Local reaction mixed on Supreme Court decisions Pollard, Kaufmann differ as court affirms same-sex marriage rights

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Supreme Court of the U.S. handed down two key decisions last week that led to a lot of celebrating — along with some public statements from those opposed to the outcomes.

The court decided 6-3 Thursday to upheld the nationwide tax subsidies underpinning President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, rejecting a major challenge to the landmark law in a ruling that preserves health insurance for about 8.7 million Americans. The court also announced a

5-4 ruling on a case that will expand the scope of the 1968 Fair Housing Act in a way that will positively impact samesex couples.

That produced some nationwide acclaim, but nothing like the celebrations that took place Friday. That’s when the court handed down a 5-4 decision on a case that makes same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states, regardless of bans passed at the state level.

Some Iowans took a public stance on samesex marriage long before the Iowa Supreme REACTION | 3A

Barr, Reddings honored at Kellogg’s Sesquicentennial

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News People on chairs and blankets lined the road ready to celebrate Kellogg’s Sesquicentennial with the opening ceremony and parade Saturday. Three very special guest were a part of parade riding in style with Grand Marshal David Barr in a convertible and Sesquicentennial King and Queen Virgil and Marie Redding in a Plume Hill carriage waving to those in attendance.

File Photo Cindy Pollard (center), shown here at an October 2014 political event, has been involved with Jasper County Democrats for years, and is currently their elected executive organizer. Pollard and her spouse, Gayla Snook, were among the first Jasper County residents to get married after the Iowa Supreme Court’s 2009 decision, and Pollard applauded the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions last week that affirm same-sex marriage, while local reaction was mixed.

Grand Marshal David Barr Barr is the youngest child of Chester and Irene, who grew up as a Kellogg resident most of his life. He attended Kellogg Elementary and graduated from Newton High School in 1976.

From there he received his degree in Farm Operations and Management from Ellsworth Community College and began farming along with working at Maytag.

“Known throughout the community for his work ethic, integrity, exceptional leadership and most importantly his service to others, these faithful attributes are what entitle him to the prestigious position of grand marshal,” event coordinator Lauren Gildersleeve said.

Currently, Barr serves on the administrative board at the Kellogg United Methodist Church, and he was a past leader of the community youth group and Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News was a leader for KID’s Married for 77 years, Virgil and Marie Redding have a Club and Vacation Bible rich history in Kellogg and were selected to be King and School. He helped start Queen of the sesquicentennial celebration. During the parade the couple greeted the crowd riding in a Plume Hill carriage.

State Republican leaders recently decided to eliminate the Iowa Straw Poll event that had been held every year ahead of a presidential election cycle since 1979. That paved the way for local GOP groups to hold more local, less intensive strawpoll type events.

The Republican Party of Jasper County held a preliminary caucus on June 22 at Bridgehouse Coffee Shop to get a sense of who currently leads the presidential contest.

Coined “The Newton Poll” by the party’s leaders, the idea was announced before the party’s state leaders made the decision to cancel the Iowa Straw Poll.

The Jasper GOP hosted representatives from

nine candidates and potential candidates.

“As Iowans, we’re at the epicenter of this process, and it’s clear that our local party is focused on their role in helping pick our next president,” said Marshall Critchfield, chairman of the Jasper Republicans. “I’m so encouraged by the participation both from the campaigns and the voters.”

Critchfield said there were 41 eligible voters at the June 22 event, so there were 123 total votes cast. The 41 participants were given ballots with three lines, and asked to write down their top three choices.

The only rule was that they could not write the same name more than once.

New food truck EATS! in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News There is a new place to eat in town but you better not blink or you will miss it. EATS! Food Truck owned by Kim Johnson will offer up midwest food that she hopes Newton community members will like to eat.

“It’s been really, really, good so far,” Johnson said. “I do encourage people to come and try.

Have an open mind, this really is an up and coming thing.”

Currently serving in the parking lot at Pit Stop Liquors, EATS! opened its window June 12 and serves up meals including a mac and cheese dog, chicken and waffles, Frito dog and sweet baby burger, which includes an all beef patty with bacon and cheese on a doughnut bun. She also has some sweet treats with deep fat fried Oreos and a deep fat fried ba-

con doughnut.

“Spending a lot of time in New York and observing food trucks there, that is where the dream came from,” Johnson said. “We have two cooks who are experienced line cooks, we have our front counter girls who are friendly and inviting. If you see the awning up we are open.”

In a new, special ordered food truck Johnson designed herself, the business is state certified, clean and ready to serve at events and special parties. Because the nature of the business, hours and locations will vary.

“The best way to find hours is to like us on Facebook, and we put out where we are,” Johnson said. “In the future, I’m looking forward to visiting many places, even private events or catering events.”

She has been in talks with TPI and Trinity to set up during the lunch hour and serve. John-

son also hopes to travel to music festivals, events and other businesses. By heading to events, it increases her chances for business rather than staying in one place and taking a change with drive by traffic.

The truck will be open all year and during the winter months will be stationary at an undetermined location. Each season will bring a different menu with lighter sandwiches and hot dogs when it is warm and heavier sandwiches and soups when the temperature drops.

Along with its daily locations, EATS! will be at the next Thunder Nites Bike Night in July. For more information or to book an event contact EATS! on Facebook.

DES MOINES –— The Iowa Finance Authority and the Iowa Association of Realtors recently announced a new initiative to educate Iowans about homeownership programs available to assist them in purchasing a home this summer. The website IowaHouseHunt.com provides an overview of resources and programs and a chance to win a grand prize of $5,000.

This campaign aims to ensure that Iowans are aware of all the homeownership resources available to them when they finance a home with the Iowa Finance Authority.

