On Thursday, foreign exchange student Jason Wu left the comfort of his new home, Newton, to return to his familiar home in Taiwan. He spent the last few weeks reminiscing about his year, saying his goodbyes to friends and new-found family, and he even had time to hit a double at Tuesday’s baseball game against Southeast Polk.

Jason spent the last year as a sophomore at Newton Senior High School and is an active 16-year-old who enjoys getting good grades, hanging out with his friends and participating in extra-curriculars.

He is from Taichung, Taiwan, and came to Newton because of the sister-city relationship built through Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors (OPEN), which helped him with tuition, transportation and housing.

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer The Newton Public Library’s adult summer reading program’s popularity has always paled in comparison to the library’s children’s summer reading program, and NPL Public Services Librarian Nicole Lindstrom is determined to help close that gap a bit this year.

This year’s theme is “Literacy Elements,” and Lindstrom said the program caters to what patrons want.

“The adult summer reading program at Newton Public Library is an evolving program. Each year it is vastly different from the last. Why? Because we are listening to what our adult patrons want to see and come to.

If there are adults out there that want to see other programs, let us know,” Lindstrom said.

Lindstrom’s goal of growing this program has helped her create fun and unique programing — that is free — to cater to various interest levels. There’s “Chick Flick & Lit” and “Coffee & Movie” events. A ton of craft events, including one where you repurpose old wine bottles, and even a create-your-own-journal day. Recently, NPL hosted John Liepa, a baseball historian and collector of baseball memorabilia.

“This year we have a lot of crafts (all free), movies, speakers and a few authors visiting,” Lindstrom said. “In July, we will have a coin collector who will present his collection and speak on the history of some of the coins.

We will also have weekly giveaways at the information desk in the library.

“Each week adults have the opportunity to enter and can win a prize. To enter, registrants may be asked to answer a question about a book, author or may just ask for a reading recommendation.”

A total list of events is available at www.newton.lib.ia.us.

Despite a plentiful offering of programs and services, Lindstrom indicated a number of adults say they are too busy to read books, which hurts how many participants she receives.

As a fellow young professional, she offered up a few tips on how people can achieve the three-book minimum the program requires from adults.

“I would recommend downloading e-books and audiobooks to our mobile devices — phones, tablets, eReaders and laptop — as it enables us to read on-the-go. You can read a few pages at the doctor’s office, or listen to a few pages each day to and from work,” Lindstrom said.

“If anyone is interested in downloading e-books and audiobooks to their devices, they simply need to stop into the library information desk and pick up instructions or ask for a demonstration. We do live busy lives.

However, if you are trying to persuade your children to read 15 minutes a night for their reading program, we can use that same amount of time to read.”

According to the American Cancer Society, cancer accounts for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths in the U.S., however, in Iowa alone, there have been 142,870 cancer survivors as of Jan. 1, 2014.

Many will gather tonight at this year’s Jasper County Relay For Life to join the community it its efforts to help raise funds for cancer research and most importantly, honor those who have battled cancer.

The annual event will take place from 6 to 11 p.m. at H.A. Lynn Stadium and will include fun for the whole family.

There will be a pulled pork barbecue from Fareway, a pie toss, a dunk tank and performances by Mat Tumbling and the charming barbershop quartet Cul-De-Sac. After sunset, there will be a traditional luminaria ceremony, names will be read and bag pipes will be played. This part of the event starts at 9:30 p.m.

This year’s Relay theme is Super Heroes Fighting for a Cure and organizers have arranged for super heros to come out to the stadium to take pictures. They will be available from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and Walgreens will have a photo tent on site to pick up your picture.

Each year, teams organize prior to the event in order to raise money for Relay and then rally together the night of the event to walk in honor. Some have been involved in the event for many years and others are new teams this year.

“There are 23 wonderful teams that have been fundraising for the past few months and are very excited for this year’s event and theme of Super Heroes Fighting for a Cure.

Teams vary in sizes and come from all walks of life,” Jasper County Relay for Life CoChair Debby Pence said.

Roxann Wormley is also co-chair and has been involved since the event started 17 years ago.

Highlights from the event schedule include: 6 p.m., invocation, national anthem, flag raising, local super hero lap with Newton Police and Fire Departments and survivors walk; 6:30 p.m., barbecue with a suggested donation of $5; 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Locks of Love donations from E-Clips; 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., dunk tank with Jeff Price, Bill Peters, Todd Schuster, Nathan Unsworth, Ty Rushing and Scott Bauer; 7:30 p.m., Peppy RELAY See Page 5A

Newton City Council to consider stop signs in Belmont Subdivision

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer The Newton City Council will have the second consideration on an ordinance to install additional stop signs inside the Belmont Park Subdivision during its regular meeting at 6 p.m. Monday in the Newton City Hall Council Chambers.

The additional stop signs are to create a safer environment within the subdivision.

The first consideration was approved unanimously by the council.

The council also will consider a resolution to transfer $35,000 from City Hall Improvement Funds to the Capitol Fund. In the 2013-14 fiscal year budget, $35,000 was implemented into the City Center budget.

