Maytag Dairy Farms production remains stalled No cheese produced since February recall

Rodeo exceeds expectations at annual fair Round Up Miller, Freland crowned 2016 fair royalty

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News COLFAX — Anticipation for the rodeo to join Jasper County Fair activities came to an end Saturday night as hundreds of people gathered around the fairgrounds’ arena to watch barrel racing and see cowboys take on bucking broncs and bulls.

The rodeo, sanctioned by Duckworth Rodeo Production of Knoxville, was a new addition to the Jasper County Fair Round Up, which returned for a second year to give guests a sneak peak to the annual county fair in July.

Jasper County Fair volunteer and organizer Alan Guy said the rodeo was a huge success and drew more people than expected.

“That was a better crowd than any of us, I think, anticipated,” Guy said. “I don’t think we can ROUND UP | 3A

WHERE IT’S AT 75 CENTS

If you’re looking forward to the time when Maytag Dairy Farms is again selling the wellknown, traditional cheese products it began creating in the 1940s, you’ll probably have to do some more waiting.

An email statement from the Newton company, sent to the Newton Daily News late last week, did not give a timeline for when the dairy will begin production and resume sales.

It will likely be the early fall before it can discuss the improvements it is making to ensure safety in its process, the company said.

Production has been at a halt since a February recall for potential Listeria contamination.

“The Maytag family will be happy to meet with you at some point in the future to discuss their vision for the future of Maytag Dairy Farms,” the statement reads. “But we ask that this meeting wait until

we have completed the renovations taking place now. Perhaps we can arrange this meeting in the fall.”

Frank Liebl, the director of the Newton Development Corporation, said he knows the dairy has closely guarded its procedures and facilities. Turnover among plant employees seems to be very limited, he said, and the dairy typically doesn’t get involved in recruitment efforts such as the NDC job fairs.

Liebl said he wanted to include the dairy farm as one of the three businesses spotlighted in last October’s annual Salute to Business and Industry Luncheon. He said he hasn’t spoken with Maytag Dairy President and CEO Myrna Ver Ploeg recently, and declined to comment on any of the plant’s activities or future plans until Liebl can speak with Ver Ploeg.

Repeated attempts to reach Ver Ploeg or anyone to speak for the dairy had been unsuccessful until last week, including attempts made when potential Listeria contamination led to an initial Feb. 13

In Brief May unemployment rate remains 3.9 percent Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 3.9 percent in May. The state’s jobless rate was 3.6 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 4.7 percent in May compared to 5.0 percent in April.

“Consistent with the anemic job report posted nationally, Iowa did not see a decrease in the unemployment rate in May,” said Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend. “Although Iowa’s unemployment rate remained at 3.9 percent, Iowa saw a decline in its labor force. The drop may be attributed to a number of factors. On the positive side, construction, health services and education continue to lead all job sectors in growth for the year.”

The number of unemployed Iowans rose to 66,500 in May from 66,200 in April. The current estimate is 4,500 higher than the year ago level of 62,000.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,644,800 in May. This figure was 2,600 lower than April and 8,200 higher than one year ago.

Viva La Vida ready to ink

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Starting your own business is challenging for an experienced veteran in a field, let alone someone with less than a year of experience.

That is the leap of faith artist Eden Nelson took when she opened Viva La Vida Tattoo and Piercing Shop at 103 W. Second St. S., and the results have been nothing but positive.

“I’m fresh and new, but I did a lot really fast. I worked a lot and tattooed a lot and managed to work ahead really fast,” Nelson said.

Nelson’s mother, Joy, was in the shop getting a cover-up tattoo from guest artist Barron Bon Chance Mcollum and said Nelson has also worked hard, learning through a mastery program while being home school as a child.

“Even before she started actually tattooing she bought herself a machine and was practicing on fake skin and oranges,” Joy said.

An artist her entire life, Nelson worked mainly in traditional mediums such as paint and drawing before moving to tattooing. She apprenticed at Hot Rod’s Underground Lounge in Newton, learning the craft from well-seasoned veterans before branching out on her own.

With many avenues to pursue in tattooing, Nelson finds herself attracted to opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to designs.

“I really enjoy doing water color. Anything really elegant and flowing,” Nelson said. “Or anything really dark and scary.”

In her short time in business, Nelson has already set a new benchmark becoming one of the youngest females to open a tattoo shop at the age of 19. She has also received rave reviews for the work she has completed.

“I was the first person through the door, got my second tattoo from Eden, and I’m nothing but amazed by her talent and dedication,” Jake Kmiec said. “Her artistry supersedes all other Newton

inkers and her desire to please her customers is incomparable.”

If interested in a tattoo, Nelson will talk with the client about what they are looking to get and review any ideas they have. She will then draw a draft of the tattoo and send it to the client for approval. When a tattoo is agreed upon, an appointment will be made and quote will be given for the price of the tattoo.

While she might be a bit biased, Nelson’s mother had nothing but positive words to say about her daughter’s work.

“We’ve had her paintings on our walls for years so it was kind of neat to be a living canvas for her art,” Joy said.

Nelson is available by appointment and can be reached through her website www.lavidababe.com or by phone at 641-275-5812.

Viva La Vida also has a Facebook page where you can view art she has created.

What investors will be looking at with UK voting to leave EU NEW YORK (AP) — Britain’s vote to leave the European Union last week sent shudders through financial markets, and understandably so.

Investors now enter a period of deep uncertainty, expected to last not weeks but years, impacting the EU, the world’s largest collective economy with 500 million people. An estimated $2.08 trillion worth of wealth evaporated Friday from Hong Kong to London to New York as a result of the British vote.

Investors have lots to be worried about, but those worries fall into several categories. There are fears company investments in Britain and the EU will be put on hold, dampening those already fragile economies. Currencies are in a state of wild flux, which makes it more difficult for a country to export and import goods from abroad. The EU could face more departures from other countries, throwing the future of the economic union into doubt.

