Projects proposed for Downtown Micro-Grants

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Two Downtown Micro-Grant Program projects are on the agenda for Monday’s Newton City Council meeting. These are the first two projects for the program to go before the council for approval.

The first application was received

by Shawn and Vicki Wade for their building at 201 First Ave. W. Projects for the building include new signage to better tie into the character of the building and painting panels that are located between brick areas of the building.

The Downtown Grant Review Board, the group charged with reviewing grant applications, approved as much as $695 for the signage and as much as $1,162 for the paint.

The second applications was submitted by J. Paul Sandholm for his building at 106 E. Third St. S. Sandholm plans to improve the historic facade of the building, including cleaning and repairing the masonry

work and installing new windows and a new door. The windows and door will be restored to the original opening and provide a more historically accurate appearance.

The second portion of the project will have Sandholm painting the north and south brick wall surfaces the color that resembles the original color of the tile brick.

The review board approved up to $5,000 for the facade renovation and up to $1,500 for the paint work.

The Downtown Micro-Grant Program was established to encourage downtown owners to reinvest in their property and business in accordance with the Downtown Historic District Design Guidelines. A total of $100,000 was set aside for the program, provided by funds bonded in 2015.

Also before the council is a resolution to adjust the rates charged for ambulance service. Each year the ambulance rates are adjusted to align with Medicare rates.

COLFAX — With the addition of a rodeo to this year’s Jasper County Fair Round Up, organizers are hoping to leave fairgoers wanting more by the end of the night.

The Jasper County Fair Round Up was added last year to help kick off the annual county fair later in the summ e r.

This year it returns, b u t w i t h the addition of a sanctioned rodeo at the horse arena beginning at 7 p.m. June 25.

Interstate Rodeo Association from Des Moines is sanctioning the event, contracted by Buckworth Rodeo Production. The contractor has been in charge of gathering the contestants to perform that Saturday night and are also providing the cattle and props in order to make it enjoyable for all ages.

Rhonda Guy, Jasper County Fair volunteer who has taken charge of organizing the Round Up event, said the fair board has been assured the rodeo will be an entertaining event and is excited to see how people react to the new feature.

“The intent is to get them excited for what the Round Up is, and

the future hope is to find a way to blend the rodeo into the fair two or three years down the road,” Guy said. “It’s an activity that a lot of fairs do and we want to make it one of ours too.”

Admission to view the rodeo is $10 for those 12 years or older, $5 for ages 5-11 and free for kids under the

age of 5. If bought in advance, adult tickets are $8 and kids $4. The funds collected from ticket sales will be used to better the Jasper County Fair this summer.

But before the evening rodeo, several special events need to take place first, including the very popular Barnyard Babies Review contest.

Scheduled to begin the Round Up celebration, the baby review contest has a couple new categories — junior princess and junior queen — to give future queen candidates a chance to practice for their turn in the spotlight.

The junior princess is for ages 6 through 8 and the junior queen crown is open to girls ages 9 through 11. The contest will take place at the youth building beginning at 4 p.m.

Collision near construction zone

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A crash occurred about 2:50 p.m. Thursday along County Highway F48 on the south side of the I-80 overpass. Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said a Nissan SUV, after traveling through the single lane of the construction zone on the overpass, failed to move to the right into the normal highway lane and struck a stopped Chevy Lumina head-on as it waited at a temporary single-lane light. A man and woman from the Lumina were taken to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, with apparent non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the Nissan wasn’t injured. A non-injury crash also happened while deputies were on scene.

said there were projects where students not only learned the intended lesson from a project, but also other valuable skills.

“One particular project incorporated the goals of the course along with lessons on working with the public and pleasing others,” DenHartog said. “She solicited volunteers who submitted photos and information for their own Christmas letters.

Noel retires after 40 years of teaching art, mentoring students o understand how much art education and schools in general changed during Chris Noel’s 40-year career, just think about classroom technology in 1976 and 2016.

Noel, who recently retired after 40 years of teaching art in the Newton Community School District, other Iowa schools and at the college level, said the basic items seen in a school symbolize deeper and more systemic changes that have slowly taken place through the years — some negative, some positive.

“When I started teaching there were no computers in the schools, no telephones in the classrooms — many schools still used those purple mimeo machines,” Noel said. “Emphasis in school art was on the materials — the media used.”

However, Noel said, art is meant to be about far more than simply selecting colors or designs.

“I find it disheartening that many of those not in art education continue to perceive art as only working with art materials, when it is so much more than that,” Noel said.

Artists’ work to be displayed at Iowa Hall of Fame Pair of NHS artists hope their guitar is a winner

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Functionally, the guitar recently delivered as Newton High School’s entry in a statewide art contest is the same as it was before it came to Jasper County.

However, visually, it’s a historical mural tapestry representing decades of rock and other music. It’s in Okoboji, where it will be judged against seven other painted guitars from other Iowa schools to determine two prize-winning high school art departments. Carolyn Thurmond and Will Lillo, who just completed their senior year and graduated from Newton High, are the two artists who were selected to paint Newton’s entry.

“I think this is a great program, and I’m impressed by the two students who took the time to do this,” said Dennis Farland, a Newton-area music supporter who took the guitar to Clear Lake to relay the guitar to a committee member who took it on to Okoboji for judging. “They even came back after graduation to work on this project.”

Each year since 2004, the Gretsch Guitar Company has donated the eight guitars to the Iowa Rock & Roll Music Association to be placed in school art departments throughout the state of Iowa for an art contest.

The schools then have art students adorn their guitars in an IRRMA music-related theme by a Memorial Day deadline, and the instruments are then placed on display in the IRRMA Music Museum at Arnolds Park, Iowa for the summer.

On Labor Day weekend, two winners judged by a panel of artists and also by people’s choice are announced.

The winning guitars remain in the Arnolds Park museum for the following year and are auctioned on Labor Day weekend the following year.

The two winning art departments receive gift certificates for purchase of art supplies for a minimum amount of $150 each, but the full extent of the prize money has not been determined for this year. The six non-winning guitars will be auctioned after this year’s Labor Day weekend announcement, with funds benefiting the IRRMA education program.

Farland was involved in making sure Newton High was among the eight schools to have art students in the contest this year, and he plans to try to help Colfax

High School in the contest next year.

“You have got to get your bids in early for this contest,” he said.

Newton High School art instructor Ruth DenHartog said Thurmond and Lillo were selected to decorate the guitar because of the seniors’ strong artistic interest and

the abilities they’ve exhibited throughout their four years at NHS. “They both readily accepted the challenge,” DenHartog said. “They began the work at school, completing it on their own time, after the seniors were out of school — and even after graduating.”

Students earn degrees, honors from Mount Mercy University CEDAR RAPIDS — Mount Mercy University recognized its recent graduates this May. A commencement ceremony was held May 22

at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids.

Claire Funke, of Newton, received her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and graduated

Summa Cum Laude.

Abby Van Wyk, of Sully, graduated with her Bachelor of Science in nursing and graduated Cum Laude.

Funke also received recognition for outstanding achievement in Kappa Xi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society of Nursing.

Their choices for decoration reflect both rock-n-roll history and their own artistic interests. On the front, the top of the guitar fretwork is raining “Purple Rain” down onto a three-dimensional “Stairway to Heaven” fretboard. A three-dimensional hand — a Michael Jackson-esque white glove, but with dark fingernails — adjusts the tuning.

