Local churches showing ‘Selma’ to spark understanding, conversation Screening set for 9 a.m.

Saturday at Capitol II Theater

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News As racial issues in America continue to flood national headlines a group of local churches decided it was time for a community discussion to take place.

To help spur conversation and understanding regarding race relations in the United States, with support from Newton Ministerial Association three pastors — Jessica

Peterson with Congregation United Church of Christ, Meghan Davis with First Presbyterian Church and Zach Bey with First Lutheran (ELCA) — developed the idea to host a free showing of the film “Selma.”

Jasper County Fair ‘Round Up’ kicking things off for fair in July

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News New this year, the Jasper County Fair is hosting a “Round Up” kick-off event for the fair starting at 4 p.m. Saturday at the fairgrounds.

Free to all, events include the Barnyard Babies contest at 4:30 p.m., arts and crafts booths from 4 to 9 p.m. and the crowning of the Jasper County Fair Queen at 7 p.m.

“Jasper County Fair Round Up

was created by a group of volunteers that wanted to do a couple of things. We have a couple of events that are included in the fair that don’t get a lot of attention because there are so many things going on,” Organizer Rhonda Guy said. “One of those was the baby review. When they had a new gal take over she asked to bring it back to the fair. We found that because of the amount of people that go to the review, we didn’t really have room at the fair to have it going on.”

Allen: First legislative session was a ‘crash course’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There were certainly some proposals state Sen. Chaz Allen would liked to have seen passed during the 2015 Iowa legislative session. However, he feels the legislature reached its goals in some key areas; and as a rookie senator, he received an important education. Allen said some of the lessons he learned about the legislature went far beyond procedure and protocol.

“Overall, this session was as much about me learning the process as it was about passing meaningful legislation,” he said. “I can help my district better if I understand all parts of the process better, and I’m getting there.”

Projects for the coming year were discussed and approved at the Newton Parks Board meeting Wednesday. More than $400,000 will be spent in area parks and at Westwood Gold Course.

“This is from bond proceeds that were passed June 1,” Public Works Director Keith Laube said.

“One that we already got bids on are the four pillars at Maytag Park to rebuild those. They are basically falling apart. The base is falling apart the bricks are cracked.”

Thought to be built in the 1930s, the pillars at the entrance of the park have held the test of time, but after being hit by a vehicle and wear and tear from a former gate, the pillars are in need of replacement. The total cost to replace the four pillars was proposed at $27,875.

Two new year-round restrooms were approved for Maytag Park and Woodland Park. At Woodland, a bathroom will be located near the shelter house, and after discussing location at Maytag, a consensus was made to place it near the Maytag Bowl, toward the south end of the parking lot.

The two bathrooms total $45,000.

Work at area parks include asphalt and surface work on the six tennis courts at Aurora Park along with playground equipment and a boulder park at

The idea came to move that event and the crowning of the fair queen to an earlier time so more people could participate in those events, who might typically be at another event during the fair as well as providing a kick-off to the fair, similar to the corn dog kickoff for the Iowa State Fair.

Skiff Medical Center names new Chief Clinical Officer Newton Daily News Skiff Medical Center is welcoming a familiar face into two high-profile roles at the hospital. Sonja Ranck, MSN, has been announced as Skiff ’s Chief Clinical Officer and will also permanently serve as the Director of Surgical Services.

Ranck, a longtime employee of Mercy Medical Center – Des Moines, has been working at Skiff in an interim capacity since January, first overseeing the surgical department, then taking on the duties of Chief Nursing Officer.

This involvement came as a result of Skiff and Mercy undergoing a pre-affiliation process which, as was recently announced, paved the way to Skiff ’s future as a fully owned Mercy hospital, effective this coming July.

“My boss came to me, let-

ting me know that Skiff had a vacancy in their surgical leadership,” Ranck said.

“Skiff does a consider able number of endoscopy cases, Ranck which has been my most recent area of expertise, so I was asked if I would be willing to come to Skiff two days a week on an interim basis to help out.”

As someone who is always hungry to gain knowledge, Ranck was up for the experience. “There’s always something new to learn. That’s one of the best things about nursing. There are always so many opportunities that come up.

You never know where a path will lead.”

For Ranck, it quickly led to

a new job she didn’t even know she was looking for. When the CNO position at Skiff was vacated in late winter, Skiff leadership immediately thought of Ranck.

“I was approached by Brett Altman, the CEO, as well as my Mercy colleague Laurie Conner, who has also been working at Skiff in an interim capacity,” Ranck said. “They asked me if I wanted to stay. Now, I hadn’t been seeking something outside of my job with Mercy in Des Moines. I’ve loved it there, and it has been an excellent fit for me. But from the very beginning, I felt a real connection with the people at Skiff.”

