NCSD board adjusts budget Supplies might be affected; personnel not impacted

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Barry Jurgensen, second from left, wearing the wide-brim hat, is walking from Nebraska to Chicago to raise awareness about human trafficking. The Arlington, Neb. high school teacher has been joined by students and family members on his trek, and the group stayed overnight in Newton at the home of District Court Judge Terry Rickers, who is pictured on the far right, walking the final few miles into town with the group.

Nebraska man brings anti-trafficking cause through Jasper County

‘Walking Forever Free’ trek on its way to Chicago

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Barry Jurgensen has spent much of his energy in the past few years on a message Newton residents have been hearing more often recently.

Jurgensen, a high school history teacher in Arlington, Neb., is walking from Nebraska to Chicago to raise awareness about human trafficking through a project called “Walking Forever Free.” He has been joined by students, fellow teachers and family members on his trek, and the group stayed in Newton on Monday night at the home of District Court Judge Terry Rickers and his wife, Cathy.

Between the activities of New-

ton Says No to Human Trafficking and the discussion of the topic at local forums and in political and legislative activities, Jurgensen is marching through the heart of the movement to end the abusive and criminal practice.

“My hope is that we can get more people to fight it,” Jurgensen said during a brief water break Monday along Highway F48 between Colfax and Newton.

“Students and teachers need to be educated. The public needs to know many realities, including the truth that it is not only girls who are victimized.”

Jurgensen has a support vehicle following he and supporters.

His mother, Rhonda Pankau, was driving the vehicle, while his wife Jennifer, his brother Shane and Shane’s fianceé, and a recent Arlington High School graduate joined the walk.

Rickers joined the group for its final few miles of Monday’s walk into Newton to the Rickers home.

The group stayed Sunday night in Mitchellville, so Jurgensen and his companions covered about 18 miles Monday.

The weekend included a visit to West Des Moines’ Jordan House — one of the stops along the Underground Railroad — and to Des Moines.

The journey began in Nebraska City on June 1. Jurgensen hopes to reach Chicago by July 2. The charity element of his mission is to try and raise $25,000 for Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives through the walk’s website, found here: bit.ly/21iUBlt “When I first talked about the horrors of trafficking with administrators and colleagues, they said ‘We don’t think we can teach this,’” Jurgensen said. “But once we have them listen to survivor’s stories, their minds change real fast.”

Newton Community School District budget adjustments for Fiscal 2017 won’t affect personnel. In fact, all union employees in the district are receiving a raise.

However, the adjustments will affect supplies — possibly supplies used in classrooms.

Business Director Gayle Isaac and Superintendent Bob Callaghan led a discussion at Monday’s meeting about adjustments the district is making to the budget for Fiscal 2017, which begins on July 1 of this year, and detailed where cuts will be made to account for a discrepan-

cy of almost $205,000 between projected and actual compensation increases.

While $205,000 might sound like a small discrepancy to resolve for a district with a $38 million annual budget, finding savings without layoffs requires more of a nickel-and-dime approach, Callaghan explained. The superintendent mentioned some ideas for cuts in a budget workshop earlier this year, and reiterated some of those cuts Monday as part of a more formal part of the budget.

The discrepancy between projected and actual money available in the general fund comes from district business directors around the state having to create budgets without knowing how much union settlements will cost the district.

McGuire talks about taking Demolition starts at House back on tour stop former Juice and Junk

Iowa Democrat chair visits Jasper County

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Funding for public education, mental health, job creation and health care were some of the main topics that came up when Iowa Democrats met with a special guest Monday.

Dr. Andy McGuire, the chair of the Iowa Democratic Party, completed her 99-county tour of the state by coming to Jasper County on Monday. In a meeting with about 20 Democrats to discuss concerns and priorities at Uncle Nancy’s Coffeehouse & Eatery in Newton, McGuire talked about some of the aims and concerns of the party’s

leadership at the state level.

“I don’t think we need to tax more,” McGuire said. “I think we need to set priorities better and distribute tax money difMcGuire ferently.”

McGuire also talked heavily about the challenges of her party being in the minority in the Iowa House and only a majority by one member in the Iowa Senate. She said Republicans, including Gov. Terry Branstad, have taken several actions in the past couple years she called “irritating,” and emphasized the importance of winning back legislative seats in the November general election.

MCGUIRE | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Demolition work started early on Monday morning at the former Juice and Junk building. The city purchased the building and adjacent land in March and recently approved the sale of 1.2 acres to 4 G Properties to build a Hardee’s fast food restaurant.

Warm, dry weather help develop crops Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The warm temperatures and dry weather have aided crop development and allowed farmers to make hay, do some spraying and side-dress fertilizer. In general crops remain in good condition, but areas that have missed recent rains could use some moisture. Recent high temperatures and increased humidity can increase stress on livestock and farmers are working hard to keep animals comfortable,” Northey said.

Sunny and hot temperatures spurred growth and fieldwork progress during the week ending June 12.

Activities for the week included cutting and baling hay, spraying herbicides and side-dressing corn with nitrogen. Eighty percent of the corn crop was rated in good to excellent condition. Soybean planting reached 98 percent complete, two weeks ahead of last year. There were scattered reports of stress on livestock due to the heat and humidity.

Courtesy of Iowa State University The Iowa Department of Agriculture recently resumed its inspections of eggs. The farm inspections had been suspended since the start of last year’s bird flu outbreak.

IDALS follows federal lead on eggs Inspections resumed June 1

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Shortly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it would resume the egg inspections at farms that were suspended last year, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship announced it will do the same.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture announced in late May that it would resume inspections of state-inspected and approved egg handlers on June 1.