A likeness of Jimi Hendrix and the association logo also adorn the front of the guitar.

The back is decorated in a mosaic of corn and a microphone representing the main crop and a symbol of entertainment for Iowa.

Lillo said the experience of using the car as a canvas was a rock odyssey all its own.

“This project was an awesome opportunity to be a part of,” Lillo said. “I enjoyed listening to great music while working on this guitar.”

Thurmond said the project was a great learning experience.

“I learned a lot about rock-n-roll, and a lot about art,” she said. “I tried to use my strengths but I also tried some things I’ve never done.

I appreciate the opportunity and hope we made something people will love.”

Local & State News Noel Continued from Page 1A when the district made cuts in the high school art program two years ago.

Unlike some subject areas, art teachers tend to have K-12 certification. Noel also taught many workshops and has been an adjunct faculty member at area community colleges including DMACC and MCC and taught Upward Bound classes at Central College in the summer.

During her career, Noel has been on three state curriculum writing committees; the most

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | June 17, 2016 | 3A

recent was to provide information and lessons to infuse Common/Iowa Core into art curricula. She is a member of Art Educators of Iowa and is a past president of that organization.

The Art Educators of Iowa recognized Noel as art teacher of the year in both 1996 and 2008 — and is still the only Iowa teacher to win the award more than once.

Noel was the first Visual Arts Chair of an Iowa Department of Education-funded initiative to provide art mentors to new art teachers. She was also part of a 20-year collaboration between ISU and

Iowa art teachers to construct art curricula based on visual thinking and problem solving, cultural and historical context, and authentic assessment.

Even though Noel doesn’t always see eye to eye with educators who she feels don’t fully grasp what art is about, there are some positive changes happening within the art community, she said.

“I see the long-building trend in art education for critical thinking, problem solving and mastering processes as a great improvement,” Noel said.

While Noel plans to continue teaching occasional workshops, she plans to spend

much more of her time working on her own art. She maintains a studio at the Centre for Arts and Artists in Newton.

“Chris is a multi-talented person,” DenHartog said. “She has a working knowledge of spices and foreign foods and loves cooking something new.

She was known to thank people at school by distributing her baked goods; Chris would distribute plates of cookies with detailed features and intricate designs so beautiful that it would almost make a person hesitate to eat them for fear of destroying their beauty. Her garden, too, is something to behold. In class, Chris strove

Grants Continued from Page 1A To continue that practice, that rates will decrease by ap-

to not only make class educational, but interesting.”

Noel said watching children’s eyes light up when an art concept or image catches fire in their minds is one of the main elements that motivated her as an art educator.

“The wonder of students when they create something new, see a new connection or context, learn a new process, or become excited about what they are learning — those are constants and remain continuing joys of teaching,” she said.

File Photo Queen candidates from the 2015 Jasper County Fair Round Up wait for the winner.

Fair Continued from Page 1A After the baby review will be the much anticipated coronation of the Jasper County Fair Queen and Princess. Nine young ladies — six from Newton, two from Prairie City and one from Baxter — are vying for the crown and an opportunity to take on extra responsibility either as queen or princess for the remainder of the fair. The queen’s first obligation will be to make an appearance at the inaugural rodeo lat-

er in the evening.

“We are excited to have this many girls involved this year who are recognized from 4-H and FFA,” Guy said. “We have some really cool young ladies who have been involved with the fair for a lot of years and are coming back saying ‘hey, I am proud of our fair and I want to be back to represent it.’ For us that’s a neat thing.”

In between the main events at the Round Up and Rodeo people can prepare for Jasper County Fair competitions by practicing in the Oreo stack-

ing or coloring contests on the fairgrounds. Balloon-making entertainment, rides, games and numerous food vendors will also be available for Round Up-goers in preparation for the ultimate event.

“It’s all just a sneak preview of what will be going on at the fair this year,” Guy said.

The Jasper County Fair is July 15-21 with a theme this year of “Sew It — Grow It — Show It” and is also celebrating its 30th year of the open class building.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Shawn and Vicki Wade are one of the first applicants for the Downtown Micro-Grant Program for their building at 201 First Ave. W.

Have a catch “Hey Dad. You want to have a catch?”

Not only is it one of the best lines from one of my all-time favorite movies, “Field of Dreams,” but it is also a question I myself have asked my own father countless times.

Playing catch has always been a favorite pastime, my glove is always in my trunk, ready for a round at any moment. A good high school friend and I will always find time to have a game of catch if our busy schedules ever align.

My two favorite throwing partners are my dad and my sister. I can’t even begin to count the number of times we have lined up across for one another and threw the ball around. Even when our school careers were over, and we were playing slow-pitch, Trish and I would warm up our arms in the outfield grass before the game.

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers I was reminded of all the years my family and I would be outside playing our favorite game during one of my evening walks. I made my way to Maytag Park and walked on the Newton Hike and Bike Trail for about a mile and half before turning around and heading back toward my building.

As I rounded the curve along West Fourth Street South, I spotted a group of kids playing softball in the yard. I have no idea if they were related; but in my mind, I immediately saw them as brothers and sisters having a nice backyard contest. Big sister was pitching to little brother while little sister played in the field.

The first pitch was lobbed in and little brother swung and missed. It was retrieved by even younger broth-

er waiting his turn to bat. Little sister called out suggestions from her position between the objects used to mark first and second base. Little brother had a determined look in his eye as he prepared for the next pitch.

The ball sailed toward home plate, little brother took a small step, swung his tiny bat and connected, sending a hard grounder shooting through the grass. He released his bat and hurried around the bases before his little sister stopped the ball and tossed it back to big sister. Little brother had himself a nice double.

My route turned me back into Maytag Park and away from the backyard game; therefore, I can only imagine what the youngest brother did in his turn at the bat. My own memories of playing backyard softball with my siblings and parents can create quite the game in my head.

That’s what summer as a kid was all about for me — outside playing softball or baseball until it was time for

supper.

That’s where it all started, having a catch in the backyard. I still find time to throw the ball around with my dad, sister and brother — taking a Rodgers’ infield if we have the time. Playing catch has always been relaxing and therapeutic in more ways than one.

When I hurt my shoulder, my dad was the best supporter, helping me rehab it, so I could still continue to play.

He and I would play a weekly game of catch either in the gym or at the little league diamond. It still hurts from time to time and when that happens, I’m sure I’ll be back out there with dad, rehabbing both of our ailing shoulders.

So if you like to play catch, go have a catch with dad, mom, sister, friend or whoever in your life is willing. Just enjoy yourself with a glove, a ball and someone you love being around, and hopefully you find a little therapy every time the ball hits the mitt.

So Anyway Dana King

You just ‘do’ for family The things we do for our kids!

When we begin our journey as parents, wouldn’t you agree we tend to think in the short-term? I mean we’re all goofy and googly about this amazing new little human being in our lives and a bit naive about how many of our waking hours — and hours normally designated for sleeping — they will actually consume. Our vision of the future doesn’t usually stretch much further than getting through the end of the day with a baby that’s dry, fed and not crying.

Sometimes that’s all that matters.

Then you look forward to the time the child starts sleeping through the night, usually followed by the delusions of how adorable and wonderful it will be when that little person learns to walk and talk.

