The second event in a new professional development series hosted by the Young Professionals of Jasper County is set for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Newton Development Corporation. The seminar titled “The Future of Work 2015 — 2020” is presented by Lin Chapé of Chapé Consults, LLC. “We approached Lin Chapé of Chapé Consults, to do this second event in our series,” YPJC President and event leader Danielle Rogers said.

became McKim’s dream.

“When I was 14, I went to a festival for Marine Corps vets, and something just clicked for me there,” McKim said. “It was my calling. My mom thought I wouldn’t go through with it, that I would change my mind, but I didn’t.”

McKim joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1992, right after high school graduation.

She then went to training boot camp at Parris Island.

McKim said that the Marines is known as the toughest and most challenging branch, but said “we got the best uniform.”

Change is in the air at Skiff Medical Center as several meetings are planned for current employees as the Mercy transition takes place, CEO Brett Altman said at Thursday’s board of trustees meeting.

Meetings concerning changes with retirement plans have already started as the final days approach before the transition.

Skiff previously had a 403B plan and IPERS and will be moving to a 401K plan through Mercy.

Altman also discussed changes within the board itself as Mercy takes over.

“This is our last official meeting as Skiff Medical Center as we exist today,” Altman said.

Employee Catholic Health education meetings are planned for employees only next week, with Vice President of Missions Laura Wenman leading the discussion.

Altman, along with several board members, will go to Des Moines on June 30 to finalize items with Mercy, signing documents to make the transition official.

The next day, July 1, several employee town hall meetings will take place in the afternoon with Altman and President of Mercy Robert Ritz among others answering questions and celebrating Skiff coming into Mercy.

Finally, a missioning ceremony will take place July 14.

The board will see Lin Chapé become an official member with voting power along with Ritz, Vice President of Finance at Mercy Mike Wagner and another

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News The United States Marine Corps is every bit a part of Newton woman and retired Marine, Mady McKim.

McKim insisted on learning English as soon as she came to the U.S. and, leaving much of her French culture behind, she remained a permanent resident of the U.S. until recently. Any permanent resident of the U.S. (formerly known as an Alien Registration Card, or “Green Card”) maintains the same rights as a U.S. citizen, in exception to the right to vote in elections or serve jury duty.

One of the items on the agenda is a part of Superintendent Bob Callaghan’s regular report. Callaghan is set to discuss the implementation of a summer professional development course called “Leadership Blueprint Training.”

That training took place this week at a district cost of $6,000 for 10 individuals. The

Corso receives Dimmitt scholar recognition SIOUX CITY— Monica R. Corso, of Newton, a sophomore in nursing, was named a Morningside College Dimmitt Scholar.

A total of 295 students were named Roadman Scholars and Dimmitt Scholars at Morningside in recognition of high academic distinction for the 2014-15 academic year.

Dimmitt Scholars must be full-time students who have completed at least 45 credits of college work with a cumulative grade point average between 3.50 and 3.75.

The award is named in honor of the late Lillian Dimmitt, who served as a teacher and administrator at Morningside College for more than 60 years.

Local News McKim Continued from Page 1A McKim served six years of active duty in Washington, D.C. She went on to make history as the first female Marine Mascot handler, which is the oldest post in the Marines. The Marines mascot is the bulldog, and it became her duty to take care of the dog and present him in parades. McKim started a trend, and said there have been between six and 12 women serve as mascot handlers since her premier.

“I really miss the brotherhood and sisterhood of the Marine Corps,” McKim said. “There’s this feeling inside me saying ‘I’m a Marine.’ I absolutely loved my job, loved learning new things. I always pushed limits, thrive to do better, and I think I really opened doors for other women.”

McKim has stayed true to the motto, “Once a Marine, always a Ma-

rine.” Since she retired from the Marines to raise her son, she joined the Reserves, and was stationed at Echo Company in Des Moines.

On April 1, McKim received her U.S. citizenship. Part of the reason for waiting so long, she said, was the expense of the forms and processing.

McKim was able to receive her citizenship under Ronald Reagan’s accelerated citizenship program for U.S. servicemen and women. McKim went through the entire process of naturalization, and read and studied for the test.

“I earned my way,” she said. “I learned English, and I stayed out of trouble so that I could [gain citizenship].”

Last year, Mady McKim married a U.S. Navy veteran, Jerry McKim of Newton. They met at the American Legion, where they enjoy spending time with friends, and “clicked” over their service in the military. Jerry McKim

“She is an absolute wonderful person, and I love her more than anything in the world,” Jerry McKim said of his wife.

In 2004, Mady McKim was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and could no longer serve in the reserves.

“I missed it [the Marines], and it took me a long time to get over it,” Mady McKim said. “But the disease doesn’t stop me, I push myself…”

Mady McKim said since her retirement, she likes to garden, bowl, go swimming and hang out at the American Legion.

