ike many couples, Gloria Jensma and Pete Davis grew up in the same town, went to the same church and the same high school, and eventually married each other — only for them it happened to be 60 years later.

Jensma and Davis knew each other casually growing up but went on to find spouses and careers and many of life’s experiences, staying in touch the way they did with many of their 1956 Newton High School classmates.

They both found themselves single in their 70s, and after some visits and living together at Davis’ family home in rural New-

ton and at Jensma’s home in Port Hueneme, Calif., near Ventura, the two simply decided to get married.

Jensma’s husband died in 2009, and Davis is divorced.

“It was all so unexpected,” Jensma said. “It was so unplanned. We just started spending more time together. We didn’t even plan on getting married.”

Davis was raised on a family farm northwest of Newton, while Jensma was raised in town. That made a difference during World War II safety protocols, but since they were both raised by families with Dutch heritage and went to the same church and the same high school — they both left Newton with a lot in common.

Davis’s career with engineering design group HDR, Inc., and other firms took him to several cities in the Midwest, including Omaha and Kansas City, while Jensma lived most of her adult life in southern California. That’s where she was living when she got to know Davis better, as he bought the family house and returned to the farm in Newton after he retired in 2002.

Jensma, known as Gloria Tracy in the knitting and crocheting world, has authored several how-to books and has patterns for sale with both the Hobby Lobby and Walmart chains. She has also created a number of re-purposed art projects.

A 23-year-old Newton native lost his life Friday when he drowned at a pier a long L a k e Michigan in northern Chicago and his family and f r i e n d s Kligensmith are dealing with the shock and sadness of his loss.

Ryan Klingensmith died Friday evening after he was pulled from Montrose Harbor in the South Shore area of Chicago, according to the Chicago SunTimes. The Newton native and current eastern Iowa resident was with friends at the harbor and fell from a boat into the water just before 5:30 p.m., according to Chicago Police and the medical examiner’s office.

It’s not clear exactly how long Klingensmith was under water, but it appears to have been about 30 minutes. A lifeguard got Klingensmith out of the water but after he was taken to a local

hospital, he was pronounced dead at 6:06 p.m., authorities said.

Wallace Family Funeral Home of Newton is handling service arrangements, which were not available at presstime.

Brandon Cook said Monday he has many positive memories of Klingensmith, who was his second cousin.

“Ryan treated everyone the same,” Cook said. “He was never judgmental toward anyone, and he was a great son, sibling and cousin to his family.”

Klingensmith, a 2010 Newton High School graduate, has many relatives in the Newton area, including his parents, Denny and Lori; his sister, Kelly, who just graduated from Newton High School in May, and his brother, Cory.

“He was just here (in Newton) recently for Kelly’s graduation party, so many of us had just seen him this month,” Cook said. “For me, that makes it easier — knowing I was able to share a moment with him.”

Downtown Micro-Grants approved for building improvements

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Two buildings in downtown Newton will soon be getting a facelift thanks to the Newton Downtown Micro-Grant program. The first two grants for the program were approved by city council on Monday.

“It is a good first step, it’s exciting to see,” councilwoman Evelyn George said.

Shawn and Vicki Wade were approved for two proj-

ects on their office complex building on the southwest corner of the square at 201 First Ave. W. The first project includes George individually mounted letter signs on the painted panels to highlight different businesses located within the building. A modern style

font will be used to tie into the Mid-20th century modern character of the building.

A total of up to $695 was approved for that project.

The second project for the building consists of painting panels located in between the light brick of the building.

The panels will be painted in a hue slightly lighter than the building to the south that balances the modern style of the building and the neighborhood context. The couple will receive up to $1,162 for

Corn, beans in good condition; southern Iowa see crop stress

Iowa DNR This pheasant, found south of Des Moines, is part of growing number of broods in Iowa. The state’s estimated pheasant harvest continues its climb and 2015 marked the fifth consecutive year in a row of increases.

Pheasant count up, DNR says Numbers dependent largely on weather, habitat

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Iowa’s estimated pheasant harvest continues its climb, and 2015 marked the fifth consecutive year in a row of increases.

In 2015, more than 56,000 hunters harvested nearly 270,000 rooster pheasants in Iowa, which is an increased harvest of 24 percent over 2014 and the highest pheasant harvest since 2009.

Pheasant hunters were not the only ones who had better hunting, quail hunters enjoyed their best hunting since 2007. Hunters harvested an estimated 28,400 quail in 2015, which was a 165 percent increase over 2014.

The large increase in quail harvest was predicted by the August 2015 roadside survey which counted the highest number of quail in 21 years, according to Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Bogenschutz said the western third of the state had more rain and more snow this winter, so the potential looks slightly lower there than for other parts of the state. Pheasant broods reported in early May in these regions suggests a good nesting season.

“We expected to see more pheasants and quail harvested based on the August roadside survey and our current trend of mild winters,” Bogenschutz said.

“We know, given certain snow-

fall and rainfall amounts, with a degree of certainty, how the upland populations are likely to react, based on 50 years of data.

Given the mild winter and below normal rainfall, potential for upland birds looks good for the fall right now for the east central, southeast and south central regions.”