Of course, no one really knows the exact impact the unprecedented “leave” vote will have on the global economy, but that itself is a problem. To invest long-term, companies need to have clear idea about trade rules and tariffs and regulation they will face in the future. The vote to pull out of the European Union makes an unpredictable world so much more so.

The vote to “leave” is just the latest of a series of blows to financial markets, including an economic collapse in Greece and a threatened U.S. debt default to the more recent slowdown in the Chinese economy. Global growth has been anemic, with the world’s largest economy, the U.S., still struggling from a lack of confidence and tepid business investment and consumer spending.

Even though U.S. markets were almost back to their all-time high earlier this month, corporate profits have been falling. Revenue at companies in the Standard and Poor’s 500 index recently dropped for the fifth quarter in a row, nearly unheard of outside of a recession.

Saturday’s rodeo began shortly after 7 p.m. with Red Rock Riders captain Chelsey Lourens of Colfax, circling the arena with the American Flag as spectators rose for the national anthem. The entire Red Rock Riders team later returned to the arena and performed its synchronized act for the crowd.

It wasn’t long after when dozens of cowboys took on the first round of saddle bronc riding. A total of 16 riders from all over Iowa took turns in the arena trying to stay on the broncs for as long as possible before getting bucked to the ground or jumping from the animals after the buzzer sounded.

Twenty-five contestants

then competed in barrel races where riders maneuver around three obstacles set up around the arena as quickly as possible.

During intermission of the three-hour long rodeo, Duckworth Rodeo Productions entertained guests with commentary and even included the crowd in a few activities — one of which allowed kids to enter the arena to participate in a friendly race and get a little dirty. Parents in the crowd moaned as their kids were instructed to take off their shoes, lay down in the arena and make dirt-angels.

At dusk, the big bulls entered for the final competition of the night as 22 cowboys fought off the spinning and bucking beasts for as long as they could.

The night ended with Jasper County Fair organizers extremely thrilled about what had taken place.

“We know we can only improve, do better and make this a long-term established rodeo that everyone will want to come to,” Guy said. “The competitors last night were really pleased and the contractor was really pleased. Based on the return that we got last night, the feedback and the positive comments, I would say there’s a pretty strong possibility it’s coming back.”

There were some recommendations on improvements, such as creating more seating and making the horse arena better suitable for a rodeo. Guy said a transition to a full rodeo, which also includes roping and steer wrestling, is a strong possibility as well.

The rodeo was also where the 2016 Jasper County Fair Queen and Princess made their first public appearance together.

“I have met so many fantastic people here, and it will be very difficult to leave,” Bassman said. “I am deeply impressed by the generosity, kindness and devotion of Newton Main Street’s volunteers, which is why this program will continue to thrive and do great things.”

A new study suggests that napping may benefit your heart by helping to reduce the damage to the heart and arteries from high blood pressure. Researchers examined how an afternoon nap affected blood pressure in 400 men and women with high blood pressure. Those who napped saw on average a 5% reduction in their systolic (top) number throughout the day. For this particular study, participants napped at midday for one hour. Most research on napping points to the benefit of shorter naps 20 to 30 minutes, for reducing stress increasing alertness and productivity, and improving memory.

when Elmer Henry Maytag, son of Maytag Corporation founder F.L. Maytag, formed a dairy farm in 1919 to produce milk for the family and company.

When F.L. Maytag died in 1937, the inheritance of Fred Maytag II and his brother, Robert Maytag, included a dairy and Holstein dairy cattle. They oversaw the creation of a cheese plant and storage caves on the farm.

Maytag took advantage of a process developed by Iowa State University researchers to make blue cheese out of cow’s milk instead of traditional sheep’s milk.

The first wheels of cheese to bear the dairy’s name were produced in October 1941.

The Maytag family is still directly involved as owners of the company.

Puppy love I

awoke with one of those starts that is most memorable because your heart is pounding so strongly in your chest you can hardly breathe. Once I came to, I realized my husband was asking me — do you hear that?

No, I hadn’t heard it, and quite frankly I was a little peeved to be asked such an absurd question at midnight. Then I did hear some commotion. My husband, who apparently wakes with more ease than me, thought it was coming from outside. I figured it was one of the occasional packs of coyotes that make their way near our house with howls that sound more like screams, but after listening awhile I couldn’t identify the noise.

Begrudgingly, I got up and checked on our son — sound asleep. In the meantime I hear my husband yelling my name from our family room. When I walk into the room I can see he’s turned the patio lights on and beyond the sliding glass door I see it.

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer It’s a puppy.

And it’s not just any puppy. It’s the most adorable puppy you’ve ever seen, and he’s jumping and scratching at our sliding glass door like he’s a regular.

At this point we’re confronted with a few issues — the first being the little guy is completely muddy and wet. The second being we have a dog and she’s going to be none-too-pleased about this unexpected visitor.

We ended up taking the puppy into the garage where we thought maybe he could camp out while we tried to find his owner. Then we remembered he’s a puppy and he’d destroy everything in our garage and possibly harm himself in the process. At that point I decided I would hose him off in the shower and give him a proper bath since he was clearly going

to be an overnight guest.

It didn’t take too long for us to completely fall in love with him. We fed and watered him, and made him a little bed near ours — pretty ridiculous because we ended up having him sleep in our bed. Puppy snuggling has to be one of the best things ever. Where was our dog this whole time? Camped immediately outside of our bedroom door, none-toopleased as we had anticipated.

In an effort to find the owners we posted a photo of the pup and asked our friends and the Jasper County Animal Rescue League to spread the word. The next morning my husband took him to the Newton Animal Clinic to see if he was micro-chipped. He wasn’t, but he was identified as a 3-month-old Black Lab and Great Dane mix. Holy big boy!

While he was in great health and had a great personality we began to wonder if he had been abandoned by someone who couldn’t care for such a large dog.

