Collision with pole leads to power outage in Newton

Banks selected as 2016 Fourth of July parade grand marshal

The Newton Area Chamber of Commerce recently announced James (Junior) Banks as the 2016 Newton Fourth of July parade grand marshal.

The annual Fourth of July celebration will begin with the parade at 9:30 a.m. in downtown Newton. The theme this year is “A Salute to Presidents.”

Banks attended Washington School, Emerson Hough School and graduated from Newton Senior High School in 1946. He served in the Army for seven years. Upon returning to Newton, he worked at Maytag before becoming a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier for more than 23 years.

Banks retired but continued to work at Progress Industries for 12 years.

Banks was married for more than 46 years to his wife, Patsy Rogue Banks, who passed away in May 2015. He has four children, 14 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

“We had many great people who were nominated this year, but his nomination stood out to us on the Chamber Board,” Chamber executive director Amanda Price said.

James (Junior) Banks will be accompanied by two of his children in the parade, and we are honored to have him accept the honor of Grand Marshal.

Following the parade will be fun, family-friendly activities around the courthouse square with bounce houses for the kids and food vendors for all.

More than 250 Newton-area residents were without electricity for several hours Sunday, according to Alliant Energy.

A Sunday-morning, non-injury vehicle accident occurred along County Highway 74S, on a curve located about one-quarter mile north of South 60th Avenue East. Sgt. Nathan Ludwig of the Iowa State Patrol said it involved a vehicle striking a power pole, leading to an outage.

East Third Street traffic signal removal denied

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An ordinance to remove traffic signals at the intersection of First Avenue East and East Third Street failed to garner a motion from the city council. The ordinance was on its second reading at last week’s meeting but had found some resistance during the first reading on May 16.

“Since I live on East Third Street South, I’ve been witness to a couple of situation since the change has happened,” councilwoman Lin Chapé said. “It is a safety hazard and line of sight for one thing. However, even the way the stop sign is positioned right now, it is easy to miss. People just go right through.”

The city proposed removing the traffic signal after it malfunctioned on May 2. Bags were placed over the signals SIGNAL | 3A

Brunch showcases some of NHS’s top achievers Six new members inducted to school Hall of Fame

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Dr. David Jones spoke at Newton High School’s 2016 All-Alumni Brunch on Saturday, he managed to address both the struggle and excitement of football and importance of a powerful and inspirational education.

Jones was among the six NHS alums inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame, open to nominations for athletic, community and professional accomplishments over time.

The longtime economist and author represented the class of 1956, one of the many classes

recognized in the countdown of five- and 10-year classes involved in the “roll call” part of the brunch.

“Football and the rigorous curriculum were both indispensable in preparing me for everything in my career,” Jones said. “Thank you, Newton, Iowa, for helping me, and — Go Cardinals.”

The Hall of Fame inductions, now in their third year as a part of the brunch, helped recognize some of the brightest and most visible representatives of Newton High School in the world today. Cindy Cohn, a 1982 NHS graduate, is president and executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, devoted to defending individual rights in the digital world.

Clemon-Maki celebrating 25 years

Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News It’s like a marriage. That is how Gary Clemon and Dale Maki described their partnership in the insurance business as they celebrate 25 years in 2016.

Established in 1991, Clemon-Maki Insurance has grown to be a premier regional full-service insurance provider.

“The remarkable thing about the 25 years is Gary and I have been in business together when a lot of marriages don’t even last that long,” Maki said. “It takes a lot of give and take and disagreements are usually about the same, but for two people to spend as much time together as Gary and I have and done it for 25 years, there are very few partnerships that I can think of that exist today that still there.”

“We’re the exception to the rule that a partnership can last as long as ours did,” Clemon said. “A lot of times there is a lot of animosity between owners or partners. It is like being married, having a second wife, but somehow with the combination of our personalities which were just enough different, so that we weren’t in conflict with each other most of the time.”

Clemon and Maki first worked against each other as competitors before joining the same agency at a local bank. When those positions were no longer available, the two decided to go out on their own.

“We bought a small agency in Monroe and started out there.

Then 30 days later, we crossed the river and bought this building (their current location) and started the Newton location,” Maki said.

“When we opened our office all we had were three desks, a two- drawer file cabinet, a box of pencils and a big Chief notebook,” Clemon said.

The two started with seven files to work on and a set of manuals behind their desks to calculate rates. There were no cell phones and no internet, but they did have a two-disk introductory computer, a step up from what they previously used.

“The fax machine had just become readily available, and we just did mail. Your day was done when you got done working your mail,” Maki said.

The company stayed up to date as technology progressed and has seen changes in almost every area of the business.

“The market of insurance has changed a lot. At one time when there were the small shops you literally knew your customer and their family. We still have a little of that today but people are much more likely to get online and do their thing,” Maki said.

Maki’s son, and partner since 2015, Jeff agreed that even in his 15 years with the company

Ashley recently earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration from AIB and has quickly risen through the ranks from part-time teller to full-time teller. She will now be helping members as a full-time loan officer.

“I look forward to working Gipe with the public and helping them reach their dreams by giving them sound financial assistance,” Gipe said.

the way of doing business has changed.

“Automation has changed everything. When I joined the agency 16 years ago, email was there but it was more of a novelty. You could check it once a day.

The boom of internet communications as far as communicating with insurance companies has changed drastically over the past 15 years,” Jeff said.

Maki said before automation, he and Clemon would use manuals to rate an account.

“If you are good, it would take you an hour, and you had to do that for multiple companies to find out which is your best market for what. The automation changed that a lot. You can punch it all in, and it will rate it among all of them,” Maki said.

The company has now grown to two locations, the flagship in Newton and a branch in Baxter, serving more than 3,000 customers.

“All of a sudden we are 25 years down the road,” Clemon said.

Both Clemon and Maki have ment Base odel Rem

taken on different roles through the years, complimenting each other in differences and similarities.

“We each brought a little something to the game. Gary was more commercial oriented and I was more the life insurance and financial planning, so we complimented each other there,” Maki said. “Gary had a degree in financing and I had a degree in hard knocks. It was one of those things that we really meshed well together as a team.”

With the second generation of the company looking to the future since Jeff became a partner in 2015, the weight of a successful past sits on their shoulders.

“It is their baby. A lot of blood, sweat and tears and sleepless nights. Me, now being part owner, is scary in its own sense. You want to carry the lineage on. You want to continue it on and carry it to the next level to make them proud,” Jeff said.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. and global stocks were lower Monday, as investors waited to see what the Federal Reserve would do with interest rates later this week and awaited the fate of Britain’s membership in the European Union.

LinkedIn shares jumped after Microsoft announced plans to buy the company.

KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average lost 44 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,823 as of 9:50 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell a point, or 0.1 percent, to 2,095 and the Nasdaq composite fell 4 points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,890.

THE FED: The U.S. Federal Reserve had been expected to start raising interest rates, but now appears likely to remain in a wait-and-see mode.

The policy board holds meetings later this week, and investors are closely watching for comments

by Chair Janet Yellen.