Bogenschutz uses a population model that considers total winter snowfall, and spring rainfall and temperature data to estimate winter survival and nesting success, plus the annual August roadside survey that counts actual pheasants, quail, cottontails, jackrabbits and partridges.

“Overall, our weather model is predicting a stable to increasing pheasant population statewide for the fall 2016 hunting season,” he said. “Anecdotally, staff and landowners have been reporting more roosters crowing and male bobwhite calling across the southern third of Iowa this spring, which is a sign of good over-winter survival. The best predictor of the pheasant population will be this August when we conduct our roadside survey but I like the direction the model is pointing.”

Weather and habitat are the two biggest factors that influence Iowa’s pheasant population, Bogenschutz said.

“Snowy winters are bad for the birds, as are wet and cold springs,” he said. “Mild winters and warm and dry springs are

good for the birds. We had five catastrophic weather years from 2007 to 2011 (cold, wet winter followed by a wet, cold spring, which was unprecedented for Iowa).”

A 2007 roadside DNR survey showed 26 birds per survey route, but by 2012, this had fallen to 7.8 — a 70 percent decline.

For habitat, pheasants prefer grasslands like hay and small grains for nesting, brood rearing, and winter cover. In 2007, there were 3.55 million acres of these types of habitat in Iowa, but in 2012, that had fallen to 2.86 million acres — a 19 percent decline. So we lost about 20 percent of “Thus, we’d expect our pheasant population to be 20 percent lower, too, but our counts were 70 percent lower,” Bogenschutz said. “Some of the decline was due to habitat loss the rest to unfavorable weather. We’ve had favorable weather since 2013 and our 2015 roadside survey showed 24 birds per route.”

The state’s current habitat is 2.72 million acres.

“The weather looks favorable this past winter and so far this spring, so we might see an increase in populations this fall,” Bogenschutz said. “Our habitat situation has not really improved — but our weather has.”

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented recently on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The warm temperatures have helped crops progress and in general they remain in good condition, with 79 percent of corn and 80 percent of beans rated as good to excellent. Unfortunately, some areas, especially in the southern two-thirds of Iowa, are becoming very dry and are seeing signs of crop stress. Also, portions of northern Iowa have receive too much rain or damaging storms that have caused some crop damage,” Northey said.

Very warm conditions and spotty rains prevailed across much of Iowa during the week ending June 19.

High temperatures and lack of precipitation, especially across the lower two-thirds of the State is stressing some crops, causing corn leaves to curl. Activities for the week included cutting hay, chemical applications, cultivation and nitrogen side dressing.

More than three-quarters of Iowa’s corn crop continues to be rated in good to excellent condition. Soybean emergence reached 97 percent, 11 days ahead of both last year and the five-year average. Soybean condition rated 80 percent good to excellent.

Oats headed reached 81 percent this week, 6 days ahead of normal. Oat condition was rated 80 percent good to excellent. The first cutting of alfalfa hay reached 96 percent complete this week, more than two weeks ahead of the average. Hay conditions rated 78 percent good to excellent. Pasture condition fell to 72 percent good to excellent. Some stress on livestock was reported as a result of heat.

Local & State News Union Continued from Page 1A “Some of the commissions are lucrative, but not always,” Jensma said.

“One of my recent commission checks was for only $8.56.”

Davis has four children, while Jensma has three. They spend about half the year at the 80acre farm where Davis grew up, and the other half in the senior-community condominium in California. Davis enjoys duck hunting, with the season typically ending in November, so the couple usually stays in Newton during that time.

The couple got married in Carefree, Ariz., northeast of Phoenix, and their honeymoon involved a trip to the Grand Canyon. They had two wedding songs: Davis’ song was Willie Nelson’s “It Always Will Be;” for Jensma, it was Etta James’ “At Last.”

The couple came to Newton this June to celebrate both their marriage and the 60th reunion of the NHS Class of 1956.

The class has had several well-attended reunions and has kept in touch with one another; 97 of the 210 members have passed away, but many are healthy and active and have much success and abundance in life.

Several, like Jensma, are published authors.

Jensma said another aspect that made this stay in Newton enjoyable was how well things went for the NHS Class of 1956.

“Our classmates seem to look so relaxed and happy,” Jensma said.

“We’re all in our late 70s now. A lot of the ‘cliqueiness’ seems to be gone.”

This particular trip to Newton didn’t involve much sitting around.

Not only has the couple hosted several family get-togethers involving out-of-town guests in

their monthlong stay on the farm, Davis is also working on a major porch addition on the family farmhouse.

“Pete can do anything,” Jensma said.

“That’s what you get with an old Iowa farmboy. Mechanical, electrical, sanding, finishing, kitchen stuff, plumbing,

nature.

“Ryan’s impact was felt in how caring he was,” Huggins said. “He would go out of his way to help people.”

Cook said Klingensmith had secured a job in a Chicago suburb, and was preparing to relocate from the Iowa City area.

He had attended the University of Iowa and earned a bachelor’s degree in business finance in 2014, and was preparing to move to Chicago to be closer

to his longtime girlfriend and Chicago native, Kelly Pottle.