Ranck went back and forth on the matter. As a 14-year resident of Baxter, she noted one benefit would be a significantly shorter commute. In fact, tired of driving more than an hour each day, she had put her house

on the market, with the intention of moving with her husband to Ankeny. However, six months in, their house hadn’t sold.

“A friend of mine suggested that was a sign this was right for me,” Ranck said. “She called it ‘a God thing’ that our house had been reserved for us and this new venture. It sort of switched in my mind.”

Ranck got her pre-nursing training at Morningside College in Sioux City and completed her bachelors of science in nursing at Arizona State University. She later earned her masters at the University of Iowa. She has worked in a variety of managerial and director roles since 1990, primarily in Des Moines with the exception of a four-year stint in Chariton.

She and her husband, Scott, a middle school math teacher and high school sports coach,

have raised two daughters, Kylie and Emily, both now in their 20s, and enjoy spending time with their 2.5-year-old grandson, Brody. During the rare moments where she’s not working or with family, Ranck enjoys traveling to sporting events and doing genealogical research.

“I have a strange affinity for family history,” she said.

Such opportunities for research might become fewer and farther between; Ranck knows she has signed on for a busy time. Not only is she taking on two jobs, but one of them is more complicated than it has been before. The CCO role Ranck is taking on replaces the traditional CNO role, with the difference being that she will not exclusively oversee nursing departments, but also additional areas, such as pharmacy, quality, social services and more.

Healthy diet reduces risk for cognitive decline

By Deb Nilles RDN,LD Skiff Medical Center The month of June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness month. Every 67 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s. An estimated 5.3 million Americans of all ages have the disease. Evidence shows that eating a healthy and balanced diet that is lower in fat and higher in vegetables and fruit may help reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Follow these easy tips to help reduce your risk.

1. The next time you fire up the grill, throw some veggies, or even fruit, alongside the meat, poultry or fish. Use kabob skewers or a grill pan for mushrooms, peppers, onions, summer squash or cherry tomatoes. Brush the vegetables with olive oil or canola oil to keep them from drying out. Grill until tender which will only take 10-15 minutes depending on what type of vegetables you use. Grilled fruits like peaches, pineapple or mangos can also be threaded on a kabob and add great flavor to a cookout.

2. Add extra vegetables to pasta dishes. Slip some peppers, spinach, onions or cherry toma-

toes into your traditional pasta sauce. You can also layer grated carrots in with the lasagna noodles.

3. Get creative with summer salads. Toss fresh fruit like mango, strawberries, nectarines or diced apples in with your leafy greens. Add a low fat poppyseed dressing or low fat raspberry vinaigrette to complement the fruit.

4. Add vegetables to sandwiches and wraps. Vegetables add delightful crunch to both.

Try sliced tomatoes, green leafy lettuce, avocado, cucumbers or thinly sliced summer squash.

5. Boost the color and flavor of your omelet with vegetables.

Simply chop, sauté and add them to the egg as it cooks. Try combining different vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, onion or bell peppers. You’ll create a meal that’s dinner worthy.

6. Add berries and melon to low-fat yogurt for a cool summer dessert.

7. Make fruit your snack of choice. This time of year you don’t have to settle for boring.

Mangoes and fresh pineapple are more exciting than bananas and apples. Take advantage of fresh berries available this time

“The idea is, it has been about 18 years since we have asphalted those (tennis courts) which is about all you can get out of asphalt. We took off the playing surface and you can see the asphalt has cracked,” Laube said.

The city will partner with the Newton Community School District to complete the work, each paying $30,000 for a total of $60,000 for the project. Also at Aurora Park, a new boulder playground area is being planned.

“Many of us have been lulled into a false sense that racism is over because segregation is no longer explicitly legal and because we have an African-American president. But as we see in the news time and time again, we are not in a post-racial society and continuing to ignore issues allows them to fester,” Davis said. “Learning about the history of the Civil Rights movement helps us to understand the present and create a better future.”

current location, where the basketball court is currently located or even where the ball field sits, if it were to removed.

The board was unsure about how often the field gets used at this time. Further work will be done to find a workable location for the children’s equipment and for adults potentially coming to use the exercise equipment from Skiff Medical Center, Park Centre and Newton Village.

We shall overcome, but when?

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 18, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Jan. 8, 2015.

I had been the cops and courts reporter at the Newton Daily News for only three weeks when I went on my first police ride-along.

I spent the evening patrol with a young, pleasant officer who is still serving at the NPD today.

It was a fairly quiet evening in February of 2011, but we took a call regarding a middle-aged male subject who was allegedly looking at young teens from his pickup truck. We received reports that the subject was driving through a park in northern Newton. The officer spoke to a group of children in the park who corroborated the story.

The officer immediately recognized the subject’s vehicle and physical description and knew the man had a history of looking at young girls in an inappropriate manner. With a sense of urgency, the officer drove to the subject’s last known position, and we found the man driving through the southwest neighborhoods of town not too far from Maytag Park.

