Race fans delighted with first weekend at Iowa Speedway

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Race fans enjoyed all the Iowa Speedway had to offer on Saturday and Sunday. From fans less than a year old to those who have seen more than a few races, everyone enjoyed the first race of the season.

“We like it down here. It’s nice coming down and getting away with just my son,” Dan Matykiewicz said.

Matykiewicz along with his son Daniel came from Stacy, Minn., just north of the twin cities, to celebrate Father’s Day weekend. The two were enjoying a friendly game of bags prior to Saturday’s race.

It was the third year the duo has come to Newton for a race weekend and they hope to come back for another race this year.

“We’ll come back maybe for the July weekend race hopefully,” Matykiewicz said.

Bags was one of the many activities fans had the opportunity to participate in before the flag dropped. New this year, the Speedway increased the size of entertainment for the fans on the concourse.

One of the new games had fans climbing on a giant pool table and using their feet to kick “pool balls” in the form of painted soccer balls into the pockets. Young fans Hunter Fasse, Jacobie Garland and Brody Magruder took in a game but found it a little more challenging than they expected.

“These are soccer balls, which makes it way more harder,” Fasse said.

Other enlarged games at the Speedway included the classics checkers and Connect Four. Games

NCSD teacher salaries determined through arbitration Other salaries determined through direct discussions

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Last week’s announcements by Newton Community School District budget administrators about budget cuts did involve some autonomous decisions from the district, but its biggest salary expenditure increase for Fiscal 2017 did not come entirely from district leaders.

After exchanging an initial proposal and counter-proposal publicly in early March, the

district and the Newton Community Educators Association proceeded through the typical closed-door steps of union contract negotiations. The teachers and the district went to arbitration as one of the steps of resolving the differences it had with the district in reaching a settlement, which ended with teachers receiving a 3.25 overall compensation (salary plus benefits) increase for the 2016-17 school year.

The teachers opened with a 6.5 percent pay increase proposal. The district countered with 2 percent, and the 3.25 percent increase was the compromise issued after arbitration hearings.

The increase adds about $560,000 to the district’s expenses for 2016-17 for teachers alone, while the Iowa legislature and Gov. Terry Branstad only provided school districts with a 2.25 percent increase in funding, which meant $178,000 in new money to Newton. That meant the NCSD would ARBITRATION | 3A

Newton motorcycle insurance rate lower than state average NEW YORK — According to research from Value Penguin, Newton has the seventh lowest motorcycle insurance rate in the state of Iowa.

Value Penguin is a data-based research company out of New York that examines credit card and insurance rates data, research and reviews.

Newton ranked seventh in the study with a rate of $291 average annual rate, -9.9 percent difference versus the state average.

The study analyzed motorcycle insurance quotes for a sample policy and rider across 31 municipalities and census-designated places in the state of Iowa. The quotes we gathered were from four major carriers: Progressive, Nationwide, GEICO and Dairyland. The motorcycle used was a Harley Davidson Street Glide (1690cc) with no anti-theft device installed.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Promotional products distributor PSG Geiger recently opened a Midwest location in Newton, expanding from its home base of Raleigh, N.C.

PSG finding Midwest home in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Raleigh, N.C. based PSG Geiger has expanded to the Midwest by opening a new location in Newton.

The new office is the promotional products distributor’s first location in Iowa.

“Iowa was a natural choice to bring our experience in branding solutions to a region with many companies in the industries which we serve,” PSG Geiger Owner Scott Youmans said. “Newton offers a rich talent pool of individuals with the experience to help us better support our customers and current teams in our Raleigh headquarters.”

The office, 205 First Ave. W., is led by Stephanie Hobbs, a senior sourcing and merchandising man-

ager, who as been with PSG Geiger for eight years. Along with Hobbs, the office has two full-time employees, a dedicated sales partner and an experienced marketing professional, which the company is looking to hire locally.

The company decided to open the Newton location to better serve a growing client base in the Midwest region. The office will provide local support to area businesses and draw from the talent in the region.

“Our employees here in town have had a work at home program previously and it is nice to actually have an office where we can all work together, see each other and be collaborative,” Hobbs said.

PSG Geiger is a part of the Geiger family of companies, the largest privately owned and operated distributor in the promotional in-

dustry in the United States. Geiger was founded in 1878 and produces the well-known Farmer’s Almanac.

Geiger is based in Lewiston, Maine.

PSG is a wholly-owned specialized division that uses its branding expertise in the building, industrial and commercial industry using retail inspired product collections and engaging marking solution.

Using the relationship PSG has with Geiger allows it to access a worldwide operational infrastructure to help serve the evolving business need of its corporate and enterprise customers. It is known as a one-stop shop for promotion products and business gifts with thousands of items to select from to fulfill branding needs.

MOUNT PLEASANT, South Carolina (AP) — It’s a troublesome story playing out across America in the 10 years since the housing bubble peaked and then burst in a ruinous crash: As real estate has climbed back, homeowners are thriving while renters are struggling.

For many longtime owners, times are good.

They’re enjoying the benefits of growing equity and reduced mortgage payments from ultra-low rates.

But for America’s growing class of renters, surging costs, stagnant pay and rising home values have made it next to impossible to save enough to buy.

The possible consequences are bleak for a nation already grappling with economic inequality: Whatever wealth most Americans possess mainly comes from home equity. An enlarged renter class means fewer Americans can build that same wealth and financial security.

Nearly two-thirds of adults still own homes.

And some who rent do so by choice. Yet ownership has become a more distant dream for the many Americans who still regard it as a route to prosperity and pride. The problem has become especially severe in areas that offer the best job prospects as well as those that have been battered by foreclosures.

“It doesn’t paint a pretty picture,” said Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Zillow, the online real estate database company. “You’re really blocking out a group of buyers from owning a home. They’re truly living paycheck to paycheck, and that does not put them into a good position to buy.”

What do you mean you can't hear me?

Local & State News Arbitration Continued from Page 1A be spending about $400,000 more to pay teachers in the next school year, before contracts with other groups, such as custodians and secretaries, could even be addressed in direct, non-arbitration negotiations.

All salaries, by Iowa Code, are paid from general funds. These cannot be mixed with penny-tax SAVE funds or PPEL expenses, which can only be used for the types of construction or remodeling happening this year at the former Hy-Vee West building or included in the Berg Complex bond proposal.

At last week’s regular NCSD board meeting, Business Director Gayle Isaac pointed out salaries account for about 82.5 percent of all general-fund expenses.

Newton Schools spends

about $20 million of its $38 million budget on salaries, and announced some cuts last week to save about $200,000 from the non-personnel portion of the general fund, including color printing costs and campus and classroom budgets.

“With the cuts we’re making, that 82.5 percent is going to go up,” Isaac said. “As we cut out things that were in that other 17.5 percent, salaries will make up an even larger fraction of general expenses.”

The increase to teacher compensation added $603 to the “generator base,” used to calculate how much each teacher makes before adding in other factors like endorsements or seniority.

That means every new teacher to the district will make $603 more in 2016-17 in Newton than they would have made in 2015-16.

Increases for other groups only came to a

Speedway Continued from Page 1A weren’t the only activities available to fans. The bucking bull thrilled those willing to climb aboard for a ride while racing simulators gave fans the opportunity to sit behind the wheel and com-

total of $230,000. Administrators will receive a total of about $37,000 more in 2016-17 based on a 2.25 percent increase in line with the state funding elevation.

The group technically receiving the biggest raise at more than 4 percent — secretaries — will make a collective $34,000 more next year, so their increase hardly requires the largest overall adjustment.