A lifelong Iowa Hawkeye supporter and an avid fan of the Carolina Panthers, Klingensmith also loved the Chicago White Sox. That made for some interesting dates and photographs with Pottle, a Cubs fan.

“They had a lot of fun with that aspect,” Cook said.

Klingensmith came back to Newton frequently — one

While family members were happy to see the couple finally get married after several years together, everyone has mostly been supportive all along, Jensma said.

“Most of them just want to see us happy,” she said.

The couple plans to continue living out their most American of love stories in both Newton and in California.

“I’m nuts about him,” Jensma said. “We knew from a trip to Kansas City a few years ago (as Jensma competed in a distance-running event) we could stand each other 24-7.”

Davis seems to feel the same way.

“She’s a great gal,” he said. “She puts up with my duck hunting.”

Cook said he was inspired by the way Klingensmith’s quality of life seemed to improve in what turned out to be the final years of his short life.

“He had also lost weight and gotten in better shape within the past year or so,” Cook said.

ids are known for being picky when it comes to food. Unfortunately my kids are no different, but I feel like there might be hope on the horizon.

Both of the girls ate really well as babies. I made my own baby food, for the most part, and the girls seemed to love it. From squash and peas to bananas and peaches, most anything I put before them they ate.

Once they moved into more solid food, they started picking some favorites. My oldest daughter loved baked beans. I have more than one picture of her face, hands and tummy covered in beans and as happy as can be. My

youngest picked macaroni and cheese as her specialty. She could be seen with noodles stuck in her hair, on her toes, just about anywhere.

As they got older their palates became more refined, which apparently means they would only eat a few select foods. Our freezer became stocked with chicken nuggets and french fries, and the pantry held can upon can of SpaghettiOs and boxes of mac and cheese.

The girls have always liked fruits, which I guess is not surprising because they are the candy among foods.

Even as they started to narrow in on a few foods that were acceptable, ba-

nanas, apples, peaches, oranges and watermelon still made the cut, which made for a happy mom.

After spending about two years only fixing about three different meal combinations, my oldest is finally starting to expand to other foods. I don’t want to say we tricked her, but when my parents made breaded crappie we called it fish nuggets and she fell for them hook, line and sinker. She also likes cinnamon and sugar toast, without the crust and a new favorite, scrambled eggs.

I have to say I was a little shocked the first time she asked for eggs. I had just made myself some scrambled eggs with cheese and she wanted a bite. She informed me she does not like the cheese on it but she did want eggs.

She told me what she needed — an egg, milk, salt and food coloring. I helped her do each task, then watched

as she turned the eggs pink, which for a five-year-old had to be the perfect food.

With my assistance she poured in the eggs in the skillet and then I watched her move them around to create her scrambled eggs. I am continually amazed at what she learns at school.

My youngest has taken a liking to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

When she requests one, she tells me she wants a peanut butter and jelly with jelly and peanut butter on it. It never gets old hearing that.

I hope as they get older they continue to explore new foods and add to the menu of what they want to eat. Maybe someday I will even be able fix a whole meal the family can eat together. My fingers are crossed.

Let’s talk about science I like to read about science, mostly because I don’t understand it very well. I’m at home in a history book. I’m never uncomfortable with a novel. Science, though, well, science takes some effort. Maybe that extra effort is what I like.

So, I was pretty damn entranced when scientists figured out that violence is common in space. Seems humans now have better “hearing aids” to drop in on what’s happening trillions of lightyears away. Like the security camera outside an all-night mini-mart, the new equipment captures a lot of conflict.

Out in space, all kinds of things crash into each other. Black holes.

Planets. Big masses of energy.

All sorts of mangling takes places as a result of this conflict, and scientists using the hightech “hearing aids” can hear the violence of the universe. It comes through as kind of a “chirp,” usually just one note, but sometimes two. It goes on all the time, too, not just on long weekends or when the weather gets hot.

The second time the scientists heard one of these post-violence chirps was on Christmas night last year. They believe these huge, violent collisions don’t happen very often, but anyone who has worked as a reporter on a daily paper can tell you that Christmas is not a silent night.

It changes the way you think about the stars, which always look like bright little lives to me.

Now, I have to think of the terrible violence happening just inches from their shining heads.

Worse yet, any cries they might make won’t be picked up by scientists for centuries in our time.

By the time we hear it, it will be too late.

I’ve never owned a telescope. In fact, I think looking at the stars more closely might ruin them for me. Sometimes, after working a newspaper night shift, I stop on the path that leads to my front door and look up at the stars, which are always clearer and purer than the press conference or street-corner shooting I’ve covered that night.

Now, when I look up, I just picture the stars ducking and dodging, frightened and trying to flee their orbits as some huge, violent collision bears down on them from the deepest reaches of endless, dark space.

It’s not a pleasant thought, though I’m sure it won’t stop me from working, getting my truck inspected, eating candy bars and mowing my lawn. Whatever terrible thing is going on out of my sight doesn’t touch me, not really, and I can always look down at the ground when I’m out at night. Nothing is safer than looking down at the ground.

I wrote this three days after hearing that a group of stars stopped shining in Orlando, Florida. For three days, I’ve watched America walk around with its eyes on the dirt because it’s safer than looking up at the stars.