She also volunteers to perform military honors at the funerals of local veterans.

This is the second of three-part professional development series the Young Professionals of Jasper County is hosting this summer. The series kicked off with a LinkedIn 101 seminar led by Goodwill Career Connection Center Coordinator Miranda Kulis on May 19.

“One of the main goals of YPJC is to serve as an impulse to spur personal and community growth,” Rogers said. “Myself, Nathan Unsworth and Natalie Umsted wanted to offer a short series of professional development opportunities this summer as a way to give our members, and the community, the tools and resources that are needed for professional growth and networking.”

The third, and final, part will be a Young Professionals panel on July 21 at Newton Development Corporation. A diverse panel of young professionals will come together to share their thoughts about Jasper County’s future and the role they, and their contemporaries, are playing in shaping it. They will also discuss what they are looking for in a workplace and their secrets for balancing careers with community involvement and relationships.

The seminar is free to attend and open to anyone.

The day McKim received her U.S. citizenship, she wrote, “I finally received my U.S. citizenship, taken my oath today ... I fell in love with the U.S. and I was proud to serve and to be here and was happy for the things that I’ve earned. I have been called an alien, a foreigner.

In the Neighborhood

Looking fear in the eyes

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | June 19, 2015

Most people have a fear of something — whether it’s rational or irrational is of little consequence. For me, one of my fears come in a small, eightlegged package. I admit it. I am afraid of spiders. If my Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher freed a boggart in front of me, it would look very similar to the giant spider that Ron Weasley faced.

It doesn’t matter that I know, logically, that spiders are smaller and usually won’t do me any harm. When I see one, logic goes out the window, often accompanied by my girliest squeal. It’s not pretty. It takes me a second to compose myself, and then I take pleasure in finding a blunt object to bring swift and immediate demise to my unwanted guest.

When you are outdoors, an unwanted encounter is often unavoidable. It is the spiders domain, too, after all. I don’t go out of my way in this case to end the life of the arachnid, but if that thing crawls on me, all bets are off.

Recently, I had a rather unexpected and unpleasant encounter with the tiny figure that

strikes terror into my heart.

I was helping my grandma by painting a few of the buildings on her farm. Most of her out buildings have metal siding, so there wasn’t a lot of painting to be done. The biggest project was painting the front of the old farrowing house so it was again a beautiful barn red instead of the the weather-worn look it had been sporting for a few years.

For being the biggest part of the project, it went surprisingly smooth (minus spilling the first tray of red paint from the top of the ladder, but I don’t want to talk about that). The wasps and bees seemed to have better things to do than to bother the humans, because I only caught brief glimpses of the insects and never when I was on the ladder.

Heights and I don’t always mix, but that’s another story.

The rest of the painting involved trim work on the main door and basement window wells. Besides trying to keep dirt out of the paint while crouching in the flower beds in front and back of the house, that part was easy.

When I got to the garage

trim, here’s where things took a turn. I had already completed the first coat and was finishing up the second coat of the upper boards. I felt very secure on the ladder, I didn’t have to get nearly as high up as I did with the farrowing house.

I had just dipped my brush in the paint, extended my arm toward the board, when a rather large and hairy looking spider appeared from between the boards, in the exact spot I was about to apply the paint.

I froze. I am happy to note that I did not scream and run down the ladder like a frightened child. I waited a beat and considered my options. I didn’t want to kill it where it was and ruin the paint job. I didn’t have anything on hand except the brush; painting it white would be amusing, but also kind of cruel. If it got stuck in the brush, then I’d have a bigger problem.

The best option seemed to use the handle of the brush to encourage it to move. I nudged it with the end of the brush. All I succeeded in doing was creeping myself out more as the spider used its web to repel down a few inches and perch in another

spot. I swiped at it again. Ha! I moved it out of the way.

But no, the web had attached to the end of my brush.

All eight legs were working double-time, making its way toward the safety of my brush handle. Instantly, I uncurled my fingers, freeing my grip on the brush. I’m not sure what else I could have done. I watched in slow motion as the brush fell to the weedy gravel below. Sigh.

I climbed down the ladder, inspecting my brush and the area around it for any sign of the arachnid. I saw nothing to indicate it was still attached to the handle. I picked up the brush slowly, ready for action if I saw my foe again. Nothing.

I couldn’t tell if it survived the fall, I didn’t spend any extra time trying to find out. I cleaned my brush off and finished painting — spider-free.

Admitting your fears can be difficult. Once you’ve accepted them, you can start to fight them. I like to think I won the battle that day.

The Uprising

Jeb Bush’s audacious announcement

Letters to the Editor

Showing early support for Clinton

Cindy Pollard Newton This weekend I hosted 12 friends and neighbors to watch Hillary Clinton’s announcement speech. The speech was everything I could have wanted — and more. What struck me the most about it was that she addressed the concerns of everyone in the room, including myself.