“Poultry farms and will continue to follow rigorous biosecu-

rity protocols as part of the inspections to help ensure animal health,” the department said in a statement. “All state inspectors have received additional training on appropriate biosecurity on visiting livestock.”

The (FDA) had previously announced it will resume inspection of federally licensed egg handling facilities starting on June 1.

Iowa inspectors observe egg handlers that package eggs from licensed facilities that house fewer than 3,000 birds. Larger houses, with 3,000 birds or more, and their packaging facilities are FDA-licensed and are subject to federal inspections.

The FDA temporarily suspended inspection of federal licensed facilities in spring 2015

during the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreak in Iowa and 20 other states. The Department echoed the directives of the FDA and also suspended inspections at that time.

This was done out of an abundance of caution to ensure that department employees would not serve as a potential source of disease spread, the statement said.

Egg farms are not a large component of Jasper County agriculture. In fact, the state lists only one county facility — Wild Rose Pastures of Reasnor — on its most updated roster of its 90 approved and regularly inspected egg handlers.

USDA unveils new improvement to streamline crop reporting Update lets farmers, ranchers report common acreage information once Department of Agriculture U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced that farmers and ranchers filing crop acreage reports with the Farm Service Agency and participating insurance providers approved by the Risk Management Agency now can provide the common information from their acreage reports at one office and the information will be electronically shared with the other location.

This new process is part of the USDA Acreage Crop Reporting Streamlining Initiative (ACRSI). This interagency collaboration also includes participat-

ing private crop insurance agents and insurance companies, all working to streamline the information collected from farmers and ranchers who participate in USDA programs.

“If you file your report at one location, the data that’s important to both FSA and RMA will be securely and electronically shared with the other location,” FSA Administrator Val Dolcini said. “This will avoid redundant and duplicative reporting, and we expect this to save farmers and ranchers time.”

“Accuracy in crop reporting is a key component for crop insurance, because an error in this information can

affect premiums or claims. This is going to greatly improve efficiencies and reduce mistakes,” said RMA Administrator Brandon Willis.

Since 2009, USDA has been working to streamline the crop reporting process for agricultural producers, who have expressed concerns with providing the same basic common information for multiple locations.

More than 93 percent of all annual reported acres to FSA and RMA now are eligible for the common data reporting, and USDA is exploring adding more crops. Producers must still visit both locations to validate and sign acreage reports, complete maps

or provide program-specific information. The common data from the firstfiled acreage report will now be available to pre-populate and accelerate completion of the second report. Plans are underway at USDA to continue building upon the framework with additional efficiencies at a future date.

The new customer self-service portal gives farmers and ranchers online access to securely view, print or export their personal farm data. To enroll in the online service, producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office for details.

Local & State News NCSD Continued from Page 1A Newton Schools will pay about $800,000 more in wages in 2016-17 than it is paying for 2015-16.

Budget cuts impact a wide variety of supplies, ranging from custodial supplies to campus and teacher budgets. Callaghan said the campus budgets will likely be cut in half, so the impact will be felt, but this will not impact all teachers in the same way.

The district will also save about $75,000 by drastically reducing color printing, Callaghan said.

“We’re talking about pencils and papers, in some cases,” Callaghan said. “But, keep in mind, some schools have teachers with a $100 supply budget for the whole year.”

The adjustments could not be done until all 2016-17 contracts were completed, including arbitration needed to resolve union contract compensation levels.

Isaac explained the district worked with an es-

timated figure of 2.5 percent for salary increases, needing to turn in a balanced budget to the state

by April 15 while contract negotiations were still ongoing.

The last of those sets of employees — secretaries, managers and administrators — had their contracts approved by the board Monday.

Secretaries will receive more than a 4 percent raise for 201617. Administrators will receive 2.25 percent.

Callaghan said he recommended the district’s 14 administrators take a zero percent raise, but principals said an increase that matches the state legislature’s increase in supplemental aid would help keep talented, experienced administrators in the district.

Monday’s meeting was held at Emerson Hough without the benefit of air conditioning.

Remodeling is in full swing, with move-out of relocating classrooms and other elements largely complete and replacement of HVAC components in progress.

Board Vice President Travis Padget ran Monday’s meeting. Board President Sheri Benson and board member Josh Cantu were not in attendance.

The board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for June 27. That will be the board’s first meeting in the newly remodeled E.J.H. Beard Administrative Center; Monday’s meeting was the board’s final regularly scheduled meeting at Emerson Hough.

In other action Monday, the board: • Heard from board member Donna Cook, who expressed concern about the wording of a fundraiser request from the Newton High School girls and boys swimming program. One of the stated intended uses of proceeds from planned annual poster sales would be to pay a diving coach for the girls team; fundraising is not typically done to support salaries or stipends for public school coaches.

• Heard a report from board member Ann Leonard about a recent School Improve-

ment Advisory Committee meeting, focusing on both committee membership and a survey to determine why about 120 students have open-enrolled out of the district. Leonard asked if the board could give SIAC more direction about a survey, but Callaghan pointed out the intent of the committee is for SIAC to make recommendations to the board.

Leonard said there have been student positions on SIAC the committee would like to fill early in the 2016-17 school year.

My water babies

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

A

s a kid, I spent more time at the local pool during the summer than anywhere else. My blonde hair turned green from the chlorine and I had a huge supply of SPF 50 sunscreen to keep my pale, sensitive skin safe.

I have never been uncomfortable near water and didn’t really know what that meant until I met my husband, who while able to swim, doesn’t like to leave an area where he can’t touch.

Since the girls were born, I haven’t shied away from putting them in pools.

I would much rather they be comfortable in the water than see it as a scary place to be avoided.

We started out with the baby pool that was shaped as a frog and had a canopy to protect them from the sun. We clapped and cheered as the girls would kick their legs and splash around in the water.