Meanwhile, we all fall head over heels in love with the little sweetie. Even our

dog didn’t seemed bothered by the intruder once we introduced them. It was pretty adorable to see them playing together.

By the afternoon, with no owners coming forward we began discussing options with the animal rescue league — including adoption. When we got out to JCARL to start our new journey with the little guy, the phone rang. His owner had seen him on Facebook and wanted to make arrangements to pick him up.

We were crushed. It’s pretty tough not to get attached to a lovable puppy. Ultimately, we were very grateful the puppy and owner were reunited — and that we weren’t immediately launched into everything that comes along with having a puppy in your home.

While a new addition to our family wasn’t on the radar, it’s looking like a possibility now. While we weigh that decision, we’ll keep dreaming of puppy love and hope nothing more shows up at the door.

Eye on America John Stossel

Warning: Labels When you use a coffeepot, do you need a warning label to tell you: “Do not hold over people”?

Must a bicycle bell be sold with the warning: “Should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic?” Of course not. Yet that bell also carries the warning: “Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in serious injury or death.”

This is nuts. It’s a bell.

The blizzard of warning labels means we often won’t read ones we should, like the Clorox label that warns, do not use bleach “with other product ... hazardous gasses may result.” No kidding. Mixing bleach and ammonia creates gasses that can kill people.

But I rarely bother to read warning labels anymore, because manufacturers put them on everything.

A utility knife bears the warning: “Blades are sharp.”

I know about such dumb labels because Bob Dorigo Jones, author of “Remove Child Before Folding,” asks his readers and radio listeners to send in ridiculous labels for his “Wacky Warning Label” contest.

“We do this to point out how the rules that legislatures and Congress make favor litigation,” says Dorigo Jones. “We are the most litigious society on Earth. If the level of litigation in the United States was simply at the level of countries that we compete with for jobs in Asia and in Europe, we could save $589 billion a year.”

America has more silly warnings mainly because, unlike the rest of the world, we don’t have the “loser pays” rule in courts. That rule means that whoever wins a court battle is compensated by the loser. It creates an incentive not to bring frivolous cases.

In the U.S., the incentive is to try even dubious legal arguments and hope you’ll hit the jackpot. Or maybe your enemy will pay you to avoid the bigger cost of hiring lawyers to continue the fight.

More lawsuits mean more frightened corporate lawyers smearing labels on everything, just in case “lack of warning” is an issue in a lawsuit.

That’s probably why a toy Star Wars lightsaber comes with the label, “Not to Be Used as a Battle Device.” Why would they bother to say that? Did someone sue, claiming they thought a lightsaber would do what it does in Star Wars movies? I don’t know. The company never responded to our questions.

Some dumb labels are brought to us by dumb politicians. California requires warnings that something may be “toxic” or cause cancer on everything from foods to theme parks: “Disneyland Resort contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”

Gee thanks, California, but it would probably be better to warn kids about alligators over in Florida.

Dorigo Jones offers a prize to whomever submits the wackiest label. The lightsaber label won this year, earning Susannah Peat of Carmel, Ind., a thousand dollars. You can submit your choices to try to win next year’s prize.

Please do. It’s important to make fun of lawyer-driven stupidity that distracts us from more important risks.

I suppose I shouldn’t really blame companies.

They’ve been sued successfully so many times for not having labels that they feel they must try to protect themselves. Injuries aren’t the real danger here. Lawyers and politicians are.

When companies get sued, they end up charging higher prices to cover the cost of the lawyers. So those warning labels not only distract us but also are part of a process that makes us all poorer.

I worry that they also make us stupider.

Economists say that when people assume that government protects us from all possible harm, we acquire a false sense of security. We stop looking out for ourselves.

Those warning labels give us the impression that the law has assessed every possible risk — if something were seriously dangerous, government wouldn’t allow it.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Becoming ‘Marathon Meseke’ I used to hate running. Absolutely hated it. That was 10 years ago. The year is now 2016 and I have run six marathons including the Boston Marathon. So what happened? What changed? How did I go from a Fashion Merchandising major to an Exercise Science major?

Throughout junior high, I had been involved in sports yearround. When I got to high school, things turned out a little different.

When I was a freshman, I tried out for the volleyball team and when you’re 4-feet 11-inches tall, you don’t make the team.

Although I didn’t make the volleyball team, I still went out for the soccer team in the spring.

I quickly found out soccer is 50 percent running and 50 percent soccer. I had never run so much in my life; it seemed like boot camp. I worked hard each day and eventually became faster than most of the girls. It was then I decided to go out for the cross country team in the fall instead of trying out for volleyball again.

My first cross country season was fantastic and best of all, they don’t make cuts. Everyone was welcomed regardless of speed. It was such a fun atmosphere that I decided to drop soccer in the spring and go out for track. Track only solidified my newfound passion for running. I knew I wanted to continue to running after high school and throughout college.

During my first and second years of community college I played soccer in the fall — that’s it. Unfortunately my community college didn’t offer more than two different sports. In its place, I be-

Newton YMCA Morgan Meske came a very active YMCA member at the Scott County Family Y and next thing I knew I was a Zumba instructor. I was teaching three to seven classes each week and loved every minute of it. My predecessor had mentioned to me that she was an exercise science major at a local university. I had no idea someone could major in exercise. After teaching Zumba for four months, I noticed some of my participants were losing a substantial amount of weight. I couldn’t have been more excited to see that I was helping these members become healthier and achieving their weight loss goals.

It was then I realized that I had found my true passion in life and immediately changed my major.

Luckily I was at a community college so I was just working on my gen eds. I had transferred to a college to study exercise science and those classes helped solidify I had made the right decision.

After receiving my bachelor’s degree in human performance and fitness from St. Ambrose University, I eagerly began my career search. During this time I was an assistant cross country coach at my alma mater community college. I worked that parttime job and was unfortunately unable to find a full-time job.