She said her candidacy was for “nurses who work the night shift.” I am a recently retired nurse who knows what it feels

like to spend nights at work on your feet, coming home exhausted, and going right back in the next day and doing it again because you know it’s needed.

She said her candidacy was for the people the Republican Party has turned their back on — gay couples who love each other. As a lesbian couple, my wife Gayla and I were not given basic equality but instead we had to fight for it. And we fought hard.

Not every couple has their marriage license hanging on their wall, but we do because we had to work for it and we want to be reminded of the hard work that

got us to where we are, but also as motivation to not stop fighting. And gaining the right to marry wasn’t just a relief in being able to openly love my wife, but it was also a relief because we got the other same rights that married couples have — I was able to join on Gayla’s health insurance to get a much needed hip replacement after retiring from my 40-year nursing career.

Hillary Clinton will fight for those who have worked hard, and I trust her to both protect the rights we have worked for and to make it easier for those hard at work to get ahead.

Presidential campaign announcement speeches typically rehash wellw o r n themes politic i a n s have long championed.

T h e y rarely include shockers By David Sirota or attempts to wholly redefine a candidate. Not so for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — his announcement address at Miami Dade College this week was an extreme makeover that included passages that likely had America doing a double take.

To start, Bush slammed politicians for being too close to what he called Washington’s “swarms of lobbyists.”

Yet, Bush has relied on that multibillion-dollar influence industry to bankroll his political campaigns.

The New York Times reports that during his campaigns for Florida governor, “Bush received at least $237,000 from hundreds of lobbyists, lawyers, political consultants and others in the capital.” In his presidential run, the Times also notes, he has already held “seven private fundraisers and meet-and-greets in the Washington area,” proof that “he seems to have mastered a skill that is crucial in this city: tapping into the money-raising clout of the K Street lobbyists.” The Washington Post followed up with a lengthy list of lobbyists now working to help Bush win the Republican presidential nomination.

Bush also slammed “pampered elites” and insisted he is “not just another member of the club.” Those lines, of course, came from the millionaire grandson of a senator, son of a president and brother of an-

other president. Later in the speech, in fact, Bush actually highlighted part of that biography, noting that he is “a guy who met his first president on the day he was born and his second on the day he was brought home from the hospital.”

Bush highlighted education, which he considers one of his signature causes when he was governor of Florida. But in his presidential campaign speech, he veered away from his own record, insisting he believes that “every school should have high standards, and the federal government should have nothing to do with setting them.”

That declaration came from the same politician who has been an outspoken supporter of his brother’s No Child Left Behind Act, which included a host of controversial federal education mandates.

Additionally, Bush has been a strong supporter of Common Core education standards, which have been pushed — and financially incentivized — by the federal government.

Then there was Bush’s criticism of President Obama. He said “it’s still a mystery to me why, in these violent times, the president, a few months, ago thought it relevant at a prayer breakfast to bring up the Crusades.”

That seems straightforward, except that Bush did not mention similar concerns when his brother, George W. Bush, made headlines for using the term “crusade” to describe his invasions of Muslim countries.

Give Bush credit for one thing: He did not offer voters a run-of-themill speech. He delivered a tour de force of sheer audacity. The trouble is, it’s the kind of audacity that assumes America will never bother to consider even the most basic facts about Jeb Bush.

Bad language, racist jokes set poor examples for kids DEAR ABBY: I recently married for the second time. My first husband was verbally and emotionally abusive.

My new husband is kindhearted and takes good care of me. I have one problem though. He curses all the time. (I don’t think he realizes he is doing it anymore.)

I believe that cursing makes a person look ignorant. What bothers me most are his racist jokes. I have told him I don’t like hearing him insult other races or cultures, but he still does it. He thinks the jokes are funny and he shares them with his kids.

I don’t think he is really racist; I just think he’s emotionally immature and doesn’t realize how rude his behavior is. What do I do? I’m embarrassed by it and don’t want to encourage it in his kids. — NO JOKE DEAR NO JOKE: Your second husband may treat you better than your previous one, but it appears you have married a man who is both a racist and a bigot. I don’t blame you for being embarrassed, because jokes of this nature reflect more upon the person telling them than the minority that’s being ridiculed. Point that out to him, if you haven’t already. And you should definitely explain it to his kids so they’ll understand that this kind of humor will label them.

DEAR ABBY: After 15 years of trying to establish a relationship with my in-laws, I recently decided to sever my contact with them. They have been deceptive and talk about me to my husband in whispers behind my back. I understand his loyalty to his family, but I strongly feel that continuing to deny that their behavior is unhealthy is unhealthy for me. Being forced to see them makes me physically ill.

How can I help my husband see that he can have a relationship with his parents without my participation?