My parents also have an above ground pool we had the girls in to get use to larger bodies of water. Always with floaties on, we at first held the girls to get them used to the feeling then let them float around learning the ways of the water.

Thankfully, both of my girls love the water and can’t wait for the pool to go up every summer. Even when it

was freezing cold after first being filled, they hopped in until their lips began to turn blue and we decided it was time to get out.

The girls are different swimmers, each finding their way through the water in a personal way. My oldest went through a phase of being scared, much to my dismay, and would cling to the edge or the ladder the entire time.

As the water warmed up and she sprouted up a few inches, she became more comfortable. She mostly only wears her floatie because it is fun to float on and has started dunking her whole head underwater.

My youngest has always been fearless, and a daredevil, and the same is true in the pool. We caught her on more than one occasion trying to put the ladder in the pool so she could climb, sometimes even before she had a swimsuit on.

She would much prefer not to wear

her floatie, even before she could touch without her head above water. Her newest trick is being able to jump into the water, climbing one step at a time to increase the thrill.

To get the girls going on the right track for swim strokes, I’m planning to enroll them in swim lessons at the local pool. I taught swim lessons while I worked as a lifeguard at multiple pools but I feel someone else teaching the girls might be better.

I hope they continue to love swimming as much as I did and maybe someday compete on a swim team, which wasn’t an option while I was in school.

For now, I love watching them get excited about new tricks they can do in the pool and can’t wait to see them how they will grow next.

Want an orange soda?

Good luck I like orange soda. I like grape, too.

It’s something an 8-year-old boy would like, and it embarrasses me sometimes. At the newspaper where I work, the newsroom is full of guys drinking energy drinks ad sports drinks and coconut water and pomegranate nectar. Me, I got a 12-ounce glass bottle of Fanta Grape on my desk.

I like the Mexican Fanta, too. The Mexican one is sweeter and grapier. Apparently, sweet soda is like cocaine now. The cartel has to mule it in from below the border. Donald Trump’s wall is probably going to put a stop to that and I’ll end up drinking that flavored seltzer, the kind that says “grape” on the bottle but has only a suggestion of grape flavor. The grape-flavored seltzer is like the cocaine they sell in suburban high schools compared with the cocaine they sell in bad neighborhoods.

It’s likewise in the stores, too. Forget the big “convenience” stores, where they’ve got a wall full of Guava Energy Triple X Energy Fizz, but you can’t get a bottle of orange soda.

You wanna get the real grape and orange soda?

If you do, you gotta go to a corner store in a crappy neighborhood. In those stores, the owner’s not from America, they sell single cigarettes from under the counter and you can buy Fourth of July fireworks, illegally, in February.

Here’s a tip: If the store has an “EBT Welcome” sign in the window and they sell those cheap cigarettes that burn real fast, they’ll have real orange soda, in a glass bottle.

If the store has a counter designed to be too high for robbers to jump over and sells toilet paper one roll at a time, they’re gonna have grape soda.

In fact, the second kind of store will have grape cigars. They’ll also have grape bubble gum, grape vodka, grape Popsicles and grape incense. There is apparently a great need among the urban poor to experience the wonders of artificial grape flavoring. It’s not an ethnic thing, either. Grape-flavored anything is equally popular in poor black, poor white and poor Hispanic neighborhoods.

Orange and grape soda were socially acceptable when I was young. That’s how I got started. Back then, people would give the stuff to kids. Parents today fear the “sugar rush.” When I was a boy, if you got all cranked up on soda, your old man just told you to go outside and play. Sometimes, he’d throw you half a buck, and you’d go down to the corner and get another soda.

These days, parents with a degree in marketing and shaky non-union jobs are funneling acai berry juice into their kids, while I’m forced into an increasingly dangerous series of lousy neighborhoods, just to get a bottle of the sweet stuff from Mexico.

They used to sell grape soda in every working-class neighborhood. Of course, when was the last time you saw a working-class neighborhood?

Gagging on the gig economy No doubt you’ll be thrilled to learn that we now live and work in a “gig economy.”

That’s the latest corporate buzzphrase from Silicon Valley.

CEOs there are hailing a Brave New Workplace in which we lucky worker bees no longer have to be stuck in traditional jobs with traditional hours — or traditional middle-class pay scales, traditional benefits, traditional job security, and all those other fusty “traditions” of the old workplace.

In fact, in the gig economy, you don’t even get a workplace. Rather, you’re “liberated” to work in a series of short-term jobs in many places. And instead of being stuck in a 9-to-5, you’ll always be oncall through a mobile app on your smart phone or through a temp agency.

Another View Jim Hightower How exciting is that?

Nerve-wracking is more like it. The gig economy means you’re on your own — you’re not an employee, but an “independent contractor,” with no rights and no union.

You might have lots of calls to work this week, but then many weeks with no calls at all. And don’t get sick or injured, because there’s no health care or workers’ comp provided. Forget about a pension — your retirement plan is called “adios chump.”

This “alternative work arrange-

ment” isn’t a futuristic concept — it’s already here and spreading fast. According to one study, some 16 percent of U.S. workers are now in this on-call, temporary, parttime, low-pay, you’re-on-yourown economy — up from only 10 percent a decade ago.

Backed by the economists and politicians they purchase, corporate chieftains are creating what they call a workforce of non-employees for one reason: greed. It directly transfers more money and power from workaday families into the coffers of moneyed elites.

Their gig economy is aptly named, for “gigs” are crude fourhook fishing devices. They’re dragged by commercial fleets through schools of fish to impale them, haul them in, and cash in on the pain.

Confiscating phones may teach surly teens to show respect DEAR ABBY: I’m the mother of two teenagers, ages 13 and 15. I am trying to teach them to do chores and help around the house, but all I get is attitude from them.