I was pretty damn entranced when scientists figured out that violence is common in space ... out in space all kinds of things crash into each other.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Is this new reform a toxic waste?

There should’ve been an overhaul in how we regulate toxic chemicals years ago. Like when the 2010 President’s Cancer Panel report concluded that babies are now born “pre-polluted.” Or when it came to light that a common flame retardant used in household items actually causes cancer.

Finally, our infamously ineffective Congress has passed a landmark toxic chemical reform.

Or did it only happen on paper?

The original 1976 law on toxic chemicals — which covered everything except food, drugs, and pesticides — was written with the help of the chemical industry. It was designed to be weak.

And it was.

In fact, the law often served to prevent the government from testing new chemicals for safety.

It only gave authorities a 90-day window to run toxicity tests before companies could take the new substances to market.

The end result? In the four decades the law was in effect, the EPA only succeeded in regulating five harmful chemicals before they got to the public. Once a chemical made it to market, it was generally too late.

Under the new law, the government now has a backlog of 90

YOUR VIEW

Another View Jill Richardson high-priority chemicals to investigate, including obvious culprits like arsenic and asbestos that should’ve been dealt with years ago.

That’s as good a place as any to start. But the Environmental Working Group estimates that it could take 35 years to perform those assessments and implement new regulations.

Could that be exactly what the industry groups who helped draft the new legislation want?

What on earth would make chemical companies ask for new regulations, you might wonder?

After all, if they’re worried about the toxicity of their own product, they don’t need a law to do the right thing. They can just take it off the market. So what’s in it for them?

Consumer confidence, that’s what.

If the public hears new regulations have been passed, they’re more likely to trust that the government is doing its job to regulate new chemicals on the market.

That means less public pressure for “retailer bans, consumer boycotts, and state regulations,” Bloombergreports.

Aha. Furthermore, the new law actually prevents states from passing new regulations that are stricter than federal rules. The only silver lining, thankfully, is that existing state-level rules get to stay in place.

Is this new law an example of the value of compromise? An inspiring tale about the power of consumer pressure? Or is it a depressing confirmation that nothing gets done in Washington unless the fox is invited into the henhouse?

I can’t help but agree with Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families.

The chemical watchdog group applauded the legislation while telling states, consumers, and retailers to stay vigilant, and stay involved.

We’ll know whether we just achieved a huge victory — or got hoodwinked — when we see if the government can finally protect us from asbestos, arsenic, and other toxic chemicals that we shouldn’t even have to talk about in 2016.

Ultimately, the proof will be in the pudding — and all of the other everyday products that contain the chemicals under review.

Banks deserves recognition It was great to see Junior Banks was chosen to lead the Fourth of July parade. In all the time I have known him, he was always cheerful and helpful. Junior deserves this recognition.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 21, 2016

Wife’s man of her dreams is angered by men in her books DEAR ABBY: I’m happily married to the man of my dreams. We met after I had gone through a particularly difficult breakup, and I often credit him with “saving” me. We’ve been together 15 years and have two beautiful children.

While we both have professional careers, I also write romance novels as a hobby and side business. With every book authors write, a tiny part of their lives sneaks into their characters, storyline, etc. When my husband reads my novels — as he does often — he becomes sullen, withdrawn and angry.

He can’t seem to understand that 99 percent of what I’ve written is fiction.

He’s convinced that everything I write is somehow linked to an old boyfriend or actual events.

This is causing hurt feelings and resentment from both of us. Should I give up writing, or should he learn to deal with it? — HAPPILY EVER AFTER DEAR HAPPILY EVER AFTER: It’s a fact that talented writers have active fantasy lives. Authors who come to mind would be Mary Shelley, who created “Frankenstein,” Anne Rice and her vampires, E.L. James, who shared her S&M fantasies with the world — and countless male authors including John le Carre, Daniel Defoe and William Shakespeare. (Obviously, Ian Fleming did not do everything that his character, James Bond, did.)

Ideally, your husband — the man of your dreams — should be able to tell you if something bothers him without sulking. And if he trusts you, he should be able to accept that what you are writing is fiction. If that’s not the case, rather than your giving up writing, your husband should quit reading your books.

DEAR ABBY: My son chose his cousin, “Tim,” as best man for his wedding. Tim gave a speech about how my son was like a little brother to him and mentioned some of the pranks he

would play on my son. It was extremely funny, but the reality is that the pranks were quite cruel.

My nephew got very drunk at the wedding, and while my son was dancing with his new bride, a final prank was pulled. Tim approached my son from behind and gave him a huge “wedgie,” which tore my son’s expensive wedding pants apart. My son was very angry. His new bride appeared shocked, and it was a terrible ending to an otherwise beautiful wedding.

My sister promised me that Tim would “make it right.” It’s now four weeks later, and I have learned that my son immediately apologized to his cousin for his reaction (which was understandable). Tim did not apologize and has not accepted any accountability. I thought perhaps his wedding gift would cover the cost of the pants, but my son says it was less than the cost of the thank-you gift my son and his wife gave my nephew.