Adorable? Yes. Wonderful? Well ... not always quite so much. Of course everyone dreams of successful potty training.

It’s been a while, but I remember fantasizing about how wonderful it would be the day the kids could pour their own breakfast cereal. Just those type of little “victories” they are finally doing things for themselves and giving us a little break.

Eventually it’s time to introduce them to age appropriate chores (insert evil laugh right about here) — cleaning their rooms, scouring the bathtub, washing dishes, vacuuming the floors, feeding the chickens and gathering eggs, mowing the lawn, putting up hay, etc. — in other words, actually contributing to daily existence of the family.

It’s not always easy. Families are families are families. No matter how it may appear from the outside, we all face challenges raising a family. Giving more than we ever thought we possibly had to give. Every one of us. But by the grace of God, most of us make it through ... stronger, wiser, tougher and looking forward to the day those kids leave home and your job is done.

That is, until the day they actually do leave home and you realize, your job is far from done.

I guess that’s the thing about being a parent. It’s not just a temporary 18-year gig and then you’re cut loose of all worries and work. You’ll still worry. Believe me, the worrying never subsides.

And the work?

Well, college kid locked his keys in his car earlier this week while he was at work, and I had to drive an hour away with a spare key at 10 p.m.

Girl-child and her fiance recently purchased a home and we helped them move, unpack, shop for new furniture and a washer and dryer, deliver and install it. And who do you think is building a fence in her backyard for her dogs tomorrow?

Oh, and keep in mind, we did, after all, just build a treehouse we personally will never play in.

You just “do” for family. The difference now is it’s not expected, it’s appreciated.

YOUR VIEW

Disappointed in school board decisions Are you kidding me? Did the newspaper incorrectly report the school board meeting on Tuesday regarding wages increases, $800,000 shortage to be absorbed in school supplies and a recommendation by our superintendent to take a wage freeze of all administration positions only to have the overturned by Newton’s principals? I will watch for a retraction and apologize if need be — but I am putting my

Volunteers appreciated Thank you to all our faithful volunteers who made the LifeServe Blood Center Blood

bet that the newspaper reported correctly.

Of the $800,000 shortage, $75,000 will be absorbed by drastically reducing color printing, which is wonderful. Could we have taken that step in past years? And what other reductions have been overlooked as needs rather than wants? Secretaries’ 4 percent wage increases are higher than the teacher increase this coming year. That appears nonsensical. But, the best yet is a superintendent who did not stick to his wise and realistic recommendation of an administrative wage freeze.

Do you realize how many free lunches are in this town, and how ridiculous the teacher and administration salaries are in comparison to that before the increases? It is as ridiculous as selling an administration building (that needs $400,000 in repairs) for a mere $50-some thousand dollars so you can put more than $2,000,000 into a new location for an admin building.

I’m wondering if these decision makers even went to school.

It’s clear Mr. Callaghan did as he ended up with a raise.

Drive at Kellogg successful on Tuesday. Thanks to Stan Heidemann and Al Ricks for set up the room at the Cabin in the Park and who then tore down and put it back to right.

Thanks to Alice Schwarz and Zetta Rae Stock for manning

A long life lived well is inspiration for others

DEAR ABBY: I read your column and I feel for the people who have problems. I have no worries.

Although my life has been far from perfect and no bed of roses, here I am at 95 with no serious physical, spiritual, emotional, family or economic problems.

I grew up during the Depression, had wonderful parents, worked my way through college, and was married to a loving woman for 67 years. I have four successful children and their spouses and several industrious grandchildren. I also have met a terrific widow who shares the current daily obstacles.

Service in the Navy during WWII and Korea seemed at the time to limit my future career, but in retrospect were experiences I cherish. Science has been good to me. My knee replacement still permits tennis, three stents keep me alive, vertebra shots eliminate severe pain and I have had a couple of other minor corrections.

Yes, I know, Abby — I am the luckiest person alive. — FRANK IN ATLANTA DEAR FRANK: I agree. And I can’t help but wonder if part of your luck has to do with your attitude when you were faced with problems that others would consider to be adversities. We can all learn from your example.

DEAR ABBY: I know I have an issue with alcohol. I have read about local AA groups, but they don’t seem right for me because I’m an atheist. When I went to my doctor, along with my supportive husband, she had no suggestions to offer. I know I need help beyond what friends and family can provide. Do you have any ideas for me? — TAKING THE STEP

IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TAKING THE STEP: I certainly do, because there are secular alternatives to AA. SMART Recovery offers a four-point program aimed at motivation to abstain, coping with cravings, managing negative emotions and finding a life balance. It has face-to-face support groups worldwide, as well as daily online meetings. Like AA, lifetime abstinence is the goal, and meetings and help are free of charge. Unlike AA, lifetime abstinence need not require lifetime attendance at meetings. For more information, visit smartrecovery.org.

Another group, Women for Sobriety, may be of interest to you because it is non-theistic and aims to empower women and minorities. The website, womenforsobriety.org, does not list its meetings (for reasons of privacy), so in order to find a group, you will have to make contact within the site.

Last, Secular Organizations for Sobriety (aka Save Our Selves) is sometimes described as a 12step program minus the religious overtones. To find a list of meetings, visit sossobriety.org.

Local & State News 1 Former clerk accused of stealing from northwest Iowa city

BOYDEN — A former city clerk in northwest Iowa is accused of stealing from the city.

Online court records say 53-year-old Beth Sipma is charged with theft in Sioux County. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could speak on her behalf.

Authorities say more than $36,000 in improper and unsupported disbursements was discovered during a state audit requested by the city of Boyden.

Filter-clogging hair jeopardizing doggie dip MASON CITY — Dog hair — and lots of it — may be jeopardizing the annual doggie dip at the Mason City Aquatic Center.

The city Parks and Recreation Board was advised Tuesday to discontinue the event because of the $3,000 to $4,000 cost of cleaning the pool’s filters.

Recreation Superintendent Brian Pauly said the pool water appeared cloudy this year, although it tested free of harmful bacteria or other contaminants.

DES MOINES — A gay bar has been vandalized again in Des Moines’ East Village district.

The Blazing Saddle co-owner Chris Bullen says a security recording shows a man tossing rocks and breaking a window a little after 4 a.m. Thursday. No injuries have been reported. The replacement window will cost a little under $200.

Bullen and another co-owner, Bob Eikleberry, say the same thing happened about three weeks ago, but the security camera didn’t capture any images of the vandal or vandals.

Iowa sex offender gets 10 years for possessing child porn DAVENPORT — A convicted Iowa sex offender has been imprisoned for possessing child pornography.

Federal prosecutors say 40-year-old Philipp Johnson, of Davenport, was given 10 years Wednesday during sentencing in U.S. District Court in Davenport. He must serve 10 years of supervised release after he leaves prison and pay $3,000 to two victims. He’d pleaded guilty.

Convicted lottery computer manager argues Iowa court appeal

Submitted Photo Pictured from left to right: Fred Rhodes, Isaac and Jeff Jorgenson. A new pilot service is available at Newton’s Airport

New pilot service available at Newton Airport Newton Daily News Fred Rhodes, of Newton, earned his pilot’s license this week with the help of his Flight Instructor, Jeff Jorgenson.