— I’M DONE, IN ARIZONA DEAR DONE: Avoiding your inlaws isn’t the answer. If your husband hasn’t stood up to his parents and sided with you before now, your marriage is in trouble. Find a licensed marriage counselor who can “help” him realize that what his parents have been doing is undercutting his wife and sabotaging his marriage. Then cross your fingers that he’s strong enough to do something to correct it.

DEAR ABBY: How can I gently break the news to my sister that I am pregnant? She has been trying to conceive for more than a year, but is still unsuccessful. (I got pregnant within a month of trying.)

What can I do to avoid hurting her feelings when I tell her? I’m only a few weeks along, so I haven’t told anyone except my husband, of course. — EXPECTING IN THE EAST DEAR EXPECTING: Infertility issues can be extremely painful for couples who have been trying to have a child, particularly if the problem has been going on for some time.

You should tell your sister privately, in person, and before you start to show.

I don’t think it’s necessary to mention that you became pregnant after only one month, because it might appear that you are gloating.

Underage drinking: Not a simple rite of passage Newton Daily News The hot weather has returned, homework assignments are all complete, and your children have the next three months to sleep in and enjoy summer vacation.

Thoughts of bonfires, campouts, and the river fill your mind. You are certain that lifelong memories will be made and this is the summer you will never forget. As a parent, do your family plans and future memories include thoughts of alcohol?

The current culture includes high alcohol consumption and are exposed to alcohol every day of our lives. This is through, but not limited to, billboards, clothing, posters, music and television.

The messages we receive tell us

The board meeting will also become closed as Mercy is a private company, Altman said.

In the month of May, the hospital came

that alcohol is a fundamental part of having a good time, or that it is well-deserved after a hard work week.

Did you know? “About 8.7 million people ages 12-20 reported drinking alcohol in the last month,” according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

As a parent, have a major impact on your children and the decisions they make. According to the National Crime Prevention Council, “Research shows the main reason that kids don’t use alcohol, tobacco, or drugs is because of their parents — because of their positive influence and because they don’t want to disappoint them.” So before you say, “It’s just a rite of passage”

stop and think about the impact this thought has on your children and the choices they make. Your voice and opinion matter and your children want to know what you expect of them.

So enjoy your summer and the great memories to be made.

Gigabit + Speeds fuel the Internet at Iowa Speedway DES MOINES — Building on a recently renewed partnership with Iowa Speedway, Mediacom Communications today announced that its Mediacom Business Division will provide Gigabit+ broadband speeds for nationally televised NASCAR and IndyCar racing events during the June, July and August racing season.

Regarded as the “Fastest Short Track on the Planet,” NASCAR uses Iowa Speedway as a testing ground dedicated to

the “fan experience,” allowing race enthusiasts to get closer to the action, including pre-race access to driver introductions and open driver meetings, according to Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small.

High-speed Internet access provided over a robust broadband network is essential to meeting the growing bandwidth requirements of both U.S. and international news media delegations each race weekend, Small said.

Iowa Speedway is their place to race

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News A bang-bang play at first base didn’t go Newton High’s Karley Leiker’s way against Indianola in last Saturday’s Newton softball tournament. Leiker was aggressive running to first after hitting the ball, which is what the Cardinals have been doing all season — playing aggressively offensively and defensively. They defeated visiting Ames, 7-3, Thursday at Berg Middle School, and hosts Class 2A No. 2 Pella Christian Friday.

Cardinals quiet Little Cyclones

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Pounding out nine hits, including three going for extra bases, Newton High’s Cardinals produced seven runs and notched a win at home Thursday.

Newton’s softball team defeated visiting Ames’ Little Cyclones, 7-3. The Cardinals were coming off a tough 3-1 loss to Class 4A seventh-ranked Norwalk on Wednesday.

“The girls played aggressively tonight. P.J. (Peyton Maher) did great on the mound,” said Kristina McNew, Newton head coach.

Peyton Maher scattered six hits across seven innings of work in the pitching circle. Maher (5-5) issued three walks and struck out six in the victory.

Team-leading hitter Sydney Jenkins cranked out two extra-base hits — a double and a triple. However, it was a walk which allowed Jen-

kins to score the first run of the game.

Jenkins drew a leadoff base-on-balls in the first inning and Maher was hit by a pitch with one gone. Taylor Ryan supplied the RBI single.

Newton built on to its 1-0 lead with a three-run third inning. Jenkins tripled and scored on what was a sacrifice fly by Fran Lucas, who was safe when the Ames fielder misplayed the ball. Bailey Davis doubled in Fran Lucas

with one gone. Ryan walked and Audrey Lucas drove in a run with a single.

Ames manufactured a run on a double and two singles in the fourth inning. Newton responded by piling on three more runs in its half of the inning.

With one gone, Fran Lucas drew a walk and Maher singled. Davis chased home a run with a base hit and Ryan reached on an error followed CARDINALS | 3B

Two different styles of racing will be on the track at Iowa Speedway Friday and Saturday.