The money is alloted for improvements to city hall cosmetically. The projects are in the planning process, but will not be started until after the FY 13-14.

Also on the agenda for Monday is a presentation on downtown historic preservation as well as a discussion of advancing technology and a nuisance issue — blowing glass in the street.

Branderhorst receives Iowa 4-H scholarship Breanna Rae Branderhorst of Prairie City received the $3,500 Mahr Family Ag & Life Sciences 4-H Scholarship Sunday, June 8, at the Scheman Building on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames.

Branderhorst has been vital in her leadership role in the Agvocacy Day Training, completing two years of the program. The Agvocacy Day Training is a social media based training for high school and college aged students to prepare to advocate for agriculture using their

personal social media sites.

Each year over 300 high school students have attended the training with many students starting their own blogs and social media pages.

Branderhorst is a senior at Iowa State University studying Agricultural Education.

The Iowa 4-H Foundation awarded 71 college scholarships this year valued at $65,750. Fiftyone of those scholarships were presented last Sunday. The 51 scholarship recipients were 4-H’ers

Correction To clarify information in Monday’s edition, in the story about the Hy-Vee Market Café, the Hy-Vee salad bar will not be eliminated. The salad bar will remain, with salads available for purchase by the plate. Also, the Hy-Vee corporation’s other restaurant model, which will not be used in Newton, was identified incorrectly. It is called the HyVee Market Grille. The Daily News regrets the confusion and error.

Usual Eccentric

On ‘consent of the governed’ and other frauds

By Kevin Carson A couple of recent news items demonstrate once again — if such a demonstration is necessary — that “consent of the governed” as a source of legitimacy for representative democracy is absurd and impossible.

In North Carolina, governor Pat McRory signed the Energy Modernization Act, which includes a provision criminalizing (reduced in the final version, due to public outcry, from a felony to a misdemeanor) to publicly disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”).

Meanwhile, the Obama administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to contest an interpretation of the Whistleblower Protection Act that protects government employees who leak information to the public.

If the North Carolina legislation sounds familiar, it should. It follows on the heels of legislation in other states that turns the filming of animal abuse and other unethical practices in the agribusiness industry into a criminal offense. You may also remember that BP, after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, refused to disclose the composition of dispersal agents it was dumping in the Gulf by the ton on ”proprietary information” grounds.

Now, first of all the very concept of “proprietary information” is nonsense. And it’s nonsense many times over when a company can use it as legal cover to pump tons of potentially toxic chemicals into the ocean or into bedrock that may (make that “will”) leach into our groundwater, without telling us what they’re doing. Not only should it not be a crime to reveal such information, but in a free society local residents could — and should — demand immediate disclosure of the chemicals that energy companies were pumping into their air and water in a civil discovery process, shutting them down forthwith if they failed to comply.

The Obama Justice Department’s position should also sound familiar. Obama has a worse record of persecuting whistleblowers and passiveaggressive sabotage of Freedom of Information requests than George W. Bush, if such a thing is imaginable. Obama’s government also sentenced Chelsea Manning to thirty years in Leavenworth for revealing to the American people the war crimes and diplomatic skullduggery “our” government engages in, and is hounding Edward Snowden to the ends of the earth for similar revelations about illegal NSA surveillance.

An important concept in organization theory, in considering the power relationship between a principal and agent, is “moral hazard.” The less information the principal has about the actions of the agent, the more room there is for moral hazard — that is, for the agent to take advantage of the principal’s limited information and promote her own interests under cover of serving the principal. The less the principal knows about what the agent is doing, the less meaningful her actual status as principal becomes.

This moral hazard is a problem in all principalagent relationships, and becomes more severe as the principal’s knowledge of the agent’s day-to-day activities is diminished. The result, in all ostensibly representative institutions, is what Robert Michels called the Iron Law of Oligarchy: The tendency for power to shift upward from the delegator to the delegate, from the principal to the agent, and from the elector to the representative. No matter who the acting leadership of an institution ostensibly represents — voters, shareholders, whatever — their superior access to inside information and control over the agenda will effectively nullify any real control by those on the outside they claim to represent.

And of course when the “agent” has the authority to decide what the “principal” is or is not allowed to know about the agent’s activities, and punish the agent’s subordinates for leaking information to the principal, the claim that the agent derives her authority from the principal becomes a complete and utter farce.

These recent news items demonstrate this in spades. As Marja Erwin argued, in response to claims that Chelsea Manning was a “traitor” for divulging government secrets to the public the government allegedly answers to, “consent requires equality. As long as the government keeps secrets from the governed and has power over the governed, it does not have consent, and does not have legitimacy” (“The persecution of Breanna Manning and the incoherence of American Centrist ideology,” April 25, 2012).

Short of a direct democracy in which all decisions are made directly by the governed themselves, it’s impossible to conceive of a government or other representative institution that couldn’t control the information available to those it “represents.” And the ultimate in direct democracy is a stateless society without hierarchical institutions, in which all decisions are made by individuals or by voluntary associations of those affected by the decision.