I try to explain that I didn’t grow up with a dishwasher and I washed all the dishes by hand. Well, now that we have a dishwasher, they don’t want to load or unload it either! I try not to spoil my kids, but I guess it’s too late. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I just do the chores myself.

What am I doing wrong as a parent?

My kids are either on their iPhone or iPad or Xbox. They have a better childhood than I ever had, but they don’t understand. It’s hurtful when their response is “Let me live,” or “You don’t understand anything,” or “I can’t wait to get out of the house and get away from you!” This is very hurtful, and I guess I just needed to vent to someone other than my husband. Thanks for letting me. — STRESSED-OUT MOM DEAR MOM: You’re welcome.

Now, may I offer a suggestion? You should not be doing your teenagers’ chores for them. Instead, start instituting consequences if they shirk their responsibilities. An effective consequence would be to confiscate their iPhone, iPad or Xbox if the chores aren’t done when they’re supposed to be. And if they talk disrespectfully to you — ditto!

DEAR ABBY: My son’s fiancee set their wedding date without asking me if I could make it. I recently took a job on the West Coast. As a campground manager and new employee, I can’t get time off Labor Day weekend to fly back to the East Coast for the wedding. (Labor Day is one of the big summer holidays for campgrounds.)

His fiancee has done other hurtful things in the past, and I can’t help but doubt it was an oversight that I wasn’t consulted before their wedding date was set. When I tried to talk to my son about it, I received the anticipated hos-

tility I usually get from him.

My question to you is, should I pay for their caterer? I have given this son so much money over the years that I can’t help but believe he’s a user. Advice, please. — EXCLUDED OUT WEST DEAR EXCLUDED: If your son had wanted you to be at his wedding, you would have been consulted before the date was set. His fiancee didn’t consult you because that is probably the way your son wanted it. Under the circumstances, you should not pay for any of the wedding expenses. If you feel you must do something, send them a congratulatory card wishing them “a lifetime of happiness together.” Period.

DEAR ABBY: If I am standing in line waiting for a friend to arrive at a store that’s about to open for a sale, when my friend arrives, is it OK for her to join me where I’ve been holding the spot, or should we move to the back of the line so customers behind us don’t feel like she is butting in? — NO BUTTS ABOUT IT DEAR NO BUTTS: Lines for sales can be long, and people sometimes wait many hours to get into the stores.

According to Emily Post, “Courteous people never break into line.” It might be diplomatic to ask the person standing in back of you if he or she minds if your friend joins you. Some might object; others not.

Judge Michael Shubatt issued the decision last week in the case involving Leo Simon, owner of Simon Seeding & Sod, and Jermaine Stapleton, who is black.

Stapleton filed a complaint with the Dubuque Human Rights Commission alleging Simon harassed and discriminated against him because of his race.

Authorities ID man whose body was found in river

DENISON — Two Denison residents have been killed in the collisions of three vehicles near Denison in western Iowa.

Branstad wants regents to consider deal on tuition DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad says he wants the board that governs Iowa’s three public universities to consider a compromise pitched by student leaders that would lower some proposed tuition increases. Branstad told reporters Monday that student leaders at the University of Iowa offered a “reasonable compromise” to what has been discussed by the Iowa Board of Regents. The board is considering a $300 increase for resident undergraduate students at all three state universities.

Newton Airport looking to update master plan

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To stay current with Federal Aviation Administration standards, the city is applying for a grant to update the Newton Municipal Airport Master Plan. The master plan was last updated in 2000 with the Airport Layout Map updated in 2006-2007.

“The Master Plan for the Newton Municipal Airport needs to be updated to account for changes the FAA has made regarding operational and safety standards of airports,” city administrator Bob Knabel said. “Also, an updated plan would incorporate changes at the airport including changes in the airport use since 2000.”

Updates to the master plan, including the airport layout map, are typically done every eight to 15 years and will bring the airport into compliance with current operation and safety standards.

It involves a planning study to quantify operational date, make forecasts, identify critical design aircraft, quantify facility require-

ments and prepare an implementation plan.

The update is needed to verify conformance with current airport design standards that have occurred since 2006, and accurately reflect Knabel existing airport features that have changed since 2006, including multiple apron expansions. It will also review a potential runway extension in conjunction with aviation operations as a result of the adjacent Iowa Speedway race track.

Additionally, environmental issues will be considered during the process to define potential further environmental review requirement and may identify the need for an Environmental Assessment document. The Environment Assessment is not a part of the scope of the master plan and would be addressed separately if required.

“Any future expansion or projects we do out here, the FAA wants to see that when they give to projects they fit into some sort of plan and that we are thinking ahead,” President of Johnson Aviation Ethan Nasalroad said. “What is the next logical step for safety codes, possible expansions and keeping up on repairs.”

City council approved Clapsaddle-Garber Associates, Inc. of Marshalltown to perform the master plan update at a cost of $229,275. If awarded, the FAA grant would pay for 90 percent of $206,348 of the projected costs.

The city would then contribute $22,927 to complete the project.

Those funds would be provided by the 2015 bond proceeds.

The approval of the CGA agreement is contingent upon receiving the FAA grant. The master plan update is anticipated to take approximately one year to complete.

Disincorporation plan prompts questions in Mount Union MOUNT UNION (AP) — About 20 people gathered Sunday in the tiny southeast Iowa community of Mount Union to discuss what will happen if the city disincorporates.

The residents gathered at the informal town hall meeting had questions about how much money Mount Union has, how it will be spent if the city dissolves and what services will be lost, according to The Hawk Eye (http://bit.ly/1trJg87).

Last month, the City Council took the first step toward disincorporation by passing a resolution of intent to discontinue functioning as a city. The move came as the city of about 100 people struggles to pay the debt for a sewer system.