After my student loans starting to kick in, I realized that my best option was to return to school and get my master’s. I found

myself scrambling in the fall in hopes to start a program in the spring semester. I had applied to four colleges and was fortunate to be accepted at the University of Northern Iowa. I started in the spring of 2015 and began my 1.5 year long program. When I began at UNI, I applied to work at the Black Hawk County YMCA in Waterloo.

Both teaching and interning at the Y, I was able to learn the ins and outs of the day to day operations of a wellness director. I was also awarded two graduate assistantships teaching leisure classes and academic classes, and working the group fitness/ personal training office.

During my last semester of graduate school, I began my job search. This time I was a lot more confident in my abilities and the experience I had received. I started to get phone interviews and eventually in-person interviews at several YMCAs. On April 20, I was fortunate enough to be offered my dream job as a Wellness Director at the Newton YMCA. This was the best feeling ever because I had locked down a job before graduating. Going back to school was the most beneficial experience and decision I had ever made. I am on my third week into being a wellness director and I absolutely love it. I have already made connections with so many staff and Y members that sometimes I cannot believe this is all real.

I am so blessed and honored that these wonderful people chose me to help inspire others to achieve healthy living goals.

es was over three times higher at night than during the day. To date, there have been 154 fatalities on Iowa roadways this year, up 31, or 25 percent from this time last year.

State and local law enforcement agencies will step up their efforts Friday evening, July 1 through the morning of July 5 to eliminate drunk drivers on the roads and reduce speeding in order to protect all of the motoring public.

What can you do in order to reach your destination safely, not only this Fourth of July, but every day?

• Do not drive if you have been drinking, plan ahead and arrange a way to get home.

• Buckle up. It is the single most effective way to prevent serious injury if you should be involved in a crash.

• Don’t speed. Speeding has been a factor in about 30 percent of crash deaths since 2005 (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

According to the Iowa DOT, there were no fatalities over the three-day Fourth of July holiday weekend in 2015. Together, we hope to repeat that this Fourth of July weekend. The Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau hopes you, your family and your friends have a safe and happy Fourth of July.

Newton police to step up efforts around Fourth of July holiday The Fourth of July is best known for celebrations with family and friends, enjoying the summer weather with food and drinks.

Those celebrations often include drinking alcohol, which can lead to impaired driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 164 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving at least one driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher over the three-day Fourth of July holiday in 2015. In reality, 40 percent of the total fatalities were more than likely preventable.

Keep your dogs on leashes to avoid fights and attacks

DEAR ABBY: Please remind your readers that it’s important to keep their dogs on a leash for their pets’ protection as well as the protection of those around them. In my community, leash laws are rarely enforced, and it’s common to see dogs running loose in city parks. The result is an increase in dogfights and unwelcome contact with people.

Coyote attacks are also common here in the West, and small dogs are often the victims.

If other dog owners kept their dogs leashed, I wouldn’t have to worry about them bounding up to mine and the ensuing dogfight that follows when my dogs interpret that behavior as a threat. Remember, just because you think your dog is friendly, that doesn’t mean all the other dogs are. If people would just keep their dogs leashed, it would avert a myriad of problems for the dogs and their owners. — MARGE IN PHOENIX DEAR MARGE: I’m glad you wrote. Unless dog owners are in an area where it is designated their animals can run loose — such as an offleash dog park — their pets should be leashed for their own safety as well as that of others. Off-leash dog parks (and beaches) provide a place for pets to exercise and socialize while also encouraging compliance with leash and “scoop” laws.

Pet owners must remember that coyotes are intelligent and highly adaptable. While they mostly do their hunting at night, they have also been known to “grab a snack” during the day if they happen to be hungry — to the dismay of owners of small pets. And when I say “grab,” I’m being literal. It has happened in an instant in front of the owner.

DEAR ABBY: I’m moving in a few weeks and have asked my girl-

friend of two years to move in with me. She’s considering it, but I suspect she’s unsure about it because I am pretty messy at times — underwear tossed on the floor, plates piling up in the kitchen every other day, etc.

I know if I could get my act together she would happily move in, which is something I really want.

Can you please give me some tips on becoming better at cleaning? I would hate for her to move in and feel like my maid, or worse, not move in at all. — READY TO COHABIT DEAR READY: Your problem may be less that you’re messy than that you’re a procrastinator. These are some basics: Buy a large wicker basket and keep it in a corner of your bedroom or closet. When the underwear and socks come off, toss them into the basket instead of on the floor. When you remove your pants and shirt, instead of throwing them over a chair, hang them up.

After you’re finished eating, either put your plate, silverware, etc., into the dishwasher, or hand-wash them immediately and put them where they belong. Try it for a week, and you’ll be amazed at how tidy your place will be.

Women to drop lawsuit on hair braiding in Iowa amid new law The Associated Press DES MOINES— Two women challenging Iowa’s regulation on African-style hair braiding plan to drop a lawsuit they filed last year because of an upcoming change in state law, a move that highlights occupational licensing requirements around the country that research show can be burdensome to workers.

The lawsuit filed in district court

by Aicheria Bell and Achan Agit against the state’s cosmetology board will be dismissed once new legislation takes effect Friday, said Meagan Forbes, an attorney with the Institute for Justice, a Virginia-based law firm representing the women. The pending law will allow people to do natural hair braiding in Iowa without a cosmetology license, which requires 2,100 hours of training that is mostly unrelated to braiding.

“It’s a major victory for Aicheria and Achan and for African-style hair braiders across the state,” Forbes said.

The Iowa Legislature in recent years has considered changing the rules, but never approved a bill. Late in the last session, the issue arose again when language was added to a budget bill that removed the training requirement but required natural hair braiders to take one hour of safety and sanitation curriculum annually and be subject to inspection.

Gov. Terry Branstad removed those stipulations in a veto, resulting in completely deregulating the work.

“Licensing and regulations should only be mandated when necessary to serve public health or safety. Natural hair braiding does not require government mandates, regulations, or licensing,” he said in a veto message.

Gifts of Significance for the ones you love.