Planet Earth’s inevitable swan song There are two ticking time bombs floating around out there in space and traveling at breakneck speeds. They are called Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 and at night I lie awake in bed too afraid to close my eyes because of their mere existence.

Commissioned in 1977, Voyagers 1 and 2 were sent into space by NASA with the optimistic hopes that they would be discovered by an By Will E. Sanders Creators Syndicate unidentified alien life form. Contained on each space probe is a gold record that, essentially, would reveal a slice of our life on this planet when played.

For all intents and purposes the records should be titled the Cliff Notes on Planet Earth.

Never mind the fact that a 1970s era record is an atrocious first impression to make with someone — or something. What I really worry about is how those records could quite literally endanger all of humanity in the near or distant future if they fall into the wrong, three-fingered hands How does it endanger us all?

Each record contains enough cursory information about the human race and our planet to allow an alien intelligence to create an invasion playbook to either enslave or kill us all.

For all we know aliens exist, but you know what? Maybe, just maybe, they don’t know that we

do. Perhaps they have no clue about us. Good, I’d very much like to keep it that way. We are like the mouse under the bookcase. It is nice here, comfortable even. We don’t need to announce our attendance, lest we jeopardize our own existence and tempt our extinction.

Can you imagine if it actually works? Did any of those pencilpushing eggheads at NASA ever consider that possibility?

Let’s say aliens end up finding it. Aliens are going to take one look at that record the same way anyone under 40 years old would. They are going to have no idea what it is, does, or was ever used for. An alien is going to think, “What is this thing? Maybe I should eat it?” I like to think that an alien race that has figured out the mysterious intricacies of space travel, starship mechanics and navigating galaxies won’t have any idea what a crude piece of antiquated “technology” like a record is.

Even if they do, I doubt aliens will just so happen to have a record player on board.

God forbid aliens find the records and figure out our encoded missives.

It doesn’t take an alien rocket scientist to quickly deduce from the records that our civilization is sorely unprepared for an alien invasion. If aliens exist and are exploring the universe, we can deduce it isn’t just because they want a scenic view of the everexpanding universe.

In all likelihood, the aliens will be in search of something.

And Earth offers an awful lot of cool things aliens might want,

like gold, for instance. I imagine that, if ever found, aliens are going to inspect this strange material the records are made out of.

They are going to say, “Hey, this metal looks precious. Says here it’s called gold. We don’t have this mesmerizing metal on our planet.

You know what? I bet if we went there, to this Earth place, they would have more of this stuff.”

Each gold record is a treasure map of the Milky Way galaxy.

The records are also inscribed with a greeting from President Jimmy Carter. That’s also a horrible idea. When the aliens come to invade us they will inevitably assume Jimmy Carter is the president of Earth. Why not? His name is on the gold records. So they will want to speak to Jimmy about all of this, which is terrible for us because we all know how well Carter can negotiate, don’t we?

And for those of you who think I am joking around here, I’m being dead serious. This is a real concern for me and President Obama needs to get involved instead of worrying around about ObamaCare and releasing terrorists.

I certainly hope that I am incorrect. But I’m afraid that if those records fall into the wrong hands then humanity has played its final tune.

Fat preference versus real acceptance

By Laura Finley, Ph.D. The risk with any kind of binary-thinking is that there is no real room for difference. You are one or the other. The U.S. loves its binaries: black or white, man or woman, gay or straight. Such thinking misses the complexities of people, limiting us all into narrow boxes. Perhaps nowhere is binary-thinking more obvious today than in what has been called the “fat acceptance movement.”

Building on decades of legitimate concern about body image and the ways that women and girls are constantly taught that they are too heavy, the fat acceptance movement has promoted a swing of the pendulum that is equally dangerous. Websites like Upworthy and Huffington Post repeatedly feature pictures and videos of women who are exerting their right to have more ample bodies. Ad nauseam, such sites reveal photo-shopped women and their real, less toned, bodies, mothers of four who wear with pride their sagginess, or heavier women wearing bikinis to show that it is OK. These images and articles are then re-posted on Facebook, tweeted across the universe, and otherwise slammed in our faces.

Of course it is OK to wear what you want despite your size! But that’s not the point, or at least it shouldn’t be. The goal of this fat acceptance movement, at least purportedly, is acceptance. To show that it should not be our bodies that determine our character. Yet too often these images and the dia-

logue that surrounds them say exactly that: that it is indeed your body that matters most, and if you happen to be thin you are simply not accepted. Being skinny and fit is equated with some deep flaw. You try too hard. You are too body conscious. You are weak and thus manipulated by the beauty industry.

Blah, blah, blah.

Take, for instance, the conversation surrounding Miss Indiana’s body in the 2014 Miss USA Pageant. Miss Indiana, MeKayla Diehl, who was widely praised for being “more curvy” than the other pageant contestants. She was described as having a “realistic body,” which resulted in a full-on explosion of the Twitter universe, as women denounced the 5’8”, size 4 Diehl as far from average, which they claim is 5’3” and a size 12. Enter the name-calling of skinny people, “twigs,” “toothpicks,” or “bag of bones.”

