; others insist it happens from staying up past midnight.

You have your own thoughts about scheduling, and as long as you abide by your own beliefs, you’ll succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Don’t forget about the element of madness that should be factored into every human equation. When you mix in the madness, whatever didn’t make sense suddenly starts to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Be easy to talk to.

Be careful about the small gestures that happen when you’re very busy or preoccupied and

that might make someone afraid to be honest with you in the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Should you be more remote? Should you be more familiar?

The answer is: both. A relationship develops in interesting ways when you spend a good deal of time apart ... and then together ... and then apart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may decide what is important or unimportant to you, but it is not possible to dictate this to another person. As you try to honor what others think is important, you will build bonds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s fine to let down your guard.

There’s no benefit to being overly serious.

Also, it’s fine to talk about the trivialities of life. Just try not to state them repeatedly to the same person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). What at first seemed impossible now seems inevitable. That

speaks to your personal will. Apply your focus and energy over time, and it’s all doable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll play the politics of today’s situation well. As the Jewish proverb goes, “Make sure to be in with your equals if you’re going to fall out with your superiors.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Families change with the times. You’ll see evidence of this today and hopefully interpret the events as positive movement because that is truly what they are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s no shame in not getting the object of your desire. It simply means you didn’t desire it enough or you haven’t yet put in the work. If you want it enough, and you keep working on it, eventually you will have it.