Although the sewer debt prompted much of the disincorporation discussion, Council member Randy Wilkerson, who organized the meeting, said he’d been told by state officials that the community would remain on the hook for the debt.

The matter has led to hard feelings, and deputies escorted a former mayor out of last month’s meeting, where the council voted to begin the disincorporation process.

If the city dissolves, Wilkerson said city assets would be sold, with the money going to pay down debt. The move also would end street-side garbage pickup, and snow removal would be done on the county’s schedule.

“There’s only one advantage to unincorporating, and that would be the mayor and City Council are gone,” Wilkerson said.

Corrections board hires warden not knowing of OWI arrests The Associated Press DES MOINES — The Iowa Department of Corrections has acknowledged it didn’t tell the board that oversees the agency about two drunken driving convictions on the record of the man it recommended to serve as warden for the state’s prison in Fort Dodge.

Top officials with the department were aware Robert A. Johnson had been arrested

for drunken driving in 1991 and 2008, but didn’t see a need to tell the Board of Corrections because the incidents were not recent, Assistant Director Fred Scaletta said.

“It just really wasn’t relevant, because it would have no bearing on whether he would qualify or not,” Scaletta said.

Department of Corrections Director Jerry Bartruff recommended Johnson and the board voted to hire him on May 6.

Board member John Chalstrom, a school administrator from Sioux City, said he defers to the department’s management to investigate employee backgrounds.

“Their processes are sound,” he said. “If they feel that an individual has the appropriate qualifications and expertise, then they will have my full support.”

Critics said the board should have been told about the drunken driving record.

Coming June 20

“The board has responsibility for the staff and for the policies of the Department of Corrections,” said Jean Basinger, a leader of Citizens United for the Reform of Errants, a prison reform group. “If they just trust the staff to make the decisions, then there is no point in having a Board of Corrections.”

Johnson, 53, was hired as a correctional officer in 1989 for the state prison in Rockwell City. After several promotions,

he spent the last 13 years as deputy prison superintendent.

He acknowledged the arrests in Carroll County and said he served some jail time and fulfilled all court requirements.

“I didn’t make very good decisions at that time, and I learned from it,” Johnson told the Des Moines Register. “I promised my family and myself and my employer that I was going to change, and I changed from that day forward.”

Newton’s Knoll signs to row for Wichita State

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Rowing ... you talking about rowing?

Yes, indeed the talk is about women’s collegiate rowing.

Newton High senior Kaelee Knoll signed a letter of intent Monday to compete in rowing for Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan. Knoll competed as a varsity swimmer and runner in track for Newton High. She has no experience or background in the sport of rowing.

“It seemed really interesting when I saw the Des Moines rowing club on the news last year. I wasn’t able to be a part of it, but it kind of seemed like a combination of swimming and track, which have been my two main sports in high school,” Knoll said Monday.

She said rowing was a sport where she could still be on the water and have all the cardio of running. Rowing fascinated her, Knoll said.

Knoll didn’t go searching for a college to try the sport of rowing. She was researching out-of-state universities for her major of bio-medical engineering, which Wichita State offered.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Off on a new adventure will be Newton High senior Kaelee Knoll after Monday’s signing of a letter of intent to compete for the women’s rowing team at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan. Knoll knows swimming and track, but is ready to learn a new sport. On hand for the signing were Knoll’s parents, Robin and Mike Knoll and her brother, Jacob.

“I didn’t look at the rowing team at Wichita State until I decided on going there for my academics. It feels a lot like Des Moines in Wichita,” Knoll said. “I contacted the rowing coach, and he had me fill out their recruit form. I just kept talking to him.”

Persistence paid off for Knoll. She said she updated the Shocker rowing coach with how she was doing academically and athletically at Newton High.

The Shocker rowing teams are coached by Calvin Cupp, who is in his 16th year as head

coach at WSU. There are varsity and novice rowing teams for the women and men.

“Coach Cupp sent me an email. He said between my academic success, my competitive drive as a varsity athlete in swimming and track, and my interest in the sport,

I was one he wanted to offer a scholarship,” Knoll said.

“When I read that at bottom of the email, I was super excited and I screamed.”

Knoll and her parents went to Wichita State last week for student orientation. She said they took in all that is Shocker Rowing.

“It’s a lot more complicated than I thought it was, especially for the coxswain — the people who yell out commands in the boats,” Knoll said. “Carrying the boats down to the river is more than just carrying them down there. There’s a process.”

Knoll said she was excited to be discovering a new sport, learning the language of rowing and taking on the challenge of learning the sport from the bottom up. She said she plans to compete for a rowing position not a coxswain spot.

Knoll was a member of the Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella Aquagirls swim team all four years at Newton High and ran track for the Cardinals. She is the daughter of Robin and Mike Knoll of Newton.

Newton upends No. 13 Pella softball team

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Getting mobbed at home plate by her Newton High Cardinal teammates is senior Kari Adams (6) who hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning of Monday’s home Little Hawkeye Conference game against No. 13 Pella. Newton toppled the Lady Dutch, 8-1.

One mistake in a close game can open the flood gates. That is what happened Monday night in a Little Hawkeye Conference softball contest between Newton High’s Cardinals and the Class 4A No. 13 Pella Lady Dutch.

The visiting Lady Dutch committed an error with one out in the third inning allowing Newton’s Fran Lucas to reach safely. Newton followed it up with four straight hits to drive in three runs.

Sydney Jenkins singled and Karley Leiker’s double drove in two runs. Taylor Ryan had a base hit followed up by an RBI single by Emily Valtman.

The Cardinals went on to topple the ranked Lady Dutch, 8-1, to improve to 3-2 in LHC play. Newton is 12-5 overall.

Pella fell to 8-8 and 0-5 in conference.