And the divide continues, focusing on her body, on our bodies, and not on what we say or do. The discussion about whether Diehl is “normal” or “average” or whether a mother is healthier because she accepts her post-baby weight or works hard to lose it prevents us from moving to a place where we truly do not care, nor judge people, based on their height, weight or dress size.

We can do better.

Wu Continued from Page 1A When he was 3 years old, Jason began learning English, and with the influence of teachers from North American, he has developed a great interest in the English language.

“To come to the U.S. was always my dream,” he said.

“I want to thank all OPEN members for this opportunity to study abroad and who support me so I can study here without worry.”

Last fall, Jason said he enjoyed his experience participating in drama, and he described having a large role in the fall play as “a really great experience,” although he admitted to getting a little nervous at the start.

“You wear big pants, but your legs shake inside,” he joked.

This spring, he joined the track and field team, and recently he joined the baseball team, which he described as a highly skilled sport.

“It’s kind of difficult because I didn’t really play back home, just in a club. I really have fun, but my skills aren’t

that good. Everybody’s really good,” Jason said.

Whether in a Taiwan or U.S. high school, peers are very important and influential. Jason felt his friends were of great support and friendly. He noticed people his age in Iowa act a little different and look a little different than they do at home.

They act independent and look like adults, although they’re 16.

“I learned how to organize myself and how to do things from them,” Jason said. “The way they act, the way they talk, how they put their effort in school — I’m really impressed.”

Jason met a lot of people and became friends with many while he was at Newton Senior High School.

Brenner Van Sickle met Jason in their history class and soon found something they had in common.

“I came into class one day and saw him watching Formula 1 videos, and so we started talking about that and other forms of racing, which is really what started our friendship,” Brenner said.

Honza Vitek was a foreign exchange student from

Czech Republic this year, and he bonded with Jason too.

“I like that Jason is that type of person you can talk about everything with. He’s not afraid of getting to know people and new things, and he’s a really good friend,” Honza said.

Jason said his favorite part of his experience at Newton Senior High School was Friday night football at H.A. Lynn Stadium — the students, the crowd, the band.

“I started watching football this year because we don’t have that back home.

I went to every home game.

We always cheer for our team and have fun,” he said.

“The next day you can’t even talk because the night before you’ve been shouting. Everybody knows Saturday nobody’s going to talk.”

Newton football wasn’t the only football experience Jason experienced. OPEN board member Jason Price and his wife, Amanda, took Jason to a staple Iowa event last fall, an Iowa Hawkeyes football game at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.

The three went to the Iowa and Northern Illinois

tasting — which is another new recommendation. Participants have to receive a pass to attend, and passes are granted after they turn in a log confirming they have met the threebook minium.

“If I can get a few new faces into the library and to our programs, I will consider all my planning and promoting for the program a suc-

game, which happened to be one of the hottest games in history at Kinnick, but that didn’t stop Jason from having a great time. He had fun at his first tailgating experience with the Price’s, playing bags and grilling food. They also toured Carver-Hawkeye Arena while in the area.

“I could tell Jason really enjoyed the entire day, and you could tell he was soaking it all in,” Price said about Jason’s first experience seeing 70,000 people cheer on one team.

With the support of OPEN and his new-found friends, Jason also has a great support system after school.

He spent the fall semester living with Bob and Pam McCormick and the spring semester with Mark and Judy Monroe, all of whom live in Newton, and said they were all wonderful, friendly and kind people.

In fact, Jason said his favorite part of his trip were his monthly meetings with his great host families and OPEN. “I really had fun with them. I really enjoyed those days,” he said.

“Jason is a very respect-

cess,” Lindstrom said. “I hope that these readers will also continue to visit during the year and ask for more varied programs throughout the year.

“I want to remind the community that the library is not just books or a place for kids to have fun in the summer. It is a place for learning, fun, discovery, technology, discuss-

Iowa police academy official fired Quinn formerly served as Newton police chief IOWA CITY (AP) — The embattled assistant director of the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy has been fired, weeks before he was set to retire following a 48-year career in law enforcement, the academy director said Wednesday.

Director Arlen Ciechanowski told The Associated Press he dismissed Michael Quinn — a former Newton police chief — on Tuesday. Ciechanowski said the reason is confidential.

Quinn announced in April that he would retire June 30 following months of criticism for inappropriate sexual and threatening remarks to female students and colleagues.

But on May 30, Gov. Terry Branstad signed the state budget, which contained a provision that changed Quinn’s job from a merit-protected

position to an at-will employee who could be fired for any reason without appeal rights.

Democratic Sen. Rob Hogg of Cedar Rapids said the goal of the change was to make it easier for the Branstad administration to fire Quinn, 71, who had been at the academy since 2000, if they chose to do so.

“In my view, based on the reports of what Mr. Quinn did, he should have been terminated long ago,” Hogg said. “But it’s good news that he’s been terminated because sexual harassment and workplace threats are not acceptable in state government and shouldn’t be acceptable in any employment situation.”

The academy, based at Camp Dodge in Johnston, trains and certifies law enforcement officers, jailers and dispatchers.