NCSD Superintendent Bob Callaghan said the teacher contracts were the only ones that involved the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board.

“Only the NCEA contract included mediation with PERB,” Callaghan said.

This is the first year in recent memory a public session has been held to unveil initial proposals for Newton teachers union contracts.

One last plea to JT

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

N

early two weeks ago the Newton Can’t Stop the Feeling video was posted on YouTube. Today it has more than 15,000 views, yet we haven’t garnered any attention from Justin Timberlake himself.

Here is another attempt.

I know you all Can’t Stop the Feeling — it’s Still on My Brain too. Let’s Take a Ride and recall how this viral video produced in our lovely city all went down.

For me it began when I received a text from a friend. “Will you dance in a remake of a Justin Timberlake video?” Damn Girl, I said … Until the End of Time!

The idea was to get everyone Lovestoned by both Newton and Justin Timberlake to Let the Groove Get In. And why not? The Newton video was launched in conjunction with the second annual Newton Fest. This small-town Cabaret is a cel-

ebration of all things Newton, and I don’t mind saying it’s a TKO. Unfortunately for me, I had to go Bye Bye Bye during Newton Fest because my cousin was getting married out of town — it was really Tearin Up My Heart.

However, I decided It’s Not a Bad Thing to contribute to the video anyway. I was already really into Justin’s new release so I decided What Goes Around Comes Around, let’s spread some positive energy.

But then I started thinking about dancing in public … on video … to be distributed to the masses. I emailed the video producer — let’s call her Pusher Love Girl — and she’s Like I Love You for your concern, but don’t worry about it, you’re dancing in front of the car wash. This must be Summer Love, I thought, I need to wash my car anyway!

That evening I felt like I could Take Back The Night practicing dance moves in my living room when I noticed some people could see me through the windows. I basically wanted to Murder myself I was so embarrassed so I stopped and prayed they’d have Amnesia. Only When I Walk Away from my dance practice I get an email that the video shoot is set.

There were tons of awesome Newton people scheduled for the video, and I was really anxious to see what everyone was going to wear — a Suit & Tie perhaps — and how they were going to dance.

So I grab my Strawberry Bubble Gum and head to the car wash with my friend.

When That Girl the video producer showed up she’s like Gimme What I Don’t Know and I busted out my dance moves.

But then as soon as I finished my routine she made me do it All Over Again.

Next we went to Newton Hy-Vee for two other dance segments — one performed by a lovely local Señorita and another by one of their funniest employees.

You would have thought we riding in a

Spaceship Coupe by the looks we were getting in the aisles. In the end those routines were some of my favorites.

Next we headed to Dan’s Sandwich Shop which was super fun. Dan showed us he was Worthy Of the location shoot with his moves behind the counter and our state senator was like I can Take It From Here with my own skills — eating pie and dancing in a booth.

We headed to the courthouse and other various locations for footage, occasionally checking Mirrors to make sure we were video ready.

Finally the video producer decided we needed Nothin’ Else and she went to work creating an amazing video that celebrates Newton — a city that’s basically bringing SexyBack.

While it did draw thousands of views, Des Moines media attention and perhaps even a few visitors to Newton Fest we didn’t land a retweet from Justin Timberlake. Cry Me a River, right?

Eye on America John Stossel

My lunch with Hillary I had lunch with Hillary Clinton.

Really.

I was on vacation on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, at a hotel that’s a mixture of villas-for-rent that stand right next to big houses owned by rich Americans.

One day, several black SUVs arrived — men in suits wearing earpieces got out. I asked another tourist, “What’s that about?”

“Bill and Hillary Clinton may stay here,” he said.

Another tourist said, “That’s just a rumor.” But a few days later, Secret Service men surrounded a big house owned by Black Entertainment Television billionaire Bob Johnson. He’s a big Clinton supporter. It was clear that the former president had arrived.

We then wondered, “Are both Bill and Hillary here?”

This was 2006, five years after Bill left office, 10 years after his affairs with Monica Lewinsky and others had been revealed. Pundits said the Clintons had a “political marriage” — that they didn’t actually live together.

So we tourists asked, “Is it Bill with someone else?”

We got our answer quickly. There were the former president and first lady, strolling down our beach.

“Holding hands!” gasped a tourist. “Is it just for show?”

Who knows? But they certainly acted as if they liked each other.

So my brother-in-law invited them to lunch.

Why did he think they might accept? Because he’s a successful investor who, years before, squandered money on a group called the Democratic Leadership Council. Its goal was to bring Democrats back to centrist economics.

The Clintons had convinced him that they were “responsible” Democrats (sometimes Bill was). So, by donating money, my brother-in-law helped Bill Clinton become president.

Donating money: That gets the Clintons’ attention.

Our lunch invitation was quickly accepted. Of course, they didn’t know that I would be there.

I sat next to Hillary Clinton. She was very friendly — for a while.

Being a provocateur, I brought up a local controversy: Some Chinese workers were sleeping in old shipping containers, four to a container. They had moved to Anguilla to help build hotels.

“This is why we need regulation!” she told me.

I pointed out that the workers weren’t slaves. They’d come to Anguilla only because their alternatives in China must have been significantly worse.

Of course, the housing the Chinese workers inhabited wasn’t up to American standards, but the standards Clinton wants would raise costs. That would eliminate opportunities. Some of those workers might never have gotten the chance to leave China and better their lives.

Our well-intended rules often create nasty, unintended consequences.

For example, after Western media complained that Bangladeshi workers were abused in “sweatshops,” many of those businesses closed. “Good!” said the media. “We stopped the abuse!” But then Oxfam researchers discovered that many of those now unemployed workers were begging for food on the streets. Some became prostitutes.

Clinton replied, “I heard about that study, but most regulation improves living conditions: zoning rules, affirmative action, licensing, minimum wage ...

I responded, “Well, I’m a libertarian and ...

“I know who you are!” she interrupted. We were off.

I give her credit: She argued with me for half an hour.

Finally, she’d had enough. She just ignored me for the rest of the meal.

Clinton’s wish to regulate workers’ sleeping arrangements is a symptom of “lawyers’ disease.” Like most politicians, she assumes problems are best solved with new rules. She doesn’t notice that most new rules create new problems. Worse problems. Problems that often take away opportunity altogether.

AMENDMENT

Iowans heed call for pollinator habitat development In 2016, the Iowa Farm Service Agency, worked with Iowa farmers and landowners to convert 97,371 acres of cropland to new pollinator habitat plantings by utilizing the Conservation Reserve program, more specifically the CP42 Pollinator Habitat Initiative. The purpose of this practice is to establish habitat that supports a diversity of pollinator species on cropland.

The CP42 Pollinator Habitat Initiative has been an option to farmers and landowners since the spring of 2012. To date Iowa farmers and landowners have enrolled 112,707 acres. Beginning in the spring of 2015 Iowa FSA expanded outreach efforts for the CP42 Pollinator Habitat Initiative through local USDA Service Centers. Iowa farmers and landowners heard the call to action and our state now leads the nation in CP42 Pollinator Habitat enrollment with nearly 40 percent of the acres enrolled nationally.

The CRP Pollinator Habitat Initiative enhances honey bee and native pollinator populations. CRP provides farmers and landowners with initiatives like this to achieve many farming and conservation

Iowa Farm Service Agency John Whitaker goals. Whatever the conservation challenge — soil conservation, water quality protection, or wildlife habitat enhancement — CRP is a proven land performance and management solution.

The honey bee, monarch butterfly and native pollinator populations have experienced significant decline over the past decade. A lack of flowers and forbs to provide pollen and nectar is believed to be a major contributing factor for these declines.