We followed him for a bit, and

when the subject arrived at his residence, the officer — a bulky built fellow in his mid-20s — spoke with the subject about his behavior. The officer had a very calming presence, but made it quite clear to the man this activity would eventually lead to a devastating place.

Knowing that he had no cause for arrest, the officer put the fear of God in the man without even raising his voice. This demeanor is a talent and difficult to mimic.

In smaller, Midwestern communities relationships with local police departments tend to be less adversarial. Core groups of repeat offenders might take issue with police activity, but the general public has an overall positive viewpoint of law enforcement.

But in larger cities, a contentious culture between minority and low income communities and police has persisted for decades.

The profiling and subconscious racial biases of the caucasian population toward Black America, Hispanic America and minorities in America in general has manifested itself in recent incidents of

police action against young black men in two notable instances, resulting in fatalities. For these cops, cultural misunderstanding leads to fear, which leads to aggression and hate. It’s easy to fear what is not understood.

The August 2014 shooting of black teen Michael Brown in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., is well documented, as is the rioting and violence which persisted after the grand jury decided not to indict the officer who shot the teen. This was followed by a widely agreed upon injustice in New York City where an unarmed black man was suffocated by an arresting officer in the aftermath of a nonviolent crime.

But as those who might feel farther removed form these events, we should attempt to look at these protests — both violent and peaceful — through the lens of history.

The new Hollywood adaptation “Selma” reminds us the shadow cast by the detractors of the Civil Rights Movement and the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act is not that far from memory. The

Our View

progress gained since the 1960s cannot be described in any other way other than fragile. We have given people the rights assured by the constitution, but our society has yet to prove we can rid ourselves of unconscious biases that still persist and truly transcend the legacy of our forebears.

This doubt has manifested itself in the events of Ferguson and New York. But police officers around the country go to work every day, not able to fully promise their families that they will come home safely, so the people of Ferguson and those around the United States can exercise their rights to peacefully protest.

Although the injustices by some police departments have been brought to light, as a society we cannot allow ourselves to forget the tens of thousands of cops who go to work daily to defend our neighborhoods regardless of the dominant creed, ethnicity or orientation.

Newton Fest a first-year success Newton Daily News

O

rganizers of the inaugural Newton Fest have made a point.

Celebrating everything Newton was a success.

Building on longstanding successful events including Alumni Weekend and Iowa Sculpture Festival, the added events created a buzz about town. Everyone was getting to know Newton in a variety of ways and having a great time doing so.

The attendance suggested that both community members and visitors strongly embraced Newton Fest, with hundreds attending

the scheduled events about town and an estimated 2,000 people visiting the downtown square on Saturday.

Our hats are off to a small group of young professionals that pushed for Newton Fest, secured sponsorships and found entertainment fit for families and adults, alike.

What was great about Newton Fest is that it included some of our favorite things — Maytag Dairy Farms, a Newton Community Theatre performance, an event focused on our unique history, a Maytag Pool party and several other events at and around the cornerstone of our

community — the Jasper County Courthouse.

Meanwhile, it was great our police and fire departments teamed up to showcase their vital roles in the community to children and families during its inaugural safety day. The chamber added its Ridiculous Day and car show to the event, both which help create the festive environment in Newton on Saturday.

There are many great things happening in Newton, and Newton Fest let us celebrate them.

Congratulations to the organizers on a job well done. We look forward to many Newton Fest celebrations in the future.

Most insurance companies, as well as the state of Iowa, have what is known as “TheOneBiteRule,” meaning your dog will be covered by insurance for the first By Curt Swarm b i t e . Guest Columnist T h e next bite is on your own.

The insurance industry keeps a lot of statistics.

One of them is the breed of dog that bites the most.

Pit bulls, rottweilers and German shepherds might come to mind. You would be wrong. The breed of dog that bites the most (are you ready for this folks?), is the cute, cuddly, elongated dachshund (pronounced “doxon”), otherwise known as the “wiener dog.” Yup. Sitting in a continuing-ed class for insurance, I about fell outta my seat when I heard this. So, when a wiener dog race came up in Burlington, I thought I’d go see for myself. I loaded up Buddy and camera, and off we went.

There were a lot of great dogs at the event, in addition to wiener dogs. I saw Great Danes, huskies, even a greyhound. Buddy is friends with everyone and everything, including cats. He would run up to a bulldog or pit bull, touch noses and want to play.

There was nary a problem with these sometimes fierce-looking dogs. But with the dachshund, there was a fifty-fifty chance that he would get his nose bit. In fact, of all the breeds of dogs in attendance, the only ones I saw that were raising cane and had to be restrained were the wiener dogs. They’re extremely protective. And reaching down to pet a dog, as one is wont to do, it was only a few owners of the dachshunds that warned me away.