For the second of four race weekends in 2015, racing fans can enjoy the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Friday and watch the openwheeled sprint cars of the USAC By Jocelyn Sheets Silver Crown SeNewton Daily ries navigate the News 7/8-mile oval.

Talking to Sports Editor drivers from both series, they are excited about competing at Iowa Speedway. I’m in my third season covering races at the Speedway. I haven’t heard a driver from any level of NASCAR, the IndyCar Series or now USAC have anything but praise for the Speedway here in Newton.

Drivers talk not only about the track itself, but about the atmosphere, which includes the fan support of racing in Newton and throughout Iowa.

Did you know Iowa Speedway is the only track with the SAFER barriers all the way around on the outer walls of the track?

The Steel and Foam Energy Reduction (SAFER) Barrier, sometimes generically referred to as a soft wall, is a technology found primarily on oval automobile race tracks intended to absorb and reduce kinetic energy during the impact of an accident, and thus, lessen injuries sustained to drivers.The SAFER Barrier debuted in 2002 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

After successful usage at Indianapolis, the system began to be installed at several other tracks nationwide. By 2006, every oval facility that hosted an IRL IndyCar Series or NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event included the SAFER barrier. In 2006, Iowa Speedway became the first racetrack to install a SAFER barrier that extends around the outer circumference of the track, rather than retrofit one to a concrete wall in the turns. Most oval speedways more than a mile in length in the United States have since installed the system.

On Thursday, several drivers from the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series — Tyler Reddick and John Hunter Nemechek, who are two of the younger drivers in the series — spent time with youth at the Baker Boys and Girls Club in Des Moines. They were promoting NASCAR’s Acceleration Nation, the sport’s first-ever national learning and entertainment platform created just for kids.

NASCAR Acceleration Nation focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM). Content is designed to illustrate NASCAR’s Three D’s of Speed: Drag, Downforce and Drafting. NASCAR is in partnership with Scholastic to teach elementary and middle school students about math and science behind the Three D’s of Speed.

“NASCAR Acceleration Nation is about bringing kids closer to our sport in an entertaining and educational way,” said Brent Dewar, Chief Operating Officer, NASCAR, when the program was launched in February. “When you look at the speed and design of our race cars and their performance on the track, NASCAR represents a unique platform to teach math and science. Our goal is to make learning these subjects fun for kids.”

Efficient Jacobs pitches C-M to first win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Earlier this season, freshman Jonathan Jacobs threw six innings against Southeast Warren and was in the line for the victory at Colf a x - M i n g o ’s home baseball tournament.

On that day, Jacobs’ pitch count was in Nichols the 90s and he did not go back to the mound for the final three outs.

The end result was a narrow loss.

Given the chance to face another Class 1A foe, Jacobs again took the ball and put himself in position for a win.

This time, he was much more efficient and was given the chance to close it out with one final inning, and he took full advantage.

Jacobs scattered seven hits and allowed just one earned run over seven innings during the Tigerhawks’ 3-2 victory over Colo-NESCO in non-conference action Thursday night.

It was the first win for Colfax-Mingo, a young squad that finally put things together in all facets and was rewarded.

“We’ve all be waiting a very long time to get this win,” Jacobs said. “It felt nice to throw strikes and just let my teammates play well behind me. I had a lot of six-, seven- and eight-pitch innings because they made plays behind me.”

Jacobs needed just 77 pitches to register the complete-game victory.

And that came after tossing 20 in the first frame and allowing the Royals to take an early lead.

“He’s done everything we have needed him to do,” Colfax-Mingo coach Seth Milledge said of Jacobs.

“When I talked to him before the game I told him that we are going to get our first win today, but you have to throw strikes and just do what you do. He didn’t have to do too much because we have guys

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior catcher Jacob Buehrer, center, makes the tag on Colo-NESCO’s Matthew Hill (13) during the fourth inning in Colfax on Thursday. The out at the plate ended the inning and halted a scoring threat for the Royals. It would prove to be a big out as the Tigerhawks won their first game of the season, 3-2.

that can back him up and they did that today.”

The Royals lead was shortlived as the Tigerhawks answered with a pair of runs of their own in the first. Jacobs led off the bottom of the first with a double and freshman Jarod Nichols tied it with a two-out RBI bloop single that found some green grass in right-center field.

Nichols scored one batter later on an RBI hit by eighth-grader Zarek Hill and it was 2-1 after Hill was thrown out trying to stretch his single into a double.

It stayed 2-1 all the way until the fifth inning. Sophomore Jimmy Camp led off the inning with a walk and then Jacobs drew a one-out walk to put a runner in scoring position.

With two outs, sophomore Adam Teed came through with an RBI single to make it 3-1. It almost was 4-1 as Jacobs was thrown out at home to end the inning.

All three runs scored by Colfax-Mingo came with two outs.

“We got the monkey off our back for sure,” Milledge said. “I was on Twitter last night and I

saw (Chicago Cubs manager) Joe Maddon wearing a shirt that read ‘Do Simple Better.’