The CRP pollinator initiative is designed to provide better access to nutrition for pollinators. By establishing, managing or replacing existing cover crop vegetation with seed mixes that support distinct blooming cycles of plants benefitting pollinators, CRP participants create healthy environments for honey bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies and wasps. Together, these insects are responsible for

pollinating more than one-third of the foods we eat and 80 percent of the plants. By assisting honey bees in particular, the pollinator initiative helps USDA continue to secure our food supply.

CRP is a land conservation program administered by the FSA. In exchange for a yearly rental payment, farmers enrolled in the program agree to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve environmental health and quality. Contracts for land enrolled in CRP are 10 to 15 years in length. The long-term goal of the program is to re-establish valuable land cover to help improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and enhance wildlife and pollinator habitat.

In recognition of National Pollinator Week June 20-26, Iowa FSA salutes our state’s farmers and landowners for their leadership in pollinator habitat development.

Reluctant baby sitter resents being impressed into service DEAR ABBY: I live with my parents and am not fond of children. My father volunteers me to baby-sit my nieces while they are right in front of us and before I have a chance to discuss anything. If I stand up for myself and say no, my father lays a guilt trip on me and tells the kids that their aunt is “being mean.”

I’m grateful that my parents took me in after I graduated from university, which has allowed me to work on a second degree. However, when I am volunteered to do something I don’t enjoy — like entertain the kids — my father somehow always manages to leave the house. He often lectures me about things I should do or things others should do, but he never does any of them himself. His excuse is that he works to support us financially.

Am I being ungrateful and should I grin and bear it? Or should I do an intervention with Dad when the kids aren’t over? — OVERTIRED AUNT DEAR OVERTIRED: Assuming that you have told your father your feelings, he may feel that because he supports you, he has the right to volunteer your services. What might work would be to tell your sibling how you feel about being trapped into doing it — and about kids in general. I know I wouldn’t want any children of mine to be around someone who resents having to care for them. Perhaps your sibling will feel the same.

DEAR ABBY: I have had cancer for 12 years. This will be my last year.

The chemo treatment was getting stronger and making me sick longer.

I told most of my siblings that I decided on no more chemo. The doctor warned my daughter eight months ago that there will be no stopping the progression of my disease.

My daughter has a lot on her plate right now, finding and buying a house, getting a new job and planning her wedding for next year.

I have tried to help her plan for my death, but it only upsets her.

I feel great and better each day since I have been off the chemo. I have a positive attitude about the short future that’s ahead of me. So how do I tell my daughter this is my last year? — LIVING AND LOVING LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND DEAR LIVING AND LOVING: I’m sorry about your prognosis. Few people welcome the idea of their parents’ passing, but it is a subject that needs to be discussed.

A way to get the message across to your daughter would be to call a family meeting so that she will have emotional support when she hears about your decision. Announce that you are feeling better than you have in a long time because you are no longer having chemo, and make clear what your wishes are in the event of your death.

Right now your daughter is understandably focused on herself. Do not expect that she will take the news well, and be sure to have your plans in writing so there will be no confusion among family members later.

Boy dies after accidentally shooting himself ELGIN — A tight-knit community in northeast Iowa has come together to honor the life of a young child who police say accidentally shot himself.

Jayden Phillips, 4, of Elgin died Friday after he was rushed to a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. Police believe he accidentally shot himself around 2:30 p.m.

Residents gathered in a community park for a candlelight vigil in his memory Sunday.

DUBUQUE — A group of volunteers has launched a campaign to repair a Civil War-era chapel in a Dubuque County conservation area.

Friends of the Mines of Spain hope to raise $17,000 to repair Junkermann Chapel. The chapel was built by German immigrant Otto Junkermann in the 1860s to emulate a sanctuary he visited as a boy in his home country.

Sac City again home to world’s largest popcorn ball SAC CITY (AP) — Hundreds of people convened on the western Iowa town of Sac City this weekend to construct the world’s largest popcorn ball.

A ball of popcorn estimated to weigh 10,000 pounds was constructed Saturday at the Noble Popcorn plant.

Sac City first claimed the largest popcorn ball in 1995, when people came together to make one weighing in at 2,225 pounds. The enormous treat traveled all over the Midwest and to the Iowa State Fair to promote Sac County’s claim as the “Popcorn Capital.”

But in June 2004, the record was defeated, prompting Sac City residents to build another topping 3,100 pounds. Again, the record was defeated, and — again — the city went to work on a third monster popcorn ball in 2009. That one topped 5,000

pounds.

Saturday’s effort was intended to top another record-breaker set by a group at the Indiana State Fair. Sac City folks plan to submit Saturday’s effort to the keepers of the Guinness Book of World Records.

“This is my fourth and last time,” said Dan Martin, plant manager at Noble Popcorn, said Saturday. “I got here at 3:30 this morning.”

The enormous popcorn ball started with 2,300 pounds of popcorn.

To hold it all together, it took an additional 4,900 pounds of sugar, plus a few thousand pounds of dry syrup mix, water and a preservative.

Lundell Plastics in nearby Odebolt, Iowa, created a 2,000-pound plastic cradle for the popcorn ball. It will now be moved to a new viewing building that’s part of the Sac City Museum complex on Main Street.

Professors’ group votes to sanction University of Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — A national group of professors has unanimously voted to sanction the University of Iowa for the way the school hired its new president.

The century-old American Association of University Professors voted Saturday to sanction UI for “substantial non-compliance with standards of academic government” during the process that led to last year’s hiring of Bruce Harreld.

The group’s investigating committee found in December that instead of fully involving faculty in the presidential search, the Iowa Board of Regents engineered a search to identify a figure from the business world. Once the regents identified such a person, the report said, “what followed was at best an illusion of an open, honest search.”

Thomas Vaughn, president of the UI Faculty Senate, issued a statement Saturday challenging the group’s sanction.

“A sanction against the university is both unfair and wholly unjustified,” Vaughn said. “The AAUP’s own report did not contain a single factual finding showing any wrongdoing by anyone at the university.”

UI faculty members were involved last year with the 21-member committee that proposed four finalists to succeed Sally Mason as president. But the committee was dismissed before the four finalists were brought to campus.

The regents unanimously selected Harreld on Sept. 3, despite a letter from UI faculty leaders saying that the vast majority of respondents found that the former IBM executive to be the least qualified finalist.

Continued from Page 1A by monetary votes and items used in the contest were donated to the area food pantry. The Weirick’s Pharmacy “Tea,” was announced the winner Sunday afternoon receiving $38.50 in monetary votes. The Christian Church Youth team came in second and a group from Professional Hair Designers took third.

Friday ended with a magic show featuring Jonathan May and Adventureland resident magician Ben Ulin in the C-M Elementary gym.

The “Sasquacentennial” 5K at Quarry Springs Park kicked of Saturday’s events. The first annual Sasquatch 5K made runners march through tall grass, dredge through mud and ankle deep water, climb a rope and sand dunes and dodge a living Sasquatch monster in the park’s timber.

“Sasquacentennial” 5K organizer Dave Hostetter said feedback from 49 runners was positive. Hostetter, an competitive runner, is already looking at make the Sasquatch 5K an annual run in Colfax.

“People were very pleased.

We had a few people get lost but other than that, they said it was tough and fun,” he said.

“Mike Williams (Williams Auto Service) was super excited and wants to sponsor it again next year, so you just can’t beat that.”

Caanan Gassmann, of Pleasant Hill, won third place in the men’s division. At the finish line, he tried catching his breath while eating a Cratty Shack ice cram cone — wearing his Sasquatch-shaped medal tied to his neck with a furry, brown ribbon.