My sister and her son are frugal, and she now says that her son needs to save his money. Any suggestions other than Judge Judy? — WEDDING WEDGIE DEAR W.W.: Only this: In the interest of family harmony, step back and stay out of it. Your nephew appears to have poor judgment, but how your son and his bride choose to handle what happened is their problem, not yours.

by train, Osceola police say

OSCEOLA — Authorities say a middle school student has been killed by a train in south-central Iowa.

Officers and medics were sent to the Osceola depot around 12:20 p.m. Monday.

Police have not said what led up to the student being struck. His name hasn’t been released. Authorities say he attended classes in the Clarke Community School District.

The incident is being investigated.

WATERLOO — Three construction workers have been injured in Waterloo onthe-job accidents. Two were hurt at the TechWorks campus Monday afternoon. Firefighters say the two were on a lift when part of a brick wall came down, injuring them. They were taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities say a man working at the former Hostess Wonder Bread bakery in downtown Waterloo fell through the roof Monday morning while workers were removing vents.

Firm confirms layoffs that followed drug trial failure AMES — An Iowa drug company has laid off 87 people after a clinical trial failed on its new medication to fight a type of cancer. NewLink Genetics confirmed the layoff Monday. NewLink received negative clinical trial results last month regarding its medication called algenpantucel-L, which NewLink was developing to treat patients with a form of pancreatic cancer.

The trial results showed the drug didn’t offer patients higher survivability rates than standard care alone.

violates Mennonites’ rights

OSAGE — A magistrate has ruled a revised ordinance limiting the use of steel wheels on Mitchell County’s paved roads still violates the religious freedom of Mennonites.

Mitchell County Magistrate Nicholas Larson ruled last week in the case of Derek Zimmerman, a 14-year-old from Orchard who in August 2015 received a citation for violating the steel wheel ordinance.

City captures geese, birds sent to meat locker CEDAR RAPIDS — City workers in Cedar Rapids have rounded up hundreds of geese, with some headed for distant waterways and others destined for a meat processor. Workers Monday captured the geese around ponds, lakes and the Cedar River within Cedar Rapids. City parks superintendent Daniel Gibbins says there are too many of the birds, and roundups take place every year.

—The Associated Press

Data show at least 3,400 untested rape kits in Iowa The Associated Press DES MOINES — There are at least 3,400 untested rape kits in storage around Iowa, according to new data, and preliminary details indicate law enforcement agencies don’t have standardized rules for handling such evidence.

The Crime Victim Assistance Division within the Iowa attorney general’s office is in the midst of counting untested sexual abuse evidence collection kits by surveying all Iowa law enforcement agencies. The project is the first of its kind in Iowa amid a national spotlight on untested rape kits.

Division director Janelle Melohn said more than 70 percent of the state’s nearly 400 agencies have responded to an electronic survey sent earlier this year. The incoming data

show a range of procedures in place, though she declined to provide specifics because data collecting is still underway.

“It’s just a lack of consistency around the state on how law enforcement organizations are storing these kits, managing these kits ... there’s definitely a lack of clarity and a need for education,” she said.

A typical kit is smaller than a shoebox and contains swabs and specimens gathered during the examination of a sexual abuse victim. When tested, the evidence can potentially link to a known suspect or identify an unknown assailant. It can also connect a suspect to other crimes or exonerate an innocent person.

Melohn said there are many reasons a kit may not go through forensic laboratory testing and end up in storage.

“It’s just a lack of consistency around the state on how law enforcement organizations are storing these kits, managing these kits ... there’s definitely a lack of clarity and a need for education. .”

— Janelle Melohn Crime Victim Assistance Division

Often, a victim will decide not to proceed with an investigation.

State law requires law enforcement agencies to store untested rape kits at least 10 years in case a victim changes his or her mind, but there aren’t mandated instructions for when kits must be submitted for testing.

Maj. John Godar, with the Linn County Sheriff ’s Office, said having untested rape kits in Iowa “looks horrible on the

surface” but it’s a complicated situation. Godar, who is president of the Iowa State Sheriffs’ & Deputies’ Association, emphasized kits collected during an active investigation are tested within an appropriate period.

The data being collected by the state also is showing that law enforcement agencies sometimes discard kits before the 10 year requirement has expired, Melohn said. She

blamed such actions on “a huge lack of clarity and direction” on what is considered evidence and didn’t think agencies intended to violate the requirements.

There are possibly hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits across the country, according to the Joyful Heart Foundation, a national organization that advocates for mandatory testing of every rape kit booked into evidence.

Bakken pipeline Donor offers house for homeless veterans will run under sacred tribal site in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — State officials have revoked a stop-work order on the Bakken oil pipeline where tribal officials object to disrupting sacred American Indian land in northwest Iowa that includes burial grounds.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources spokesman Kevin Baskins said the state department granted Texas-based Dakota Access LLC an amendment to its sovereign lands construction permit.

Baskins says the pipeline will be located about 85 feet underground in the Big Sioux River Wildlife Management Area by using special equipment rather than digging a trench for a route.

State Archaeologist John Doershuk said in an email last week to department director Chuck Gipp that the proposed method is a satisfactory avoidance procedure.