A mailman was at the event. He cackled and stated, “Cute here, but I’m telling you, these are the

dogs (meaning the dachshunds) that give me the most problem. They go absolutely nuts.”

There was a costume contest for the wiener dogs, with owners and dogs dressed up like hotdogs and such; a wiener-eating contest for the kids; a parade for all dogs; and free ice cream. Buddy enjoyed the ice cream immensely.

Then the infamous wiener-dog races. Forty-two wiener-dogs were entered, the most for this 11th annual event put on by a private business, with all proceeds going to the Humane Society.

There were heats of five dogs each. Buddy and I stationed ourselves at the finish line, with camera.

And they were off.

Some of the dogs did circles and ran the wrong way.

Others seemed to know what they were doing and sprinted to the finish line.

The crowd loved it.

About the third heat, the classic wiener-dog confrontation occurred.

Two wiener dogs were sprinting to the finish line, one about a half-a-length ahead. The dog that was behind, not liking being behind, took down the lead dog in a snarling, snapping fracas of hotdogs. The crowd cheered, thinking it was cute. (This is called rewarding bad behavior.)

I rest my case. It’s all recorded on camera.

I think it’s just that dachshunds are so darned cute, with their long bodies and noses, and short little legs, that make people want to think they’re harmless little cutie pies.

Also, being small dogs, their bite might not be as severe as the bite from a larger dog. I don’t know of any dachshund taking down a horse.

I know I’m going to get a lot of response to this article, from owners of dachshunds who take exception to my musings.

Someone is going to say, “How dare you castigate the dachshund breed. My Trixie wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

I’m just reporting the facts, folks.

I think they’re cute too.

Man sends widow on a guilt trip for trying to end affair DEAR ABBY: I have been having an affair with a married man for eight years. At first, both of us were married, but my husband died two years ago.

Since then, my lover and I have grown closer, but he won’t leave his wife because of his kids.

I love him dearly, but cannot go on living life this way. He doesn’t want me to see other people. Every time I try to end it, he talks me out of it and makes me feel guilty for trying. I need help, please. — MESSED UP IN MINNESOTA DEAR MESSED UP: The little voice that’s telling you you can’t go on living this way is your rational thinking. The one that’s talking you out of moving on is coming from a selfish individual who is thinking only of his own interests and not yours.

As it stands, your lover has a harem.

If that’s fine with you, I can’t change your mind. But if it isn’t, remove the blinders from your eyes and end this romance because it is going nowhere and probably never will.

DEAR ABBY: I’m in a quandary.

Many years ago, we rescued a precious 4-year-old and her newborn brother from a horrific living situation and tried to adopt them. After more than a year and 16 contentious court hearings, we were devastated when the court returned them to their mother. I’m sure they have no idea how hard we fought for them, and I still love them dearly and keep tabs on them as best I can.

The girl is now 18, and I am retiring and will be moving away. I have a bin of baby things, school mementos, etc. for each of them that I’ve kept all these years, and which I will return to them. However, I also have the many photographs that documented their indescribable living conditions, the police reports, the court documents, etc. I strongly feel these should be destroyed, because to see and read this graphic

information would be far too traumatic and would serve no good purpose.

What do you think? Is it right to withhold this from them? — HOLDING ON IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HOLDING ON: I don’t believe in withholding information, so before you do, I think you should tell the young woman what you have and let her make the final decision about what should be done with it. ****** DEAR ABBY: I have heard this but never believed it: When a woman is beautiful, men are afraid to ask her out for fear that they will be turned down. I am 65, and all my life I have (luckily) been told that I am beautiful. I have imperfections, but if I were a man, I would be proud to be seen with me.

Men stutter around me, so they don’t ask me out. I attract younger men, but I live in a small town and I wouldn’t want to start rumors. Please tell me what you think about my dilemma, and will I ever find a soul mate.

— WONDERING IN GEORGIA DEAR WONDERING: You will find a soul mate after you stop worrying about what people say about you.

At your age, eligible men are scarce, so if someone younger shows interest, don’t make your decisions on outdated stereotypes, take him up on it!

Des Moines firefighters battling bedbugs at station DES MOINES — Firefighters at a Des Moines firehouse are battling bedbugs that may have hitched rides from an infested home.

The problem appeared after a Fire Station No. 4 ambulance was used for a call.

The ambulance was taken out of service for cleaning, but bedbugs were later found at the station.

Bedbug bites can cause itchiness and skin welts, but the pests don’t carry diseases.

prison for carjacking

SIOUX CITY — A northwest Iowa man convicted of firing a handgun in connection to a carjacking last year has been sentenced to more than a decade in federal prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the northern district of Iowa says 23-yearold Angel Gomez, of Sioux City, was sentenced Tuesday to 13 years in federal prison.