“It was a great race and a rigorous course. I love the mud and hills,” he said.

When asked if he was caught scared by Sasquatch Gassmann laughed, “not so much.”

and food vendors grilled and prepped from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in downtown Colfax. Inside the Howard Street Christian Church, the sesquicentennial celebration had a double feature.

The Liberty Band of Iowa played two sets of 1800s/American Civil War-era patriotic tunes. Dressed in period costume, the Marion-based wind a percussion ensemble played “The Star Spangled Banner,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “Dixie,” among other selections.

Twin sisters and Colfax natives Erin Hilker and Megan Hilker-Langstraat both performed in the Liberty Band and starred in a live Sesquicentennial stage production of the Carol Burnett’s skit “Went with the Wind,” which billed opposite of the Liberty Band. Hilker-Langstraat said she’s been playing snare drum in the band since 2013 and just returned from playing in a Civil War reenactment in Nashua. Player her home town’s 150th birthday, she said, was an honor.

“I didn’t even know we were coming up on the Sesquicentennial until a couple of years ago.

It’s kind of cool to know that your town has been around for that long,” she said.

“Went with the Wind” came to the Colfax Sesquicentennial Celebration through a community theater troop featuring several members of the Howard Street Christian Church. The play’s director Darcy Brown, and Colfax Sesquicentennial Committee member, was born and raised in Colfax and married her next door neighbor.

She said “The Not Ready for Heaven Players” is a bit of an ode to original “not ready for prime time players” of Saturday Night Live, but with a religious twist.

They started rehearsing “Went with the Wind” in March and felt the comedic take on “Gone with the Wind” fit perfectly with Colfax’s 1866 birth.

“We were excited this particular skit could be a part of the Sesquicentennial,” she said. “I

Mike Mendenhall/Jasper County Tribune Patrick O’Shea, 31, of Marshalltown, climbs a muddy hill with a rope Saturday after wading through ankle-deep water during the “Sasquacentennial” 5K at Quarry Springs Park in Colfax. The Sasquatch-themed run was one of dozens of events and performances in the Colfax Sesquicentennial Celebration. Sasquatch 5K organizer Dave Hostetter said the run will become an annual event.

introduced it to my niece and she was just so enthralled and went with it. We went with the wind.”

The afternoon concluded with carriage rides on the town’s west end neighborhood, oldtime games in Conway Park and performances by the Sugar Grover Cloggers and Sharon Seuferer, the One-Woman Band of Lacona.

Attendance dwindled in the mid afternoon, but more than 150 people came to the Howard Street Stage Saturday night for a four-set performance by local Colfax rock guitarist Richard Arndt and his band The Brew.

The concert was organized for the Sesquicentennial by Colfax Main Street. Justin Niceswanger, Main Street board member, said concert attendance for The Brew rivaled the Colfax’s annual Music in the Park concert series.

Arndt, who is making a name for himself in the Iowa music scene as a work horse playing

more than 300 shows per year, shredded his brand of hard-rock electric guitar until midnight.

He covered songs from Weezer to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Chuck Berry to Guns and Roses to The Brew originals.

“I’m having a blast playing my home town for the Sesquicentennial, 150 years,” Arndt yelled over the PA. “I love playing at home. It’s a short drive — that’s my favorite — and all kinds of people who I see all the time who have no idea that I do this, from the school teachers to the janitor at the grocery store.”

Sesquicentennial celebrators gathered for one more round Sunday for a worship service hosted by all Colfax churches.

tist Church combined sermons and prayers for the hour-long service inside the Colfax Historical Society.

Nearly 200 guests enjoyed a feast that included roasted pork sandwiches, about a dozen side dishes and nearly two tables full of desserts.

Colfax residents past and present enjoyed the community lunch while the Blue Grass Blondies — a five-member family band from Ottumwa — performed on stage.

“We had really great entertainment all weekend,” said Larry Daft, chairman of the sesquicentennial committee.

“I heard so many great things about the magic show and then the next day we had a lot of entertainment, games and events.

I think the attendance was a bit low because of the weather but anybody who came down to see something enjoyed it.”

The sesquicentennial ended Sunday afternoon with a lot of laughter as people competed on stage in unusual contests — facial hair contest, hat contest, legs contest and finally a husband-calling contest.

The husband-calling competition drew the most chuckles as wives were judged on their “husband calls” for the most unique, loudest and best overall. Some ladies were first-time callers, but some showed their experience such as Newton’s Bonnie Swallwell, who has won ribbons at the Iowa State Fair for her calls.

More than 15 prizes were given away Sunday to first place winners and runner-ups.

Afterward, Daft said he was satisfied with the weekend and was happy to be a part of something that took 1.5 years of planning and many will remember for as long as they live.

“Its a relief that it’s over, but I’m pretty sure we’re going to have a lot of memories from this celebration,” he said.

UN says 65 million people displaced in 2015, a new record

AP Photo In this file photo, Darryl Nevins, owner of a Mosquito Joe franchise, sprays a backyard to control mosquitoes in Houston. Zika has been sweeping through Latin America and the Caribbean in recent months, and the fear is that it will get worse there and arrive in the U.S. with the onset of mosquito season this summer.

As Zika looms, US officials worry about the neighbors

HOUSTON (AP) — Saron Wyatt pointed to the secluded end of her small street in Houston’s impoverished Fifth Ward, where a mound of old tires keeps popping up.

Always a trashy nuisance, it’s now a growing danger. Tires collect water and become prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes — especially the ones that spread Zika virus disease and other tropical mosquito-borne illnesses.

Wyatt, a mother of five, doesn’t know where the tires are coming from. But she’s worried about it, and so are health officials.

Spraying for the type of mosquito that carries Zika is not always effective, and they can breed in pools of standing water as small as a Styrofoam cup. That means vacant lots or messy yards may need to be cleaned up, whether the owner of the mess wants it cleaned

or not.

Dr. Umair Shah, the head of Houston’s county health department, called getting the cooperation of local residents his department’s biggest issue. “It’s really about a neighbor who might have sources of breeding on their property that can impact a neighbor two or three houses down,” he said.

Experts believe the vast majority of neighbors will comply. But not all. For months now, the federal government has been urging local health officials to review local nuisance ordinances and plot how to handle property owners who are combative or can’t be found.

During a recent outbreak of dengue fever in Hawaii that involved the same mosquito that can spread Zika, health officials went to more than 500 properties to survey or spray. In 23 cases, resi-

dents refused requests to enter.

It happened again in March, when health officials went to see a Kauai resident who was infected with Zika after traveling to an outbreak area in Latin America.

Initially, the person would not allow health officials onto the rental property. But when a team returned for a follow-up visit, a family member let them in to look for mosquito breeding areas.

“For the most part, we do get good cooperation,” said Keith Kawaoka, deputy director for environmental health at Hawaii’s state health department. But sometimes cooperation comes only after a couple of conversations.

Zika has been sweeping through Latin America and the Caribbean in recent months, and the fear is that it will get worse there and arrive in the U.S. with the onset of mosquito season this summer.

GENEVA (AP) — Imagine the entire population of Britain uprooted: The U.N. refugee agency says just over that number — 65 million people — were displaced worldwide by the end of last year, easily setting a new postwar record, as it warned that European and other rich nations can expect the tide to continue if root causes aren’t addressed.

In a year when more than a million people arrived on European shores, UNHCR said continued conflicts and persecution in places like Syria and Afghanistan fueled a nearly 10-percent increase in the total number of refugees and internally displaced people in 2015.