A 2012 Department of Administrative Services investigation found that Quinn asked female

recruits taking a sex abuse investigation class whether “penis size matters,” talked about his sex life in front of them and told colleagues that he “got my nuts cut and have them on ice” after he underwent a vasectomy. He also warned instructor Nancy Brady, who sparked the investigation with a complaint about remarks that students found offensive, that he would “slit your throat” if she spent too much time talking with another worker.

Ciechanowski gave Quinn a written warning that did not affect his $91,000 annual salary but put him on notice that any additional harassment, intimidation or unprofessional behavior would result in dismissal. Quinn was removed from his longtime position as the academy’s Violence Against Women Act coordinator only after the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, which manages the federal grant, learned about his behavior months later.

ful nice young man who has developed an excellent sense of humor. He is good speaker with an audience,” Pam said.

“He has a love for the game of baseball, and he hit a double today. That was a wonderful sight to see.”

“He is the kind of guy that would always say hi to me in the hallways at school, always has a good attitude and was fun to hangout with,” Michaela Bleeker said, whose favorite memories with Jason were watching football with him in the stands at home games and when a group of people went to see “Frozen” at the drive-in, she said.

Jason said his time here went by in a blink and he would like to come back to attend college or at least visit. He hopes to study sports journalism in college.

Like anyone who leaves a place they love for another, he had mixed feelings of both excitement and sadness.

“I will miss this place — great memories, great experience, great people.”

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Friday, June 13, 2014

Dad is eager to do everything right for his baby daughter DEAR ABBY: I’m a married father with a son 19 months old, and a baby girl on the way. While I couldn’t be more excited about my daughter’s impending arrival, I’m unsure about whether there is a right time to stop doing things like changing a diaper or seeing my daughter unclothed because she’s a girl and I’m not.

I come from a conservative family, but because this is a new experience for me, I’m not sure how to go about it. I know this dynamic changes when these roles are occupied by a mother and her son, and that a little boy is probably older by the time the transition occurs. I don’t want to end up in a position where my wife or daughter regrets my involvement in some aspects of my daughter’s life. Any thoughts? — EXPECTANT DAD IN NEW YORK DEAR EXPECTANT DAD: Fathers have become far more involved in child-rearing in recent years than they were in generations past, and it’s a wonderful thing. You should not be worried that changing your daughter’s diapers or giving her a bath will scar her emotionally. In fact, the opposite is true. Discuss this with your wife and your daughter’s pediatrician, and I’m sure they will allay your fears.

As to when you should stop seeing your daughter unclothed, you have years before that may become necessary. As she becomes aware of her changing body, she will probably let you know, or her mother will. This is a cultural thing. Some families practice a naturist lifestyle without anyone being “damaged” by it.

DEAR ABBY: I have been working as a desk clerk at a motel in Mon-

tana for several years. With travel season here, I was hoping you could help your readers who find themselves on the road to avoid sleepless nights and headaches.

Several times a year many of the accommodations on the interstate can be fully booked due to weather or local events, and travelers are sometimes forced to drive several hundred miles to find a room for the night. You can help your readers by reminding them that they should start checking on motel occupancy early in the day, or even the day before, if they know where they would like to stop for the night. That way, situations like this can be avoided, and they will have a more enjoyable and relaxing trip. — ON THE ROAD AGAIN DEAR ON THE ROAD: Thank you for the suggestion. Many of my readers take road trips during the summer months, and I hope they’ll remember your letter before they start the ignition and head for the highways.

Cardinal soccer players earn LHC honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Newton’s Cardinal soccer teams each racked up four wins in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The NHS teams both finished with winning overall records for the 2014 season.

Recently, the Little Hawkeye Conference coaches named the 2014 All-LHC soccer teams. Nine Newton girls received honors and six Newton boys earned conference recognition.

Senior forward Amber Karsten led the Newton girls with 21 goals, which was third in the LHC and 10th in Class 2A. Karsten, junior sweeper Michaela Jacobsen and sophomore midfielder Victoria Jordan were named to the All-Little Hawkeye Conference first team. Karsten also had six assists. Jordan scored nine goals and made seven assists. Jacobsen even had a goal for the Cardinals.

Karsten and Jacobson also earned Class 2A Central District second-team honors.

Newton’s girls finished 13-4 overall, losing to 10th ranked Pella in a 1-0 storm-shortened regional semifinal game. The Cardinal girls ended the season ranked 13th in Class 2A. They were 4-2 in LHC play.

Karsten recorded the hat trick — scoring three goals in a game — in three different games this season. Against Oskaloosa on May 13, the Cardinals won 3-1 on her three goals. Jordan had a hat trick in Newton’s 5-1 win over Perry on May 2.

Earning second-team honors were senior goalkeeper Emily Forsyth, sophomores Hannah Rhoads and Alex Hutchinson and freshman Ryanne Rausch. Juniors Macy Leonard and Anna Barr garnered league honorable mention.

Forsyth finished her fourth straight season in goal for the Cardinals with 82 saves. She allowed 13 goals. Rausch, a forward, was second on the team in scoring with 11 goals and 11 assists. Rhoads, a midfelder, scored three goals and made eight assists. Hutchinson, a defender, had one assist.