These resources include: $2,500 in grants to help pay for down payment and closing costs; $5,000 in grants for eligible service members; Mortgage credit certificates offering a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 a year for the life of the mortgage; competitive interest rates and limited fees for both government-insured and conventional mortgages; access to unique conventional mortgages; Iowa Title Guaranty to provide free legal defense for the title of a home; and participating lenders all across the state.

Iowa unemployment rate remains at 3.8 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 3.8 percent in May, but was down from the May 2014 rate of 4.4 percent. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate rose to 5.5 percent in May from 5.4 percent in April.

“Iowa’s businesses continued to add employees in May,” said Beth Townsend, director of Iowa Workforce Development. “This month’s increase was fueled by hiring in manufacturing, education, and financial activities and offsets the slight decline in employment last month.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 64,700 in May from 65,600 in April. The current estimate is 9,500 lower than the year ago level of 74,200.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,645,800 in May. This figure was 2,000 lower than April, and 19,200 higher than one year ago.

US stocks fall in early trade as Greece debt woes escalate NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks fell in early trading Monday as concerns mount over Greece’s debt woes. Major markets in Europe took a battering following news over the weekend that Greece’s eurozone partners refused to extend the country’s bailout program.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down 13 points, or 0.6 percent, to 2,088 as of 10:08 a.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 114 points, or 0.6 percent, to 17,832, and the Nasdaq com-

posite fell 38 points, or 0.8 percent, to 5,042. The losses were broad but modest. Eight of the 10 industry sectors in the S&P 500 index traded lower.

“The initial market reaction is negative,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at the brokerage BTIG, in a note to clients, “but as we’ve been saying, 2015 isn’t 2011; we do not think this is Armageddon for the global economy.”

Tensions escalated over the weekend after Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the country will hold a refer-

endum on proposals made by the country’s lenders. European officials refused to extend the country’s bailout program, which expires Tuesday, and the European Central Bank capped its emergency support for the country’s banks. That prompted the Greek government to announce limits on money withdrawals and transfers. Daily cash withdrawals are capped at 60 euros ($67) per account.

Sysco said it scrapped a proposed $3.5 billion buyout of US Foods after the Feder-

al Trade Commission blocked the deal to combine the two food-service companies. The FTC argued that the merger it would reduce competition by putting three-quarters of U.S. market for restaurant suppliers under the control of one company. Scuttling the deal means Sysco has to pay US Foods $300 million in breakup fees.

Sysco’s stock sank 52 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $37.85.

Benchmark U.S. oil fell an even $1 to $58.63 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, a bench-

mark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell $1.38 to $61.88 a barrel in London.

U.S. government bond prices jumped, sending the yield on the 10-year Treasury note down to 2.39 percent from 2.47 percent late Friday.

The euro fell to $1.1147 from $1.1160.

The Shanghai Composite Index fell 3.3 percent. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 2.6 percent despite a surprise interest rate cut from China’s central bank.

Poll Results

Continued from Page 1A There were also visitors from other counties and about 10 staffers either representing the official campaigns or the organizations likely to become presidential campaigns.

The order of speaking commenced alphabetically by the last names of candidates, from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and each representative took less than five minutes.

“There’s been a lot of talk about Walker in Iowa over the past year, so I am not terribly surprised with his success in this poll,” said Critchfield. “He’s a Midwesterner with ties to Iowa, and people are impressed with his track record. It’s important to remember that we’re a long way from the Feb. 1 Iowa Caucus, and things can

Reaction Continued from Page 1A Court’s 2009 decision that led to couples wedding in the Hawkeye state. Many Iowa proponents and opponents of the practice made statements Friday.

Cindy Pollard and her spouse, Gayla Snook, were among the first Jasper County residents to get married after the 2009 decision. Pollard applauded the court’s decisions, saying last week’s decisions provide about 1,100 new federal and state benefits to many groups of Americans.

“We are elated — tearful at this historic victory,” Pollard said. “It’s a great day to be alive and witness this — just to be recognized in every state.”

Not everyone is elated.

The Republican Party of Jasper County held a preliminary “Newton Poll” caucus on June 22 at Bridgehouse Coffee Shop to get a sense of who currently leads the presidential contest. Representatives from nine candidates and potential candidates spoke, and 41 registered Jasper County republican voters cast votes for their top three choices for the party’s 2016 presidential nominee, at this point.

Newton resident Diane Birchard picked Walker as her first choice because of his record of fiscal responsibility and because she feels he has shown integrity in his of the 2014-15 Davenport Diocesan Board of Education, said the rulings set up the nation for many similar debates and battles in courtrooms.

“I side with the four dissenting justices and feel the Supreme Court overstepped its authority in making a decision; (the court) belongs to the people of the individual states,” Benson said.

“This particular issue was working its way through state processes. No doubt, there will be many other governance issues currently under the purvey of state and even local governments that will change as a result of the outcome of these particular cases.”

Iowa state GOP chairman Jeff Kaufmann thinks the court is stepping out of a judicial role by making such a decision.

“The recent Supreme Court decisions have only proven once again that

time as governor of Wisconsin.

Walker is still in the exploratory phase of the campaign and is expected to announce his candidacy on July 13.

we must redouble our effort to elect a Republican to the White House in 2016,” Kaufman said.

“One who will nominate judges who respect the different roles of our three branches.”

The bishops of the Iowa Catholic Conference also issued a statement. Morality and what’s legal within a nation’s borders are not necessarily one in the same, the bishops said.