“I hope that the message carried by those forcibly displaced reaches the leaderships: We need action, political action, to stop conflicts,” said Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. “The message that they have carried is: ‘If you don’t solve problems, problems will come to you.’”

The figures are contained in the Geneva-based agency’s latest Global Trends Report issued Monday, timed for World Refugee Day. They show that for the first time since World War II, the 60 million mark was crossed, even topping the equivalent of the total U.K. population of about 64.6 million.

“If these 65.3 million persons were a nation, they would make up the 21st largest in the world,” the report said.

With stark detail, UNHCR said that on average, 24 people had been displaced every minute of every day last year — or 34,000 people a day — up from 6 every minute in 2005. Global displacement has roughly doubled since 1997, and risen by 50 percent since 2011 alone — when the Syria war began.

About 11.5 million people from Syria had fled their homes: 6.6 million within the war-ravaged country and 4.9 million abroad. More than half of all refugees came from three countries: Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia, and more than half of all displaced people were children, UNCHR said.

Turkey was the top host country for the second year running, taking in 2.5 million people — nearly all from neighboring Syria. Afghan neighbor Pakistan had 1.6 million, while Lebanon, next to Syria, hosted 1.1 million. UNHCR said the total figures of forcibly displaced people amounted to about one in every 113 people on the planet.

Grandi said policymakers and advocacy groups admittedly face daunting challenges in helping the largest subset of displaced people: Some 40.8 million internally displaced in countries in conflict. Another 21.3 million were refugees and some 3.2 million more were seeking asylum.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The forgetful blue fish of “Finding Dory” is box office gold.

The Pixar sequel far surpassed its already ocean-sized expectations to take in $136.2 million in North American theaters, making it the highest-grossing animated debut of all time, not adjusting for inflation, according to comScore estimates Sunday.

The 2007 film “Shrek the Third” was the previous record-holder, with a $121.6 million debut.

Sam Hornish Jr. turns in Father’s Day treat Hornish wins Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Parents lake house with his family or an Xfinity Series Victory Lane celebration with his family?

Sam Hornish Jr. was glad he said yes to a call from Joe Gibbs Racing Monday. It gave him an opportunity he has wanted for as long as he has been a father and a race car driver.

“I definitely want to thank the fans and happy Father’s Day to everybody,” Hornish said. “This is definitely one of the best ones I’ve ever had. I can guarantee you that.”

Hornish climbed into the Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 Toyota this weekend as a fillin for an injured Matt Tifft.

Hornish qualified third for the 2016 Xfinity Series American Ethanol E15 250 presented by Enogen.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News All alone coming into Iowa Speedway Turn 3 is Sam Hornish Jr. driving the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18 Toyota in Sunday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series’ American Ethanol E15 250 presented by Enogen. Hornish filled in for an injured driver and drove to victory on Father’s Day 2016. He was able to share Victory Lane with his three children for the first time in his racing career.

On Sunday, Hornish was dominant on Iowa Speedway’s 7/8-mile track on his way to his second victory at the track and fourth career Xfinity Series win.

He shared it with his three chil-

dren, which he had never been able to do in his long racing career on the Verizon IndyCar Series and in NASCAR. “What an unbelievable day.

I feel so lucky and blessed to

have come out and raced today. I knew the car was good,” Hornish said. “I feel like Iowa has been a special place to me in the fact that this was my first opportunity to bring my kids

to Victory Lane. In my racing career, I always wanted them to have the opportunity for them to experience that.”

Byron goes back-to-back

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News William Byron had such a good truck Saturday that not even a horrible pit stop would slow him down.

Byron lost the lead and dropped all the way down to the 10th position with less than 50 laps to go in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Speediatrics 200 at Iowa Speedway.

Perseverance, a strong truck helped the youngster recover, and a threewide pass helped Byron charge from fourth to first on a restart with nine laps to go.

Then the 18-year-old budding NASCAR star fought off Cole Custer on a final restart to get to Victory Lane.

It was Byron’s second straight win in the NCWTS and his third

victory of the season.

“We’ve had laser focus the past month,” said Byron, who is 2-0 in truck series since becoming a high school graduate.

“We’ve worked on a lot of stuff and cleaned up a lot of details to be able to compete, and it paid off.”

Custer finished behind Byron in second, while Cameron Hayley, Ben Rhodes and Tyler Reddick rounded out the top five. Points leader Matt Crafton ended up eighth.

Daniel Suarez and Ben Kennedy pulled double duty this weekend.

Saturday, Suarez crossed the finish line in sixth and Kennedy was seventh.

The rest of the top 10 included Christopher Bell in ninth and Johnny Sauter in 10th.

Pole sitter John Hunter Nemechek led the first

53 laps but had a devasting mishap on a pit stop and never got back into contention. He finished 12th.

Custer led three laps following a lap 188 restart which saw the race lead exchange several times before Byron got out in front for good on lap 191.

“For the first 10 laps or so, the others were probably better than us on four tires,” said Custer, who recorded his season-best finish.

“After that it kind of equaled out. I thought I had them there when I took the lead.

“I think we’re going in the right direction.”

Byron, who led a race-high 107 laps, took the lead from Nemechek on a lap 54 restart and led until the event’s third caution.

Plate struggles hamper Newton in Cardinal Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Duncan Lee (20) had two hits on the day for Newton High’s Cardinals.

The hits are finding holes in defenses for the Cardinals. They had a total of seven hits in two loses Saturday in the Newton Cardinal Invitational.

“Pitching and defense are not hurting us right now. It is the phase that scores runs.

It’s all about the hitting,” Newton High baseball head coach Dustin Brisel said.

Newton’s Cardinals were held to five hits in one game and two hits in a second contest Saturday in the NHS Cardinal Invitational. They lost 8-1 to Pleasantville and 8-0 to Davenport West at Eversman Field.

“Our kids are pressing too hard and putting a lot of pressure on themselves when they go to the plate,” Brisel said. “Each one of them is trying to hit balls to the fence instead of just getting base hits. It’s about situational hitting.”

An example of situational hitting not coming for the Cardinals was in the bottom of the second against Davenport West. Three straight

errors by the Falcons loaded the bases with Cardinals with no outs. Newton hit into a double play and had a strikeout with no runs crossing the plate.

Davenport West committed five errors in the game.

Newton could not take advantage, but the Falcons cashed in on three Cardinal miscues. The Falcons out hit the Cardinals 11 to 2 in the game.

Davenport West scored three runs in fifth to go up 3-0 and added three more runs in the sixth. The Falcons reached its final margin of victory with a two-run seventh.

Newton’s two hits were singles by Drew Stout and Connor Gholson.

“They are trying too hard.

They need to relax and work on getting base hits,” Brisel said. “This next week we have just a couple of games, so we’ll get some practice time and work on things.”

Carlisle won the Cardinal Invitational, winning twice — 7-2 over Davenport West and 17-3 over Pleasantville in six innings.

Four errors by Newton helped the Pleasantville Trojans score eight runs in the tournament opener. The Trojans turned an error into a run in the first inning then with two on in the second a ball hit to center field by Pleasantville’s Zeb Adreon was mishandled. Adreon circled the bases as three runs scored.

The Trojans were up 7-0, which included a solo home run by Adreon over the right field fence in the fourth, before Newton got on the scoreboard in the top of the sixth inning. With one gone, Trey Vanderlaan drew a walk, stole second base and was able to score on a ground-out by Brennen Dodd.

CMB holds off Greene County third in the state, we led them in both games, and they came back to win close games,” Coach Houge said. “It’s always a good game no matter how good the other team is.