Barr, a midfielder, found the net twice for the Newton girls and dished out five assists on goals. Leonard, a stopper, scored a goal.

Four Newton boys landed on the All-Little Hawkeye Conference second team. Senior midfielder Chandler Sturtz and junior midfielder Mike McCormick along with freshman forward Josh Ventling and freshman defender Jordan Norvell.

Ventling led the Cardinals with 14 goals, which put him tied for 10th in Class 2A, and he had three assists. McCormick topped the team in assists with 13, tying for fifth in that category in Class 2A. McCormick scored four times.

Sturtz, who earned the team’s MVP award, scored six times and had two assists. Ventling was named the team’s rookie of the year.

Senior Nathan Moorman, who scored three goals against Prairie City-Monroe on May 8, earned honorable mention. Moorman was second on the team in scoring with 10 goals and had two assists. Sophomore Dalton Nevels garnered honorable mention.

Newton’s boys finished 4-3 in the conference and 10-8 overall. They scored 38 goals, allowed 29 goals and recorded six shutouts.

Other team awards were Nevels for the most improved player; best offensive players were Moorman and Ventling; best defensive players were Norvell and senior Colton Hansen; Will To Win athletes were Sturtz and McCormick.

Free passes costly for Cardinals in one-run loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor STORY CITY — Coaches always stress there’s no defense against walks or hit batters.

That point was proven Thursday night, costing Newton’s Cardinals in a 4-3 decision. The Cardinals tied the game, 3-3, with Roland-Story’s Norsemen with a run in the top of the sixth.

With one out in Roland-Story’s half of the sixth, Michael Barr struggled with his control from the mound.

The Norsemen used a walk to produce their third run of the game in the fifth. So did Newton in the sixth inning.

With two gone, Derek Wrage worked a base-on-balls and Jake Bennett took over on the base paths. A base hit by Stanton moved Bennett to third base and he scored on a double

Barr was 3-for-4 on the night with two singles and a double. Tish and Travis each connected for a single and a double. Hitting a single each were Sturtz, Shimon, Stanton and Wrage.

Newton takes a 4-7 mark into tonight’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at home against Grinnell. The Cardinals are 3-3 in conference play.

First pitch is 7:30 p.m. at Woodland Park.

MAT team competes in AAU state meet WATERLOO — Members of the MAT Tumbling/Trampoline Team competed in the 2014 Iowa State AAU Tumbling and Trampoline Championships recently in Waterloo. Most of the team’s members claimed a gold medal in at least one event.

“This was a good tune up meet to get our athletes to prepare for upcoming larger events,” said MAT trampoline coach Jess Bookhout.

MAT head coach Ron Brooks said although the AAU is a smaller organization for tumbling and trampoline, it is still a great opportunity for the athletes to compete and prepare for the USTA Nationals in June. Those who competed at this tournament will move on to compete at the National AAU Junior Olympics, which is July 23-27 in Des Moines.

“This was also a fun meet for our team and a chance for them to mix it up a little and enjoy seeing their hard work payoff,” Brooks added.

Spurs take 3-1 Finals lead over Heat MIAMI (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs have three more chances to grab the championship trophy that slipped away last year.

The way they’re dominating the Miami Heat, they might need just one.

Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs routed the Heat again, winning 10786 on Thursday night to open a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

The Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship with a victory at home in Game 5 on Sunday and avenge their seven-game loss to Miami last year. And if the Heat are going to deny them again, it will take the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.

“I’m pleased that they performed as well as they did while we’ve been in Miami, and that’s about as far as it goes,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

“Now we’ve got to go back home and play as well or better.”

LeBron James tried to keep the Heat in it with 28 points and eight rebounds, but Dwyane Wade was just 1 of 10 through three quarters and finished with 10 points.

No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, and the way they were outclassed twice on their home floor makes it hard to imagine the two-time

champions being the first.

“This was probably the biggest surprise of the series,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Tony Parker added 19 points, and Tim Duncan had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who shot 57 percent from the field.

The Spurs lost twice in Miami to end last year’s finals, their only defeat in the championship round.

They won their two games in South Florida this time by a combined 40 points.

If this was the last home game of the season in Miami, it looked and sounded nothing like the ones to end the last two years, which featured confetti falling and trophies raised. This one had the unfamiliar sound of boos late in the first half and a chant of “Go Spurs Go!” with under 3 minutes left from the San Antonio fans who remained long after many of Miami’s had bolted.

If the Heat force a Game 6, it would be in Miami Tuesday.

The Heat had followed their last 13 postseason losses with a victory, but at the end of a fourth straight season that went the distance, they might be out of gas. Miami seemed to lack the energy — or maybe effort — to defend San Antonio’s precision ball movement for the full 24 seconds, and time after time the Spurs ended up with a shot from

Klinsmann says unrealistic for US to expect World Cup title SAO PAULO (AP) — American fans decked out in red, white and blue watched their team’s lone public training session in Brazil, cheering and seeking autographs.

Jurgen Klinsmann maintains they shouldn’t expect the U.S. to lift soccer’s top trophy for the first time July 13, even if that stance upsets some.