While last month there was a large group of investors betting that the Fed would raise interest rates, the last two monthly jobs reports in the U.S. have put a damper on expectations.

LINKED UP: Shares of professional social networking site LinkedIn soared $62.66, or 48 percent, to $193.67 after Microsoft announced it was purchasing the company for $26.2 billion in cash. Shares of Microsoft fell $2.14, or 4 percent, to $49.36 after the deal was announced.

BRITISH REFERENDUM: Stocks in Europe remain under pressure on investor concerns over whether Britain will choose to remain in the European Union in a June 23 referendum.

Recent polls have shown the race is tight, with some polls showing a majority of British voters are in favor of exiting the EU. Germany’s DAX fell 1.5 percent, France’s CAC-40 fell 1.7 percent and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 fell 1 percent.

ENERGY: U.S. crude fell 59 cents to $48.49 a barrel, having fallen $1.49 to $49.07 a barrel in New York late Friday. Brent crude, the benchmark for international oil prices, fell 48 cents to $50.06 a barrel in London. Oil prices had reached 11-month highs in the last few days.

CURRENCIES: The dollar declined to 106.02 yen from 107.16 yen late Friday in Asia. The euro fell to $1.1269 from $1.1298.

As of 4 p.m., according to Alliant’s website, power had been restored to all homes affected.

Customers affected by the outage generally live in the southeast part of Newton and surrounding areas.

many visitors were only blocks from their doorsteps. Despite unseasonably warm temperatures, the event definitely drew from outside the county, though many Newton residents brought themselves, and, in many cases, their families to Newton Fest events.

Hundreds of people visited the second-annual event despite high temperatures, enjoying food, events and music. The barbecue contest, along with the bulk of the other Newton Fest events, were held Saturday, spread across various downtown sites and a few in other parts of town. A handful of events were held Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

A few new events were added this year.

The barbecue contest drew seven teams willing to pony up the $30 entry fee. Larry Hurto’s tour of seven downtown churches included about 20 people, and Chalk the Walk seemed to have strong interest.

“The barbecue contest went as well as it possibly could have,” said Andrew Bassman, director of the Newton Main Street program.

“We sold the maximum number of tickets, and heard nothing but positive feedback from contestants and consumers alike.”

Signal Continued from Page 1A and temporary stop signs were installed for northbound and southbound traffic on East Third Street.

The Newton Traffic Safety Committee met on May 5, and following a review of a recent traffic study performed on the downtown, recommended the removal of the signals. The review sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation and administered

by Snyder & Associates completed the study on April 28 and indicated that traffic counts do not warrant signals at most of the intersection in the downtown.

It did find that because of the location of existing buildings, most traffic signals are needed.

The only intersection the study found an exception to was on East Third Street. The report recommended the signals be removed and replaced with stop signs on the minor streets approaching First

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Illtud Dunsford, who lives in Wales, was far from home Saturday when he helped judge the barbecue contest at Newton Fest.

The grand champion of the barbecue contest was BAM BQ from Cedar Rapids, with Matt Koon’s Newton “Koon BQ” team earning reserve champion honors. The Newton DMACC Culinary Arts program took first place in chicken wings from the certified judges, while BAM BQ took first place in ribs. Kyle Johnson’s Newton T-Rex BBQ took the People’s Choice Award for its chicken wings.

In the Chalk the Walk event, Discover Hope was honored for the best theme, Joanne Thomason and Ella Price were named most creative and the Newton Arboretum team earned “Best In Show.”

apart of last year’s list, the car show remained popular. Despite morning thunderstorms that occurred fairly close to the start time, there ended up being more than 85 entries.

The Ladies of the 80s, a traveling, multi-singer cover band from the Twin Cities area, put on a well-received free concert in the courthouse square Saturday evening.

Children and others danced in front of the stage, sometimes alongside the interactive singers,rocking out to everything from the GoGos’ “We Got the Beat” to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.”

The band played three sets, and at the end of the first one, Newton Fest committee members gave a gift certificate to the winner of an informal, audience-noise 80s costume contest. Newton resident Dave Bonnett, dressed as Gene Simmons of Kiss, won the contest, though there were several other creative, historically accurate entries.

Dunsford said the sticky, 93-degree conditions were nothing like what he’s used to in Wales. After calculating a Celsius conversion in his head, Dunsford said summer temperatures in his part of Wales are typically in the 60s in Fahrenheit.

“It’s nothing like here, with heat for days at a time,” he said. “We might get a freak day, once a year, that spikes this high.”

he had with the removal of the traffic signal.

“We’ve heard breaks squeal several times out there, all of us,” McCormick said. “My biggest concern is safety. People coming from the west going east, once they get past Dairy Queen will not see or hear an ambulance going down that street. It could be a fourway stop sign. Something

has to be done.”

Following the city’s decision to not move forward with the removal of the signals, work started to repair the signals so they can function property again, Public Work Director Keith Laube said.

Alumni Continued from Page 1A The San Francisco resident was recognized among the 100 most influential lawyers in America by the National Law Journal. She praised the efforts to recognize standout graduates in the Hall of Fame and said her background in Newton Schools — particularly at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School — helped prepare her to devote much of her life to helping the American people get enough information to make good decisions.

“They say sunshine is the best disinfectant,” Cohn said. “For at least the last 10 years, we have been living in a time where enough technology exists for the government to circumvent rights, but also for citizens to use it and their courage to protect themselves.”

Also honored at the banquet were inductees Treye Jackson, Dr. Andrew Hershey, M.D., and the late Lyle D. Goodhue, Ph.D. and Frank “Bucky” O’Connor.

Jackson, who now lives in Indianola, came to the banquet with his wife, Jennifer, and his parents, Harvey and Pat. Jackson, an accomplished football and track star at NHS, smiled as he went through some of the memorabilia laid out in the NHS rotunda, as much of it involved either Cardinal football in general or the 1980 state-champion team. When he spoke at the brunch, he remembered a particular track meet that inspired him.

“It was a relay, and I took off like a rabbit,” Jackson said. “I started to really feel it, and I beat the second-place guy by about a step. That let me know I could accomplish a lot.”

Hershey had a previous commitment, and his mother, Jean McCardell Hershey, came to the brunch to thank everyone involved in her son’s Hall of Fame honor. Goodhue, an inventor, was represented by his sons, Jack and Charlie, and O’Connor, a Hawkeye men’s basketball coach killed in a car accident, was represented by his nephew, Mike O’Connor.

The roll call asked each group from a year ending in one or six (i.e., 2011 and 2016) for their class mottos. Many did not know their mottos; members of the class of 1976 joked about stealing the Star Trek mantra “Live long and prosper.”

The class of 1941 had one representative. That class’s motto was “Find a path, or make one.”

The banquet ended with the “Che-cha-rah-rahrah” of the NHS Loyalty Song.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The traffic signal at First Avenue East and East Third Street will be repaired following a malfunction in May.

Dog days of summer

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

Editor’s note: This column originally published Aug. 25, 2014 his time of year the piercing sound of the cicadas in our ears acts as nature’s not-so-subtle reminder that the season will soon change. It’s a soundtrack to summer’s end — and a playlist I’m not particularly fond of.