“The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage saddens us,” the bishops said. “We still expect that true religious liberty, enshrined in our Constitution, and won at such a dear price, will be honored, allowing us to be guided by a faithformed conscience in our teaching and practice. To make something legal does not mean that it is true or good. Take, for example, the ruling (Roe vs. Wade in 1973) that legalized abortion. Not-

Barr was often found serving behind the scenes at community events such as Trunk or Treat, sweet corn feeds, Kellogg Konnections and even during the Sesquicentennial event.

With all that he has done, Barr considers his greatest achievement to be the face that his three children know the Lord as their personal savior.

withstanding this ruling, we will continue to lead people to live under the Gospel, which requires us to be humble and loving to all others — regardless.”

Not all clergy are against same-sex marriage, however. Rev. Jessica Petersen, pastor at the Congregational United Church of Christ of Newton, said her church approved a resolution in 2005 that advocated for the right of same-sex couples to marry.

“As a follower of Jesus and a minister of the gospel, I understand these three decisions to be true acts of justice, and an advancement in co-creating with one another and with God the just and loving realm of God right here and now,” she said.

Marie, 94, grew up south of Sully but was “swept off her feet” by Virgil and moved to Kellogg after marrying him. Marie is the youngest of seven children and worked as a meat wrapper and candled eggs before becoming a homemaker.

She likes to make afghans and going “blue grassing” as a family.

The couple met at Old Settler in Lynnville and married 77 years ago on March 18, 1938. The story goes that Virgil “spotted Marie and knew he wanted that charming, pretty lady.” The couple had three children and their family has grown with eight grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Summer camp

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | June 29, 2015

Have you ever driven out into the middle of nowhere and dumped your child off with a bunch of strangers near a lake?

That was my task recently, and I’m still a first-time camp mom freaking out about it.

From the get-go, I felt like a traitor.

The thing is — I was a homesick camper. I’d probably rate my sole summer camp experience as one of the low spots of my otherwise happy childhood. Not that the Brownies experience was poor, or that Camp Sacagawea was a bad place to hang. I just missed my mom, and my dad and even my stupid brother. I wanted to go home.

I lasted the duration of camp, but not before penning a dramatic letter home detailing my misery — “I don’t think I’m going to make it,” I wrote to my parents. I found that letter years later as an adult and could still remember those

feelings.

So how did I wind up sending my poor son to camp where I just expected he’d thrive?

Well, a friend from church told me about this camp her children had participated in — she raved about it and it sounded great. I decided to set my own experience behind and encourage our son to participate. We had him at archery, horseback riding and swimming twice a day.

Our son’s camping experience began the day my husband woke up at 5:30 a.m. and flew to Phoenix for business. It was a last minute trip and one he explained was a “big opportunity” — words that are oftentimes used to try to contain any frustration I might have with an 11th hour trip. It’s tough, but we try to be as supportive as possible of each other’s careers. While he travels often, I am the one most likely to be sneaking off to send work

emails or texts (in the bathroom of a nice restaurant he took me for my birthday.)

Luckily, I had our girls with me, and they helped us through a seriously long check-in line at camp, and afterward accompanied me to dinner and shoe shopping. Hey, I have my own ways of dealing with a lonely heart.

After I dropped the girls off, I headed back home, which was entirely vacant and completely lifeless. Even my dog was at the kennel since we’d been traveling that weekend.

It was natural that I was immediately drawn to a two-page newsletter sent home with me called “Camp Happenings.” I was particularly intrigued by “Tips for Homesick Campers (and parents).”

As it turns out, I’m not alone — either in my homesickness as a young camper or as a fretting parent. Homesickness is the norm rather than the ex-

ception, the newsletter told me — 83 percent of campers typically experience homesickness at least one day of camp.

What have I done to my child? He was probably already miserable and hating me — probably feeling just like his mom did when she was little — like he wasn’t going to make it.

Fortunately, the next few graphs explained how staff is trained to deal with it and should the child really be struggling, you’ll get a call.

(You can even take them home if necessary!) At this point, I’ve not talked to him, but I have seen plenty of photos of his smiling face on the camp’s online photo gallery.

The newsletter concluded, “We have a few homesick children, but we have homesick parents by the dozen.”

Letters to the Editor

Upset by ‘publicity tactics’

Michael Ware Baxter Rep. Dan Kelley recently photobombed six bill signings at the Capitol Complex. Bill signing ceremonies at the Capitol building in Des Moines are for the purposes of publicity. An average bill signing contains the governor, lieutenant governor and often the bill sponsor from the House or Senate, and occasionally one or two key legislators along with a person or two from the public who may have been pivotal advocates for the legislation being signed into law.

If you’re picturing a big desk in a fancy room with anywhere from six to 15 people, you’d be correct.

You’d need to have a personal

and significant tie to be part of a ceremony like those I described above. There aren’t invitations.

Instead, the honor system is utilized. Just showing up for a picture opportunity is neither appropriate nor prudent. Anything else is crass and in essence claims credit where it wasn’t earned.

Dan Kelley has broken, again, some of the most basic rules and time honored traditions of the State of Iowa. I predict he’s preparing to pull the wool over our eyes. Undoubtedly, Kelley is going to use his bully pulpit in the broadcast media, social media and his outgoing emails to send you pictures of him posed with others at various bills signings. These pictures will be put forth with descriptions and narrative specifically designed to imply how much he’s doing on

Appreciated ‘Orphan Train’ presentation Bob Lane Newton Thanks to the Newton Public Library for hosting Pippa White, storyteller, and her production of “The Story of the Orphan Train.”

The presentation was outstanding. Through the smallest change of costume and the snap of a finger, Ms. White made orphans who remember the experience come to life and share a forgotten part of history.

I hope the library will have Ms. White back again.

your behalf.