101 W 2nd St N, Newton 792-6033 Mon-Fri. 10-6 • Sat. 10-2 www.choicesstore.com

Iowa will join roughly 20 states that exclude natural hair braiding from the type of regulation that critics say can be difficult for people in African-American and African immigrant communities because of time and cost. The Institute for Justice has led a combination of legal

and legislative efforts in more than half of those states.

Bell, 36, of Des Moines, currently braids hair at a barber shop and doesn’t have a license because she argues cosmetology school tuition can top $20,000. She thinks the lawsuit prompted the legislation.

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — University of Northern Iowa students studying Iowa’s rarest reptile aren’t just reading about them. They’re gathering information that will appear in future books and papers.

Under the direction of biology professor Jeff Tamplin, students are studying and helping to preserve isolated populations of endangered wood turtles in Black Hawk and Butler counties.

For Zach Hall, a graduate student, the turtles will be his focus of studies for the next 2 1/2 years. It also is a unique opportunity, he said.

“It’s very rare to find an endangered species in this state,” Hall said. “It’s very uplifting to know you’re helping something that is bigger than myself.”

Tamplin and his students have spent years tracking movement, measuring and recording dozens of wood turtles. They have placed radio trackers on many of the reptile’s shells.

“This is almost completely new to me,” said Brad Kerkove, a UNI student. “It’s nice doing actual things.”

The student who finds it gets the privilege of naming it.

“We have a lot of them named after Game of Thrones characters now,” Tamplin said.

Tamplin and his students’ work has led to habitat improvement recommendations proven to be effective this past year. County conservation and Iowa Department of Natural Resources staff cleared trees from areas near wood turtle habitats in March last year. Tamplin and his team recorded turtles using the area, including one who spent most of the summer living there.

“The turtles are already using this area now that it’s cleared,” Tamplin said.

“It’s rare in our wildlife world to have that real-time data that gives you such a positive response so quickly,” said Jason Auel, Iowa DNR wildlife biologist.

The habitat improvement work was made possible in part from a state wildlife grant from the U.S. Fisheries and Wildlife Service. Another state wildlife grant was awarded this spring after Tamplin and his team collected data showing the work was effective.

Loss of habitat is one of the biggest threats to the endangered turtles, Tamplin said. Encroaching development also brings predators such as feral cats and raccoons. More frequent and earlier flooding also threatens the turtles by putting nesting locations under water.

Short-handed Cardinals fall to LHC rival Grinnell

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Down four starters, the Newton Cardinal baseball team struggled in the first two innings Friday against Grinnell and never recovered.

The Cardinals fell behind the Tigers 7-1 after two innings and lost 9-2 during Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Newton coach Dustin Brisel said four regulars to the Cardinal lineup missed the game but wouldn’t comment on the reason.

“We got some other guys some experience, that’s one positive from

those guys not being here,” Brisel said. “They tried their best.”

The Cardinals were held to just five hits by Grinnell freshman Jayden Gibson. Gibson (3-2) fanned 11 and walked zero in the complete-game victory.

Brennan Dodd and Duncan Lee had four of the team’s five hits. Both Dodd and Lee finished with two hits apiece, while Dodd and Trevor Ergenbright each scored a run. Ergenbright had the other hit, too.

Ryan Hollibaugh finished with four hits and two RBIs for Grinnell (5-18 overall, 3-12 in LHC play).

CMB wins home tourney again

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — One night after hitting a game-winning home run against South Hamilton during Heart of Iowa Conference play, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Abbey Kahler nearly threw a perfect game in the circle.

Kahler was perfect through 3 2/3 innings and had three hits at the plate during the Raiders’ two wins at the Collins Days Softball Tournament on Saturday.

Kahler ending up allowing just one hit in

four innings, and CMB won its home tourney for the second straight season. The Raiders blew through Colo-NESCO 11-0 in five innings in the opener and then won the championship following a 3-0 win over Montezuma.

“I was definitely thinking too much,” Kahler said. “I am more relaxed right now than I was earlier this season.

I am seeing the pitches better.”

Eighth-grader Mikayla Houge earned the victory against the Bravettes. She also pitched the Raiders to

a 2-1 win over South Hamilton on Friday night.

Both Kahler and Houge are now 10-3 on the season.

“It’s great for me,” Kahler said of having another pitcher to count on. “Last year it was hard on my pitching every game. It’s great having her on this team, and we can count on her to win games, too.”

CMB had seven hits against Colo-NESCO. Five of those came from Kahler and senior Payge Jurgens.

Tigerhawks split four at Bobcat Invitational

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — The Colfax-Mingo softball team stepped away from the pursuit of its first South Iowa Cedar League title Saturday to once again play in the annual Marshalltown Bobcat Invitational.

The Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks split two games Friday and Saturday and are now 18-9 on the season.

Friday, Colfax-Mingo dominated 3A Bondurant-Farrar, 10-0, before falling to 5A host Marshalltown, 6-3. The Tigerhawks began Saturday with a 5-3 victory over 4A Marion and then closed the tournament with a 4-1 loss to 5A Des Moines Roosevelt.

The Tigerhawks have only two losses against 1A competition this season. They dropped a game against 2A state-ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, but every other loss has been to either 4A or 5A opponents.

In the win over Bondurant-Farrar, junior Amy Russell blasted her fifth home run of the season, while freshman Colbee Cunningham allowed just two hits in the circle.

The Tigerhawks led 4-0 after two innings and then scored four runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth to win easily.

Russell was 4-for-4 at the plate with a double and a homer. She also had four RBIs and scored three runs. Sophomore Ries Wilson had two hits and three runs, while junior Alivia Haley collected two hits and scored twice.

Freshman Delaney Underwood finished with two RBIs. Her only hit was a double.

dered two hits in six innings and registered three strikeouts and three walks.

Wilson (0-2) made her second start of the season against Marshalltown. She surrendered four earned runs on 10 hits, and the Bobcats won their third game of the season.