Such was the case Sunday when I desperately longed to quiet the noise as I worshipped the sun in the pool, a lifelong favorite pastime of mine.

(Yes, mom, I’m armored with SPF30).

As I fought the battle between relaxing and entertaining my 8-year-old son, he came up with a great idea — let’s get the dog in the pool.

Most folks have a dog for companionship. My relationship with my dog,

T

a German Shorthair named Kinnick, is based more on entertainment value, although she is a great buddy too.

There was a point in our relationship that I just thought she was little too much work. Most puppies are.

She’s a big fan of my husband, and when she was younger she would act out when he traveled for work. She ate everything from extension cords to woodwork to her very own kennel. I’d often come home from work to discover a disaster. (Sidebar: If your dog ingests wire, such as an extension cord, you have to feed her tuna-soaked cotton balls so it doesn’t do any harm in passing. Seriously, I’m not making this up.)

So while I thought our pup was kind of cute, I also thought she was a

giant pain in the rear.

Then something happened around her second birthday. By that time she had less of the puppy behavior … and she didn’t mind when I put a party hat on her to commemorate her second year in the family.

Thus began the tradition of me dressing up my dog.

All of those sweaters, costumes and other dog attire you see in the store and shake your head at — yea, I’m the one that buys that stuff.

As for Kinnick — she loves it. I will stand by that statement until the end of time, despite the many, many friends that have suggested I’m torturing her.

It’s my belief that she enjoys the attention she receives from the extra time I spend with her, to the inevitable photo shoot. Besides, getting dressed up makes any gal feel good.

I’m almost always on the lookout to get a laugh out of our pet, so the swimming idea was one of pure bril-

liance.

Of course, it didn’t go as smoothly as I anticipated. It was a three-man job to coax her into the pool and it took a raft to convince her to stay. I wouldn’t necessarily describe her as fond of the water.

To watch her doggy paddle was hilarious. To observe a dog straddling an inflatable raft was even funnier.

Again, I think it was the attention she enjoyed the most, although by the end of her first lesson she seemed a bit more comfortable in the water.

By the end of the ordeal, I realized I was enjoying some of the final summer moments of the season before they slipped away. Then I realized some of my favorite seasons lie ahead.

Honestly, I’m rather excited about the Ghostbusters costume I found for my dog. This has to be the ideal time of year to snatch up a dog bikini on clearance.

Eye on America John Stossel

Not Trump or Clinton Finally! Voters have another choice. The Libertarian Party nominated two socially tolerant but fiscally conservative former governors, Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.

Weld? Isn’t the former Massachusetts governor just another Republican?

He didn’t act like one when he and Johnson sat for an interview.

“This is the dream ticket for me,” began Johnson.

“He doesn’t look like a dream,” I responded rudely. “He’s not thought of by us libertarians as Libertarian.”

“Weld got the A from Cato Institute,” said Johnson, referring to the libertarian think tank. “Weld was declared the fiscally most conservative governor in the country ... First day in office, Bill Weld furloughs 8,000 employees.”

I hadn’t known that.

“Nine percent of the state workforce,” said Weld, “and I never received a single postcard asking, ‘Where are those essential 8,000 employees?’ I cut the budget 14 percent my first two months. Piece o’ cake ... I’d love to see the federal government receive cuts like that.”

Me, too.

Johnson added that his running mate was “progay, pro-choice and pro-medical marijuana at a time nobody else was talking about this stuff.”

But Weld also supported the Iraq War, saying that George W. Bush had “grown in office.” As Massachusetts’ governor, he backed the drug war and restrictions on gun ownership.

Today, about Iraq, he said, “I wasn’t exactly waving flags when the invasion occurred ... That Iraq thing has turned out to be one of the worst mistakes ever.”

Why did he push gun regulation? “There are a lot of bills kicking around in Massachusetts. I’ve been a hunter my entire life, a gun owner my entire life.

I really consider myself a Second Amendment guy.”

Today, Weld says he’s ready to legalize marijuana.

Johnson goes further, “I’m not advocating legalization of other drugs, but if we legalized all drugs tomorrow, the world would be a better place. Ninety percent of the drug problem is prohibition-related.”

Both candidates sounded pretty libertarian to me.

“We don’t buy the dog food that either party is selling,” said Weld. “We don’t buy government making decisions for people in their private lives, part of the Republican Party platform, and we don’t buy the Democrats’ penchant for spending money that we don’t have.”

Do Libertarians have a chance? Early polls show Johnson getting 10 percent of the vote, even though most Americans don’t know who he is. Once people get to hear him, that number will grow. Lots of people want to elect someone other than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

“If Mickey Mouse were the third name, Mickey would get 30 percent,” said Johnson, “but Mickey’s not on the ballot in all 50 states.”

Good point. Libertarians are the only third party likely to be on the ballot in all the states.

Trump calls Libertarians and Johnson “a fringe deal.”

“Spot on!” replied Johnson. “Totally fringe!

Small government, fiscally conservative, socially liberal.”

What else do Libertarians stand for? Speeches at the nominating convention offer a sample: “A conservative will fight to live free. A Libertarian fights for everybody to live free.”

“There exist in America more laws than an average reader could read — reading 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 600 years.”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Our immigration policies are ridiculous I recently stayed with a friend who lives just a few miles from the Mexican border — and near the start of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Since I was there anyway, I thought, what the heck? I might as well hike a bit of it.

I’d walked less than a quarter mile from the wall at the border — yes, there’s already a wall along much of the border — when Border Patrol stopped me.

“Out taking nature photography, Miss?” the man asked.

“That your Toyota?”

The next time I went out, I returned to find Border Patrol parked behind me, inspecting my car.

The last time I was on the trail, at about nine miles from the border, I could see the highway for a brief section of my hike. I watched a white and green Border Patrol vehicle pass. Then another.

I jokingly thought I should start counting them, but I doubted I’d see any more. Then three more passed in about as many minutes.

I hope they’re either making a major drug bust or going to a staff meeting, I thought. Because otherwise this is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, “ridiculous” is winning out.

Our country will shell out upwards of $14 billion to blanket our country with Border Patrol agents this year. Yet about 40

Another View Jill Richardson percent of undocumented immigrants arrive legally and overstay their visas, so any effort to “secure the border” with a wall or patrols won’t catch them.

As for the people actually apprehended at the border, NPR reports that a growing number are refugees fleeing violence in Central America who turn themselves in voluntarily.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not all that concerned about letting in 13-year-old Salvadorian girls escaping murder threats back home.

The other major stick the government uses with undocumented immigrants is deportation. But that may be making the situation in Central America worse, since deported gang members contribute to the violent situation there, driving more people to flee northward.

And consider how crops rotted in the fields in Alabama and Georgia when those states stepped up immigration enforcement and the undocumented laborers who worked on farms there were forced out.

In short: What are we doing?

I don’t claim to have all the answers, but it appears that simply doubling down on border enforcement isn’t one of them.