This is a big accomplishment for both men for two very different reasons. Rhodes, 55, saved his money to buy a small 1956 Piper Tri-Pacer aircraft for about the price of a new car. He and his wife, Dorothy plan to use the aircraft to travel out of state to visit family and grandkids. Jorgenson, a graduate of Newton Senior High School class of 1990, is a stay-at-home dad who got his private pilot’s license in Newton from Earl Johnson 20 years ago.

Since then, Jorgenson had worked a day job and collected his flight ratings over the years, first his Instrument rating in 1999

his commercial rating and then his certificate of flight instruction (CFI) in 2009. Jorgenson couldn’t be happier.

“I’m married to my high-school sweetheart, Mindi. While our daughter, Olivia, is in school I have the flexibility to bring my 2 year old, Isaac, with me when I fly with students. It’s great! He loves airplanes,” he said.

Jorgenson is also a retired avionics technician from the Iowa Air National Guard and grew up watching airplanes from his grandparents farm near the Newton Airport.

Having moved to Minnesota for several years, Jorgenson has recently moved back into the Newton Area.

“I see a lot of opportunity for aviation business in Newton,” Jorgenson said.

With a shortage of pi-

lots due to the mandatory retirement of airline pilots at age 65 and the military producing less pilots to supply to the airlines, it is a good time for young people to get their license. Pilot training is a great S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) educational platform and Jorgenson often provides rides to kids.

A person can solo at age 16 and get your pilot’s license at age 17. Being a pilot is very attainable for anyone with the desire to achieve it. And, as Rhodes has found out...

“I never had the time to drive out of state and back in a weekend to visit family. Now I do,” he said.

Rhodes plans his first trip to Virginia in July.

For more information about becoming a pilot, visit Jorgenson’s website, SkyWebAviation.com

DES MOINES (AP) — The attorney for a former lottery official accused of fixing jackpots in several states argued Thursday that his client’s conviction last year on fraud charges should be thrown out.

Eddie Tipton, the former Multi-State Lottery Association computer security director, appealed his July 2015 convictions related to fixing an Iowa Hot Lotto game in 2010, which resulted in a 10-year prison sentence. He is free on bond during the appeal.

Tipton’s attorney, Dean Stowers, told a three-judge Iowa Court of Appeals panel that evidence at Tipton’s trial was not sufficient to support the convictions.

Iowa prosecutors have said Tipton bought a Hot Lotto ticket in December 2010 with the same numbers that he had programmed into the lottery computer a month earlier. They said he then gave the ticket to a friend in Texas who prosecutors say reached out to attorneys in Canada and Texas to try and cash it in without divulging the name of the original ticket buyer.

Since Iowa law requires jackpot winners to be identified, the $16.5 million jackpot was never paid.

The court did not provide a timeline for when it might rule.

Tipton, 53, had been working for the Urbandale, Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association since 2003 and was promoted to computer information security director in 2013. The nonprofit association is operated by 37 mostly state-run lotteries to oversee picking numbers for various games and other lottery game administrative functions.

As an employee, Tipton was prohibited from playing the lottery in Iowa; he was fired after his

January 2015 arrest.

“The problem in this case kind of starts with the fact that there’s a total lack of evidence to support any of these theories,” Stowers argued, pointing specifically to evidence that showed Tipton had changed the computer number-picking program or had any connection with the people who tried to cash in the lottery ticket.

Assistant Iowa Attorney General Louis Sloven said Thursday that plenty of evidence was presented showing Tipton bought the winning lottery ticket and made deliberate efforts to conceal his identity and construct an alibi. Sloven said it’s significant that Tipton lied to FBI investigators about knowing his friend in Texas and told them he was not in the Des Moines area when the ticket was bought although cellphone records show he was.

Tipton’s lawyer also argued for overturning the conviction because prosecutors waited more than four years to file charges, outside the three-year statute of limitations. He said the clock started ticking in December 2011, when officials knew something was unusual with the Hot Lotto ticket, though Sloven argued it wouldn’t have begun until October 2014, when investigators released the video of the ticket purchase and people recognized Tipton.

Tipton faces a second trial in Iowa on ongoing criminal conduct and money laundering charges alleging he manipulated computers to fix lottery games in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wisconsin, and then worked with others to cash the tickets. A previously set July trial date has been delayed and a new date not yet scheduled.

First Avenue of Sculpture and Art celebrates third year Newton Daily News Have you noticed some new sculptures sited along First Avenue?

They may be part of the First Avenue of Sculpture and Art sculpture rental program.

The program is designed to rent sculptures and site them along First Avenue to “Educate, Entertain and Excite the Citizens and Visitors of Newton” with new art each year from May to November.

This year’s sculptures include six that are for sale by various artists and two on loan from the ISF. A commission is collected from sculpture sales and the funds go back into the program for future expenses or to expand the program.

First Avenue of Sculpture and Art pay a stipend to the artist in order to rent the sculpture, insurance, some siting costs, promotion and signage for each sculpture.

The sculptures are, from east to west: “Innocence of Peace” by Ron Dinsdale of Huxley. Sale price $13,000. Sited at Community Bank. Material — Indiana Lime stone “To the West Country” by Jason Seeley, Not for Sale. Sited at The Dental Practice. Material — Welded steel and auto bumpers.

Chad in Charge

Iowa native is Brennan Poole’s NASCAR Xfinity Series crew chief

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Drivers are not the only competitive ones on a NASCAR racing team.

“I have a competitive nature and I love the competitiveness of the sport,” NASCAR Xfinity Series crew chief Chad Norris said.

“Even as a crew chief, you are trying to prepare the driver, the cars and your team to be the best every day and be faster than the other guys out there.”

Norris grew up racing on the dirt tracks of Iowa. The 40-yearold Fremont native returns to Iowa Speedway this weekend for the seventh time as a crew chief of an Xfinity Series team.

He was tapped by Chip Ganassi Racing to lead the 2016 No. 48 DC Solar Chevrolet driven by Brennan Poole. CGR announced in February it would have two Xfinity Series entries in 2016 with Poole competing in his first full season at that level.

“I was excited for the opportunity to join Chip Ganassi Racing at the first part of this year. Not only is Brennan in his first full season racing in the Xfinity cars, we’re a brand new team for him,” Norris said. “Brennan ran at Iowa Speedway in both Xfinity Series races last year and we’re all pumped about racing there this weekend.”

Norris guides Poole into this weekend’s Xfinity Series stop at Iowa Speedway — the first of two Xfinity races this summer at the Newton track. Poole drives the CGR No. 48 in Sunday’s American Ethanol E15 250 presented

by Enogen. There are practice laps Friday, qualifying rounds on Saturday and the 12:30 p.m. race Sunday.

Poole, who is from The Woodlands, Texas, sits eighth in the 2016 Xfinity drivers’ points standings. The No. 48 DC Solar team finished 11th at Michigan International Speedway a week ago. Poole’s best finish this season was third at Talladega in April 30.

“We work a couple weeks out from races. The Michigan stuff is gone and we have some down time today,” Norris told The Newton Daily News a week ago in a telephone interview. “We do everything in house on the car side.

We decide how we want the car built for each different track.”

Norris said Iowa Speedway presents a challenge for him as a crew chief.