The Tigerhawks had six hits against Jasmine Judge. Wilson

had two hits and scored twice, while Cunningham had two hits, one RBI and one walk.

Russell’s only hit resulted in two RBIs. Cunningham’s RBI came in the first inning. Wilson and Rhiannon Haley both singled to load the bases. Cunningham singled in one run, but Judge got the next two batters

by strikeout and pop out.

Freshman Mackensie Brown reached on an error to begin the seventh. She went to third on Wilson’s double and then both runners scored on Russell’s two-run single.

The threat ended though when Judge got a ground ball TIGERHAWKS | 8B

Friday North Mahaska 3, Lynnville-Sully 2 NEW SHARON — The Hawks’ chance at another South Iowa Cedar League title took a huge hit Friday when North Mahaska got out to an early lead and held on for a 3-2 win.

Lynnville-Sully scored first, but the Warhawks led 2-1 after two innings. Both teams scored a run in the fifth.

The Hawks had five hits in the loss. Senior Kristen Van Der Wilt and Conover each had two of them.

Conover doubled, tripled and scored a run, while Fisk scored a run, walked and stole a base.

Fisk took the loss in the circle. She allowed three earned runs on nine hits with one walk in six innings.

The loss dropped L-S to 8-6 in SICL play, while North Mahaska is now 8-15 overall and 6-7 in conference play.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — After a disappointing conference loss to North Mahaska on Friday night, the Lynnville-Sully softball team bounced back and collected two impressive wins over a pair of Class 2A squads.

Tony Stewart snaps 84-race drought with win at Sonoma SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — For at least one weekend, Smoke was back.

Tony Stewart returned to victory lane for the first time in three years in vintage fashion — refusing to let Denny Hamlin steal a win at Sonoma Raceway away from him on the final lap Sunday.

Now he’s probably got a shot to run for a fourth NASCAR championship in his final season before retirement.

Stewart, mired in an 84race losing streak dating to 2013, finally won to stop a slide of poor performances, injuries and personal turmoil that has tarnished the end of his career. He missed the first eight races of this season, his last as a NASCAR driver, with a back injury suffered in an off-road vehicle accident one week before the season opened.

It meant Stewart would have to win a race and crack the top 30 in points to have one last shot at glory before he stepped out of the No. 14 Chevrolet for good. It was a long shot considered the way he has run the last three years, but those who know Stewart knew not to count him out.

And anyone who has followed his career now that’s Stewart is best when he’s in a bad mood, and Smoke was ornery all weekend in the picturesque wine country.

He complained about young drivers, snarked that NASCAR will be without any tough guys once he retires and grumbled he has no fun driving a Cup car anymore.

Well, he sure had fun on Sunday.

NASCAR photo Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Code 3 Assoc/Mobil 1 Chevrolet, celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday in Sonoma, Cali.

The 45-year-old took the lead on fuel strategy during a caution with 24 laps to go, and had to hold on after another yellow flag stalled the race.

The final restart came with 14 laps remaining — the same number as Stewart’s car — and he held off a trio of Toyota drivers for his third career victory at Sonoma.

Hamlin made it interesting by pouncing on a Stewart mistake to snatch the lead away from Stewart in the seventh turn of the final lap. Stewart grabbed it back in tricky Turn 11, where he dove to the inside of Hamlin and as the two raced side-by-side, Stewart pushed Hamlin toward the wall.

Bell wins wild NASCAR Truck race at Gateway MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Christopher Bell had a few chances to get it right, and he made the most of the last of three re-starts.

Bell kept the lead in a twolap sprint for his first victory of the season in the rain-delayed NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Saturday night.

“I knew I had to get a good launch, and I did,” Bell said.

Bell earned the 50th victory in the series for Kyle Busch Motorsports, tied for the most with Roush Fenway Racing, and the third this season by three drivers. Ben Rhodes, the pole sitter in the 200-mile

race, finished second.

“I learned a long, long time ago you’re only as good as the race cars you’re sitting in,” Bell said.

Bell’s second career victory in 16 truck series starts was his fifth top-10 finish this year. He finished eighth and 32nd the previous two races and worked his way up from ninth on Saturday.

“I think we’ve been kind of stressed,” Bell said. “We’ve been fast but we just haven’t been able to capitalize. I’ve been making a lot of mistakes lately and used my fair share of mulligans.”

The runner-up finish was

a career best for Rhodes, and Daniel Hemric was third.

“I had a really good run-off and he was coming up to try to block it, which is fine — it’s the last lap,” Rhodes said. “I got close to him but we had a good run.”

The final delay at Gateway Motorsports near St. Louis lasted more than 12 minutes.

It had entertainment value when John Wes Townley and Spencer Gallagher grappled with wrestling-style takedowns and punches.

“What a crazy race,” Rhodes said. “Crazy incidents on the track, crazy race. I don’t know what else to say. Just crazy.”

Fernandez fans 13, Marlins take weekend series from Cubs MIAMI (AP) — When Jose Fernandez reached second base with a standup double, he looked to his dugout, pulled up his right sleeve and flexed his biceps.

He showed some muscle on the mound, too, and his teammates were no pushovers either against the Chicago Cubs.

Fernandez allowed one run in seven innings and struck out 13 to help Miami win the series finale Sunday, 6-1. The Marlins took three of four games from the faltering, injury-depleted Cubs.

“They’ve got a bunch of talent,” Fernandez said. “They’re a very tough team to beat, and that says a lot about our team and how bad we want it.”

The Marlins went 7-3 on their homestand. At 41-35, they’re six games above .500 for the first time since June 2012, their first season in Marlins Park.

Miami outscored the Cubs 23-14.

“They’re a banged-up club, but we played well,” manager Don Mattingly said. “I don’t think this in our minds is a need to prove anything; I think our guys already believe we can play with anybody.

These guys believe in them-

selves that we can be a club that can contend.”