Indigenous Environmental Network organizer Dallas Goldtooth says his organization opposes the department’s decision to allow the pipeline to be constructed in the area.

WATERLOO (AP) — Veterans advocates received a welcome gift when an anonymous donor offered a home on Waterloo’s east side that can soon serve as a veterans homeless shelter for the community.

The details are still being finalized to transfer the four-bedroom home to Americans for Independent Living, a nonprofit that specializes in home modifications for veterans. Work will need to be done to the home to prepare it to serve the needs of homeless veterans. But advocates told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier it will be a big step toward ending homelessness among veterans.

“Our goal here is to eradicate all the homeless veterans population here in Black Hawk County.

Hopefully this home will be the start of it,” said Kevin Dill, executive director of Black Hawk County Veteran Affairs Commission.

Dill said it’s estimated there’s an average of five to 30 homeless veterans living in the county

each month. He said those veterans are currently served by other agencies that offer temporary housing, but are often already at maximum capacity.

He said regardless of the number, veterans sleeping on the street should not be tolerated, particularly since Black Hawk County has the fourth largest veteran population in the state.

Tim Combs, director of Americans for Independent Living, said the time frame for opening the shelter depends on a number of factors — how much work needs to be done, donations of labor and supplies and when the nonprofit officially owns the home.

But his goal is to have it up and running within 60 to 90 days.

To that end, he is appealing for donations of materials and volunteer labor. People can donate at www.americansforindependentliving.org or by calling Combs 243-9932.

Combs does have a good foundation of funds to get the

project started — a $100,000 donation from the Trump Foundation. Combs’ agency was one of the veterans groups to receive funding following a fundraiser now-presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump held this past January at Drake University.

While Combs appreciates the donation, his long-term vision for giving a hand up to area veterans will require much more funding.

Dill said one of their top priorities now is securing transportation so homeless veterans can get job training, get to interviews and show up for jobs.

Long term, Combs said the goal is to have a homeless shelter for both men and women veterans, as well as securing transitional housing, allowing veterans up to two years to get back on their feet.

“We want to be there, be a partner, and a friend and family member with them for the entire time,” Combs said.

Trump’s campaign cycles $6 Vulnerable GOP senators million into Trump companies side with NRA on gun votes NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign likes to keep it in the family.

When Trump flies, he uses his airplane. When he campaigns, he often chooses his properties or his own Trump Tower in New York City, which serves as headquarters.

His campaign even buys Trump bottled water and Trump wine.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been on the campaign trail for a year now, and federal finance reports detail a campaign unafraid to co-mingle political and business endeavors in an unprecedented way — even as he is making appeals for donations.

Through the end of May, Trump’s campaign had plunged at least $6.2 million back into Trump

corporate products and services, a review of Federal Election Commission filings shows. That’s about 10 percent of his total campaign expenditures.

Unlike in the primary when Trump touted his ability to pay his own way, he has been on an urgent fundraising quest for more than a month.

His campaign began June with $1.3 million in the bank, compared with the $42 million presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton had amassed.

Wealthy political candidates in the past have walled off their business from their campaigns, but Trump embraces his companies. Public documents indicate his revenue has risen along with his presidential aspirations.

While Trump’s controversial comments have cost his businesses money — for example, the PGA Tour recently announced it would move its World Golf Championship from a Trump course to one in Mexico City — Trump reported in documents filed in May with federal regulators that his revenue had increased by roughly $190 million over the previous 17 months.

Trump’s campaign didn’t respond to detailed questions about the intermingling of his businesses and campaign.

Trump isn’t the first high-profile politician to run a campaign while managing large corporate assets. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and presidential contender Steve Forbes both ran companies bearing their name.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Among the Senate’s most vulnerable Republicans, Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey stood firmly with the powerful National Rifle Association on the latest ill-fated attempts at gun control. So did Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson.

Not so Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, who represents Chicago where so far this year, more than 1,780 people have been shot, leading to the vast majority of the city’s 294 homicides, according to police.

Just over four months to the election, and facing pressure from their Democratic opponents, most Republican Senate incumbents opted for consistency despite the political frenzy days after the worst mass shooting in modern American history. A lone gunman, Omar Mateen, killed 49 people and injured 53 at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, prompting fresh calls for tighter restrictions on weapons.

Mateen had been the focus of two terror investigations that were dropped.

Toomey, Portman and Johnson — as they did in December after shootings in San Bernardino, California — supported a NRA-preferred mea-

sure to deny a gun sale to a known or suspected terrorist, but only if prosecutors could convince a judge within three days that the would-be buyer was involved in terrorism. The three also helped to defeat a Democratic-sponsored bill to close the gun show loophole and expand background checks.

Kirk, facing a strong challenge from Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, supported that bill and another Democratic measure to allow the government to deny gun sales to suspected terrorists.

“If you’re too dangerous to fly on a plane, you’re too dangerous to buy a firearm,” said Kirk, who voted with the Democrats on a similar amendment in December.

The lone reversal was Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, who is in a tight re-election bid against Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan. Ayotte supported both the Democratic and Republican versions of the amendments to deny gun sales to suspected terrorists.

Ayotte said she is working with Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate Republican, on possible compromise legislation.