“We did what good teams do. We did what we had to do to finish out the game.”

CMB hosts North Polk at 7 p.m. Monday. The Raiders play at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Prairie City-Monroe.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter eighth-grader Mikayla Houge may not have been at her best for the entire seven innings against Greene County on Friday night.

But when the Rams made things tough, Houge flexed her muscles.

Seven of Houge’s 10 strikeouts came with Ram runners in scoring position, and junior Mikayla Eslinger crushed a solo home run in the fourth inning to propel the Raiders to a 2-1 victory against the defending league champions in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Houge was at her best with runners on base. She fanned two straight and induced a pop up with a runner on second in the second inning, got three straight strikeouts with the bases loaded in the third and left the bases loaded in the fifth, too. The only run she allowed came on a Jenna Beyers solo home run in the second inning.

“I zero in and focus even harder,” said Houge, who improved to 7-2 on the season.

“I’m just trying to help my team as much as I can. It’s just easier to keep them from scoring when they don’t put the ball in play.”

The Raiders were held to three hits at the plate by Greene County starter Hannah Promes. They plated an unearned run in the first inning and then Eslinger’s one-out blast over the left-field fence in the fourth gave CMB (15-6 overall, 9-2 in the HOIC) the lead for good.

“I told the girls we did enough to win and that’s all that matters,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “We didn’t do any more than enough but we did enough to win.”

Junior Megan Ritter led off the game by reaching on an error. She stole second, went to third on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Katie Camp and then scored on junior Abbey

Raider bats come alive in win over Rams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Playing in its fifth game in five days, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter coach Max Seeman wasn’t sure what he would get on the mound from his Raider baseball team Friday night during a Heart of Iowa Conference game with Greene County.

It ended up not mattering much though as CMB’s offense cranked out 18 hits and walked three other times during a Caple 13-9 home win.

The Raiders (8-6 overall, 7-5 in the HOIC) won another game in come-from-behind fashion as the Rams led 4-1 after three innings. CMB plated six runs in the fourth and six more in the sixth.

Greene County (3-10, 1-8) closed the gap with a four-run seventh inning, but the Raiders won their third straight after a five-game losing streak.

Junior Creighton Caple, who returned from an injury the night before against South Hamilton, had three hits, two runs and two RBIs to lead CMB at the plate.

Senior Brady Stover hit his second career home run in the six-run sixth inning and finished with two hits, two runs and three RBIs. Junior Hunter McWhirter also had two hits, two runs and three RBIs. Senior Spencer Gauch collected three hits, junior Brady Ross scored two runs and junior Brady Kemp recorded two hits and knocked in two runs.

CMB plays at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Alleman against North Polk. The Raiders play at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Prairie City-Monroe.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter eighth-grader Mikayla Houge struck out 10 and allowed just one earned run during a 2-1 victory over Greene County on Friday.

Kahler’s ground out to the shortstop.

Ritter singled and stole second in the third but was stranded at third after Promes induced back-to-back groundouts to the shortstop.

Eslinger’s no-doubter in the fourth was a rocket off the bat.

It cleared the fence in left field by several feet.

“Hannah Promes threw a pretty good game, too,” Coach Houge said. “We didn’t adjust like we normally do. She got herself out of a jam in the seventh. Part of not adjusting is a credit to (Promes) for keeping us off balance. (Greene County’s coach) knows us and knows how to pitch to us, too. “(Eslinger) made an adjustment on her second at-bat and hit it out. That was huge obviously.”

The Raiders threatened in the seventh.

They loaded the bases with one out following a walk by Kahler, a double by senior Payge Jurgens and a walk by Eslinger. Promes got out of the jam with a strikeout and a ground out to third.

Houge’s earned run aver-

age continues to hover around 1.50. She scattered eight hits Friday and stranded 10 Ram runners on base.

Greene County loaded the bases with no outs in the third but failed to score after Houge struck out the 4-5-6 hitters in order. She fanned the first two batters in the fifth but needed a line out to second to get out of another bases-loaded situation.

In the seventh, Greene County (7-8, 4-5) continued to put pressure on Houge. Backto-back singles put runners on second and third with nobody out, but Houge ended the game with two strikeouts and a pop out to Jordynn Wesselink at shortstop.

“I just go right after them. I know I can get them out,” Mikayla Houge said. “Those situations make you better.”

Despite Greene County’s .500 record, Coach Houge knew coming into the game that his team would have its hands full. They led the Rams last year for most of both meetings but lost in the final innings.

Tigerhawk softball makes quick work of Iowa Valley

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The top of Colfax-Mingo’s lineup presents a lot of problems for opposing pitchers in the South Iowa Cedar League.

Friday, the top three hitters — sophomore Ries Wilson, junior Alivia Haley and junior Amy Russell — collected seven of the team’s 12 hits and recorded eight of the team’s RBIs during an easy 13-0 home win over Iowa A. Haley Valley.

The Tigerhawks (146-1) plated nine runs in the first inning and ended the game after three innings with a four-run second frame.

Russell faced two more than the minimum in the circle, tossing her first no-hitter of the season. She struck out nine and walked one in three innings.

An Iowa Valley (5-16 overall, 3-7 in the SICL) batter also reached on one Colfax-Mingo error.

At the plate, Russell improved her team-best batting average with three hits and added two RBIs and scored one run.

Haley had two hits, scored two runs and drove in four runs. Three of Haley’s RBIs came on a bases-loaded double in the nine-run first inning.

Wilson collected two hits, scored three runs and had two RBIs from her lead-off spot, while freshman Chelsea Russell had two hits Wilson and freshman Braedynn Rawlins and Delaney Underwood each scored two runs.

Colfax-Mingo takes a 9-2 conference record into Monday’s 6 p.m. road showdown with Lynnville-Sully, which comes into the game with a 7-3 conference mark. The Hawks are 10-11 overall.

Brown’s effort not enough for Mustangs

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ROLAND — Prairie City-Monroe senior Austin Brown allowed one hit over six innings against Class 2A No. 8 Roland-Story on Friday night.

Unfortunately for the Mustangs, the Norse took advantage of three walks, a hit by pitch and four PCM errors during a 3-2 Heart of Iowa Conference win.

PCM (7-12 overall, 5-6 in the HOIC) finished with nine hits, but the only runs it could muster came in the sixth and seventh innings.

Roland-Story led 3-0 after five frames and held off a late Mustang ral-

ly to improve to 17-4 overall and 5-3 in the HOIC. Junior Braden Phifer had two of PCM’s nine hits, while senior Clay Cooper had one hit and one run, senior Tyler Foster had one hit and one walk and Brown Brown finished with one hit and one RBI. Brown’s final pitching line including two strikeouts. All three runs he allowed were unearned.

Thursday CMB 4, Van Meter 3 VAN METER — Kahler improved to 7-1 in the circle and Wesselink had two hits at the plate as the Raiders downed 2A No. 6 Van Meter on Thursday.

The Raiders lost a 2-0 lead but scored the winning run off a Van Meter error in the seventh inning.

Cardinal bats go quiet Hawk teams against PC Eagles split SICL games at Tri-County

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

PELLA — Newton High’s Cardinal baseball team lost a pair of two-run games Friday to host Pella Christian.

It was not how Cardinal head coach Dustin Brisel envisioned the Cardinals starting the second round of games in the Stout Little Hawkeye Conference.

Newton lost 2-0 and 6-4 to the Eagles, who swept the season’s three-game series with the Cardinals.

“Not coming up with the key hits, the big hits is weighing on us right now,” Brisel said. “We scored some runs early in the second game for the lead and that weight came off our shoulders.