Ames powers past Newton softball team

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News AMES — Two aspects of their game didn’t play out well against host Ames Thursday night as Newton High’s Cardinals dropped an 8-2 decision in non-conference softball action.

“We didn’t hit the ball well and we made errors,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said.

“We’ll get back after it in Friday’s conference games at Pella Christian.”

Newton has used timely hitting and solid defense to win four games in a row, including knocking off two Class 4A ranked teams this week. The Cardinals had base runners against Ames Thursday, but couldn’t score until they were down 8-0 in the top of the seventh inning.

Audrey Lucas singled to lead off Newton’s seventh inning Kari Adams and Sydney Jenkins drew walks to load the bases with two gone.

Karley Leiker hit into a fielder’s choice, but all Cardinal runners were safe as Adams scored.

An error by Ames on a ball hit by Taylor Ryan allowed Jenkins to cross the plate. That was all Newton scored as the game ended on a ground out.

Ryan, Emily Valtman and Peyton Maher each connected for a double for the Cardinals in the game. Newton was unable to come up with key hits to drive in runs.

Ames scored three runs in the second inning, two more in the fourth and three runs in the fifth to build its lead. The Little Cyclones had edged the Cardinals, 4-3, earlier in the season in Newton.

Anna Coyle took the loss in the circle for Newton. She gave up 10 hits, walked two and struck out one.

Newton is 13-6 overall. The Cardinals play at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Pella Christian in Little Hawkeye Conference action in Pella.

The Cardinals begin the second round of games against LHC opponents Friday against Class 2A No. 11 Pella Christian. Newton goes into the game with a 4-2 LHC mark.

Newton opens Saturday’s West Marshall tournament in an 11 a.m. game against Des Moines Christian.

CGR Photo Iowa native Chad Norris has been working in NASCAR circles for 20-plus years — 12 of those as a crew chief for various drivers. Norris returns to Iowa Speedway this weekend as crew chief for NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Brennan Poole with Chip Ganassi Racing for the Xfinity American Ethanol E15 250 on Sunday.

“The racing there is normally very good. The track has some character to it — the bumps in it.

It is challenging from my side of it to get the set-up in the car correct so we can get through the bumps and try to be faster than the other guys out there,” Norris said.

Norris said he has always liked Iowa Speedway and has helped drivers navigate the track six other times. He said Poole was excited to get back to Iowa after running here twice last year in a different car with a different team.

Poole finished 38th in the Xfinity Series race in May 2015 then returned to Iowa in August to claim 14th.

Summer sports have arrived

O

June 17, 2016 Newton Daily News

fficially, we’ve closed the book on the 2016 high school spring sports season. Wow, what a spring season Newton had — state track meet, state golf for girls and boys , state girls’ tennis and state girls’ soccer. Athletes from Newton and the four area high schools set high standards in all of their endeavors this spring, whether they reached a state meet or not it was great spring season.

Now, we’re moving close to the halfway mark of the summer high school softball and baseball seasons.

Only one area team is ranked at this point. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s softball team was ranked 10th in Class 3A, although the new rankings come out Friday afternoon.

Newton’s softball team has made some noise this week, which could get the Cardinals noticed a bit in Class 4A. The Cardinals rolled past 4A No.

Norris began his career in motorsports as a 15-year-old driver on local dirt tracks such as Oskaloosa. He said he kept up with his driving until he made the decision to move to North Carolina at the end of 1995 to pursue a job in the sport.

“Moving from inside the car to the outside was a natural progression for me. I enjoyed the challenge of being competitive week in and week out, leading a group of guys to be the best each week.

Helping a driver achieve on the race track is a tremendous feeling as a crew chief,” Norris said.

The Press box Jocelyn Sheets 13 Pella, 8-1, on Monday then had a walk-off 4-3 victory over 4A No. 5 Norwalk Wednesday. Both wins came at home.

Looking at the area summer prep ball season, the five softball teams are having .500 or better seasons midway through. Newton is three wins away from its total victories of 2015, standing at 13-5 overall heading into Thursday’s non-conference game at Ames.

Newton senior Sydney Jenkins is fifth in batting average, .462, in the Little Hawkeye Conference and third in onbase percentage, .563.

Newton’s freshman pitching duo of Peyton Maher and Anna Coyle are first and third, respectively, in the LHC with ERA’s of 1.54 and 1.56. Both are 6-2 on the season for the Cardinals.

Colfax-Mingo only had 10 wins a year go and the Tigerhawk girls

NORRIS | 3B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Emily Valtman is set to lead off from second base during a recent home game. The Cardinals drop 8-2 decision Thursday at Ames.

are atop their new conference — the South Iowa Cedar League — at 13-6 and SICL defending champion Lynnville-Sully is 10-10.

In the Heart of Iowa Conference, CMB is 12-4 overall and Prairie City-Monroe has an 8-9 mark. CMB’s junior Abbey Kahler threw a perfect game with 13 strikeouts against HOIC foe Nevada on Wednesday. The Raider girls have six hitters with batting averages of .400 or better led by their lone senior Payge Jurgens at .543.

For the area high school baseball teams, Colfax-Mingo, which only had five victories in its final HOIC season a year ago, and Lynnville-Sully are duking it out in the SICL. The Tigerhawks and Hawks are 10-5 overall. PCM and CMB are 6-10 and 5-5, respectively, on the season.

Newton’s Cardinal baseball team is struggling to get its offense going in 2016. The Cardinals have lost four straight games and stand at 5-9 overall. They begin the second time through the Little Hawkeye Conference Friday with a doubleheader at Pella Christian. Cardinal head coach

Dustin Brisel is positive the Cardinal bats will come around soon to go with the solid pitching and defense the Cardinals have played so far this season.

Going from the diamonds to the oval this weekend, I’ll cover the Newton Cardinal Invitational baseball tournament Saturday then to Iowa Speedway on Sunday. It’s Wide Open Weekend for Iowa Speedway with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR’s Xfinity Series on the track.

The 10th season of racing at Iowa Speedway begins with Saturday’s NCWTS Speediatrics 200. On Sunday afternoon is the Xfinity Series American Ethanol E15 250.

Wrapping up the races and all the weekend softball and baseball stories Sunday night and Monday morning, I’m out of here for a week. I’m looking forward to a week off to recharge for possible runs to the state softball and baseball tournaments by area teams in late July.

Summer is here and we’re sizzling.

Storms soften Oakmont, stop U.S. Open tourney OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Even a rain-soaked Oakmont didn’t keep the U.S. Open from delivering its usual dose of frustration.

Just not the kind anyone expected.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth, who had spent five days preparing on the firm and fiery greens of Oakmont, posed over a wedge into the 17th that landed behind the hole, spun back and kept rolling until it trickled down a slope into the bunker.

Masters champion Danny Willett sat in a cabin behind the seventh tee for more than an hour as his group waited out the first of three rain delays.

When the weather cleared, players were sent back onto the course without having a chance to warm up again.

Only nine players finished the first round, and 78 players didn’t even tee off.

Play was to resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday.

The first round was suspended for third and final time just as 28-year-old qualifier Andrew Landry was finishing up a dream round in his U.S. Open debut.

Coming off two straight bogeys, Landry drilled his approach to about 10 feet on the par-4 ninth when the horn sounded as a violent storm approached. He was at 3-under par.