Can Dan Kelley honestly say he was an integral part of each and every one of the bill signing ceremonies he’ll be trying to claim credit for? You and I both know better. Can we all be bought with a staged photograph to shift away from his continued lack of performance? If so, the Capitol Reception Room is going to need an expansion since 150 other legislators will start showing up for every bill signing to take some sort of false credit.

Can we please elect somebody else to represent us? When the capitol complex employees are talking about how absolutely bizarre and freakish this display of impropriety was, you know there’s a problem. After all, they’ve seen it all ... until Rep. Kelley.

A woman will be on the new $10 bill, bumping Alexander Hamilton aside.

Tr e a s u r y S e c retary J a c k L e w s a y s he will choose t h e By John Stossel woman by year’s end, based on “input from the public.”

In one survey of the “public,” the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller, placed fourth.

I understand the wish to counter sexism prevalent in early America, but “Mankiller?” The name alone probably reveals something about the attitude of some of those voters.

Fortunately, more voted for Harriet Tubman. Tubman escaped slavery to become a leader of the Underground Railroad, then repeatedly returned to slave territory to help others escape. Tubman would be a good choice.

What’s more libertarian than helping people escape slavery and resist being governed without their consent?

But I feel bad about Alexander Hamilton.

He was courageous in the American Revolution, co-wrote the Federalist Papers that defended the new Constitution and helped put the new republic on a sound financial footing when it was deep in debt. He was a poor immigrant with an absent father who rose to advise George Washington and become one of the most important men in the nation.

Hamilton was also decent and fair-minded enough to singlehandedly stop a mob when it threatened to harm an unarmed Tory. In his spare time, he founded the newspaper New York Post, now headquartered a few floors below my office.

Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow, who opposes demoting Hamilton, argues that “Ham-

ilton was undeniably the most influential person in our history who never attained the presidency.”

Before the talk of replacing Hamilton, the movement to put a woman on U.S. currency targeted the $20 bill.

That would be a better choice. Andrew Jackson was a violent man who ignored a Supreme Court ruling and killed thousands of Indians by forcing them off their land. But the government says it’s not ready to replace the $20 bill.

Jackson opposed central banking, founded in the U.S. by Hamilton.

So maybe there’s poetic justice in Hamilton getting pushed aside by the central currency-printing bureaucracy he helped create.

But none of us would have to fight about whom to put on currency if it weren’t all created and printed by a central government. Bitcoin is private currency that comes in many forms.

People who prefer dogs as the symbol of their money can even use the digital currency Dogecoin.

Private currencies aren’t just a 21st-century novelty. Numerous banks used to print their own competing currencies. Contrary to the claims of John Kenneth Galbraith and other left-wing economists, private competition tended to prevent runaway inflation and deep depressions.

Economist Thomas Hogan writes, “There were 1,600 private corporations issuing banknotes and an estimated 8,370 varieties of notes” in the 19th century, while the U.S. economy “grew at an average rate of 4.4 percent per year [and] the price level remained roughly constant.”

The central bank known as the Federal Reserve was supposed to provide greater stability, but it didn’t. Just 16 years after the U.S. created the Fed, the Great Depression began. And since then, the U.S. dollar lost 96 percent of its value.

DNR offers tips to prevent drowning Each year, drownings affect a wide swath of outdoor users, from people swimming in lakes and rivers, standing on docks and wading in rivers to warm-weather anglers, ice anglers and boaters. As hotter summers push more Iowans toward water, drownings can increase.

Luckily, many of these deaths are preventable.

The main causes of drowning are: lack of swimming ability, alcohol use, failure to wear life jackets, lack of barriers to unsupervised swimming areas, lack of close supervision while swimming, location and seizure disorders. Heed these statistics and top tips to stay water-safe. Some are common sense, but others require skills or action to avoid tragedy.

Roughly one-third of Americans lack adequate swimming skills. Swimming is a life-saving, life-long skill worth knowing.

Wear properly sized, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets regardless of the distance traveled, boat size or swimming ability.

In 2007, 29 percent of boating deaths nationwide occurred on boats that were anchored, docked, moored or drifting.

A responsible adult needs to constantly watch young children when swimming or playing near water as drowning occurs quickly and quietly. Be close enough to touch the child at all times. A submerged person is often difficult to find due to Iowa’s low-visibility water.

Iowa rivers and lakes can have sudden dropoffs, holes, submerged shelves, foot holds and rock ledges. Exercise caution near all waters. Current strength is often deceiving even for strong swimmers.

Greet fussy daughter-in-law with open arms and minds DEAR ABBY: My son is being deployed for 10 months. His wife and baby are coming to live with me, and I am thrilled.

My concern is that his wife is a picky eater and she doesn’t do much around the house. Would it be too much to ask her to help with the chores while my husband and I are at work? How do I handle the mealtime dilemma? (She doesn’t cook.)

I don’t want her to feel like she’s our live-in maid or that we’re mean about the meals we prepare. We want to be the best in-laws we can be. Help? — MEANING WELL IN THE EAST DEAR MEANING WELL: After your daughter-in-law arrives, schedule a family meeting during which everyone’s household responsibilities will be discussed. If necessary, create a chart to keep track of them. If there are things she is able to do, assign them to her. If she’s clueless, then teach her. Do not overload her, and make sure she understands that you and your husband also have chores you will be doing.

Because she’s a picky eater, ask her to list what items she wants in the house so they are available. If she’s interested, offer to show her how to prepare some of the dishes your son has always enjoyed because it would be a nice surprise for him once he returns. And arrange regular monthly meetings, so that if adjustments need to be made, they can be done without hurt feelings or misunderstandings.