“We achieved all our goals tonight. We were aggressive and scored when the opportunities were there,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said.

“This was a great team effort.”

Kennedy Leiker led off the fourth inning with a single for SOFTBALL | 8B

Pella deals out LHC losses to Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High head baseball coach Dustin Brisel said he sounds like a broken record.

“When we start hitting the ball, we’ll win,” Brisel said again after a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader loss at home Monday against Class 3A thirdranked Pella. “The boys are working hard at the plate, and we put the ball in play tonight. We just didn’t string hits together to score runs.”

In the opener, the Cardinals had five hits

on a 3-1 loss to the visiting Little Dutch. Connor Gholson took the pitching loss, going the distance on the mound for the Cardinals.

“Connor threw well, and we played solid defense behind him. Pella hits the ball well and finds the gaps, which is why it is one of the top teams in the state right now,,” Brisel said.

Pella’s ace senior Grant Judkins, who is heading to the University of Iowa to play, was on the mound in the second game. Judkins limited the Cardinals two hits, issued two walks and

struck out nine in a 6-1 win for the Dutch.

“We scratched out a run against Judkins. It was good for our guys to have the opportunity to face a Division I pitcher like this,” Brisel said.

Judkins helped himself with a three-run home run over the right field fence in the first inning against Newton starter Brennen Dodd.

Pella scored single runs in the third, fourth and sixth innings.

Dodd went five innings for the loss, giving up five runs on six hits BASEBALL | 8B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Scooping up the ball is Newton High second baseman Tyler Stanton to retire a Pella batter during Monday’s first game of a doubleheader at Newton’s Eversman Field.

Third-ranked Pella beat Newton 3-1 and 6-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Brown struck out 11, scattered six hits and gave up two unearned runs in the seventh inning. He is now 4-0 on the season with an earned run

average of 1.88. Brown has 30 strikeouts and just four walks on the season.

After the Rams (3-8 overall, 1-6 in the HOIC) tied the game in their final at-bat, Hill came through with the walkoff hit.

Hill had two hits in the game, including a double, while junior Braden Phifer improved his season batting average to .364 with another two hits. Phifer also had two RBIs in the win.

Seniors Clay Cooper and Tyler Foster both had one run and one hit, freshman Bray-

ton Van Dyke and sophomore Noah Henkenius each had a hit and junior Sheldon Speers scored a run as a courtesy runner.

PCM (6-8, 5-4) out-hit the Rams 8-6 in the game, but Greene County tied it in the seventh with the help of Mustang miscues.

The Mustangs had three errors in the game.

PCM hosts Colfax-Mingo (9-5) at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Jennings’ big night leads PCM past Rams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Junior Kayla Jennings went 4-for-4 with a home run at the plate and earned the win in the circle against defending HOIC champion Greene County on Monday.

The Mustangs won a back-and-forth affair, 7-6.

The Mustangs led 4-3 in the fifth inning, but the Rams rallied to take a 6-5 lead in the sixth.

Jennings doubled in the bottom of the sixth and then scored on a Waddell RBI single. Rogers drove in the winning run with an RBI double to left field.

Jennings struck out seven in the circle and evened her record to 6-6 on the season. Her home run at the plate was Jennings’ second of the season.

Gillespie was 1-of-2 at the plate with an RBI. The Mustangs improved their overall record to 8-8. They drew even with Greene County in the HOIC standings at 4-5.

The Mustangs play at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Roland-Story.

They host South Hamilton at 7 p.m.

Wednesday.

Mustangs finish 1-2 at E-B-F Tournament EDDYVILLE — All four runs in PCM’s 4-3 softball win over Sigourney came in the first inning as the Mustangs defeated the Savages at the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont tournament on Saturday.

The Mustangs went 1-2 on the day, defeating Sigourney after losing to Centerville and the host Rockets, who are ranked fifth in Class 2A. PCM lost 9-1 to E-B-F and was defeated 5-3 by Centerville.

locker room, but thousands of fans had already made for the exits minutes earlier.

“Now, mind you, to repeat a performance like this would definitely be tough, but whatever it takes to win,” Irving said.

Cleveland handed Golden State just its fourth defeat all season at sold-out Oracle Arena, denying MVP Stephen Curry and the Warriors a chance to celebrate another championship with their golden-clad “Strength In Numbers” supporters. Now, Curry and Co. must try to win on the road, just the way the Warriors did last year and also in their only other championship season out West in 1975.

The Warriors will get Green back Thursday as they try again for that repeat title.

Banned from the arena, Green watched from a baseball suite in the Oakland Coliseum next door, joined by Golden State general manager Bob Myers.

The All-Star forward was suspended Sunday for his fourth flagrant point of the postseason. He was assessed a retroactive Flagrant-1 for his swipe at James in the fourth quarter of Friday’s Game 4.

Tied 61-all at halftime Monday, the Warriors missed 14 of their first 20 shots out of intermission and shot 7 for 24 in the third as James and the Cavs grabbed command by doing all of the little things on both ends of the floor — the very intangibles Golden State desperately missed without Green’s high-energy presence on both ends. James jumped in the passing lanes to create defensive havoc, flipped passes around and got open.

Klay Thompson scored 37 points with six 3-pointers and Curry added 25 points with five 3s, seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots.

MLB STANDINGS Troy Hyde/Prairie City News Prairie City-Monroe junior Kayla Jennings had four hits and a home run and also earned the win in the circle against Greene County on Monday in Monroe.

Freshman Maya Hegwood got her first varsity win when she allowed five hits and one earned run in the victory over Sigourney. She also walked two in her five innings.

Sophomore Kenzie Johnson also pitched the final two innings, allowing two runs on three hits.