CMB stays on winning track

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — The few hours Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Hunter McWhirter gets to spend at the baseball diamond with his Raider squad every night is a great way to distract him from what’s going on in his personal life.

Playing a high school baseball game while his father is in hospice care is not easy. In fact, it’s likely the hardest thing McWhirter has had to do at this point in his life.

McWhirter found a way to focus on the game Thursday night, and a strong finish on the mound helped the Raiders down South Hamilton, 7-3, during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

“It’s hard. There are some days where I just don’t want to get out of bed and some days I just don’t want to do anything.

I know Dad is proud of me for showing up and doing this.

“It’s an escape for me and mom because she is a big baseball and softball player, but it’s tough.”

McWhirter’s father is battling kidney cancer. The entire CMB team has worn orange shoelaces for several games now in support of their teammate.

There are more important things for McWhirter to be concerned with, but all he wanted to do Thursday was make sure the Raiders did not suffer another tough loss against South Hamilton.

CMB (6-5 overall, 6-5 in the HOIC) lost its first game of the season against on June 3 against South Hamilton when the Hawks plated eight runs in the sixth inning and won 13-5.

McWhirter was on the mound for part of the eight-run inning that featured a downpour. Thursday, he made sure an early 6-0 lead would end in victory.

“I was nervous because of the last time we faced them, but we needed this win tonight,” McWhirter said. “We are not what our record says we are. I just wanted to make sure we got the win.”

The Raiders won their first four games of the season before battling through a five-game losing streak.

CMB won its second straight Thursday after blowing out Nevada a night earlier.

The program battles through a depleted roster for a week every season because of a church mission trip. CMB coach Max Seeman said its hard to regain momentum after that week, but the Raiders appear to be heading in the right direction.

“It’s definitely hard to get momentum back, especially when the games we are losing are by a lot of runs,” Seeman said. “We had a long talk after the North Polk game the other night about attitude and effort. There are only so many things you can control and those are two of the things we can control. We want to focus on that from pitch to pitch, which carries over from at-bat to at-bat, inning to inning and game to game.

“It’s been a tough week mentally for our entire team. Get-

The Iowa High School Athletic Association released the postseason baseball assignments for Class 1A and 2A on Thursday, and four Jasper County teams have been paired together in their respective classes.

In 2A, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (6-5) and Prairie City-Monroe (6-10) will both play in District 13 and will be joined by Roland-Story (16-4), Des Moines Christian (11-6), West Marshall (10-8) and South Hamilton (4-8).

Roland-Story is currently ranked eighth by the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association.

In 1A, Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully also are in District 13.

The Tigerhawks (106) and Hawks (10-5) were paired with thirdranked Martensdale-St. Marys (13-3), Southeast Warren (10-5), Morman Trail (10-3), Wayne (7-7), Central Decatur (6-8), Iowa Christian Academy (4-5) and Melcher-Dallas (2-11).

Dempsey, Zardes lead U.S. over Ecuador ​Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Hunter McWhirter tosses a pitch to the plate during the Raiders’ 7-4 win over South Hamilton on Thursday.

McWhirter pitched the final four innings of the CMB victory.

ting two wins in a row is big.”

The Raiders jumped on South Hamilton starter Zeke Balderas early. CMB plated four runs in the first inning. Balderas hit Raider senior Brady Stover with the first pitch of the game and then walked junior Brady Kemp and McWhirter.

A pair of errors and an RBI single by senior Spencer Gauch helped the Raiders lead 4-0 after one inning.

Gauch and senior Nate Bishop walked and singled, respectively, with one out in the third.

Junior Tucker Maxwell drove in Gauch with an RBI single and then Bishop scored on an RBI groundout by Travis Lindemoen.

That 6-0 lead looked to be plenty of support for Stover, but the senior ace left the game after three innings with tightness in his arm.

Only one South Hamilton (4-8, 3-7) batter reached base against Stover, and that was because of a catcher’s interference.

Stover fanned five batters in three innings and improved to 3-0 on the season. He now has 41 strikeouts in 19 innings.

McWhirter came on in the fourth inning and buckled down after allowing three runs in the fourth.

A big double play helped McWhirter get out of the jam, and then he pitched out of a jam in the sixth and left two Hawk runners in scoring position.

McWhirter allowed three runs — two earned — in the final four innings. He fanned four and allowed three hits.

“I think this is a great distraction or an escape for him,” Seeman said of McWhirter. “The

fact that he can come out and play like he did tonight says a lot about what kind of kid he is. All of his teammates know what’s going on. They know how hard it is for him.”

Gauch reached base for a third time in the fifth when he was hit by a pitch. He moved up to second base after a Maxwell ground out and then scored on an RBI single by sophomore Travis Lindemoen. Lindemoen had two hits and two RBIs in the triumph.

Gauch was 1-for-1 with an RBI, a walk and a hit by pitch on the night. He scored three runs, too.

“All of us knew we had to step up and play better, especially the seniors,” Gauch said. “We know we can play better than we were during that losing streak. It feels good to get back on track.”

The Raiders won the game despite still missing a few starters.

Seniors Brad Ritter and Aric Broderick were both gone because of college orientation at the University of Northern Iowa.

CMB plays its fifth game in five days when it hosts HOIC rival Greene County at 7:30 p.m.

Friday.

The Raiders play in the West Marshall tournament on Saturday.

CMB is scheduled to face the host Trojans at 11 a.m. Prairie City-Monroe meets Grundy Center at 1 p.m. The consolation game is at 3 p.m., and the championship is scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

SEATTLE (AP) — Another benchmark for the United States. Another huge goal for Clint Dempsey.

As unlikely as it seemed a few weeks ago, the U.S. is in the semifinals of the Copa America.

Dempsey scored for the third straight game and set up Gyasi Zardes for a tap-in goal, boosting the United States into the Copa America semifinals with a wild 2-1 win over Ecuador on Thursday night.

Playing before a boisterous and almost completely partisan home crowd of 47,322 in the soccer-mad Pacific Northwest, the U.S. won a knockout game against a nation outside its region for only the second time and will play Argentina or Venezuela on Tuesday in Houston.

And the Americans did it on the back of Dempsey, their fiery 33-year-old striker whose place on the U.S. team was debated early this year.

Dempsey’s 52nd international goal, five behind Landon Donovan’s American record, put the U.S. ahead in the 22nd minute.

Zardes guided Dempsey’s cross into the net in the 65th for his sixth goal and a 2-0 lead.

Michael Arroyo scored for Ecuador in the 74th minute, making for a tense ending, and Enner Valencia missed a pair of great chances moments later on a pair of headers.

Norris Continued from Page 1B

CGR Photo Chad Norris, back, is the crew chief for NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Brennan Poole, front, who is competing in his first full season in the series. Norris is in his first season with Poole and Chip Ganassi Racing, but has a 20-plus year career in NASCAR.

Before moving to Chip Ganassi Racing this year, Norris spent 11-plus years with Roush Fenway Racing working with drivers at each level of NASCAR racing. In 2008, Norris worked as crew chief for four different drivers in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and in 2012 he served as crew chief for Carl Edwards in 17 Sprint Cup races.

From 2005 until 2015 with Roush Fenway, Norris served as crew chief in the Xfinity Series working with drivers such as Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin and Jamie McMurray. He guided 14 drivers during that time, including Travis Pastrana in 2013 and Trevor Bayne in 2014, through full seasons.