School board unanimously votes to demolish building CORWITH — The Corwith-Wesley School Board unanimously voted this week to demolish the district’s middle and high school building, which local families said they’re sad to see go.

The board voted Tuesday to raze the structure, a decision that superintendent Jon Hueser said was difficult for members but necessary.

It comes after years of financial difficulties and a September 2014 vote to dissolve the district.

Police say man intended to poison victim of sex assaults OSAGE — A 50-year-old northern Iowa man has been accused of plotting to poison someone who told police about being sexually assaulted by the man.

Mitchell County authorities say the target of Mark Retterath intended to testify against Retterath about being assaulted by Retterath in 2003, 2006 and 2012.

Retterath, of Osage, was charged Friday with attempted murder and remains in Mitchell County Jail. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call Thursday from The Associated Press.

5 Camp for people with special needs opens after May fire

SHERRILL — An eastern Iowa camp for those with special needs has opened despite a fire last month that caused extensive damage to a main building.

Around 55 campers spent Tuesday participating in a variety of activities, including swimming and playing volleyball, at Camp Albrecht Acres in Sherrill. Several rooms in the Kehl Center, where the May 13 fire occurred, were in use for campers.

—The Associated Press

Allen Continued from Page 1A “I was very pleasantly surprised about being chosen as the Ways and Mean vice chair,” Allen said. “Even though I already knew a lot of the individuals there, it was really a crash course for me.”

When asked about legislation that pleased him when passed, Allen first mentioned school funding. While the legislature didn’t follow state law by not approving a K-12 funding total until early June, and Gov. Terry Branstad still hasn’t signed off on it, the legislature got the state’s school districts much of its needed funding.

The legislature approved a 1.25 percent K-12 spending increase for 2015-16 and a $55 million one-time appropriation.

“I feel like it was kind of a draw,” Allen said on the debate of school funding. He added he has already voted for a 4 per-

cent increase in the 2016-17 state budget for schools, but the legislature was unable to hammer out two years worth of funding in one session.

Allen Allen said funding for correctional facilities and veterans were also priorities for him this session. SF 505, which has been on the governor’s desk since June 5, is the annual veterans health and human services appropriation. Allen said a past situation involving a family member might have been mitigated if that person could have received the proper services sooner.

“It’s important for law enforcement and all other agencies to be set up to share information routinely, so that veterans can get the benefits or help they need,” he said.

Moving past pain

to recovery

Allen said with both veterans and within the state corrections system, the emphasis should be on helping individuals overcome or deal with chronic issues so that difficult situations aren’t repeated.

Also, in another corrections-related matter, Allen said the mess with the not-yetopened Fort Madison prison didn’t lead to any direct legislation, but it certainly generated a lot of dialogue in Des Moines.

The conversations were not only about how to resolve the facility’s present issues, but also about whether awarding contracts to the lowest bidder should be policy.

“I think having the low bid and being a local (Iowa) contractor are certainly important,” Allen said. “But I also think there are a lot of other factors.”

There were several bills Allen supported, but, for various reasons, didn’t make it to the governor’s desk.

One was HF 631, which

would have provided for firsttime home buyers to earn a tax credit, and establish a separate savings account, among other provisions. The bill cleared the House by a 91-7 margin, but never made it out of a Senate subcommittee.

“This was a tough year to get a tax credit passed, with the budget so tight,” Allen said.

Allen said a gun-rights omnibus bill was proposed after lengthy discussions between sheriff ’s offices, the Iowa Firearms Coalition and others, but the same broad, inclusive reforms that led to the bill’s creation might have also made it too wide-sweeping to pass.

The senator said he wouldn’t be surprised if bits and pieces of that omnibus (some provisions included suppressors, firearms training for children, concealed carry listings) are reintroduced separately in 2016 as smaller bills.

Allen was listed this week by the website iowastarting-

line.com as No. 6 on a “Power Rankings: 2018 Governor — Democrats” list.

The list includes descriptions of why eight Democrats might be popular party choices after Branstad finishes his final term as governor. Allen’s section contains the rationale “He backed Branstad in 2010. He drives race cars. He looks like Iowa.”

However, Allen said he’s got a lot to tackle in the months and years ahead before there can be any discussion of running for governor.

“It’s an honor to be mentioned on any list with people like Tom Vilsack, who have been in government for a long time,” Allen said. “But I’ve got a lot to do. I have to learn how to do this job (as state senator) well before I even think about anything else.”

Milwaukee man gets 20 years for sex trafficking

PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR OLD NEWSPAPERS

M I LWA U K E E (AP) — A federal judge has sentenced a Milwaukee man to 20 years in prison for pimping two girls.

The U.S. Attorney’s office said Wednesday that 37-year-old Troy Randle was sentenced on two counts of sex trafficking.