At the plate, the Mustangs were held to four hits. Freshman Camryn Wignall led the way with one hit, one run and one RBI, while junior Jayci Vos had one hit, one run and a stolen base.

Freshman Avery Stock and Gillespie had the other two hits, and Stock also had an RBI. Wignall and Vos again led the Mustangs at the plate in the loss to Centerville (10-7).

Wignall finished with two of the team’s four hits and also had one run and one RBI, while Vos tallied one hit, one walk, two RBIs and one stolen base.

Junior Courtney Bridges had the other hit, and junior Brooke Nicholson and freshman Anna Shaver each scored a run. Nicholson walked twice in the game.

Hegwood (1-1) took the loss in the circle, allowing four earned runs on nine hits with three walks.

The 2A No. 4 Rockets (144) plated three in the first and six in the third to run away with the win. PCM plated its lone run in the sixth.

The Mustangs once again had four hits. Jennings contributed two of those hits and scored the lone run, while Waddell doubled and Wignall had the other hit.

Gillespie (1-1) was the losing pitcher. She allowed six earned runs, nine hits and five walks in six innings. She struck out two.

Scherzer, Nats too much for Cubs WASHINGTON (AP) — Max Scherzer retired the first 16 batters he faced and threw seven innings of two-hit ball, striking out 11 in a pitching masterpiece that carried the Washington Nationals past the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Monday night.

Scherzer’s bid for his third career no-hitter ended with one out in the sixth when Addison Russell homered on a 3-2 pitch.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Booed every time he touched the ball, LeBron James cut through Golden State’s defense and made layups look easy. Dunks and 3-pointers, so smooth, too.

And Kyrie Irving also completely had his way with the Warriors.

King James and Irving thoroughly overpowered the defending champions from every spot on the floor, and the Cavaliers are still alive to chase that elusive championship.

The unflappable, determined-as-ever James had 41 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, Irving also scored 41 points and Cleveland capitalized on the absence of suspended star Draymond Green, staving off NBA Finals elimination with a 11297 victory in Game 5 on Monday night.

“We had a mindset that we wanted to come here and just extend our period and have another opportunity to fight for another day,” James said.

“That was our main concern, and we were able to do that.”

James and Irving became the first teammates to score 40 points in an NBA Finals game as the Cavaliers pulled within 3-2 and sent their best-of-seven series back to Ohio.

Afterward, sitting side by side on the podium, they offered back-and-forth shoutouts, with James noting of Irving, “It’s probably one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen live.”

Take that, haters. James has much more to say about these playoffs before he’s done — and not with his mouth, even as the criticism came from all directions following his Game 4 tussle with Green and reaction to what he considered the Golden State forward’s inappropriate words.

James was booed again as the Cavs left the court for their

Facing the team with the best record in the majors, Scherzer became the 26th pitcher in baseball history to have 40 games with at least 10 strikeouts. He has won three straight starts.

Wilson Ramos hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning for the NL East-leading Nationals.

Royals 2, Indians 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

— Whit Merrifield hit his first career homer, Edinson Volquez tossed seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball and Kansas City beat Cleveland to end a five-game skid against the Indians.

Alcides Escobar drove in a run for the Royals, who have won three in a row after an eight-game losing streak.

They also won their seventh consecutive game at Kauffman Stadium.

The dialogue will begin under this Gemini sky and keep going on until the issues are hashed out. Most importantly, the people involved will be satisfied by the exchange of love and respect that comes with each argument. This is how intimacies are established between people who would otherwise never know one another. This is how strangers unite.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). Family celebrates you, and an adventure with your kin will kick off this solar return. Next month produces an idea to run with. There will be two cash-out points, one in August and one at

the end of September. Reinvest.

It’s worth your time and the best of your attention. November and February show you richer.

Aries and Pisces adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 40, 33, 39 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Boundaries are set for so many reasons -- property, communication, fear, etc. There doesn’t always need to be a reason to draw a line, and yet there is one now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your job will continue to be difficult if you don’t ask for help.

So ask for help. Many capable

people surround you, all of whom are looking forward to being able to support you in some way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Maybe “tree hugger” is a hippy stereotype, but there is real logic to wanting to wrap your arms around nature. The natural world connects people in a way that nothing else can. Get into it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It is good to be able to represent to yourself and others that you are not afraid, that you will make a difference and that you are completely able to stand up for your beliefs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one who challenges you isn’t

sure about your strength, but he or she will be soon. These are the kinds of tests that bring about your finest moments of personal fortitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The idea that “everything” could hinge on one thing is usually an overstatement. But today it rings true in some way. Your “everything” -- that is, however you feel about yourself -- becomes magnified. Take an inventory of your best attributes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The thing about it is that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. That is the way it goes in the song, and the way it goes in real life, too -- for the clueless ones. Not you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You like to learn -- need to, even -- and learn you do. Today will bring you the entire scope of the lesson up front so that you can decide what to do with the fallout of this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Your friend has been calling you, and you have been less available than usual. Circumstances -- that’s the long and short of it. But all of those situations will clear up very nearly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A difference of views will occur -- strengths and weaknesses will be pointed out. It’s nothing that you don’t know already; this is an ongoing argument. But past today it won’t go on much longer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

What is to be said for a person who can’t deliver what you want? You can only have respect for the intention if it’s followed up by action. Yours will be the first and the last move, so think it through very carefully.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who respects you has good reason. Now what do you think that reason might be? Investigate it. You’re great.

Why don’t you know this about yourself already?

Hawk teams in second place with wins at Iowa Valley

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARENGO — Lynnville-Sully’s baseball and softball teams are staying in the thick of the South Iowa Cedar League conference races.

After dropping their season and conference opener, the Hawk girls have won seven straight in SICL play. Their seventh conference win came on the road Monday against host Iowa Valley. The Hawks won 4-1.