In 2015, he was the crew chief for Roush Fenway’s Ryan Reed for 13 races and Darrell Wallace Jr. for 20 races. He ran Roush Fenway’s research and development department from 2011 until 2015.

“The biggest difference in working with younger drivers from veteran drivers like Carl Edwards is helping them figure out where they need to be with their car from our practice sessions to the race. Where Carl was at in his career in 2012, he

did a great job of knowing what he needed to do on the track, and the team and I just need to keep speed and balance in the car each week,” Norris said.

“Younger drivers need to learn where they need to be during a race. There’s a good difference between our practice sessions to races. We’re working on balance for the race car to give drivers the best opportunity to be fast on the track in races depending on the time of day of the race.”

Norris said there’s always something to be done and a team doesn’t have a lot of down time. With Poole, he is guiding a brand new team and as Poole grows as a driver, the team grows also. He said as a crew chief, he aligns the 10 guys who travel with the team on a weekly basis so they are working together.

“In the offseason, we were busy building equipment and the cars. Each race track requires specific set ups on the cars for balance and speed.

Things are coming around well for us. Brennen has done a really nice job of getting his car where

he needs to be for the race, and getting some sold results up to this point,” Norris said.

During a race, Norris said a lot of things are going on for him as a crew chief. He said he is constantly thinking strategy for his driver including when to take pit stops, fuel mileage and help the driver with anything he needs throughout the race.

“We’re always busy trying to find the edge to be more competitive. I’m mainly responsible for making sure the cars are built and prepped properly for the particular race track and the set ups in the cars are what we want to start the weekend. As we go through the weekend with practice, qualifying and the race, we’re trying to keep balance and speed in the car,” Norris said.

Norris and the CGR No. 48 DC Solar team are out to help Poole go after his first Xfinity Series win this weekend at Iowa Speedway.

“Iowa Speedway is a really great place to race and the fans are awesome. They are everywhere when you get there,” Norris said. “I know Brennan is ready to get to Iowa for some short track racing and see what we can come up with.”

Newton Trap Team competes at state meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News The Newton Trap Team finished out its 2016 trap shoot season June 11 and 12 at the Iowa State Trap Championships in Cedar Falls. The Cardinal varsity squads finished 82nd and 96th out of 152 squads.

Newton’s varsity team of Connor McAdoo, Dawson Cobler, Clay Trotter, Evan Cook and Ross Hull combined for a score of 867 out of a possible 1,000 for 82nd.

Combining for a 848 score for 96th were Matt Bleakney, Logan Zaabel, Nathan Tremel,

Colton Kingery and Brian Bleakney.

Allison Winchell hit 137 targets out of 200 to finish 170th in a field of 205 varsity female shooters.

McAdoo posted Newton’s highest individual male varsity score, 188 of 200, to place 102nd out of 835 male shooters.

McAdoo and Trotter recorded firsts for themselves at the state meet. Each one hit 25 straight targets in competition for the first time.

“We always seem to shoot well at the State Trap Championships, and this year was no exception,” Newton Trap

Winchell

McAdoo

Team head coach Paul Klein said. “With more than 1,600 high school shooters competing in the event, there is some really tough competition. It’s tough to see your team members shoot really good scores and then realize how far be-

LeBron, Cavs down Warriors, force Game 7 CLEVELAND (AP) — From the edge of elimination to the brink of history.

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have pushed the NBA Finals to their limit. Game 7 is necessary.

James scored 41 points, delivering another magnificent performance with no margin for error, Kyrie Irving added 23 and the Cavs sent the finals packing for California by beating the rattled Golden State Warriors 115-101 on Thursday night to even this unpredictable series and force a decisive finale.

Cleveland saved its season for the second time in four days and will head back to Oakland’s Oracle Arena for Sunday’s climactic game with a chance to become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, and give this title-starved city its first major sports championship since Dec. 27, 1964.

“One more game left,” James said. “I’ll play it anywhere.”

James added 11 assists, eight rebounds and again outplayed two-time MVP Stephen Curry, who fouled out and was ejected in the fourth quarter.

The Warriors never imagined being in this spot.

The defending champions, who powered their way to a record 73 wins in the regular season, won the first two games by 48 combined points.

But Curry and Co. have lost their touch, their poise and are in danger of seeing their historic season — and a second title — vanish.

Curry got tossed with 4:22 left after he was called for his sixth personal foul, cursed several times at an official

and fired his mouthpiece into the front row, striking a fan. Curry finished with 30 points, Klay Thompson had 25 and Draymond James Green, back from a onegame suspension, had 10 rebounds.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr felt the officiating was biased against Curry, who had never been tossed before.

“He gets six fouls called on him, three of them were absolutely ridiculous,” Kerr said.

“As the MVP of the league, we’re talking about these touch fouls in the NBA Finals. I’m happy he threw his mouthpiece.”

Curry walked off the floor smiling before making the long walk to the locker room.

“I didn’t think I fouled either Kyrie or LeBron,” said Curry, recounting fouls No. 5 and 6.

“It was obviously frustrating fouling out in the fourth quarter of a clinching game and not being out there with my teammates. So it got the best of me, but I’ll be all right for the next game.”

On Wednesday, James called Game 7, “the two best words ever.”

He’ll live them once more, thanks to a spell-binding effort — the two-time champion had a hand in 27 consecutive points and 35 of 36 during a stretch in the second half — and put away the Warriors after they trimmed a 24-point deficit to seven in the final period.

James scored 17 in the fourth before checking out to

a thunderous ovation in the final minutes as Cleveland fans chanted, “Cavs in 7!” and “See you Sunday!”

“It’s LeBron being LeBron,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said.

“He’s one of the greatest of alltime. Our back was against the wall and he took it upon himself, him and Kyrie, they put us on their backs. They’ve got us to where we wanted to be — and that’s Game 7.”

James is one win from cementing his legacy by ending Cleveland’s 52-year sports championship drought and winning his third title, the one the kid from Akron came home to win.

In typical Cleveland fashion, there were some heart palpitations in the fourth.

The Cavs were up 70-46 in the third, and when J.R. Smith blindly dropped a lob pass to a trailing James for a dunk, Quicken Loans shook with noise and thousands of fans packing a plaza outside the building began thinking about where they might spend Father’s Day. The Warriors, though, weren’t done. On the same floor where they won their title exactly one year ago, Thompson made a pair of 3-pointers as Golden State, playing without injured center Andrew Bogut, used a 2510 run to pull within 80-71 entering the final 12 minutes.

But James, as he did while winning two titles in Miami, made sure those belonged to him and extended Cleveland’s dream season.

For the Golden State Warriors, a golden year is suddenly stained.

“The playoffs haven’t been easy,” Curry said. “But we’ve given ourselves a chance with Game 7 at home.”

low the leaders they are.”

Klein said McAdoo was 11 targest behind the firstplace position, and still ended up 102nd overall. He said it showed how tough the competition is at state.

“I’m really pleased with our performance,” Klein said.

“There were multiple tied scores and awards are given to the top six in each division.”

Newton was one member short of having a full squad in the junior vanity division.

Four Cardinal shooters did compete for individual awards in the junior varsity event.

Joshua Adkison posted Newton’s highest score in

the male junior varsity class, shooting a 158 out of 200 to finish 265th out of 444 competitors.