The Cubs went 1-6 for the week but still have baseball’s best record.

Fernandez “It’s like a fighter that cut a little bit — you have to keep going,” manager Joe Maddon said.

“We better call in reinforcements and call that panic button,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said facetiously. “We’ve put ourselves in a good position to go through these stretches. I’m not saying it’s OK. I’m not saying it’s fun.

But it’s a long season.”

Facing Fernandez (10-3) can make for a long day, especially at Marlins Park, where he improved his career record to 24-1 with a 1.48 ERA. The right-hander has been pretty good everywhere else, too. This year he has a 2.28 ERA and 138 strikeouts.

And against the Cubs, Mattingly sensed an extra edge from his ace.

“Jose looked early on like he was a little bit of a mission to show that club over there

what kind of pitcher he was,” Mattingly said. “He had a really good fastball today. He was able to beat a lot of guys with that, which sets up his other pitches.”

Fernandez’s top speed on the scoreboard radar gun was 101 mph. That came in the fifth inning, when he struck out the side.

Giancarlo Stanton doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth, and Martin Prado hit a three-run double in the ninth. Brian Ellington completed a five-hitter.

Jason Hammel (7-4) allowed two runs in six innings, and the Cubs lost his fourth start in a row even though he pitched out of several jams.

Miami was 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position before Christian Yelich singled home an insurance run in the eighth.

That run was unearned because of a throwing error by third baseman Kris Bryant.

A replay reversal put the Marlins ahead to stay 2-1 in the sixth.

With runners at the corners and one out, the Cubs appeared to turn a 5-4-3 double play, but a review determined Adeiny Hechavarria beat the throw to first.

Stewart got past Hamlin and charged to the checkered flag with the entire side of his car crumpled and his tires slightly smoking from the contact with Hamlin.

“I made mistakes the last two laps, I had just a little bit too much rear brake for Turn 7, and wheel-hopped it two laps in a row,” Stewart said. “I

felt a nudge when I got down there and he knew where it was and he did the right thing doing it there, but if I could get to him, he knew what was coming.”

Gene Haas, co-owner of the team with Stewart, noted that few thought Stewart wasn’t going to catch Hamlin in Turn 11.

Dozens of drivers then pumped their fists out their window to salute Stewart on his victory lap while his father, Nelson, wiped away tears. Crew members lined the wall to slap his hand, and teammates Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch were among the drivers to rush to speak to Stewart while he was still inside his car.

So did Hamlin, a former teammate of Stewart’s who has become somewhat of a protector to his one-time mentor.

As leader of the Driver Council, Hamlin got the council to split the cost of a $35,000 fine Stewart received this year for criticizing NASCAR. “He told me he was proud of me, he knows what it means,” an exhausted and emotional Stewart said in victory lane.

After chugging a Coca-Cola, he slumped to the ground and sat alongside his car.

Hamlin finished second in a Toyota and was followed

by Joey Logano in a Ford, pole-sitter Carl Edwards and Martin Truex Jr. as Toyota drivers took three of the topfive spots.

Harvick was sixth, Kyle Busch seventh, while Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch rounded out the top 10.​

Astrograph

Yesterday it was the resonance between fortunate Jupiter and profound Pluto that gave off an atmospheric shimmer of hope.

Today that hope softens into a dreamy haze, with the arrangement of Venus and Neptune in water signs. What’s your tolerance for surrealism and poetry?

You’re about to find out.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 27). You’re self-assured and autonomous, though over the next three weeks there’s something to be gained from letting another person care for you. You enter a November situation with a kind of amused detachment and quickly see how to turn this

to your advantage, financially and otherwise. The phone rings in December with that special call. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 1, 22, 38 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

To allow for greater awareness, don’t require yourself to always act on everything you learn.

Sometimes it’s enough to open up and sit with the information awhile.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The ones you admire like you, too. This sense of belonging is a good dynamic, a safe, comfortable feeling and a well-earned

moment not to be taken for granted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

A theme is developing in your personal life. This is all headed in a fortifying direction. There are some ideas you find so beneficial that you’ll come back to them again and again.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What you’re experiencing may be a troubled situation where happiness seems elusive, but it’s also just one place in one moment. Keep moving. You’re passing through this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The true pleasures of life will contribute to your health and wellbeing, not strip away from it. Be

skeptical of anything that gives you a short-term rush. What’s good for you will both take and last longer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Usually, upon meeting someone for the first time, you’re able to form an impression in less than 10 seconds. Today you’ll meet someone who requires and deserves a much longer assessment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The oldest trick in the book is also one of the most effective, otherwise it wouldn’t have lasted this long. Fortune follows old-school methods. Do it the way your grandparents would have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Don’t get too ambitious for the favor of the group. This particular mix may seem prestigious today, but it’s a social sheen that will wear off over time. Engage with energy, but not too much.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). New expenses turn your head and make you realize that you must decide how far to take things. How deep should you invest yourself and your resources? Your mindfulness now will prevent regret later.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whether it’s outside of you or self-generated, there is a larger purpose being fulfilled.

You feel that you’re an instrument of a more powerful will

than the impulsive one that moves you through the typical day’s minutiae.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Most human suffering is selfinflicted, and yet that doesn’t make it any easier to stop. The small steps you take to be more disciplined reinforce your sense of power over yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Enjoy your temporary golden status, as you’re in a position to bring the joy and good tidings while someone else delivers the less joyful news, the unpopular idea or the difficult work that no one is looking forward to.

L-S baseball can’t take advantage of opportunities

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter freshman Hannah Caple fields a ground ball in the fifth inning of the Raiders’ 11-0 win over Colo-NESCO in the first round of the Collins Days Softball Tournament on Saturday. CMB won its home tourney for the second straight season.

CMB Continued from Page 1B Kahler singled in the first, smoked a two-run single in the second and laced a double in the third. Her courtesy runner, Gracie Cheville, scored three times.