“They have a big inning to take the lead, and it’s back on our shoulders.”

In the opener, Pella Christian’s Mac Sarver gave up two singles to the Cardinals in the first two innings then he and the Eagles retired the final 18 Newton batters for a 2-0 win.

Connor Gholson threw another complete game for Newton, allowing seven hits and striking out one but took the loss.

Pella Christian made the Cardinals pay for a one-out error in the bottom of the sixth inning. Will Dembski, who was 3-for-3 for the Eagles, singled to move Kade Vander Molen to third.

Vander Molen scored on a fielder’s choice then Sarver delivered an RBI base hit.

Newton’s two hits were by Gholson and Tyler Stanton.

The Cardinals took advantage of a couple errors by the Eagles to break on top in the second game. In the third inning.

Garrett Sturtz reached safely on an error to begin the inning and moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt by Reagan Maple.

Drew Stout singled to left field. Brennen Dodd was safe

on an error as Sturtz and Stout came around to score on the play. The Cardinals added a run in the fifth on a leadoff double

by Stout and an RBI single by Dodd.

Walks, a Cardinal error and four hits turned into six runs for the Eagles in the bottom of the fifth. Sturtz came on in relief of Dodd, who started for Newton and held Pella Christian hitless the first three innings.

Down 6-3 heading into the seventh, Newton’s Sturtz reached on an error and Dodd connected for a two-out single to drive Sturtz in.

The Eagles stopped the rally right there for the 6-4 win.

Stout finished the game with a single and a double while Dodd hit two singles. Stanton singled.

Newton dropped to 2-8 in LHC play and 5-11 overall. The Cardinals played two games at home Saturday in the Cardinal Invitational.

NHS softball loses to PC in eight innings

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — On the day they climbed into the Iowa Class 4A softball rankings, Newton High’s Cardinals came up short in a Little Hawkeye Conference showdown with Class 2A 10thranked Pella Christian’s Eagles.

It was a 1-1 game from the second inning through the seventh inning. Newton had scored its run in the first frame and Pella Christian tied the game in the second.

The 4A 13th-ranked Cardinals pushed a go-ahead run across in the top of the eighth in the same way they had scored in the first innings.

Karley Leiker doubled with

one out and scored on a twoout double by Emily Valtman each time.

Pella Christian came right back in its half of the eighth with Chloe Dembski leading off with a base hit. With one gone, Newton committed backto-back errors which led to a walk-off RBI single by Kirsten Vander Hart for the 3-2 win for the Eagles.

“We need to hit sooner rather than later in innings,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said.

“We can’t wait that long to get our offense going each inning.”

Newton got the double doubles by Karley Leiker and Valtman. Hitting a single each were Audrey Lucas, Kennedy Leiker and Fran Lucas.

73 and No Cavaliers spoil Warriors magical season OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — LeBron James and his relentless, never-count-them-out Cavaliers pulled off an improbable NBA Finals comeback, and Cleveland is title town again at long last.

James delivered on a promise from two years ago to bring a championship to his native northeast Ohio, and he and the Cavs became the first team to rally from a 3-1 finals deficit by beating the defending champion Golden State Warriors 9389 on Sunday night.

James almost single-handedly carried the Cavs back into this series and finished with 27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as the Cavs captured their first championship in franchise history and gave their city its first major sports winner since the Browns won the NFL title in 1964.

An emotional James fell to the floor when this one ended with a second win in six days at Golden State.

Kyrie Irving scored 26 points to cap his brilliant finals, including a 3-pointer over MVP Stephen Curry with 53 seconds left.

Green had 32 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists, but the Warriors’ record-setting season ended without the only prize this close-knit crew cared about from way back in the beginning.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News THORNBURG — Lynnville-Sully’s baseball and softball teams made a short and long night of it Friday on the road in South Iowa Cedar League play. The Hawks had different outcomes Van Zante on the night.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ACKLEY — Dawson Cobler, Connor McAdoo and Logan Zaabel combined for 16th place for Newton Trap Team in the senior division of Saturday’s Iowa high school State Sporting Clays Championship.

The Newton trio hit 326 out of 450 targets.

There were 25 squads competing in the senior division.

Cobler hit 104 and Zaabel hit 103 targets to take

61st and 63rd, respectively.

“There are several teams in Iowa which shoot a lot of sporting clays, so, of course, they’re really good at it,” Newton head coach Paul Klein said. “We don’t get a chance to shoot as much as these teams, but I’m really pleased with our results.

“Our shooters posted good scores for us. We finished in about the middle of the field, which is what I was expecting.”

Dustin Johnson wins first major title OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — All the chaos and confusion couldn’t stop Dustin Johnson from proving he had the head to be a U.S. Open champion.

One year after the most devastating of all his close calls in the major, Johnson endured two hours of not knowing the size of his lead while the USGA questioned whether he should be penalized one stroke for his ball moving on the fifth green.

Johnson said it didn’t.

The USGA said it would wait until after the final round to decide.

America’s most powerful golfer took matters into his own hands Sunday at

Oakmont with a 10-foot par save on the 16th hole, a tee shot he smashed down the middle of the 18th fairway and an approach to 5 feet for birdie that left no doubt who won the toughest test in golf.

Only after he was guaranteed that silver trophy did the USGA assess him a one-shot penalty, turning his final score into a 1-under 69 for a three-shot win.

Johnson finished at 4-under 276.

He gave three quick fist-pumps when the birdie putt fell on the 18th, hugged his brother, Austin, who caddies for him and scooped up his son Tatum on Father’s Day.

Xfinity Continued from Page 1B Hornish was joined in the Casey’s General Stores Victory Lane by his wife, Crystal, and their three children, Addison, Eliza and Samuel III. Hornish led 183 of the 250 laps of the race.

Hornish even had help at his post-race press conference from his son, who had a couple of words to say over a microphone. Hornish said he loves short-track racing, and he enjoys running at Iowa Speedway.

Hornish and Joe Gibbs Racing’s teammate Daniel Suarez battled up front from the green flag on. Suarez went to the lead early and led the field through the first 22 laps before Hornish claimed the lead.

Suarez, who finished fourth in the race and maintained his Xfinity Series points lead, would lead 62 laps in the race.

The only other drivers to lead laps in Sunday’s race were Darrell Wallace Jr. (4) and Brennan Poole (1). Poole ended up eighth, and Wallace was ninth at the finish line. Ben Kennedy, who made his Xfinity Series debut at Iowa, ran 10th.

Pole-winner Erik Jones and Brad Keselowski had to start the race from the rear because of unapproved body modifications. Joining them at the rear of the field to start was Ross Chastain for unapproved adjustments.

Jones never made a move up through the field as he had fuel-pressure issues. He finished 27th — seven laps

down — after he went to the garage for a fuel cell repair.

Ty Dillon made a charge on Hornish on a late restart.

Hornish held Dillon off and Dillon finished second. Keselowski, who has three Xfinity Series wins at Iowa speedway, was another late contender for lead but settled for third.

“We still got some speed to gain, but all in all, proud of our guys,” Dillon said. “We executed on pit row and put

ourselves in a position to win.”

Keselowski raced at Iowa Speedway during a weekend off from NASCAR Sprint Cup action. He hosted a party in the Newton Club on Friday night benefiting his Checkered Flag Foundation and offered fans a ticket package, “Brad K’s Father’s Day Special for 2.”

“I thought we had a shot at the 18 (Hornish), but we got stuck behind the 3 (Dillon)

car there and couldn’t quite clear him,” Keselowski said.