You are all adults. If you want this to work and are all willing to communicate and listen, you should be able to accomplish your goal without your daughter-in-law feeling like the maid.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter and her husband are taking their three boys to Europe for five weeks. The 13-yearold has been acting out. He has been rude to his school bus driver, disrespectful to his mother, was the “class

clown,” and shows all the signs of an uncomfortable pubescent boy without a safety net to catch him.

We are two states apart, so it would be difficult to lend a hand. My grandsons are very close to me, and there are lots of tears when they leave Grandma.

I taught inner-city school for 20 years and have often told my daughter how important consistency is. This precious boy is pleading for attention the wrong way. The other two boys, ages 9 and 12, are not problematic kids.

My fear is that the 13-year-old is not ready or mature enough to handle five weeks in Europe, and not disciplined enough to keep his cool. He is capable of a caper that may lead to his disappearance.

Am I crazy to be this concerned? I have told my daughter my thoughts, but she is the mother, so I am treading lightly. — WORRYING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WORRYING: Are you “crazy”? No. You are a loving, caring grandmother who is worried about her grandson. But regardless of how well-meaning you are, this isn’t your decision to make. If you have shared your thoughts with your daughter, you have done as much as you can. Now cross your fingers and wish them bon voyage.

CENTRAL CITY — The ongoing bird flu outbreak has forced competitors at the Linn County Fair and other poultry events in the state to prepare educational displays and leave their birds at home.

But the 79 participants in this weekend’s Linn County competition got to meet Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey.

Northey visited the fair Saturday to speak about poultry health and the bird flu.

WATERLOO — Planning has begun for a new marina on the Cedar Valley TechWorks Campus in Waterloo. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the project, which is estimated to cost $2.7 million, is meant to enhance boating and water recreation on the Cedar River downtown. The project is part of an Iowa Reinvestment District application approved for TechWorks by the Iowa Economic Development Authority.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Authorities say a Marshalltown man jailed on federal drug charges had hidden methamphetamine inside his prosthetic leg.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that 40-year-old Jason Gauthier will remain in jail until his trial on a charge of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Authorities say the charge stems from his arrest on June 17, when officers found the meth in his artificial leg. One of Gauthier’s legs was amputated above the knee following a 1994 car accident.

URBANDALE — A suburban Des Moines home complete with its own drawbridge and dance floor drew a price over $1 million at a weekend auction. The Des Moines Register reports the 9,000-squarefoot home in Urbandale was sold Saturday to a local doctor. The final price of the home won’t be disclosed until the deal closes, but David Enriquez with Platinum Luxury Auctions says the seller had a reserve price of $1 million. The four-bedroom home that sits on 3.6 acres has a six-car garage and room for 24 in the dining room.

Iowa Board of Regents to part ways with top legal counsel

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press IOWA CITY — The governing board for Iowa’s three public universities is cutting ties with the man who has served as its top lawyer for over a decade, as part of several ongoing personnel changes.

Thomas Evans, Jr., the general counsel for the Iowa Board of Regents since March 2004, will soon no longer be employed there and his legal duties have already been transferred to others, according to a June 16 memo

obtained by The Associated Press.

Evans, the board’s second-highest paid employee with a $155,500 annual salary, has been the board’s chief negotiator for labor union contracts and advised the regents and schools they govern on numerous legal and human resources matters.

News of his departure has surprised some colleagues but no official explanation has been given. The move comes amid other changes at the board’s Urbandale office, where three long-time staff

members — but not Evans — recently took advantage of an early retirement program aimed at cutting costs.

Josh Lehman, who started this month in a newly created job as the board’s senior communications director, had initially refused to confirm that Evans was departing, saying he could not comment on a confidential personnel matter. But in response to an AP open records request, he released a memo sent on behalf of board executive director Bob Donley that informed top university officials around

the state that Evans “will be leaving his position with the Board in the near future.”

“During this transition period all legal, human resources or other matters that might fall within the scope of Regent General Counsel responsibility should be directed to” Donley or two board lawyers who worked under Evans, the memo said.

Lehman declined to say when Evans’ last day would be, or the reason behind the move. He said there was no severance agreement.

F​ amily members urge reforms after son’s jail suicide The Associated Press DES MOINES — An Iowa family that lost a son to suicide in jail earlier this year is pushing for changes in the way people with mental illnesses are treated by authorities.

Jim Cornick tells the Des Moines Register that sick people shouldn’t be sent to jail when they clearly need treatment. Since his son’s death on his 46th birthday in January, Cornick has been meeting with officials and urging improvements to the system.

Family members say the events that led to Jeff Cornick’s suicide began in 2011 when he was arrested on suspicion of arson after threatening to set fire to gas cans in his Des Moines home.

Jim Cornick doesn’t make excuses for his son but he believes the system can be improved to better help people with mental illnesses.

“I feel like maybe I can make a difference, move the needle a little bit, raise some awareness,” he said.

Jim Cornick said families should be able to tell mental health professionals what they observe in their ill relatives, and it should be easier to commit patients for more

than a few days of treatment.

Cornick also said jail staff should get more training in handling people with mental illnesses. And when a judge has ordered someone into treatment, officers should know about the order so they can take that person to a hospital.

Authorities have said they are open to making improvements, but they also defend the way Jeff Cornick’s case was handled.

“We don’t feel like we did anything wrong, but damn it, we feel responsible,” said Polk County Sheriff William McCarthy, who attended Cornick’s funeral with his jail administrator.

A judge unsealed Jeff Cornick’s records at the Des Moines Register’s request. Cornick spent four months in jail after his 2011 arson arrest before receiving a deferred judgment and being placed on probation. He was jailed in Janu-

ary after missing a required addiction treatment meeting.

Jail officials said none of Jeff Cornick’s actions on the day he was arrested suggested he was suicidal, so he didn’t receive special treatment and wasn’t monitored continuously.