In the era of Trump, any policy that can be called “amnesty” may sound politically toxic. But what if we did grant amnesty to law-abiding undocumented immigrants who are already here?

That could free up our immigration authorities to focus on criminal drug cartels and terrorist threats, instead of people who came here peacefully to support their families.

As for the drug gangs, wouldn’t it be smarter to deprive them of their lucrative business?

Already there are signs that the legalization of marijuana in a few states has taken a big chunk out of their profits.

Or we could modernize our immigration quotas, so that coming here legally wouldn’t mean waiting upwards of 20 years, as it does now for Mexican families.

It stands to reason that if one could come here legally, one would choose to do so. The alternative — crossing a desert on foot at great expense and risk of death, and then hiding in the shadows once here — is a much worse option.

Instead of simply focusing on border policing and deporting anyone who lacks documentation, we should take a more systematic approach to assess our priorities — and then craft policies that achieve them in a cost-effective and humane way.

Widow’s thoughtful beau is generous to a fault

DEAR ABBY: I’m a widow and have been seeing someone for two years. He often stays at my home. He treats me well, but we have different tastes in furnishings. He brings me trinkets and tacky accessories from his home that I do not display. My spare bedroom closet is filled with these unwanted items. He knows I can afford to buy the things I like.

Recently he gave me two gifts — both new — neither of which I feel are appropriate for me. I appreciate the thought, but why would he continue to do this? He can clearly see they are not on display in my home, which would indicate I don’t like or want them.

This man is not a cheapskate. He takes me for nice dinners, movies, brings flowers and chocolates as well. I don’t want to hurt his feelings. Should I continue to accept the gifts and pretend I’m thrilled? I don’t want to appear to be ungrateful or spoiled, because he is kind and generous. — JANE DOE IN THE SOUTH DEAR JANE: Before this man spends any more money on gifts you put in a closet, have a talk with him.

Explain that while you appreciate the thought behind the trinkets he gives you, you have different tastes, and suggest that the next time he wants to give you something that you pick it out “together.” (It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see a yard sale in your future.)

DEAR ABBY: My 85-year-old mother is in a dysfunctional relationship with my 50-year-old, alcoholic brother. He lives with her rent-free and abuses her emotionally and verbally. It has gotten physical at times, although she says he has never hit her.

He was recently arrested for domestic violence against his girlfriend, who is a drug addict. Mom has dialed 911 more than once, but the last time she told the officers it was a “mistake” because he’s on probation, and she didn’t

want him to go to jail.

I’m at a loss about what to do because if I have social services look into it, I risk ruining my relationship with my mom, and she’s not in the best of health. Should my siblings and I take a stand, step in and do something about it? — WANTS TO HELP MOM DEAR WANTS TO HELP: By all means! A report should be made to adult protective services in your state because elder abuse can involve emotional and financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult, as well as physical abuse.

DEAR ABBY: I am a Southern girl born in Virginia, now living in Florida. I have an accent. Why is it that people make fun of your accent when you are from the South, but not from up North? — PONDERING IN FLORIDA DEAR PONDERING: I’m not sure your assumption is correct. I have heard people imitate Boston and New York accents as well as Southern accents. Years ago, an Australian gentleman used his “American accent” on me, and had me fooled for about 15 minutes. I assume people do this because they think it’s funny and not out of a desire to hurt anyone’s feelings.

P.S. Isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

Responding officers say the temperature inside the car was 125 degrees.

Police: Baby dies Native history, Bakken pipeline after being left in clash in Iowa Blood Run area hot car by father DES MOINES — Police in central Iowa are investigating the death of a baby they say was left inside a sweltering car while his father visited a Williams barber shop.

Des Moines officers were called to a hospital just before 8 p.m. Saturday to investigate a suspicious child death, police said in a written news release Sunday.

Responding officers said they learned that the 6-month-old infant had died after reportedly being left in a car.

Detectives said they determined that the death had happened

outside at a north Des Moines barbershop.

Witnesses told police that Lance Williams Sr., 35, had left his infant son unattended in the vehicle while he was in the barbershop “for an extended period of time.”

National Weather Service information showed the high temperature in Des Moines on Saturday was 91. If left in the sun, the temperature in the car would have climbed well into the triple digits.

Williams was arrested and charged with child endangerment resulting in death, police said. He remained in the Polk County Jail on Sunday on $25,000 bond. He could not be reached for comment.

Williams’ next court appearance has been set for June 22.

City of Clinton considers repairs to Showboat Theatre CLINTON (AP) — The Clinton City Council is mulling a plan to refurbish one of the city’s most prominent structures: the Clinton Area Showboat Theatre.

The 1935 river boat, which was converted into a showboat in the 1960s, has received interior renovations and updates in recent years.. But the exterior of the boat has begun to show signs of disrepair.

Chipped and stripped paint and rust are visible all around the boat. According to its website, the last exterior painting for the boat came in 2006.

Council members believe it might be time for another one.

Preservation projects for the boat are pending, and have been estimated at roughly $200,000, City Administrator Jessica Kinser said.

By Mike Klein Des Moines Register

ROCK RAPIDS (AP) — The planned route of the Bakken oil pipeline in northwest Iowa would lie near an area in Lyon County that archaeologists say was essentially the state capital for native populations from 1500 to 1700.

It’s also near what state officials hope is Iowa’s newest state park — and the nation’s first bistate park, managed with South Dakota.

The issue draws attention to a little-known area of rich historical and cultural significance in Iowa’s history.

An estimated 6,000 to 10,000 people lived 500 years ago in a vast complex of villages along Blood Run Creek and the Big Sioux River, the largest known in the Oneota cultural tradition and larger than any Lyon County town today.

“It’s an amazing number for its time, and is one of the biggest population aggregates in the Midwest,” said John Doershuk, Iowa’s state archaeologist.

A sovereign lands construction permit for Dakota Access LLC pipeline construction in the area was issued in March by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. But a stop-work order followed, because of possible disruption of a sacred site of the Sioux tribe to the south of Blood Run. Officials with several government and tribal agencies conducted an on-site investigation last week.

The Ioway, Ponca, Omaha and Oto tribes, all descendants of the Oneota culture, shared the area that became a settlement for economic reasons near springfed Blood Run Creek, named for carrying the red pigment of iron

oxide after heavy rains.

The tribes were fleeing pressure from the Iroquois from the east in the 1500s and found a place where water, game and trade was plentiful. The western state border here is often thought of as the ecological and symbolic area where the Western plains begin. Natives gathered the soft red stone from nearby Pipestone, Minnesota, that was easily carved and valued by traders in the Midwest and beyond.

The tribes constructed numerous burial and ceremonial mounds and storage pits on the landscape. Historical maps show up to 200 mounds, but only 85 are visible today, Doershuk said.

The Sioux entered the area by 1714 and used it primarily as hunting grounds, but they were the last tribe there before white settlement.

In the 1800s, the mounds began to be destroyed by railroads, agriculture and “pot hunters”

who dug them up, according to the book “Blood Run: The ‘Silent City’” by Dale Henning and Gerald Schnepf.