Cardinal baseball takes down Bluejays

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BONDURANT — A season-high 13 hits helped the Newton baseball team end an eight-game losing streak Monday as the Cardinals traveled to Bondurant-Farrar and downed the Bluejays 9-6 in non-conference action.

The Cardinals (6-13) built an early lead and then held on after allowing four runs in the fifth inning.

“We hit the ball tonight,” Newton coach Dustin Brisel said. “That has been something we just haven’t done enough of this year. Tonight, we got the big hits when we needed them.”

Lee

Sturtz

Senior Duncan Lee had three hits to lead the Newton offense, while Drew Stout, Brennan Dodd, Tyler Stanton and Garrett Sturtz all had two hits apiece.

Stanton and Sturtz both had two RBIs, walked once and scored a run, while Stout had one run and one RBI.

Sturtz earned the win on the mound despite allowing three home runs.

Sturtz tossed the first six innings, allowing 10 hits and four earned runs. Connor Gholson earned the save by striking out two and allowing one hit in the seventh inning.

“It was a great team effort,” Brisel said. “We had a solid night.”

Jarrid Clark, Hunter Kennedy and Tyler Flannery all homered for the Bluejays (108) in the loss.

Flannery had three hits, Kennedy finished with two hits and two RBIs. Newton plated four runs in the first inning and then went up 5-1 with another run in

the third inning.

The Cardinals scored four runs in the fifth to take a 9-1 lead. Bondurant-Farrar scored one in the fifth and four in the sixth to close within three, but the Gholson shut the door in the seventh.

The Bluejays finished with 11 hits and both teams committed three errors.

The Cardinals are off until 7:30 p.m. Friday when they play at Little Hawkeye Conference rival Grinnell. The junior varsity game starts at 5:30 p.m.

L-S baseball gets walk-off win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully senior Noah Engle tripled and scored on an error in the third inning to tie Colfax-Mingo during a South Iowa Cedar League home game Monday.

Engle reached base again in the bottom of the seventh inning and scored on another Tigerhawk error and the walk-off 4-3 victory helped the Hawks stay on top of the SICL.

The come-from-behind triumph moves Lynnville-Sully’s conference record to 11-1.

The Tigerhawks dropped to 7-6 inside the SICL. The Hawks have now won five of their last six games.

“We keep finding ways to be in ball games with a chance to win,” L-S coach Bob Scandridge said. “It seems every night someone else gets it going for us. Tonight, that was Noah Engle.”

Colfax-Mingo led 1-0 after one inning. Senior Gabe

Simpson reached on an error, stole second and then scored on junior Adam Teed’s RBI single.

Engle laced a triple to right field in the third inning and then scored when the throw to third base got by eighth-grader Trystin Ross.

Neither team scored again until the sixth. Both teams scored twice to make it 3-all.

Engle singled in the bottom of the seventh, moved up to second on a sacrifice bunt

by Caden Dunsbergen. Eli-

jah Collins hit a tapper back to freshman pitcher Zarek Hill, and the ball got past first baseman Misha Seebeck. That allowed Engle to score the game-winning run.

Lynnville-Sully (12-5) swept two competitive games against Colfax-Mingo (108) this season. The Hawks opened the season with a 6-4 win over the Tigerhawks in Colfax on May 23.

C-M softball holds off improved Hawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News SULLY — The Colfax-Mingo softball team made a statement in the first game of the season when it gave Lynnville-Sully its first South Iowa Cedar League loss in three seasons.

That game ended early as Colfax-Mingo scored nine runs in the first inning and cruised to the 15-4, five-inning victory.

Monday, the Hawks were out for some redemption and got an early advantage against junior Amy Russell.

Lynnville-Sully plated three runs in the first inning, but Russell closed the door in the final six innings, and the Tigerhawks rallied for a 4-3 road victory.

Raider softball shuts out North Polk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Abbey Kahler tossed a one-hitter and her defense made sure the Raiders didn’t allow another North Polk comeback M o n d a y during a 5-0 win in Heart Jurgens of Iowa Conference play.

CMB had a 5-1 lead over the Comets on June 14 before allowing five unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Eslinger The Class 3A No. 12 Raiders avoided the letdown Monday, scoring their first run in the fourth on home run by senior Payge Jurgens and then put the game away with a four-run sixth inning.

In the sixth, sophomore Katie Camp hit a one-out single and then moved up a base on a single by Kahler. Junior Mikayla Eslinger made it 2-0 with an RBI single and then eighth-grader Mikayla Houge delivered a two-run triple to push the lead to 4-0.

Houge scored the team’s fifth run on an RBI single by eighth-grader Holly Jessen.

Kahler allowed one hit in the circle. She struck out four and improved to 9-2 on the season.

The homer by Jurgens was her fifth of the season. Eslinger finished with two hits and one RBI, Houge had one hit and two RBIs and junior Megan Ritter, Camp, Kahler and Jessen all had one hit. Camp, eighth-grader Abby Husak, Jurgens, Eslinger and Houge all scored a run.