McCarthy said he appreciates Jim Cornick’s pragmatic approach to seeking improvements.

“We bleed for that guy, and I can’t even imagine what he has had to go through,” McCarthy said. “If he can figure a way to improve the system, we are open-minded in every way, shape or form.”

When Jeff Cornick was arrested in 2011, a civil commitment order was in place but officers didn’t know about it. Police spokesman Jason Halifax said officers might have taken Cornick to a hospital that night if they had known, but he still would have been likely to face charges because of his actions.

Rastetter didn’t return calls seeking comment.

Regent Larry McKibben, a Marshalltown attorney who has been overseeing a review aimed at finding efficiencies and cutting costs at the universities, said he had no information about Evans’ departure but that it wasn’t related to his review. He said he had been satisfied with Evans’ legal work during his two years on the board.

Reached by phone at his home, Evans declined comment and didn’t respond to an email.

Cedar Falls voters will decide on $35M school bond issue CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Cedar Falls residents will decide Tuesday whether to back a $35 million bond issue that would help increase elementary school capacity.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the district wants to expand Orchard Hill and North Cedar elementary schools while also building a seventh elementary school.

If it is approved, the bond issue would add $1.38 of taxes per every $1,000 of taxable value over the next 20 years.

For a $150,000 home, that would add $112.61 to the annual tax bill.

The district is working to balance the need for more space against residents’ concerns about their tax bills.

“They need to do something here, for sure,” said Mark Newton, who lives across the street from Orchard Hill Elementary. But, he added, “I don’t want

However, taking probiotics may also help. On average, probiotics helped improve gut transit time by 12.4 hours, increased the number of bowel movements by 1.3 per week and helped soften stools, according to a study that pooled data from 14 clinical trials. The probiotics that contained the strain Bifidobacterium lactis appeared to be the most effective. Other studies have also shown that probiotics may help relieve diarrhea caused by infection or antibiotics. For more information, consult your pharmacist.

Local & State News Fundraising almost complete for Cedar Falls beach house

8A |

By Pat Kinney Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier CEDAR FALLS — It’s built like a brick ... beach house. Well, actually, it’s concrete block.

Either way, it’s restoring a nostalgic part of the quality of life in Cedar Falls current and future generations will be able to enjoy for years to come.

The new Island Park Beach House is 90 percent complete, and 80 percent of the funds have been raised to cover its cost, city officials and supporters say.

Now, boosters want to make a final push to complete that fundraising, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.

Most recently, the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa granted the project $15,000, said foundation executive director Kaye Englin and Cedar Falls businessman Dave Krejchi, involved with beach house fundraising.

Boosters are within about $130,000 of completing fundraising

for the $650,000 reconstruction, said Krejchi and Mark Ripplinger, director of municipal operations and programs with the city of Cedar Falls.

The old beach house, home to many community and family milestone events since the early 1920s, was heavily damaged in the flood of 2008 and had to be demolished. Plans to rebuild the structure solidified over the past 18 months as all the necessary regulatory approvals were obtained.

“It’s an icon in the community,” Krejchi said. “Myself and a bunch of other people have really pushed to get it rebuilt. It’s finally happening. It’s looking great.”

He’s a former commodore of the North Shore Boat Club, a longtime beach house user.

Prior to the flood, the facility for decades hosted the annual Firemen’s Ball in conjunction with the city’s Sturgis Falls Celebration. Krejchi said people who attend the

Alliant Energy plans to stop using coal by 2021 BURLINGTON (AP) — Alliant Energy has announced its intention to stop using coal as its energy source in Burlington by 2021.

The Burlington Hawk Eye reports that Alliant and Burlington city officials met Friday to make the announcement.

Alliant spokesman Justin Foss says the move is a step toward improving the environ-

ment.

The Alliant Energy Burlington Generating Station is located on the south part of town.

Foss had no figures on how much coal is burned there now. He says the company’s plan is to replace coal with natural gas.

Foss also says rates will not be affected by the change, and customers “won’t see any impact.”

40th annual celebration will notice progress on the building. Dan Levi is the project architect, and Cardinal Construction Co. of Waterloo is the general contractor.

It’s possible the facility could be complete by fall, and it should be ready to be rented out in 2016 if not sooner, Ripplinger said.

“It’s been an uphill battle,” he said. “A lot of it had to do with making sure we had the right building built back in that location. It required a number of approvals.

When it’s done, there’s going to be a lot of happy people.”

He noted people regularly inquire about the building’s construction progress and whether the city is taking reservations yet. It’s possible the facility may be available for some events this fall.

“We will certainly let the public know” when it’s ready for occupancy, Ripplinger said.

funds through the city.

It also received $150,000 from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association, the nonprofit entity that allocates a portion of Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo profits for community projects.

About $120,000 in private funds have been raised by Krejchi and others through activities such as the sale of commemorative bricks to be located at the beach house entrance facing its Island Park parking lot.

That total includes the Community Foundation grant.

“We are thrilled to

support the efforts to rebuild the Beach House,” Englin said. “Our committee was pleased to see so much collaboration and philanthropic partnerships embedded in this project so far.”

“We had to make sure we were able to complete the structure without any outside bonding or tax dollars, on the request of the City Council,” Ripplinger said.

He said once it’s officially open for occupancy, the city will rent the facility for $200 a day Fridays through Sundays and holidays, and $125 Mondays through

Thursdays, generally from May through October.

Asked if the facility could generate revenue for the city, Ripplinger said, “Certainly, if we achieve the rentals we had in the past, it will offset some of the costs” of operation.