Some farmers would plow over mounds and find hundreds of artifacts.

Native groups were friendly with each other along Blood Run. It wasn’t unusual for a family to move in with another family for purposes of trade, said Henning, a former Luther College professor and archaeologist who lives in West Des Moines.

Henning’s excavation of 150 to 200 storage pits in 1985 and 1986 found that they once held stored crops and hides and bones that told a story. Bison likely were so numerous that they literally walked through the village, Henning said. Studying the remains showed that the bison had been killed so near the camp, they had not even been dissembled to carry long distances before storage.

A grateful attitude is good for your heart, suggests a new study. Researchers asked 186 people, average age 66, to fill out a survey rating how grateful they felt in their lives. The more grateful people were, the less inflammation and less plaque buildup they had in their arteries. In a follow-up study, experts tested patients for heart disease marker such as inflammation and heart rhythm problems. Then they asked half the group to write in a journal, 2 to 3 things a day for which they were grateful. After 8 weeks, they retested them and found the journal keepers had a reduction in inflammation and improved heart rhythms.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Make the call — Newton High’s Sydney Jenkins, right, slides in safely with the first run of the game against Saydel in Saturday’s Newton Softball Tournament as Saydel catcher Lyndsay Bianchi bobbled the throw to the plate. The Cardinals defeated Saydel, 3-0, to go 2-0 in the tournament, taking second place behind Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

Raiders, Cardinals are first, second at NHS tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Raiders were the hot teams on a hot day at Agnes Patterson Park in Saturday’s 2016 Newton High Softball Tournament. The Cardinals and the Class 10th-ranked Raiders were 2-0 in games.

The Raiders scored 22 runs in their victories — 14-0 over South Hardin in five innings and 8-5 over Des Moines Roosevelt. Newton rolled past Roosevelt 9-1 in its opener and beat Saydel, a team which defeated CMB Friday night, 3-0 in its second game for 12 runs scored.

Saydel edged Indianola 5-4 in its first game then lost only for the second time this season when the Cardinals shut the Eagles out. Indianola downed Class 3A top-ranked Benton 1-0 after Benton decked Des Moines North 14-0 in its opener Saturday.

South Hardin beat North 12-0 in their second games of the tournament.

CMB earned the tournament title and the Raider players were awarded team medals. Medals were also awarded to an all-tournament team which included Newton senior Sydney Jenkins and freshman Emily Valtman and CMB’s junior Abbey Kahler and eighth-grader Mikayla Houge.

CMB and Benton went head-to-head in an extra game following tournament play at Agnes Patterson. Benton won the contest of top-10 Class 3A teams, 10-0 in five innings.

“Overall it was a good day going 2-1,” CMB head coach Troy Houge said. “We seemed

to run out of gas against a very good Benton team. We had runners on but could not get the runs across. Benton made us pay for our mistakes. It was a good learning experience for the girls on playing top teams and handling the heat for the first time this year.”

The tournament was delayed by an hour because of early morning rain in Newton.

The Raiders opened against South Hardin and Mikayla Houge threw a one-hit shutout in the five-inning, runruled shortened contest. She struck out five South Hardin batters.

Hammering out her fourth home run of the season, senior Payge Jurgens had a grand slam as the Raiders pulled away from the Tigers.

Jurgens was 4-for-4 with three singles. She scored three runs

and had five RBIs. CMB had a six-run third inning to go up 8-0, added a run in the fourth and scored five times in the fifth.

Eighth-grader Holly Jessen singled and doubled in the game and eighth-grader Abby Husak hit two singles.

Hitting a single each were Abbey Kahler, junior Mikayla Eslinger and Houge.

While the Raiders were winning big up on Field 4, Newton was doing much the same just down the hill. The Cardinals built a 5-0 lead before Des Moines Roosevelt added a run in the third inning.

Newton’s Jenkins had already scored twice in the game, but she led off the fourth with ad double followed by a single from sophomore Karley Leiker. Sophomore Taylor

Ryan drove in Jenkins on a fielder’s choice.

Valtman, who was 4-for-4 in the game, hit Newton’s second home run of the season.

She launched a pitch over the center field fence for a tworun blast. Valtman also had three singles in the game.

Newton added a run in the sixth for the 9-1 final. Karley Leiker and freshman Maddi Thayer shared the pitching duties for Newton as they combined to limit the Roughriders to three hits.

Jenkins had two doubles, and Ryan hit a double and a single. Karley Leiker had a single.

The Cardinals took on Saydel, which was 10-1 going into Saturday’s game. The Eagles had beaten CMB 4-0 Friday in Heart of Iowa Conference play then got a one-run

win over Indianola in their first game of Saturday’s tournament.

Saydel won the coin toss and was the home team against Newton. After two scoreless innings, Newton got on the scoreboard.

Just after freshman pitcher Anna Coyle got out of a jam — two-on and no outs — with a bunt in the air caught by catcher Valtman and two strikeouts in the bottom of the second, Newton went to work in the top of the third. Jenkins and Karley Leiker had backto-back singles and moved up to third and second on a sacrifice fly by Ryan.

Valtman’s sacrifice fly was deep enough to drive in Jenkins. Jenkins beat the throw to the plate, which was bobbled TOURNAMENT | 8B

Hits not there for Cardinals in LHC loss to Oskaloosa

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton third baseman Drew Stout fields the baseball in a recent home game. Newton dropped a 3-0 decision Fri-

OSKALOOSA — One big hit is what separated Newton High’s Cardinals from host Oskaloosa’s Indians Friday in a Little Hawkeye Conference baseball game.

“They got the big hit and we didn’t,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said following a 3-0 loss. “We didn’t hit the ball again tonight. We got another tremendous pitching performance by Garrett Sturtz. It comes down to we’re not hitting the ball. Once that happens, we’ll win games, especially these close ones.”

Three singles by Oskaloosa’s Blake VanVeldhuizen, Peyton Crouse and Seth Sarver loaded the bases for in the bottom of

the second. Tucker Nunnikhoven connected for a two-out, threerun double.

Newton had two on and no one out in the first and third innings and did not score. The Cardinals had two runners on with two out in the fifth and couldn’t get a hit to bring in runs.

Sturtz pitched his second complete game in three days for the Cardinals. In a 4-0 win Wednesday at home, Sturtz threw 59 pitches and Friday he worked the six innings with 61 pitches — 47 of which were strikes.

“On two days rest, Garrett came back and had their hitters off balance. Four of the eight hits he gave up came in that one inning. We played solid defense behind him and he struck out one,”

Brisel said.

The Cardinals were held to four hits, all singles. Drew Stout, Brennen Dodd, Sturtz and Trevor Ergenbright had one each.

Oskaloosa (11-2) used Sarver and Joey Sterner on the mound.

They combined for 108 pitches, and Sarver, who got the win, issued the only walk of the game.

The Indians are 5-1 in LHC play.

The Cardinals are 5-6 overall and 2-3 in Little Hawkeye Conference action. They host Class 3A top-ranked Pella at 5:30 p.m.