That is a mantra we can use.

We haven’t been doing simple. We were 0-12 coming in.

We have to take the win from the other team. We have to do simple better and we did that tonight.”

Nichols finished 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI, Teed was 2-for-3 with an RBI and Jacobs doubled, walked and scored a run. Misha Seebeck collected one hit for the Tigerhawks, who probably should be 2-0 against 1A competition this season.

“When we are playing against 1A talent, I think we can play with anybody,” Milledge said. “The two 1A teams we have played this year, we had both as wins. When we are playing like-size schools, we are competing. We can hang on our hat on that. But we still have to come out and play and not be defeated when we get off the bus against bigger schools. We have to play regardless.”

Jacobs had trouble in the first inning and seventh inning but did not throw more than 10 pitches in any of the frames

in between.

“I was a little worried that I might not come out too strong after the first inning, but I got over it,” Jacobs said. “I decided to let my teammates help me out. I trusted my team. The win feels great. Everything felt nice and I hope there is more to come this year.”

The Royals got an RBI double from Grant Tiarks in the first inning and Matthew Hill started the seventh with a walk and eventually scored an unearned run off one of the two errors the Tigerhawks committed on the night.

Tanner Clatt took the loss for the Royals. He went the distance, too, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and two walks.

The seven hits registered by C-N were from seven different hitters, but Hill and Christian Reischauer also walked. Hill and Brady Stoeffler score the two runs.

Colfax-Mingo (1-12) stays home Friday to face Heart of Iowa Conference rival South Hamilton at 7:30 p.m.

PCM baseball loses twice in Heart of Iowa play

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Prairie City-Monroe baseball team had a chance to make up some ground in the Heart of Iowa Conference Thursday when the Mustangs took on Class 3A No. 7 Gilbert at Principal Park during the day and Brown then hosted Roland-Stor y in Prairie City at night.

Unfortunately for PCM, the offense managed just six hits total in both games and were swept to drop to 3-7 in HOIC play.

Clay Cooper collected PCM’s only two hits during a 7-1 loss to Gilbert in Des Moines and then Roland-Story held the Mustangs to four hits as a team during a 1-0 win on the road.

PCM saved pitching ace Austin Brown for the nightcap, and the junior suffered his second 1-0 loss of the season. The Mustangs also lost 1-0 to North Polk on June 4 with Brown touching the rubber.

Brown allowed six hits and fanned two, but Roland-Story, which played at the state tournament last year, collected the only run of the game.

The Mustangs (4-10 overall, 3-7 in HOIC) offense had four hits against the Norse.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Chase Keuning, left, gets ready to apply the tag on Gilbert’s Dax Hatfield during the Mustangs’ Heart of Iowa Conference game against the Tigers on Thursday. Gilbert won the contest 7-1.

Cooper had one of them and also walked once. The other three hits were collected

by Trey Lindsay, Brown and Chase Keuning.

Brown walked three and struck out two in his six innings of work. Keuning tossed the final inning, did not allow a hit and struck out two.

Keuning pitched in the earlier game against Gilbert, too.

After Tyler Townsend started and allowed seven runs — five earned — on 10 hits and struck out two, Keuning came in to pitch the sixth and he

gave up one hit and struck out one while hitting a batter.

Cooper was on base three times in the loss. He had two hits, including a double, walked once and drove in the only run the Mustangs managed to score on the day.

Noah Clark was hit by a pitch and scored the team’s lone run. The Mustangs collected six walks, led by two

by Ricky Reeve. Lindsay, Keuning and Connor Warrick walked once each and Lindsay stole two bases.

Gilbert plated two runs in

the first inning thanks in part to a PCM error. The Tigers scored three in the fourth and finalized their scoring with two in the fifth.

The Mustangs return to action Saturday when they travel to State Center to play in West Marshall’s Rose Festival Tournament. PCM plays Collins-Maxwell/Baxter at 1 p.m. and then faces host West Marshall at 3 p.m.

Stenson, Johnson share U.S. Open lead UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (AP) — One mystery was solved Thursday in the U.S. Open.

Chambers Bay can be as hard as the USGA wants it to be. Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson shared the lead at 5-under 65, and the other 23 players who managed to break par in a gentle debut of the new golf course off Puget Sound agreed that it likely will only get tougher the rest of the way.

Another mystery deepened. Tiger Woods.

In a hole deeper than that bunker he found by topping a 3-wood on his final hole, Woods sunk to another low with the highest opening round of his PGA Tour career and his worst score by three shots in two decades at the U.S. Open.

He shot an 80.

Matt Kuchar, Ben Martin and Brian Campbell, the amateur who just finished his college career at Illinois, were at 67. In the group one shot behind was Masters champion Jordan Spieth.

Rory McIlroy had a rough day. He was frustrated with the bumpy greens and shot 72.