“I think for us now, talking about winning a WorldCup is just not realistic,” the American coach said Wednesday during his first news conference in Brazil before the tournament. “First, we’ve got to make it through the group. So let’s stay with our feet on the ground and say let’s get that group first done, and then the sky is the limit.”

The Americans open Monday against Ghana, the team that eliminated them from the last two WorldCups, then play No. 4 Portugal and FIFA Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo. They close group play against three-time champion Germany, the world’s second-ranked team.

Landon Donovan, the star forward cut by Klinsmann last month, started work as an ESPN analyst Wednesday and said: “This will come as a surprise to nobody, but I don’t agree with Jurgen.”

He said former American defender Alexi Lalas, another ESPN broadcaster, felt the same way, as did the team’s primary fan group.

“As someone who has been in that locker room and has sat next to the players ... we agree with the American Outlaws: We believe that we will win,” Donovan said. “And I think that’s the way Americans think. I think that’s the sentiment.”

Odds makers peg the U.S. chances of winning the title at 250-1, up from 60-1 before December’s draw.

Klinsmann won the 1990 WorldCup as a player for West Germany and coached Germany to the 2006 semifinals. He caused a stir last weekend when he was quoted by The New York Times Magazine as saying in a December interview “we cannot win this WorldCup, because we are not at that level yet.” Klinsmann, who has lived in Orange Country, California, for most of the last 16 years, was accused by some commentators of having an un-American mentality.

“If it’s now American or not American, I don’t know,” he said.

“You can correct me however you want.”

Mix Diskerud, the 23-year-old midfielder with a Norwegian father and Arizonan mother, took Klinsmann’s remarks as a challenge.

“That’s an opportunity for us to prove him wrong,” he said.

Midfielder Alejandro Bedoya thought it was a meaningless debate, but he does feel the Americans are dismissed by the soccer cognoscenti.

“People still have around the world a little bit of a prejudice maybe or something that America is still growing in the soccer world,” Bedoya said. “They still poke fun maybe that we call it soccer and not football.”

Only eight nations have won the WorldCup, all from Europe and South America. Brazil has a record five titles, followed by Italy (four), Germany (three), Argentina and Uruguay (two each), and England, France and Spain (one apiece).

“Look, we haven’t won a WorldCup before, so you can’t go into the WorldCup saying, ‘Oh, we have to do what we’ve done in the past,’” forward Jozy Altidore said. “You come here obviously with that dream in the back of your mind. Let’s not be silly.

At the same time you have to be realistic and understand there are some teams that maybe are a bit more favored than we are obviously to win the tournament.”

The Americans enter ranked 13th, nine below their record high in April 2006. Their best WorldCup finish was at the first tournament, when they reached the semifinals in 1930.

This is the seventh straight WorldCup appearance for the Americans, who failed to qualify from 1950-90.

“I think we are every year making another step forward,” Klinsmann said. “We always now approach games where we say we don’t look at ourselves as an underdog, even if a lot of people want to put us as the underdog. In this very difficult group, we’re not. We’re going to go in there and take the game to Ghana and they will take it to us, and then we’ll go back and forth and hopefully the people see an exciting game and us as a winner at the end of the day.

And then we go from there.”

somebody who didn’t have a defender nearby.

Not quite as sharp as when they shot a finalsrecord 75.8 percent in the first half Tuesday night, the Spurs were still plenty good enough to open another huge lead by halftime, and they withstood every attempt Miami made to make a run.

“We were expecting a reaction from them but we were ready for it, so we just did the same thing,” Spurs forward Boris Diaw said.

The Spurs knew their defense had to be better, realizing their once-in-a-lifetime, 19-for-21 start in Tuesday’s 111-92 Game 3 victory covered the fact that they allowed Miami to make more than 50 percent in the game.

The defense was definitely improved in the first half, holding Miami to 12 of 34 (35 percent).

The Spurs missed their first three shots after needing 22 attempts to miss three times Tuesday.

They quickly got untracked from there, running off a 13-2 spurt to open a nine-point lead, and that was the margin when they went to the second ahead 2617.

San Antonio got the first five of the second to make it 31-17 on Danny Green’s 3-pointer, and the Spurs blew it open later in the quarter with seven straight points, capped by Leonard’s soaring follow dunk that made it 55-33.

Martin Kaymer seizes US Open lead PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — Three days of practice at the new Pinehurst No. 2 was enough to make Martin Kaymer believe this would be the same old U.S. Open.

So when he walked off the course on the eve of golf ’s toughest test and was asked what he would take for a score at the end of the week, he figured on 8-over par. That changed Thursday morning when he turned on his TV to watch early coverage.

Shots at the flag were checking up near the hole. He saw birdies — more than he expected.

Kaymer made six of them in the afternoon, three on the final five holes, sending the 29-year-old German to the lowest score in three Opens held at Pinehurst No. 2. He one-putted the last five holes, including a 6-foot par putt on the 18th that gave him a 5-under 65 and a three-shot lead.

“It was more playable than I thought,” he said. “I think that made a big difference mentally, that you feel like there are actually some birdies out there, not only bogeys.”