Monday for a varsity LHC doubleheader at Eversman Field in Woodland Park.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

ADEL — For the second time in five days, the Colfax-Mingo softball team knocked off a ranked team in Class 2A.

Saydel hands CMB first HOIC defeat

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Freshman Jade Olsen held the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team to four hits Friday night, and senior Taylor Tague drove in three runs as Saydel handed the RaidCamp ers their first loss in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Tague hit a solo home run and then added a two-run single in the fourth as the Eagles won 4-0 on the road.

“We came out flat and seemed to be chasing pitches all night,” CMB coach Troy Houge said.

“When we did hit it well, it went right at them” The Class 3A No. 10 Raiders had one more base runner in the game than Saydel, but four of CMB’s five hits were sin-

gles.

Sophomore Katie Camp had a double, but Tague’s solo home run and three RBIs were the difference for Saydel, which improved to 11-2 overall and 6-0 in HOIC action.

Penguins beat Sharks for fourth Stanley Cup SAN JOSE, Calif.

(AP) — Sidney Crosby let out a scream as he lifted the Stanley Cup above his head, a wide smile spread across his face.

The seven years of adversity since he last held the trophy were firmly in his past. The concussions that nearly derailed his career. The early playoff exits. The rough start to this season that led to a coach being fired.

Crosby and the Penguins are once again champions.

A kid no more and surrounded with new talent, Crosby set up Kris Letang’s go-ahead goal midway through the second period and Pittsburgh won the fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history by beating the San Jose Sharks 3-1 in Game 6 on Sunday night. Owner Mario Le-

mieux thrust his hands into the air in triumph high up in an arena suite and later hugged his superstar on the ice.

This title had been a long time coming.

“I was just thinking about how hard it was to get to this point, just trying to enjoy every second of it,” Crosby said. “It’s not easy to get here. Having won seven years ago at a young age, you probably take it for granted a little bit. You don’t think you do at the time, but it’s not easy to get to this point.”

Brian Dumoulin opened the scoring with a power-play goal and Patric Hornqvist added a late empty-netter.

Matt Murray made 18 saves to give the Penguins a championship seven years to the day after they beat Detroit HOCKEY | 8B

NASCAR photo Joey Logano celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday in Brooklyn, Mich.

Logano wins at Michigan, helps make NASCAR history

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Joey Logano plopped into a seat, getting a much-needed break, when the 26-year-old driver found out he was just a part of history.

Logano pulled away from the pack to win the FireKeepers Casino 400 and was followed by 20-year-old Chase Elliott and 23-year-old Kyle Larson, the youngest top three in NASCAR Sprint Cup history.

“That’s pretty cool,” he said when informed of the feat Sunday.

The trio’s average age of 23 was younger than the 24.7 of the top three finishers at a race in 1951 and two races the previous year.

“The future of NASCAR is present,” Logano said. “It’s going to be big. It’s amazing to see.”

Logano, the pole-setter, moved past Elliott on lap 153 and stayed ahead for the 15th Sprint Cup series victory of his career in the 15th race of a year that has included 10 different winners.

Elliott finished a career-best second, but wasn’t in the mood to celebrate because he blamed himself for poor restarts.

“I definitely messed up,” he said. “Putting it in the correct gear would be a good start.”

Larson fell one place short of matching his best performance.

Brad Keselowski was fourth and points leader Kevin Harvick finished fifth at Michigan International Speedway.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., who finished 39th out of 40, is the only winner from 2015 that is winless this year.

NASCAR’s latest aerodynamic package made its debut, part of the sport’s plan to create more competitive racing.

“We hope it works,” team owner Joe Gibbs said, leaving a venue that used to be packed and now has pockets of empty seats in the 72,000-seat racetrack. “We need more people in the stands.”

The new aero setup included, for the first time in more than a decade, a reduction in the downforce to 1,500 pounds and shortening of the spoiler to 2.5 inches.

“It’s not a whole lot different than the other package,” Earnhardt bristled from the garage after a crash knocked him out of the race. “I think we talk about packages too much.”

Drivers weren’t sure how their cars would handle due to the changes, which will also be implemented next month at Kentucky. That appeared to lead to an uncharacteristically accident-free start on the 2-mile oval about 70 miles west of Detroit.

The first caution didn’t slow down the race until lap 47, the cleanest start at MIS since 2009.

“At the start of the race, everyone was trying to take it easy,” Larson explained.

Free-flowing racing didn’t last long. Yellow flags became frequent before a restart with 30plus laps left.

Logano had a huge lead with 12 laps to go when Denny Hamlin, the Daytona 500 winner, blew out his front right tire to force another restart. Logano sped away when the racing went green again and coasted to the

win, seemingly taking advantage of the new aero package.

“The cars are out of control, no doubt,” he said. “Crazy. It makes it a lot of fun. You’re going faster in the straightaway and you have no downforce. Especially threewide, it’s a recipe for disaster.”

Busch Bummed Kyle Busch had finished 30th or worse in four straight races since winning his third race of the year last month at Kansas.

Busch completed just 52 laps before blowing his engine, causing him to finish 40th and last.

“The last four races have been really, really bad,” he acknowledged.

Family Ties The Earnhardt family — Dale Jr. and his nephew, Jeffrey — had a rough day, finishing toward the back of the 40-car race. The right side of Earnhardt Jr.’s car crashed into the wall, ending his race after 61 laps. He bumped against Chris Buescher soon after a restart.

“He must have just lost the nose of his car,” Earnhardt said.

“I hate it, but you try to take care of each other out there.”

Jeffrey Earnhardt was forced out on lap 107 when a fire started in the front of his car, which became fully engulfed in flames as he steered it on to pit row. Jeffrey Earnhardt, who had to jump from the car, was evaluated at the infield medical center was released.

Up Next Sonoma Raceway, Sunday.

Kyle Busch is the defending race winner.

Stewart loves new aero package, hates restarts BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Tony Stewart raved about NASCAR’s aerodynamic package and ranted about its restarts after one of his best performances of his farewell season.

Downforce was reduced to 1,500 pounds and spoilers were shortened to 2.5 inches for the first time in more than a decade.

Those were part of changes that were implemented for the first time Sunday at the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, where Joey

Logano won his first race of the year.

“I absolutely love it,” Stewart said. “The package is good.”

The restarts? Not so much.

“The restarts are stupid,” Stewart said. “I’ve got only six months more of these stupid restarts.”

The three-time champion plans to retire at the end of the season.

He missed the first eight races this year with a back injury.

Stewart finished seventh — one shy of his season-best sixth

at Talladega — in a 40-car race that was stunted by nine caution flags.

“You can’t blame anybody,” he said. “Everybody’s got to go because as soon as you go through the first lap, you’re kind of stuck where you’re at. When they get this back to where it needs to be and you’ve got to start worrying about saving your tires and everything, then those guys who are trying to run Mach 3 for the first five laps are going to pay a price later. It’ll come around.”

Cubs blast Braves, win series at Turner Field ATLANTA (AP) — Jon Lester earned his fourth straight victory after allowing no earned runs in seven innings as the Chicago Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves, 13-2, to win their final series at Turner Field.