Jurgens walked and scored on an error in the first inning, singled and scored on an error in the second inning and then drilled an RBI double in the third.

The Raiders led 3-0 after one inning. Sophomore Katie Camp recorded an RBI groundout, and the other two runs came on a Royal error. Colo-NESCO committed five errors in the game.

In the second inning, 10 batters came to the plate for CMB. Sophomore Jordynn Wesselink and junior Megan Ritter both reached on errors and Camp walked to load the bases. Kahler’s

two-run single made it 5-0. Jurgens, junior Mikayla Eslinger and Houge all followed with hits.

Houge’s was an RBI double that made it 9-0.

Eighth-grader Holly Jessen put the Raiders up 10-0 with an RBI groundout.

In the third, Kahler doubled with two outs and then Cheville scored on Jurgens’ RBI double.

That was more than enough support for Kahler, who struck out five and allowed one hit in four innings. Freshman Sydney Schmidt pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the fifth.

CMB hosts 1A No. 11 Colfax-Mingo at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Collins. The Raiders host Roland-Story at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Friday CMB 2, South Hamilton 1 Houge struck out nine in the circle and Kahler homered and had both RBIs during CMB’s 2-1

over South Hamilton on Friday night.

Ritter led off the game with a double and scored on Kahler’s RBI single. Kahler blasted the game-winning homer in the bottom of the fifth to complete CMB’s scoring.

“I was struggling with outside pitches earlier this year, but I am keeping my hands inside better,” Kahler said.

Camp, Jurgens and freshman Hannah Caple each had one hit at the plate. Houge allowed seven hits, walked two and hit one in winning her 10th game of the season.

The victory keeps CMB on top of the HOIC. The Raiders are now 12-2, while Saydel is 112. The two teams meet at 7 p.m.

Thursday in Des Moines.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 2B out, a line drive out and a strikeout.

Colfax-Mingo began Saturday with a win over Marion (9-17).

Brown had two hits in the game. Russell and Haley finished with three hits apiece. Russell scored a run and Haley had one RBI. The Tigerhawks were helped by four Marion errors.

Roosevelt got an early advantage against the Tigerhawks in one of the tournament’s final games and held on to win 4-1.

The Roughriders (10-18) plated two in the third against Russell and then added two more in the fifth after Colfax-Mingo cut the deficit to 2-1.

Russell (10-3) took the loss in the circle. She allowed three earned runs on eight hits in six innings.

Russell had two of the team’s six hits at the plate, too. She also walked and scored a run. Sophomore Rhiannon Haley had one hit and one RBI. The Tigerhawks stay outside the SICL when they play at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 3A No. 13 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

Colfax-Mingo hosts North Mahaska at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Adam Ring/Marshalltown Times-Republican Colfax-Mingo junior Amy Russell throws the ball to second base during the Tigerhawks’ loss to Class 5A Marshalltown at the Bobcats’ home tournament on Friday.

NEW SHARON — The Lynnville-Sully baseball team had eight hits and d r e w seven walks against North Mahaska on Friday night, Van Zante but the Hawks couldn’t take advantage of those opportunities during an 8-2 loss in South Iowa Cedar League play.

North Mahaska had nine hits and one walk in the game but swept the season series with the Hawks and improved to 11-10 overall and 9-6 in conference play.

Lynnville-Sully fell to 13-6 overall and dropped out of a tie for first place with BGM in

the SICL after the loss.

The Hawks are now 12-2 in conference play, Ross Van Wyk had two hits and scored one run in the game for Lynnville-Sully, while Noah Engle collected two hits.

Tyler Van Zante had one hit, two walks and scored one run, and Carson Dunsbergen finished with two walks.

The Bears have won five straight games.

Tigerhawk baseball can’t find way out of current losing streak

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo baseball team was 10-5 after a 5-2 win over Prairie City-Monroe on June 14.

Since that victory and season sweep of the Mustangs, the Tigerhawks have been on a slide.

Friday’s 7-3 loss to BGM, the South Iowa Cedar League’s best team, was Colfax-Mingo’s sixth consecutive loss.

The two teams were tied at 1-all after one, and the Tigerhawks held a 2-1 lead after two.

BGM though rallied with a four-run third and never trailed again, scoring two more in the sixth.

It was the fifth straight for the Bears, who are now 18-5 overall and leading the SICL at 13-1.

Colfax-Mingo is now

7-8 in SICL play.

The Tigerhawks have played since June 4 without ace pitcher Jonathan Jacobs and key starter Jarrod Nichols.

They get those two players back for the stretch run, but Colfax-Mingo has fallen into the No. 5 seed of 1A District 13.

Colfax-Mingo had just four hits against BGM. The Tigerhawks collected only two hits in an 8-1 loss to 2A Pella Christian (15-10) on Thursday and lost a 3-1 lead during a 9-3 loss to HLV (7-10, 6-8) on Wednesday.

The Tigerhawks look to right the ship at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Colfax against former conference rival Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (9-8).

Kennedy struck out 11 over seven innings, Kendrys Morales hit two home runs and the Royals snapped the Houston Astros’ seven-game winning streak with a 6-1 victory Sunday.

After Royals starters Edinson Volquez and Chris Young were roughed up in blowout losses in the first two games of this series, lasting a total of 3 1/3 innings, Kennedy allowed one run and three hits with one walk.

Kennedy (6-6) struck out his final four batters and finished one shy of matching his career best in strikeouts.

Morales connected for a solo drive in

the fourth and seventh.

Cheslor Cuthbert hit a two-run shot against Doug Fister (8-4) during Kansas City’s five-run seventh.

Lorenzo Cain had three of the Royals’ 13 hits.

Fister, who was 7-0 in his previous 10 starts, lost for the first time since April 25. He gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings, including three home runs.

Evan Gattis hit a leadoff homer in the sixth for Houston.

Astros star Jose Altuve singled in the fourth to extend his streak of reaching base safely to 29 straight games, matching his career high set last year and the longest active streak in the majors.