Brooke Gifford shot a 157 out of 200 to finish 31st out of 131 junior varsity female shooters.

Newton competes in the 2016 State Sports Clays Championships Saturday in Ackley.

The Cardinals go to the 2016 State Skeet Championships June 25-26 in Waukee to wrap up the season.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You find it easier to hang out with people who share your favorite interests, but this is not a prerequisite to enjoying your friendship. In fact, you’ll be quite enriched by someone very different from you this weekend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When a person tries their darndest, you respect the effort, regardless of the result. Today, you might be on the fence about the efforts made by those close

to you. Be a good coach. Cheer them on to do better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Backward logic will be part of it today. Maybe it was a cover-up.

Maybe it was about trying to fix something that was so broken to begin with that it never had a chance. If you must throw up your hands and start over, it’s understandable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The one who makes an excuse for a partner is being loyal, but perhaps to a fault. The way to help people grow to their best selves is to expect them to be that.

Cardinal Sister Act Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Three pairs and two halves of the five sets of sisters playing for Newton High’s softball team this season are shown. From left, twin sisters Karley and Kennedy Leiker, Jaden and Kari Adams, Audrey and Fran Lucas stand together. At right are Anna Coyle, whose older sister, Lizzy, is on a trip in Spain, and Sydney Jenkins, whose younger sister Lakin left early Thursday for the NHS freshman game at Ames.

Five sets of sister play on 2016 Newton softball team

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” could be the 2016 Newton High softball team’s theme song for several reasons. One reason for that is like the 1979 World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cardinals are off to a strong start this summer.

The biggest reason is the 2016 NHS softball team has five sets of sisters playing on it.

Two of those pairs have starting varsity team positions.

Three seniors — Kari Adams, Sydney Jenkins and Fran Lucas — are playing their final season for Newton High with their younger sisters — sophomores Jaden Adams and Audrey Lucas and freshman Lakin Jenkins.

Junior Lizzy Coyle and freshman Anna Coyle are playing together on the junior varsity. Sophomore twin sisters Karley and Kennedy Leiker are two-year varsity starters.

“It’s kind of neat. I really hadn’t thought of it until someone pointed it out this year,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said. “It’s never happened here before.

I played with my cousin on the varsity when I played for Newton.”

McNew said she remembered seeing her extended family at games and the feeling of how great it was to see family members out supporting both her cousin and herself.

Kari Adams is the Cardinal varsity starting center fielder and Jaden Adams is a short stop for the junior varsity. Both bat and throw right-handed. Kari is in her 14th year playing softball and Jaden said she began playing softball as a fifth-grader.

The Adams sisters have played two years together on the Newton High team. They have played travel softball together also.

“Over the years, we’ve become closer,” Kari said. “We’ve been able to critique each other when we see something the other can improve on. We are each others’ biggest fan, and always there to support each other.”

Jaden said Kari is an amazing leader. She said her sister is someone everyone looks up

to, and has helped her keep her confidence up.

“She never lets me hang my head after a bad play or hit,” Jaden said. “She constantly puts a smile on my face with her goofy cheering. She has more softball experience and has good advice for every situation. It is hard to stay mad at her when I have to see her every day and interact with her as a teammate.”

Sydney Jenkins and Lakin Jenkins each throw right-handed but bat left-handed. Sydney is a fouryear starter for the Cardinal varsity while Lakin is playing on the freshman and junior varsity teams this season.

“I’ve helped her with her leadoffs on the bases, and have tried to help her with her attitude and self confidence, because I used to struggle with that part of the game,” Sydney said of Lakin.

For Lakin, the two years she’s played on the same team as Sydney have been good for her. She said her sister has reminded her she can fix anything she is doing wrong.

“My sister records me so I can see my errors and make adjustments,” Lakin said. “Being compared to her is a pro and a con, but she’s always there to pick me up after a game or at home.”

Fran and Audrey Lucas start at second base and third base, respectively, for the Cardinal varsity. Audrey is taller than big sister Fran and they both throw and bat from the right side.

The Lucas sisters have played together on teams since Fran was 8 years old.

“I think the biggest way I help Audrey is making sure she has her uniform and is on time for practice,” Fran said.

Lizzy Coyle at bat for the Newton High junior varsity this season.

“I also encourage her on and off the field. We are just always there for each other.”

Audrey echoes her sister’s words. She said Fran has helped her with the mental aspect of the game.

“She has always been very supportive of me,” Audrey said. “It is nice to always have someone you can count on, but we are sisters and we do argue about things too.”

Lizzy and Anna Coyle play together on the junior varsity team. Lizzy plays outfield and first base while Anna has become one of the team’s top pitchers. Anna pitches for the varsity as well as the junior varsity.

“Unfortunately, my sister is taller than I am,” Lizzy said.

“Practicing together is a way I’ve helped Anna plus I’ve been supportive and encourage her. We have fun together and have gotten even close while playing together on the high school team.”

“Lizzy caught for me even on vacations so I could improve my pitching,” Anna said. “She picks me up when

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Game face is on for Lakin Jenkins for Newton’s junior varsity this season.

I get down. We’re making memories together and having fun.”

Twins Karley and Kennedy stepped in as starters for the varsity team quickly. Kennedy is the oldest, but Karley is taller. Kennedy is the varsity catcher and Karley plays right field.

“It’s really cool to have a twin because she is always there to support me,” Karley said. “It is fun to play softball together. Our dad got us into softball and coached us when we were younger.”

Kennedy said they started playing softball when they were 6 and have always played on the same teams. Kennedy throws and bats right-handed while Karley bats from the left side of the plate and throws right-handed.

“We help each other and work together to become better players,” Kennedy said. “I love playing ball with my sister. She knows exactly how to make me feel better if I’m not having a great game.”

What is the best memory each sister has as teammates?

“Fun days at tournaments,” Lizzy said “Bus rides to and from places listening to music and dancing,” Anna said.

“Always being her partner whether it is playing catch or batting. We are always there for each other to talk to,” Fran said.

“My best memory was starting varsity last year and being nervous, but Fran was there to help me out,” Audrey said.

“We have a lot of great memories together, but one

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News

stands out is one of last year’s Dallas Center-Grimes’ games.

We were down one run, I was on third and Karley hit the ball. I scored to send the game into extra innings,” Kennedy said.

“My best memory of Kennedy and I is throwing a girl out at home (to Kennedy) from right field,” Karley said.

“Sydney randomly yelling ‘that’s my sister’ during games,” Lakin said.

“Yelling ‘that’s my sister’ when she make a good play or gets a good hit,” Sydney said.

“She hit her 11th home run this week and my favorite thing is when she crosses home plate and gives me a big, sweaty hug with the biggest smile on her face,” Jaden said. “Those are memories I will cherish because this is the last season I will play ball with her.”

“Every time I come into the dugout, she’s the first one to say ‘great job’ or ‘you’re OK, 6,’” Kari said. “She’s also the first one to meet me at the plate after a home run. Overall, having Jaden playing on the team has made softball so much better.”

These 10 sisters are helping the Cardinals have an exciting season this summer. Newton is 13-6 overall and heading into Friday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at Pella Christian, the Cardinals are 4-1 in conference play.

From their answers, playing on the same softball team with a sister has far more pros than cons.