Prosecutors say Randle began prostituting two girls from the time they were 14 through their 17th birthdays, until authorities arrested him in January 2014.

According to the government, Randle controlled the girls through “false expressions of love and loyalty” as well as through physical abuse.

Randle advertised the prostitution online.

Prosecutors say some of the sex trafficking took place on streets and at hotels in Milwaukee, but other times he accompanied and provided transportation for the girls to travel to Chicago, South Dakota, Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Fort Wayne, Ind.

Ex-bookkeeper embezzled $1.4M from farming co-op DES MOINES (AP) — The former bookkeeper of a western Iowa farming cooperative is admitting she embezzled roughly $1.4 million over six years.

Kathy Joan Cullen, who worked 27 years for the 21st Century Cooperative in Cass County, pleaded guilty Wednesday to filing a false tax return.

Under a plea agreement with prosecutors, she admitted that she wrote nearly $1.4 million in checks to

herself from 2008 to 2013 and deposited the funds in her personal bank account. The plea agreement says the state and federal government lost $553,000 in tax revenues as a result. In 2009 alone, she embezzled $300,000 from the cooperative, which she didn’t report as income.

The agreement calls for her to pay restitution to the cooperative.

Cullen was released after Wednesday’s hearing in Des Moines.

Sentencing is Oct. 1.

Travis, Cardinals shut down Warriors in LHC action

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — All phases of the game of baseball were clicking for Newton High’s Cardinals Wednesday on the road.

The Cardinals notched a 4-1 win against host Norwalk in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

“Everything was clicking tonight. We had great pitching, great defense and got the hits at the right times in the game,” said Dustin Brisel, Newton head coach.

“We hit the ball hard again tonight.”

With the victory, the Cardinals improved to 5-1 in LHC action and 9-3 overall. Norwalk’s Warriors dropped to 3-5 in conference and 5-8 overall.

“It was a big conference win for us. Norwalk is a good team and we faced good pitching tonight,” Brisel said.

“Now, our focus is on Friday night for conference wins and a conference championship.”

Defensive miscues costly for Cardinal softball at Norwalk

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — Newton High softball head coach Kristina McNew has been stressing the mental aspect of the game with the youthful Cardinals this season. McNew said her players don’t give up and they want to win,

but closing and finishing out a game have been a bit rough.

Case in point — Wednesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game on the road against Class 4A seventh-ranked Norwalk. The Cardinals battled back to tie the game at 1-1 in the fifth inning, but let things slip

away with three defensive miscues in the sixth inning.

Norwalk’s Warriors took full advantage of the three errors to score two runs. The Warriors defeated the Cardinals, 3-1.

“We are still playing good softball, but we continue to need to manufacture runs,” McNew said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Peyton Maher threw a four-hitter against Class 4A No. 7 Norwalk Wednesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play, but Newton High’s Cardinals lost 3-1. Maher, an eighth-grader, is 4-4 in the pitching circle this season for Newton (7-7).

“Peyton Maher had one of her strongest pitching performances of the season.”

Norwalk scored the first run of the game in the fourth on back-toback singles. Newton used two of its three hits of the game in the fifth to tie the game.

With two gone, junior Kari Adams doubled and freshman Kennedy Leiker chased Adams home on a single. The other hit in the game for Newton was a single by freshman Taylor Ryan.

“We’re building as a team. We have good team chemistry,” said Fran Lucas, junior second baseman. “We’re getting strong as we go. The younger players are adjusting to the varsity game.”

Lucas said pitching is proving to be a strength of the team. She said eighthgrade starters Peyton Maher and Anna Coyle, who is injured right now, have done well.

Maher was the losing pitcher at Norwalk, but limited the Warriors to four hits and walked one batter. Maher, (4-4) struck out eight.

Newton hosts Ames (3-11) in a varsity doubleheader Thursday at Berg Middle School. The first game is at 6 p.m.

The Cardinals step back into Little Hawkeye Conference play Friday at home against Class 2A second-ranked Pella Christian. The varsity game is at 7:30 p.m. at Berg Middle School.

Cardinals execs not behind Houston hacking ST. LOUIS (AP) — High-level executives of the St. Louis Cardinals were not involved in the hacking of the Houston Astros’ player personnel database, an attorney hired by the team said Wednesday, citing an internal review.

The Cardinals said they retained the Dowd Bennett firm for a review several months before this week’s disclosure that the FBI is investigating whether the team hacked into the Astros’ computer system that is used to track players and prospects.

“With what we have done so far, I am 100 percent confident that this does not touch upper management and does not involve people like John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt,” Jim Martin, an attorney for the firm, told The Associated Press. Mozeliak is the Cardinals’ general manager and DeWitt is the team chairman.

Martin said he was retained in February.