Lester (8-3) has allowed only one earned run with no walks in three wins this month, lowering his ERA to 1.89. He gave up five hits to the Braves, his high mark of the month, with seven strikeouts.

Chicago outscored Atlanta 21-4 in winning the final two games of the three-game series.

Javier Baez hit a three-run homer off Chris Withrow to cap the Cubs’ six-run eighth inning.

Braves rookie right-hander John Gant (0-1), making his first start after seven relief appearances, allowed three runs, two earned, in 4 1/3 innings.

Royals 3, White Sox 1 CHICAGO (AP) — Yordano Ventura pitched seven sharp innings for Kansas City in his first start since he brawled with Manny Machado in Baltimore, and the Royals beat the Chicago White Sox for their second straight win following an eight-

game losing streak.

Ventura (5-4) struck out a season-high 10 and walked one in his first win since May 17 against Boston, making the most of Kansas City’s run-scoring singles in the first and second.

Salvador Perez added a leadoff homer down the left-field line in the ninth.

Kelvin Herrera worked the eighth and Wade Davis finished for his 17th save in 18 chances, helping manager.

Carlos Rodon (2-6) shook off a slow start and pitched six effective innings for Chicago.

Newton Water Board Meeting Minutes Friday, April 22, 2016 The Newton Waterworks Board of Trustees met in regular session on Friday, April 22, 2016 at the Newton City Council Chambers.

Present were Maureen Lockwood, Lee Zmolek, Bret Doerring, and L.D. Palmer.

Absent: None Also present was Field Service Director Marty Hoffert.

Chairperson Maureen Lockwood called the meeting to order at 12:01 PM. The Board approved the March Board Minutes by consent.

Steve Van Dyke of Fox Engineering was present to discuss alternatives to upgrade Backwash Recovery tank at water plant in order to comply with the IDNR requirements.

Five alternatives were developed.

Those included Option 1 Replace the Backwash tank Option 2 Cover existing tank Option 3 Meet Ground Water Under the Influence Requirements Option 4 eliminate backwash recycle Option 5 Discharge to receiving stream .

Mr. Van Dyke recommended Options 1, 2, or 4.

After discussion the Board directed Fox to investigate option 2 which is covering existing tank with a Clear Span facility. Lee Zmolek wondered if a galvanized steel frame building would hold up better because of moisture.

Bret Doerring moved to direct Fox Eng. To investigate Option 2 which is covering existing tank with a Clear Span Roof.

Lee Zmolek seconded the motion Motion Approved Fox will submit a preliminary timeline to IDNR and come back to May Board meeting with design recommendations.

Bret Doerring asked manager to check with local banks as an alternative to financing project with the State Revolving Loan fund.

Lee Zmolek moved to approve the March Financials as presented.

Bret Doerring seconded the motion.

Motion Approved The manager presented the FY16-17 WaterWorks Operating Budget to the Board for final approval. Included in the budget is a recommended 5% rate adjustment.

The current projected revenues are $2,603,227 from water sales while sales were budgeted at $2,720,000 for FY15-16. A 5% rate adjustment would increase metered sales revenues to $2,735,166.

Gross Revenues are budgeted at $3,012,251.

Total budgeted operating expenses is estimated to be $2,587,145 with depreciation estimated at $300,000 for a gross total expense of $2,887,145.

Operating expenses include Water Treatment and Pumping$1,424,684, Distribution and Maintenance$554,595 Customer Accounting, Billing, and Collection-$356,296 and Administration- $251,570.

Board member Bret Doerring wondered if 5% rate adjustment was enough in order to maintain and grow cash reserve with some extraordinary expenses in the future. Palmer said that he would present a final rate proposal at the May Board meeting. Bret Doerring moved to approve the FY16-17 operating budget as presented.

Second: Lee Zmolek Motion Approved The manager presented a proposal from Unison to take over Sprint lease contract for tower antenna and would buy out existing contract.

All board members instructed manager to reject Unison offer.

Motion Approved Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level for April is 19.9'.

He pointed out that the unaccounted for water in February was 15%.

While the goal is 10% or less there was no major leaks found and the pumping from the plant to uptown did not indicate any major loss through the transmission mains. While there were several main breaks in March there was no significant water loss in the distribution system. Water loss will continue to be monitored. He also pointed out that hydrants would be flushed in April and might inflate the April water loss.

The manager presented an economic development update to the Board.

The next meeting will be held on Friday, May 27th 2016 at the Water Treatment Plant.

The meeting was adjourned.

TODAY! Astrograph

This one is for the dancers and the poets, the romantic souls, the ones who cook and nurture and take love into the realm of artistic expression. The sun and the moon are moving toward a harmonious position that will fully take hold tomorrow, and Neptune is reversing to increase the introspective energy available to all takers.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). Love isn’t fondness, duty or tolerance. Well, it is those things, but not only those things. It’s your time to discover deeper and unexplainable levels of love. The wounds of life allow this. Next month,

money will rain down on you -- or more likely, come in a fat envelope. August and December feature redemption. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 14, 38 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

“I’m going to step in; I’m going to take care,” the second in command will say. But you’re the first in command, and you’ll let everyone else know you’re large, in charge and handling it all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

How many different ways can you express your love? This

will be the question, and you’ll take a very specific (not a scattershot) approach and express it like no one else ever has.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you pass the torch and it’s still burning, it’s the responsibility of the next person to keep it burning still. You’ll be a torch passer, so pick your person well.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The uncanny incidents are just too coincidental for your comfort: Is someone trying to pull one over on you? If so, they picked the wrong mark.

Step back and take a long, hard look.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You think it takes a while to know a

person? Well, not so much. One look and 15 seconds can do 80 percent of the job. The rest will get done in a few interesting conversations tonight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Every moment is a chance to grow or an opportunity to retreat. What do you think today’s challenge is about? Which way would be more appropriate?

How should you fight the good fight?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The in-between spots are the worst.

So uncomfortable. You wish you were here or there, but you’re neither and you’re both.

Well, at least you’re you, with that pretty smile.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Taking liberties could make you a star or an outcast, depending on the situation. In the case of today, you’ll be driven to a more outrageous choice that could potentially help many while bringing you a glow of fame.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People sound different when they are under stress or in attraction-mode. Your attention to the subtleties will tip you off as to what is going on with someone close to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If your day had a mantra, it would be something along the lines of, “Tell me what I don’t already know.” And the good news is you’ll find it -- the nugget of information that lights up

your brain.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

As far as the people around you go, you may find that it’s harder to organize them to your purposes than you thought it would be. The fact is, no one will know your rhythm until you start banging the drum.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The most romantic people are the ones who feel their emotions keenly. It’s seen as a weakness in some places, a strength in others. So which arena are you in?

Big inning propels Mustangs past Gilbert

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe softball team used a big inning to defeat the Gilbert Tigers on Friday night.

The Mustangs plated eight runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and rallied past the Tigers, 10-8, during a home Heart of Iowa Conference contest.