So much was made of the new look at No. 2, which was restored to its old look from more than a half-century ago. Pinehurst turned out to be more different than anyone imagined — at least for one day.

“But obviously, they softened the conditions a little bit so it was more playable,” he said. “So hopefully, I’m not right with the plus 8. I would be disappointed.”

Former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell took the conservative route on his way to a 68 that featured 15 pars, one bogey, one birdie and one eagle. He was joined

by Kevin Na, Brendon de Jonge and Fran Quinn, a 49-year-old who last played a U.S. Open in 1996, when Tiger Woods was still an amateur.

“This was a golf course where I spent the last few days just preparing myself mentally for the challenge, really, knowing that this golf course wasn’t going to give much and it was only going to take,” McDowell said.

“I’m assuming they put some water on this place this morning. And we were able to take advantage of that a little bit early on and actually think about getting at some of those flags.”

Brandt Snedeker, who had a chance at 30 on his front nine, had to

settle for being part of a large group at 69 that included 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson.

The 15 players to shoot in the 60s were the most for an opening round at the U.S. Open since 24 players did it at rain-softened Olympia Fields in 2003.

Phil Mickelson, in his latest quest to win the one major keeping him from the career Grand Slam, shot a 70. He was among the early starters, who received additional help by cloud cover that kept moisture in the greens.

Mickelson doesn’t expect Pinehurst to be any easier the rest of the week.

“There was some low scoring out there — some good scoring, I should say,” he said. “Anything around par, it’s usually a good score.”

Masters champion Bubba Watson was among the exceptions. He shot a 76 and said, “This course is better than me right now.”

Defending champion Justin Rose had a 72, making his bid a little tougher to become the first repeat winner in 25 years. Adam Scott, the world No. 1 who has been formidable in every major the last two years except the U.S. Open, had a 73.

Scott wasn’t about to panic. Pinehurst only figures to get more difficult.

“You know how it’s going to be at the end of the week,” Scott said.

“We’re going to be looking at even par, or something around that.”

Kaymer picked up four birdies with relative ease — three wedges to inside 3 feet, and a high draw with a 3-wood to about 20 feet on the par-5 fifth for a two-putt birdie. A few longer putts at the end really dressed up the score.

He hit a 6-iron at the flag on the 16th hole and made a 12-foot birdie putt, and then hit another 6-iron at the par-3 17th to about 10 feet for birdie.

“I would have never expected myself to shoot such a low round at Pinehurst ... but it’s a good round of golf,” Kaymer said. “I wasn’t expecting it. I’m not freaking out about it.

It’s the first round of a very, very important tournament. I put myself so far in a good position, but we have three rounds to go. The golf course can change a lot.”

Friday, June 13, 2014

Retrograde planets will affect our perception of good fortune, wrapping it in strange packages, but for the most part, this Friday the 13th will be as lucky as the fortuitous lunar phase it falls on. Stay focused on the bottom line. Top lines will dance, swerve and distract. Let them move as they will while you stay fixed on what really matters.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). The next six weeks will bring a lifestyle upgrade. You’ll find new ways of earning money and will add to your savings through September. In October, you will stumble upon a different manner of expressing yourself. The attention you gain will spark up your love life. Be generous with family in December. Leo and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 20, 19, 37 and 34.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a healthy social attitude and will model it for your peers.

You believe that you shouldn’t have to stress out to enjoy company, nor

should you have to show off. It’s a time to lighten up and have fun!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It takes all kinds.

You’ll experience those more confident and vocal than you. Don’t let it shake you from your usual manner of observing first to determine the line of action that would be most appropriate, thoughtful and kind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll be figuring out where you fit best in a situation. Stay flexible.

The first few landings may not be the right ones, but the fact that you’re willing to move tells everyone around that you’re a team player.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You may find that you’re concentrating so intently on one thing that it is starting to become an obsession. This is the level of attention necessary to get to the next level.

Don’t worry — you’ll be able to back off later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be cleaning and clearing an environ-

ment, a method of working or both. You are in a minimalistic mood, but be careful not to get rid of too much or scrub too hard. A gentle change is what’s needed.

yourself, but don’t make that public knowledge.

Let your confidence level be an internal matter. The reality is that you are likely to surpass their expectations of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you use what you were born with, you honor and claim your birthright. If you aren’t using your talents, chances are that you also are not being fully respected.

How can you put your talents to better use?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The right teacher for you is the one who doesn’t lump you in with the crowd. The right teacher sees and nurtures your individual gifts while addressing anything that detracts from them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The human voice carries volumes more than the words it speaks. That’s why an audible conversation is the best way to communicate with everyone from professionals to intimates.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You see and celebrate the small, underrated pleasures of life. It’s part of what makes you so attractive to a certain someone, and both of you will be able to feel that attraction tonight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There’s a wild energy pulling you toward people who interest you.

Note that this interest seems to occur regardless of whether or not these people are really good for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Consider not apologizing. You’ve probably been saying “sorry” too often. No one expects you to be perfect. Better to hold yourself to a high standard of grace than an impossible standard of perfection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You may doubt