Krejchi hopes the Community Foundation grant will provide momentum toward completing fundraising for the facility. Donations may be made, and project and brick sale information obtained, online at www.islandparkbeachhouse.org

Iowa doctor fined, banned from treating chronic pain The Associated Press DES MOINES — Iowa regulators have fined a Chariton doctor $3,000 and banned him from treating patients with chronic pain following allegations that he over-prescribed painkillers.

The allegations stem from Dr. David Marcowitz’s former practice in Moline, Illinois, The Des Moines Register reported.

Marcowitz has also practiced in Chariton in south-central Iowa since 2012.

Iowa Board of Medicine documents released Friday say Marcowitz failed to report that that he surrendered his Illinois license in 2013 after officials there found that he overprescribed addictive painkillers and sedatives

to a patient without assessing the man for signs of drug abuse.

Illinois authorities alleged that the patient was injecting himself and his pregnant girlfriend with the medications, and was selling them to other drug abusers, three of whom died.

Marcowitz was also accused of loosely providing a prescription weight-loss drug to office staff members, seeing 40 to 55 patients — most seeking pain medication — a day, and keeping addictive medication in an unsecured cabinet.

His lawyer, David Brown of Des Moines, said Friday that the Iowa board’s punishment is unfair and that the doctor might appeal the ruling in district court.

Marcowitz testified last

month before the board that disgruntled former employees made false allegations about him and that his staff in Chariton filled out his 2014 application for renewal of his Iowa drug-prescribing permit, incorrectly marking “no” answer to a question about whether he’d faced discipline in other states.

The Iowa board said it didn’t find Marcowitz’s defense credible.

“The board noted that respondent’s lack of candor and past behavior raise serious concerns about the protection of the public in Iowa,” the order said.

Besides the fine, Marcowitz also was ordered to serve five years’ probation and have his work monitored by another doctor.

Manchester brewery draws attention outside the taproom

By Audrey Ingram Telegraph Herald MANCHESTER — More than two dozen styles of beer have flowed through the tap handles of Franklin Street Brewing Co. in downtown Manchester since brothers Chad and Kyle Sands opened the doors of the production brewery in April 2014.

Recently, their beers became available outside their own taproom for the first time, when they sold kegs of their Nice Shoes and Burrington Brown ales last month

to Cellar Peanut Pub in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Beer lovers could see bottles of their favorite Franklin Street beers on the shelves of local retailers within the next five years, Chad Sands predicts — if the brewers raise the remaining funding to expand beyond the nine-serving tank system they operate in the renovated Masonic Temple building, the Telegraph Herald reported.

The brothers began homebrewing more than a decade ago when Kyle bought a kit for Christmas, Chad said.

After outgrowing their kitchen and their garage, they purchased the about 3,500-square-foot facility, then occupied by a hardware store, in November 2012.

The building was stripped of its old carpeting and dropped ceilings.

The brewery features hardwood floors, brick walls, exposed rafters and large paddle fans. Glasses lining the light-colored wooden bar reflect the light from black metal fixtures and frosted globes. Tucked into one corner of the taproom sits a cluster of brown leather couches.

The 1874 building is the oldest in Iowa that houses a production brewery, Chad Sands said. The City of Man-

chester provided early support through about $25,000 in building and design grants.

“We could tell there was something special hiding,” Sands said. “We really wanted to bring it back to its original splendor.”

Colored chalk highlights the current tap lineup: Sully’s lite, a popular Busch Light-esque brew featuring a low 3.4-percent alcohol content; River Runner, a German-style hefeweizen; Fuzzy Side Down, an IPA; Manchester Red, a hoppy red ale and taproom staple; Go USA, a Vienna-style lager; and Devil’s Nitro, a stout carbonated with nitrogen instead of carbon dioxide for a creamier finish.

Rasmusson leads No. 6 Hawks to 2-0 at Bobcat Classic

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Madison Rasmusson got the inside pitch she likes, and her towering home run in the third inning against Lisbon cracked the scoreboard and was more than enough to get the Class 1A No. 6 Lynnville-Sully softball team off to a strong start at the Marshalltown Bobcat Softball Classic on Saturday.

Rasmusson earned two wins in the circle on the day as the Hawks shut out the Lions, 6-0, and blasted Class 3A defending state runner-up Bondurant-Farrar, 11-1, in six innings in their other tournament game.

But it was Rasmusson’s third homer of the season in the opening game that set the tone for the rest of the day. She also homered against the Lady Jays as the Hawks pounded out 13 hits in the triumph.

The Hawks are now 24-3

overall and are now winners of 17 of their last 18 games.

Rasmusson reached third base in the first inning but was stranded. Her younger sister Maria Rasmusson singled and went as far as second in the second inning, but she also was stranded on the bases.

That’s when the elder Rasmusson took things into her own hands. Lizzi VanManen reached on an error and stole second in the third. She was on base to watch Madison Rasmusson’s no-doubter to right field.

“It felt good. It felt like a good pitch to hit. It was inside, right in the perfect spot for me. I like it there,” the Hawk senior said.

The Hawks were retired in order in the fourth and fifth innings, but put the game away for good in the sixth with four runs.

Raider softball scores two shutout wins in Collins Days tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team was missing a few starters from its lineup during its annual Collins Days Tournament.

Thankfully, Abbey Kahler was still standing in the circle.

The sophomore

pitcher kept Colo-NESCO and Montezuma off the scoreboard and her two shutouts gave the Raiders the tournament championship on Saturday.

Newton splits two games in Pella

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — The Newton softball team had a chance to get its overall record to .500 this weekend, but a 1-1 finish at the Pella Christian Invitational kept the Cardinals a few games under Saturday.

The Cardinals fell short against Class 3A Albia in the opener, losing 2-1, before blast-

ing 1A Belle Plaine, 10-0, in six innings.