Sports Pressbox Continued from Page 1B Finally, the winter sports of NHL hockey and NBA basketball are over. I tuned in late in the Stanley Cup Final to watch the Chicago Blackhawks win and the Cup being carried around.

Not so much of an interest for me in the NBA Final, except to see LaBron James lose.

Sorry, but the man just is too full of himself for my liking. He may be a great person and all, but to declare himself “the best player in the world; it’s (that) simple,” just puts him off my radar.

Let other people say that of him and that’s fine, I can handle that. Don’t agree, but I can deal with it. James is the player who had “The Decision” — a special on television when he was a free agent leaving Cleveland for Miami. Too full of himself for me.

Speaking of decisions — because of the outcry of too many Kansas City Royals fans voting for their favorite Royals to be on the American League All-Star team, it appears MLB is leaning toward stopping the process. The Kansas City fans are ruining it for all other fans, it is being said.

When did the Kansas City Royals and their fans become so bad? When the upstart Royals, a group of younger players, won the 2014 American League pennant. The lowly Royals celebrated too much when they got a hit, when they won a game, when they did anything. They were playing like a bunch of youngsters. And their fans were connecting with them.

How dare they.

The Royals’ fans are voting. Just saying.

MLB holds back on hacking probe while federal investigation is ongoing

By Noah Trister AP Baseball Writer The case of compromised Houston Astros player intel is a federal investigation, not a baseball probe, says MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.

That doesn’t mean he can’t hand down penalties as more information comes to light about whether St. Louis Cardinals employees hacked into a personnel database belonging to the Astros.

For decades, baseball’s leadership has handed out discipline to players and management figures for all sorts of reasons. But corporate espionage via computer is a fairly new threat to the game’s integrity, far different from offenses such as stealing pitching signs or using pine tar. There’s no real precedent that might indicate how baseball will handle this matter, and for now, Manfred seems content to let the criminal investigation lead the way.

Major League Baseball

said it will evaluate additional steps once federal law enforcement officials complete their investigation.

A person familiar with the Manfred investigation has told the AP that federal authorities are looking at whether the Cardinals were to blame for what Major League Baseball called a “breach” of the Astros database.

Laws that could apply in the situation include the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Economic Espionage Act, said Chip Pitts, a law school lecturer at Stanford. Pitts said it’s important for authorities to determine if this was a case of stealing trade secrets, or if there were other motives for the possible breach.

With sports franchises becoming increasingly reliant on data and technology, Pitts said the criminal

Royals beat Brewers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — No manager in Kansas City Royals’ history has won as many games as Ned Yost.

The latest win came Thursday night when Alcides Escobar had three hits and Jeremy Guthrie pitched six effective innings as the Royals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2.

With the victory, Yost surpassed Whitey Herzog as the winningest manager in franchise history with 411 wins.

Earlier in the month Yost moved past Dick Howser, who managed the Royals to their only World Series championship in 1985.

“It’s nice, but again I don’t look at it as an individual achievement,” Yost said “First of all, I don’t feel like I’m in the same class as Whitey Herzog and Dick Howser, one. Two, this is an organizational-wide achievement and I’m proud to be part of that. Everybody is involved.”

Yost said general manager Dayton Moore could have fired him “two or three times, but didn’t.” Yost has a 411427 record as Royals manager.

Escobar doubled to lead off the Royals’ two-run first then scored on Lorenzo Cain’s sacrifice fly. Escobar singled in the second, stole second base and scored on Mike Moustakas’ two-out single.

Kendrys Morales’ two-out single in the first drove in Eric Hosmer, who had doubled,

with the other Royals’ run.

Guthrie (5-4) picked up his first victory since May 20, allowing two runs and seven hits, walked none and struck out four.

Relievers Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland held the Brewers to one hit over the final three innings.

“I hated taking Jeremy out of that ball game after six, but when you’ve got a one-run lead and a fresh Herrera, Davis and Holland down there, the decision was easy,” Yost said.

Davis pitched out of a bases loaded, one-out jam in the eighth. He retired Adam Lind on a foul popup then struck out Scooter Gennett looking.

Holland, who gave up three runs, four hits and a walk at Milwaukee on Monday, worked the ninth to earn his 12th save in 13 opportunities.

The Brewers got all their runs in the fifth on Gerardo Parra’s sacrifice fly and Jonathan Lucroy’s two-out RBI single.

Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson (3-8) surrendered three runs and a career-high 11 hits in five innings. In his past two starts, Nelson has allowed 21 hits and 10 runs in 10 innings.

“Right now I’m discouraged because we lost,” Nelson said. “I don’t care how many hits I give up as long as we win. It’s hard to think about anything good right now after a loss.”

Twins defeat Cardinals MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins have been struggling to score this month, with Joe Mauer and Kennys Vargas at the top of the slump list.