“All in all, a decent day. We wanted a lot more than that, of course. But that’s where we ended up.”

It was not the first time Hornish climbed into an Xfinity Series car at a week’s notice and won at Iowa Speedway. In 2014, he drove the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 to victory in the same race at Iowa then returned in to finish second to

Keselowski in the Xfinity U.S. Cellular 250 in July of 2014.

“I love short track racing.

I’m always in a good groove here at Iowa. The fans are great here,” Hornish said.

Hornish will return to Iowa for the July 31 Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250 for Richard Childress Racing.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Making a run down the backstretch Sunday at Iowa Speedway in the American Ethanol E15 250 Xfinity Series race are Dakota Armstrong (28), Elliott Sadler (1) and Brad Keselowski (22).

Byron Continued from Page 1B The running order changed dramatically following a caution on lap 146 when five teams elected to take two tires during the final pit stop.

That allowed Reddick to move into the lead, and he stayed there until Custer got by him on lap 188. Reddick’s 37 laps led were the third most on the day.

During the stop, Byron stalled his truck leaving pit road putting him 10th on the restart.

Using four tires to combat his mistake, Byron began his rally through the field and found himself back in contention when the fourth yellow of the night waved 24 laps from the checkered flag.

There was enough time for Byron to complete the comeback. He regained the lead with nine laps to go and held off Custer on a late restart to win backto-back series races.

“We had a couple setbacks there,” Byron said. I stalled it on pit road, and I had a few setbacks on some restarts, but we kept after it until that last restart. It’s awesome.”

The biggest movements from qualifying spot to finishing position were Suarez, Reddick, Custer and German Quiroga.

Suarez started 17th and finished sixth, Reddick started 15th and ended up fifth and Quiroga began in the 25th position before crossing the finish line in 14th.

Kaz Grala qualified fourth but finished 29th. Nick Drake also had a top 10 qualifying position in eighth but wound up 23rd. Brandon Jones was near the front with the sixth qualifying position, but he was never in contention and finished 17th.

Troy Hyde/Daily News NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers Tyler Reddick (29) and Matt Crafton (88) race in the Speediatrics 200 on Saturday at Iowa Speedway. Reddick finished fifth, while Crafton, the series’ points leader, ended up eighth.

​Troy Hyde/Daily News NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers William Byron (9) and Brandon Jones (71) race in the Speediatrics 200 on Saturday at Iowa Speedway. Byron led 107 laps and won the race, while Jones started sixth but finished 17th.

The win for Byron helped him climb within 11 points of Crafton. The veteran truck series driver still leads the series with 219 points, while Byron now has 208.

“It gets more intense as we go,” Byron said. “I enjoy those late restarts. I am having a lot of fun doing what I am

doing. I can’t wait for the next race.

“I thought I was in a pretty bad position on that pit stop. Once I apologized for making some rookie mistakes, I just had to focus on the task and try to get back in it.”

Peters sits in third in the point standings with 198, while Daniel

Astrograph

You don’t have to be a pagan or a yogi to realize that the sun deserves a salutation now and then. It has, after all, been the major constant life energy force for us for over four and a half billion years. From Fajada Butte in New Mexico to Stonehenge in Britain, solar enthusiasts will gather to celebrate the sun break into the realm of Cancer.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 20). Your deep and abiding respect for a certain team or artist will be rewarded this year as you’ll get more involved, make inside connections and experience other highlights that come with fandom. A kindhearted

maternal influence is featured strongly at the end of the year.

January brings a big cash-out.

Taurus and Scorpio adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 13, 30, 2, 22 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The frame of mind you’re in when you wake up isn’t how you’ll stay all day. This day of many moods has much to teach.

Remember that each state of mind is a temporary one and move lightly through.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you let resentment go, it won’t be because you’re doing the other person a favor.

Grudges are baggage, and baggage that’s too heavy to harbor.

Drop it, be light, laugh.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The afternoon will bring a small miracle that seems dropped from the heavens. This was actually a miracle of your own making though, created with stacks and stacks of good karma.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Feeling content is one of life’s greatest riches. There’s nothing fancy about getting to that state today. Contentment will naturally occur after a good night’s sleep and a hard day’s work followed by a satisfying meal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The one who says it better is getting

into the minutia, the details and deeper definitions. You’ll be inclined toward verbal acumen today, willing to re-examine the words you use. Do they mean what you think they mean?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A sensitive, vulnerable mood will pass quickly if you’re willing to process the fear at the bottom of it. Don’t turn away. You can handle whatever discomfort comes up. Talk or write about the feelings you experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Intuition awakens in the thick of intense drama. It also awakens in the serenity of a mental void that comes from doing very little other than deep breathing.

If no intuition comes, no action is necessary. Only move when

compelled.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The stardust in your being is the same dust that lights up in your idols when they perform, seemingly just for you. When you celebrate others, you celebrate you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The one who loves you will pay attention to where you go, whether you travel directly and with purpose or wander aimlessly and perilously.

Sometimes you’re the shepherd; sometimes you’re the sheep.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have habits you realize and habits you don’t. Mostly the latter is true, as it’s the nature of automatic behavior not to

think about it once established.

Once again, it’s reason to get an objective view.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The thought is not always accurate, helpful ... or even yours.

Today, there’s something to be said for acting unthinkingly, heeding the basic instincts of your body and impulses of the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When the heroes in stories overcome sorrows and trials, it’s an entertaining escape. It’s not as fun when you’re the one facing adversity, and yet, make no mistake, it’s forming a hero in you.

Cardinal softball wins WM Rose Festival title

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — As hot as the weather was Saturday, Newton High’s Cardinals were hotter on the softball diamonds at the West Marshall Rose Festival Softball Tournament.

They were smoking the softball, out hitting their three opponents 34 to 17 and outscoring them 25-7 on their way to the 2016 Rose Festival championship. They survived the hot weather and three games to push their overall record to 16-7.

“The girls played very well this weekend and kept themselves focused,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said.

“I’m very proud of all my girls.”

McNew said the Cardinals survived the heat by staying in the shade as much as possible between games.

“There was a shade tree right by the school. We got the girls ice cream — the West Marshall after-prom fundraiser — and just relaxed as much a possible,” McNew said.

The Class 4A 13th-ranked Cardinals decked Des Moines Christian, 10-0, to open the tournament then outlasted Class 5A 14th-ranked Cedar Rapids Prairie, 6-5 in 10 innings.

Newton faced host West Marshall in the championship game. The Cardinals powered themselves to a 7-2 lead by the end of two innings. They captured the title with a 9-2 decision over the Trojans.

Anna Coyle scattered four hits and two walks in a complete seven-inning contest as the winning pitcher. She struck out six Trojans. Coyle and the Cardinals worked out

of bases-loaded situations in the first and the fifth.

The Trojans scored a run in the top of the first and one in the second. Newton responded with two runs in the bottom of the first. After West Marshall tied the game in the top of the second, the Cardinals pushed five runs across the plate.

In the first inning, Taylor Ryan drew a two-out walk followed by Emily Valtman reached on an error. Peyton Maher delivered a tworun single. Kennedy Leiker opened the second inning with a base hit and Harlie Durr was safe on another Trojan error.

Fran Lucas walked to load the bases, and Sydney Jenkins hit a fielder’s choice to plate a run. Karley Leiker drove in run and reached on an error.

Ryan singled, Valtman doubled and Maher had a fielder’s choice to drive in a run.

Newton added to runs in the sixth inning. Jaden Adams and Lakin Jenkins had backto-back singles to start the frame. Maddi Thayer walked