But not even a conference win over a rival was good enough for the Mustangs.

“A win is a win, but I know we can do better,” junior Jayci Vos said.

Vos singled and scored in the fourth and walked and scored in both the fifth and sixth innings to lead the Mustang offense. She also stole a pair of bases, and it was her speed on the basepaths that helped PCM gain some momentum in the fifth inning.

“If I am not getting base hits, I better bust my butt getting to the bases,” Vos said.

The Mustangs improved to 3-5 in HOIC play. They are 6-7 overall, but Friday’s win wasn’t easy.

The Tigers (3-7, 2-5) took an early lead in the fourth with a pair of runs, but junior pitcher Kayla Jennings got out of a jam when her defense recorded a big double play.

Xary Nunez-Hiraldo singled and Tate Powers walked to put the first two runners of the inning on base.

Nunez-Hiraldo moved up two bases and then scored on a three wild pitches by Jennings.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Katie Vande Wall, right, tags out Gilbert’s Sydney Grouwinkel during the Mustangs’ 10-8 win Friday night in Monroe. Vande Wall hit an RBI double in an eight-run fifth inning and reached base four times in the victory.

Powers went to second on a fielder’s indifference and eventually reached third on a wild pitch. Another walk by Jennings put Sydney Grouwinkel on first base.

Sammy Grove popped out to third for the first out, but the inning ended when Riley Nelson flew out to center field, and Grouwinkel was thrown out at home trying to score on the fly ball.

Jennings got the win in the circle

for the Mustangs, but she walked six and hit two others. The Tigers only got three hits at the plate and scored five runs. Jennings fanned five, too.

Jennings helped herself out at the plate. Junior Brooke Nicholson and freshman Camryn Wignall began the eight-run fifth with back-to-back singles, and then Jennings tied the game with an RBI single. Jennings had another RBI single later in the fifth.

No. 10 Oskaloosa slips past Newton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Newton High’s Cardinal softball team went toe-to-toe with Class 4A No. 10 Oskaloosa Friday night in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The teams each tallied three runs in their halves of the third inning.

The hosting Indians had backto-back singles with one out in the seventh inning. A sacrifice bunt moved the runners for the second out of the inning. An error by second baseman Fran Lucas on a ball hit by Alexis Groet allowed the winning run to cross the plate as Oskaloosa edged Newton, 4-3.

“We need to learn to adjust and hit the ball,” Newton head coach

Kristina McNew said. “We have got to be more consistent and score when runners are on base.

We’ll learn from tonight.”

Newton was held to three hits in the game. They cashed in on two of those hits in the third innings. With one out, Kari Adams singled and Fran Lucas reached on an error then stole second base. Sydney Jenkins ripped a two-run double then scored on a passed ball.

In the bottom of the third, Oskaloosa turned a leadoff walk into two runs when Devan Welch hit a home run. Another walk issued

by Newton pitcher Anna Coyle put the tying run on with one out. Kylee Sillman connected for a two-out RBI double to drive in

Tournament Continued from Page 1B The Cardinals protected their 1-0 lead. Coyle pitched out of another twoon situation in the fourth inning with a strikeout. Coyle had nine strikeouts in the game and allowed nine hits.

In the fifth inning, senior Fran Lucas reached on an Eagle error, ending up at second base. Jenkins doubled down the third-base line to drive in a run and beat the throw in to third base. Karley Leiker’s fielder’s choice plated Jenkins for a 3-0 lead.

the third run.

The other hit in the game for Newton was a single by Audrey Lucas. Coyle allowed 10 hits walked three and had two strikeouts in the loss.

Newton is without the services of freshman pitcher Peyton Maher, who is sidelined with a leg injury.

The Cardinals are 9-5 overall and 2-2 in LHC play while the Indians improve to 10-2 overall and 2-2 in conference play.

Newton played in its own tournament Saturday. The Cardinals host 4A’s No. 13 Pella at 7:30 p.m.

Saydel connected for singles to center field with one gone in the sixth.

Coyle struck out the next batter and issued her only walk of the game to load the bases. The Eagles’ pinch-hitter Sophia Barton lined out to Fran Lucas at second base to end the threat and inning.

The Eagles got a single with two gone in the bottom of the seventh. Annelisee Barton hit a fly ball to shallow left field. Newton junior Harlie Durr came in to make the catch to retire the side and end the game.

Jenkins had a single and a double against Saydel while Karley Leiker and

Junior Abby Waddell also had an RBI single in the inning, and junior Katie Vande Wall drove in another with double to the fence. Junior Jaiden Rogers hit an RBI single two batters later. Gilbert helped the Mustangs’ cause with an error that led to another run.

Gilbert scored three runs on three bases-loaded walks in the sixth inning. The Tigers sent nine batters to the plate in the inning and eight batters strolled to the plate in the top of the seventh.

Chelbie Gillespie tossed the seventh for PCM, allowing two earned runs on four hits.

Vos had a one-out walk in the bottom of the sixth for the Mustangs. She stole second and then scored as Gilbert committed back-to-back errors.

Jennings had two hits, two RBIs, a walk and a run scored at the plate, while Nicholson also had two hits.

Grove had two hits for Gilbert, while Powers and Nelson scored two runs.

Kamryn Miller took the loss for Gilbert in the circle. She allowed nine runs on eight hits and struck out while walking two in 4 1/3 innings. Nelson tossed the final 1 2/3 innings, allowing one unearned run and no hits. She fanned three and walked one.

PCM returns to HOIC play at 7 p.m. Monday against Greene County in Monroe. The Mustangs play at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Roland-Story.

Hockey Continued from Page 3B for their third title. The game ended when Crosby cleared the puck the length of the ice with San Jose on the power play, setting off a wild celebration.

All that was left was for Crosby to accept the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP and then the Stanley Cup. “He’s a special player for a reason,” teammate Chris Kunitz said. “He can adapt and change his game to different things. Early in his career he went out and got points and did everything but that didn’t make him satisfied. He had to go out and lead through example and became a better player.”

Three nights after squandering a chance to become the first Pittsburgh team to win a title in front of the home fans in 56 years, the Penguins finished the job on the road just like they did in Minnesota (1991), Chicago (1992) and Detroit (2009) in past title runs.

Ryan each had two singles. Valtman and senior Kari Adams each had a single.

CMB led Des Moines Roosevelt 5-0, but the Roughriders tied the game with five unearned runs in the second inning. The Raiders were able to manufacture three runs in the sixth inning to take the lead for good, 8-5.

Abbey Kahler earned her fifth pitching victory of the season in the circle. She allowed nine hits and recorded seven strikeouts.

Eslinger connected for two singles and a double for the Raiders. Camp, Houge and Holly Jessen each hit two

singles. Husak, Abbey Kahler and Jurgens had a single apiece.

In the extra game against Benton, the Bobcats scored four runs in the second, one in the fourth and five more in the fifth for a run-rule shortened contest against CMB. Houge took the pitching loss, giving up 13 hits, issuing one walk and striking out four.

Jurgens doubled in the game. Eslinger, Houge and Holly Jessen each had a single.