Mozeliak said in Minnesota that he and DeWitt were not aware of any information that the team used. The Cardinals have been aware of the investigation for “several months,” the GM added.

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 18, 2015 | 3B Sports Blanton picks up first win as Royals beat Brewers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Joe Blanton’s victory drought is over.

Blanton picked up his first victory in nearly two years with five solid innings and Alcides Escobar equaled his career high with four RBIs as the Kansas City Royals pounded the Milwaukee Brewers 10-2 on Wednesday night.

Blanton (1-0) had not won since June 29, 2013, while with the Los Angeles Angels against Houston. He limited the Brewers to one run and five hits. The 34-year-old right-hander struck out four and walked none, throwing a season high 73 pitches.

“I don’t know exactly how long, but it’s been awhile,” Blanton said. “At one point, it feels like a long way back. You think you have I lost it. You just don’t know. I fixed some mechanical things and fortunate enough to be back.”

Blanton, who made seven relief appearances after beginning the season in the minors, was making his first major league start since July 22, 2013.

He finished that season with a 2-14 record and 6.04 ERA and was released by the Angels in spring training 2014 and did not pitch in the majors that

year.

“It’s not ideal,” Blanton said. “I wouldn’t recommend it, not really what you want to do, taking a year off. But in hindsight, it turned out to be a pretty good thing for me.

Ryan Madson, who Blanton had not pitched in the majors since 2011, relieved Blanton in the sixth.

“Quite frankly when you get to spring training and you look at Joe Blanton and Ryan Madson, you think, ‘ok well, these guys had good careers, but do they have anything left,’” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It was real evident in spring training early that they both had a lot left in their tank.”

Escobar tripled with the bases loaded in a four-run eighth. He also singled home a run in a three-run second. It was his third four-RBI game.

Lorenzo Cain, who homered the past two games in Milwaukee, tripled, doubled, walked twice, drove in a run and scored a run, extending his hitting

streak to eight games. Cain’s triple in a three-run fifth scored Kendrys Morales.

With the victory, Ned Yost ties Whitey Herzog as the winningest manager in Royals’ history at 410 wins.

Right-hander Mike Fiers (3-7) took the loss, giving up six runs on eight hits and three walks in five innings.

“We just didn’t get much going all night,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “Mike wasn’t sharp tonight.

They put good at-bats on you and put the ball in play. He only had two strikeouts, which is a low number for him.”

The Brewers have lost five straight.

Trainer’s Room Brewers: OF Carlos Gomez, who sat out the previous two games with tightness in his right leg, was the DH and had two of the Brewers’ six hits.

Royals: LHP Danny Duffy (left biceps tendinitis) made a rehab start Wednesday for Triple-A Omaha, throwing 40 strikes in 65 pitches in 3 2/3 innings against Iowa. He allowed two runs on three hits, including a home run, walked none, hit a batter and struck out six.

Up Next Brewers: LHP Jimmy Nelson gave

up a career high 10 hits in five innings in his previous start, a 7-2 loss to the Nationals.

Royals: RHP Jeremy Guthrie, who starts the series finale, is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his past three home starts.

Infante Vote Puzzling Royals 2B Omar Infante moved to the top of the AL All-Star voting as his position, although he is hitting .227. Yost acknowledged Jason Kipnis of the Indians and Jose Atuve of the Astros are having “great” seasons. “If you don’t like it get out and vote,” Yost said. “Cleveland fans vote for your man. Houston fans vote for your man.

I’m not in charge of voting.”

Million Passed The Wednesday crowd 33,420 pushed the Royals’ season total to more than 1 million after 31 home dates. That is the earliest in franchise history to reach a million.

Royals sign top pick First-round draft pick RHP Ashe Russell signed with the Royals and will be assigned to their Burlington (North Carolina) club in the Appalachian League.

Bryant, Schwarber power Cubs in rout of Indians CLEVELAND (AP) — Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber provided a major boost to the Chicago Cubs’ offense on Wednesday night.

Bryant had a grand slam and Schwarber was 4 for 5, including his first major league hit and RBI, and the Cubshit four home runs to rout the Cleveland Indians 17-0.

The Cubs scored seven times in the ninth inning, which ended with Indians position players Ryan Raburn and David Murphy pitching.

The offensive outburst was the most runs scored in a shutout win by the Cubs since they blanked San Diego 19-0 on May 13, 1969.

The Indians suffered their most lopsided defeat since losing 23-2 at Minnesota on June 4, 2002.

Chicago’s rising young stars stole the show on the offense’s big night.

Baseball Continued from Page 1B game is at 5:30 p.m. at Eversman Field in Newton’s Woodland Park.

At Norwalk, Jordan Travis improved to 3-2 on the mound for Newton. The senior scattered five hits across seven innings of work, allowing one run. Travis walked two and struck out four batters.