The Raiders (16-6 overall, 10-2 in the HOIC) play at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Prairie City-Monroe. The loss dropped North Polk to 14-9 overall and 7-4 in the HOIC. Saturday Raiders finish 1-2 in Rose Festival tournament STATE CENTER — CMB got a tough draw in the annual Rose Festival softball tournament on Saturday, and the Raiders nearly knocked off 5A No. 14 Cedar Rapids Prairie in the process.

Prairie (16-12) plated the only run of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning during a 1-0 win. CMB struggled in a 7-1 loss to Des Moines Christian before finishing seventh in the tournament with a 5-1 victory over Gladbrook-Reinbeck.

Against Prairie, Kahler struck out 11 batters and surrendered six hits. The Raiders had zero hits at the plate.

Des Moines Christian (810) gave Houge her worst loss of the season.

The Lions cranked out nine hits and scored seven earned runs against Houge.

Houge struck out six and walked five in dropping to 7-3 on the season.

The Raiders led 1-0 after the first inning. Camp scored the team’s lone run and had one hit.

Many romantic comedies rely on the story convention of two characters who can’t stand each other, except for the fact that they are actually in love.

Well, as you’ll discover today, sometimes opposites really do attract.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You need to influence the group before your plans will move forward. One way is to match your idea with an emotion. And the easiest way to do that is to turn it into a story and tell it well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). All you’ve absorbed has changed your purpose and being. You’re grateful for the training you’ve received and you’ll pay it forward in mentorship of others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You gave your heart freely and it floated like a bubble capturing all the oily reflections of color and atmosphere and lightness; then popped. Don’t let that stop you from giving freely again. Not every love is so fragile.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Maybe don’t worry so much about if it’s a good idea

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Put your teamwork to the test to find out what the strengths of it might be. Accomplishment with the group will be more satisfying and meaningful than what you accomplish alone.

Raider baseball loses extra-inning battle with Comets

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Stover struck out 15 Comets in seven innings, but the Raider baseball team lost an extra-inning game Monday.

North Polk scored an unearned run to walk-off with a 2-1 victory. The Raiders committed two errors in the game and were held to just four hits.

Stover allowed one earned run on four hits and walked three but did not factor into the decision. Junior Hunter McWhirter replaced Stover in the eighth and took the loss, allowing one hit.

The Raiders took an early 1-0 lead in the second when senior Aric Broderick drove in junior Brady Kemp. That would be the only run CMB could muster against North Polk freshman Colten Parkins.

Senior Kasiah Ehresman and junior Brenna Lanser came into the game batting .486 and .464, respectively. They got all four L-S hits Monday.

The Tigerhawks had nine hits in the win. Russell, junior Alivia Haley, freshman Mackensie Brown and freshman Chelsea Russell all had two hits apiece.

Alivia Haley doubled in the first inning and then scored on Amy Russell’s RBI single. That put C-M up 1-0.

With one out, Amy Russell helped herself with a double and then moved to third on Rhiannon Haley’s single. Rawlins was hit by a pitch to load the bases and then Amy Russell and Rhiannon Haley both scored on a two-run single by Brown.

That one-run lead was all Amy Russell needed. She only surrendered two hits in the final five innings.

The only other scoring threat for either team the rest of the way was in the sixth when the Tigerhawks loaded the bases. Chelsea Russell and Alivia Haley both singled and Amy Russell walked, but Loftus got Rhiannon Haley to fly out to left field to end the threat.

It didn’t matter though as the Tigerhawks completed the season sweep of their new conference rivals.

It was the fourth straight loss for Lynnville-Sully (1012).

Cardinals stop skid with win over Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — Trevor Rosenthal was in deep trouble when Yadier Molina came up with a huge play — for the closer and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Molina cut down rookie Albert Almora Jr. trying to take third on a ball in the dirt in the ninth, and Rosenthal held on for the save as St. Louis stopped a fivegame losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night.

Brandon Moss and Peralta homered against John Lackey as the Cardinals got back on track following their first winless homestand of at least two series since 1983.

It was their first trip to Wrigley Field since they were eliminated by the Cubs in the NL Division Series last year.

Lackey settled down after a slow start, but Garcia (5-6) and two relievers held the major league-leading Cubs in check.

Lackey (7-3) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings in his first loss in three appearances this year against his former team.

Moss went deep in the second and Peralta added a leadoff drive in the third. Aledmys Diaz also had a two-out RBI single for the Cardinals.

is rounding into form on the mound, getting stronger with each start.”

Hill went the distance on the mound for the Tigerhawks.

He took the loss, but only one of the four runs he allowed was earned.

Teed finished with two hits and an RBI at the plate, while Wyatt Owens and Seebeck each went 1-for-2.

Colfax-Mingo plays at 6 p.m. at HLV on Wednesday, while Lynnville-Sully hosts Montezuma at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

The Lions scored seven runs in the second and neither team scored again.

Jessen had two hits at the plate to lead the Raider offense. Sophomore Jordynn Wesselink had one hit and one walk.

Kahler pitched again against Gladbrook-Reinbeck and got the win, allowing one earned run on four hits. She struck out eight.

Ritter finished with three hits, three RBIs and one run at the plate, while Kahler had two hits and one RBI. Jessen scored two runs.