The Lynnville-Sully softball team is 7-1 in SICL action, sitting in second place behind Colfax-Mingo, which is 8-2.

Also in second place is Lynville-Sully’s baseball team following a 7-4 decision Monday over host Iowa Valley. The Hawk boys took an extra inning to win as the teams were locked in a 3-3 tie after seven innings.

“There was a three-way tie for first place in the SICL baseball race and two of those teams were Iowa Valley and us,” Lynnville-Sully baseball head coach Bob Scandridge said. “This was a big win for the kids and our baseball program.”

Lynnville-Sully trailed Iowa Valley 2-1 through five innings. Carson Dunsbergen started a two-out rally with a double in the sixth inning.

Carson Dunsbergen moved to third on a balk and scored the tying run on a passed ball.

The Hawks took the lead when Dylan Rozenboom singled, stole second and came home on a base hit by Kobe Fisk. The Tigers scratched back in their half of the sixth to plate the tying run, for a 3-3 deadlock.

Scandridge said the Hawks

Softball Continued from Page 1B Newton. Kari Adams hammered out her first home run of the season — a two-run shot over the left field fence.

In the fifth, Rylee Slycord took a Kinzi Van Wyk pitch deep over the fence to put Newton up 6-0.

The Cardinals scored two more times in the sixth.

Jenkins singled and quickly found her way to third on two stolen bases. Jenkins scored on a one-out sacrifice fly by Ryan. Valtman doubled and scored on a single by Audrey Lucas.

Newton’s Anna Coyle had gotten out of several jams in the game and had no trouble in the seventh inning with the Lady Dutch.

She recorded two strikeouts and got a ground-out to end the game.

Coyle scattered four hits over seven innings of work, walked two and struck out six for the win.

Van Wyk took the loss

Baseball Continued from Page 1B and six walks. Dodd struck out two. Josh Gulling pitched two innings in relief, charged with one run on one hit and five walks.

Gholson had the two hits, both singles, for Newton against Judkins. In the sixth inning, Newton trailed 6-0 when Gulling reached on a two-out error. Duncan Lee drew a walk, and Gholson hit an RBI single.

In the opener, Pella struck first with a run in the top of the first inning. Newton matched it in the bottom of the third frame.

Lee connected for a twoout double and Keith Steinback went in as a courtesy runner for Lee. Gholson delivered an RBI single. Pella

The Lady Dutch produced their run in the sixth.

Creator closes out Triple Crown with upset in Belmont Stakes NEW YORK (AP) — The finish was dramatic, even without a Triple Crown on the line.

Creator found an opening in the stretch and ran down Destin in the final stride to win the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes by a nose — the closest possible margin of victory. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., pointed to the sky in an appropriate winning salute given the horse’s name.

“Today was perfect for us, by inches,” said Steve Asmussen, who will be inducted into racing’s Hall of Fame this summer at Saratoga.

“Being the victor of the Belmont Stakes will look good on that plaque.”

The 50-year-old trainer has won more than 7,300 races, including the Preakness with champions Curlin in 2007 and Rachel Alexandra in 2009. He was taken off the Hall of Fame ballot last year, though, because of allegations made by PETA about the way he treated his horses. He was later cleared by racing authorities in Kentucky and New York.

The 1 1/2-mile “Test of the Champion” wrapped up the Triple Crown a year after American Pharoah’s run to glory in becoming the first horse in 37 years to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. A different horse won each leg this time — Nyquist took the Derby and Exaggerator won the Preakness.

This was Creator’s day, a hot, sticky one at Belmont Park with temperatures in the mid80s. The attendance announced by the New York Racing Association late Saturday night was 60,114, far below the 90,000 that showed up last year.

Exaggerator, the 7-5 favorite in the field of 13, raced well back in the pack. He moved into contention at one point but just didn’t have his usual finishing kick. He wound up 11th.

A 3-year-old gray colt, Creator came flying down the stretch as Destin tried to hang on to the lead. He almost made it, but settled for second with Japan-based Lani a closing third.

“I’m glad to see him put that number up;

they came to the wire together,” Asmussen said of the Creator-Destin showdown. “Irad gave him a dream trip. The horse ran super.”

The winning time for the 1 1/2 miles was 2:28.51. The first three finishers were gray colts.

Governor Malibu was fourth, followed by Stradivari, Brody’s Cause, Cherry Wine, Gettysburg, Suddenbreakingnews, Trojan Nation, Exaggerator, Seeking the Soul and Forever d’Oro. Creator was one of several closers in the field, and the race set up perfectly for him.

Gettysburg was a late addition to the field.

Both are owned by WinStar Farm and trained

by Asmussen, with Gettysburg a front-runner who set the stage for the thrilling finish.

After leading the field early on, Gettysburg dropped back after a mile and Destin took charge into the stretch. With Ortiz urging him on, Creator stormed into contention after running near the back of the pack and won for the third time in 10 career starts. Ortiz, one of the nation’s leading riders, won his first Triple Crown race.

“He was calm and I just waited for somewhere to go,” Ortiz said. “When he got clear, he started running.”

Unlike Exaggerator.

Kent Desormeaux, the Hall of Fame rider aboard the colt, second-guessed his decision to ask Exaggerator to wait behind the pace. When he tried to make a move, the horse trained by his brother, Keith, just didn’t have it.

“I don’t know if there would have been any difference in the outcome,” Kent Desormeaux said. “When I picked him up at the quarter-pole to try and win the race, there was nothing there.”

Exaggerator and Lani were the only horses who ran in all three Triple Crown races. Lani improved each time, running ninth in the Derby and fifth in the Preakness.

“He was in very good condition, and the distance was good,” Lani’s jockey Yutaka Take said.