Well, guess who hit the home runs to tie and win the game in the last two innings?

Vargas hit a solo shot with two outs in the bottom of the ninth Thursday, lifting the Twins to a 2-1 victory and a two-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals.

“It’s always fun to get out there and jump around,” said Mauer, who went deep in the eighth to answer Jason Heyward’s solo shot for the Cardinalsin the seventh.

Arriving at home on the first game-ending hit of his career at any level, Vargas was showered with water and a bucket of bubble gum in celebration. He grounded into two double plays, ruining

a bases-loaded rally on one of those with one out in the seventh inning, and he’s only 5 for 27 since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester.

Before the game, Twins manager Paul Molitor pulled Vargas aside by the batting cage and encouraged him to refocus on having fun.

“You hope it takes some of the weight off that he’s been carrying,” Molitor said.

It sailed into the right-field seats on a slow 1-1 curveball from Carlos Villanueva (3-2).

“It’s, for me, something special that I’m going to remember all my life,” Vargas said.

Villanueva said he tried to throw the pitch on the outside of the plate so Vargas would chase it.

“The ball came back over the middle,” Villanueva said.

St. Louis lost for the first time in 35 games this year when leading after seven innings.

investigation could be an attempt to prevent a cyber war from breaking out, putting every team at risk. Any penalties, he said, would have a deterring effect.

“Criminal penalties in our society — and all societies around the world — have a greater social stigma,” Pitts said. “It is significant that we’re talking about criminal penalties.”

With a union that represents the players, baseball has a formal policy on things like drug suspensions. But when it comes to disciplining management employees, the commissioner has authority within baseball to take whatever action he deems appropriate.

New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was suspended 15 months after pleading guilty to conspiring to make illegal contributions to the re-election campaign of President Richard Nixon. The 1974 suspension came three months after the guilty

plea.

Steinbrenner was also banned for 2 1/2 years, starting in 1990, for paying self-described gambler Howie Spira to obtain negative information on outfielder Dave Winfield. Spira served nearly 2 years in prison for extortion related to the scandal.

The issues in those cases were much different than what Manfred is facing now, though both involved legal investigations and proceedings.

Whether or not the investigation of the Cardinals results in criminal convictions, baseball’s big question may be whether anyone employed by the team compromised the sport’s competitive environment.

Although Manfred has deferred to law enforcement so far, Pitts said he suspects baseball is taking this issue very seriously.

“I’ll bet they’re starting to think about — how widespread is this problem?” he said.

NEWTON

DAILY NEWS 641-792-5320

Astrograph

Tuesday’s new moon turned a fresh page in the cosmic diary.

What to write? As it happens in diaries, even when there’s much to look forward to, the opportunity to use up a clean page rehashing past disappointments is all too tempting.

Hopefully the Leo moon will bring enough dramatic fun to overshadow that temptation.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 19). You’ll be an important addition to a company. The venture you give your energy to in July will grow over time if you invest fully. In September, you’ll work on improving your environment, and beautiful things will happen. Your

love life blossoms in October.

You’ll be paid well to solve a problem in November. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 49, 42, 31 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Maybe you’ve had bad experiences in the past, but now you’re due for a good one. An energizing flirtation may be among the day’s treats. Even if you’re in a committed relationship, you can’t help but be flattered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Low on faith? It’s not so wrong to ask for proof once in a while. If you ask for it today,

you’ll get it -- or at least you’ll get a symbol of the evidence you seek.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Are you impatient with the process of change? Don’t get ahead of yourself. Take steps to return to your usual grounded state. A walk in the sunshine may do the trick.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If you are uncertain and act like you are, others will try to take control of the situation.

Be a leader instead. Be decisive. It doesn’t matter whether you’re wrong or right at this point; it only matters that you make a decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Cooperation is love. Uncooperative

situations are not reflections of love. Find ways to get along without giving up your truth.

There’s a compromise that will be a win for all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Relationships that grow slowly become deeply rooted. You need solid ties at this juncture.

They will help you down the road. So be patient with the way things are developing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You attract houseguests. Can you blame them for plotting to stay with you? Your home is cozy, and everyone feels comfortable in the environment you’ve created.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You are not defined by the

goals you meet. You’re worthy of love regardless of what you achieve. Tonight, advice may sound like criticism, but there’s still something valuable in it if you can get past the tone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Every relationship comes with its share of mixed feelings, and they can all be worked through. Replace the not so awesome feelings along the way until there is only love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Think ahead, make a plan, and hold your dearest intentions at the forefront of your mind. Your ability to shut out distractions and focus intently for many hours at a time will

win you a prime position or assignment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It may seem like money is flying out of your account, but you can’t put a price tag on experience. For now, enjoy yourself without worrying about the cost.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s quite possible that the voice whispering to your heart is the voice of “future you.”

Future you just wants to let you know about a few decisions you could make today that would help you enjoy health and happiness for years to come.