The Cardinals’ leading hitter, senior Tyler Wood, delivered a two-run base hit in the first inning. Junior Drew Stout was hit by a pitch and senior Jeff Stanton singled, then Wood stroked a single to center field.

Norwalk used a double and a single to open the bottom of the second inning. The Cardinals gave up a run to turn a double play in the inning.

“They’re going to keep getting better,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

“I’m telling you, man, that was a nice night. You get a glimpse of what it looks like when everybody’s here.”

Schwarber, the fourth pick in last year’s draft who was called up Tuesday, tripled in the second to key a six-run inning and added an RBI single in the third when the Cubs scored four times.

Schwarber hit into a double play in the fourth and singled in the seventh.

He added an infield hit in the ninth.

Schwarber’s stay in the majors is expected to be brief. The plan is for him to DH in interleague games at Cleveland and Minnesota this week and send him to Triple-A Iowa where he will continue to be used as a catcher.

Asked if a four-hit night is making a case to stay in the majors, Schwarber said, “I’m just doing my job. I’m trying

Leading 2-1, Newton plated two insurance runs in the fourth inning. Junior Duncan Lee reached safely on a dropped third strike, Derek Damman, a junior, connected for a one-out single and senior Tristan Peters was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Travis worked a walk and forced in a run. Stout came through with an RBI single.

Travis and the Cardinal defense kept the Warriors scoreless for five straight innings.

Travis worked around a oneout walk in the seventh by striking out the next two batters to end the game.

Stanton and Wood, who hits at a .371 clip, finished with two singles apiece. Travis doubled. Stout, Lee and Damman each had a single.

Newton’s junior varsity lost 3-0 to Norwalk.

On Saturday, is the annual

Bryant, who was called up from Iowa on April 17, leads National League rookies in hits, RBIs, runs scored and on-base percentage.

Indians starter Shaun Marcum lasted only two innings, forcing manager Terry Francona to use six relievers to get through the eighth.

“Getting in that situation doesn’t feel good,” Francona said. “Early on, we started asking ourselves, ‘Can we not ruin our bullpen tonight?’ It turns out we had to. It’s still not a lot of fun.”

Raburn was given a loud ovation by the crowd of 15,572 while warming up.

In the ninth, Chris Coghlan drew a four-pitch walk before Starlin Castro flied out to deep center. After Schwarber squibbed a hit to the left side of

Justin Rose brimming with confidence in search of his second US Open UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) — Justin Rose was a 17-year-old amateur with no expectations when he somehow found a way to compete on the final day in the British Open.

He was 32 when he finally won his first major championship, outlasting Phil Mickelson two years ago in theU.S. Open at Merion outside of Philadelphia.

Now he’s the No. 5 player in the world and a contender almost every time he tees it up. That includes a final group pairing with Jordan Spieth in the Masters that didn’t get him a green jacket but left him brimming with confidence coming into this Open at Chambers Bay. “I feel like I’ve kicked on from winning my first major, sometimes it’s difficult to live up to that,” Rose said Wednesday. “I’ve won tournaments;

I’ve done all the right things.

Again, Augusta was another sign this year. I came up against a great Jordan Spieth performance, but again it Rose was a sign that my game was capable of winning these big championships.”

Rose has already pocketed one win this year, taking the Zurich Classic in New Orleans. He almost won again in his last outing, losing in a playoff at the Memorial to David Lingmerth.

He feels like he’s come into his own as a player who should be in the mix anytime he tees it up in a major championship.

“I’m 34. Let’s say the next six to 10 years are going to be more of my prime,” Rose said.

“I think from 30 to 40 I always felt was going to be the time where I was going to have to step up and win a major, to get that done relatively early in that time frame has been great.

Let’s call it six years, that’s 20 plus, 24 majors that are going to come around. I feel like if I just keep doing what I’m doing that’s going to throw up quite a few opportunities.”

It’s been a long climb for the Englishman, whose game sagged badly when he turned pro the year after he finished fourth as a teenager at Royal Birkdale. At one point he missed 21 straight cuts on the European Tour as he searched for answers.

Chambers Bay is an entirely different course than Merion, but Rose sees similarities. Par is usually a good number at the Open, and the rewards usually come with patience.

With a 2-0 count on David Ross, Murphy replaced Raburn. It appeared Murphy would get out of the inning when Ross hit a popup to shallow center. Rookie Francisco Lindor settled under the ball, but it fell behind him and he was charged with an error.

Murphy allowed a hit, walked one and hit a batter before Bryant’s grand slam.

Addison Russell, another of the Cubs’ highly regarded rookies, and Anthony Rizzo each hit two-run homers in the second and Denorfia, who had four RBIs, added a three-run homer in the third. Chicago sent nine men to the plate in the second and third innings.

Tsuyoshi Wada (1-1) pitched seven scoreless innings for his first win since Aug. 24, 2014.