Newton is 4-4 in its last eight games and will take a 1214 record into this week’s Little Hawkeye Conference action.

In the opener, Albia (11-19) plated an early run in the first and then won the game with a second run in the sixth. Newton’s run came in the fourth and was scored Mackenzie Johnson.

Taylor Ryan drove in Johnson

for the Newton’s only run. Ryan was 1-for-3 with a double, RBI and a stolen base.

Karley Leiker had two hits to lead the offense, while Bailey Davis, Sydney Jenkins and Peyton Maher all had one hit, too.

Jenkins also walked.

Ryan took the loss in the circle. She allowed four hits and no earned runs in five innings.

MARSHALLTOWN — The Colfax-Mingo softball team edged a very solid program in Bondurant-Farrar during the second day of the Marshalltown Bobcat Softball Classic on Saturday.

But Tigerhawk coach Bryan Poulter couldn’t get over the two narrow losses that he felt should have been wins.

Colfax-Mingo held two different leads against Class 5A Marshalltown on Friday but lost in extra innings and then was held to just five hits and stranded five runners on base during a 2-1 loss to 4A Marion on Saturday.

“I can’t get past the fact that we should have been 3-1 instead of 1-3,” Poulter said. “We won one game and lost three games. We had the opportunity to win three and didn’t finish things and take care of business with our bats.”

The Tigerhawks (6-20) began the tournament with a Friday afternoon loss to Marshalltown.

Playing in rainy conditions throughout much of the game, C-M let leads of 2-1 and 4-2 slip away as the Bobcats rallied for a 6-5 win in nine innings.

Class 2A No. 8 BCLUW handed the Tigerhawks a 10-1 loss in Friday’s nightcap.

Before that, junior Payge Jurgens hit a sacrifice fly that scored MacKenzie Schmitz.

Schmitz began the scoring rally with a walk, then Katie Camp reached on a bunt single and Abbey Kahler loaded the bases with a single.

The Raiders made it 4-0 in the third when Kahler led off the inning with a double and her courtesy runner, Jordan Wesselink went to third on a Jurgens single and then scored on an Abbey Appelgate RBI hit.

Hawk baseball wins third straight conference game

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News THORNBURG — Both starting pitchers in the Lynnville-Sully/Tri-County baseball game allowed five hits, walked two and struck out 11 on Friday night.

The difference was the number of runs that were allowed and Lynnville-Sully’s Jake Brand was two better than Brand Jake Brumbaugh during a South Iowa Cedar League game.

They are now 3-10 in Heart of Balke Iowa Conference play.

Iowa State expanding Jack Trice to 61,000 AMES (AP) — One of the many reasons cited for Iowa State’s lack of success in football was a stadium experience that often fell flat.

That shouldn’t be much of an excuse much longer.

The Cyclones are in the final stages of a major renovation to the stadium’s south end zone, part of a $60 million expansion of Jack Trice Stadium that is set to be completed in late August.

It’s arguably the most ambitious renovation at the 40-year-old stadium, which will soon be the third-largest in the Big 12 with a capacity of 61,000. Iowa State opens its season Sept. 5 when it hosts Northern Iowa in front of what should be the biggest crowd in school history “The south end zone project is something that’s been discussed for 25 years,” athletic director Chris Jorgensen said. “So to finally see where we’re less than 100 days away from seeing it in action, everybody is really excited about that.”

The stadium’s original design offered 1970s-style functionality.

Adjoining double-decked grandstands were surrounded by a sea of parking lots perfectly positioned for tailgating.

But the place has always lacked an aesthetic charm so common with other college football stadiums.

The Cyclones are hoping

this project will fix that.

The centerpiece of the new end zone will be a two-story club space, replacing a set of metal bleachers put in nearly 15 years ago.

The facility will feature a glass-encased upper level with views of the field and multiple bars, accessible only to the 3,000 fans that purchase club seats.

I o w a State is hoping the club’s facade will be a much cleaner look for both fans and the general public, since the road that borders the stadium serves as a de facto entrance for many heading to campus as well.

Once the end zone renovation is completed, Iowa State will remodel the parking lots behind it to further enhance the look of the stadium. Plans for that project have yet to be finalized.

The Cyclones also are putting in a new video board behind the south end zone, connecting the east and west grandstands with a new concourse and installing permanent seating on each side.

Iowa State also is installing new ribbon boards in each grandstand.

The end zone project will effectively close the south side of the stadium, which should help lock in some of the noise that has routinely drifted out of the stadium.

The north end zone, which houses Iowa State’s main athletic building, will remain largely open.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Mikayla Eslinger went 2-for-3 against Colo-NESCO in the opening round of the Collins Days Tournament on Saturday. She reached on a bunt single on this play and then later drove in two with a two-run single. The Raiders won the tournament after shutout wins over the Royals and Montezuma.

Raiders: Collect Collins Days Tournament title Continued from Page 1B shut down Montezuma, 3-0, in the finals to once again push the Raiders’ overall record to one game over .500.

“It was a good day with two shutouts and winning our home tourney,” CMB coach Troy Houge said.

In the championship game, Kahler allowed four hits and struck out six in the circle and blasted a two-run homer run at the plate in the first inning to give CMB (14-13) an early advantage.

“It was a good thing she homered because we only had three hits in the game,” Houge said.

The Raiders had no trouble with Colo-NESCO (9-14) in the opener as they pounded out 12 hits and scored at least one run in all five innings.

Katie Camp led the way with three hits and two runs, while Kahler, Payge Jurgens, MacKenzie Schmitz and Mikayla Eslinger all had a pair of hits in the win.

Schmitz and Camp led off the bottom of the first with

back-to-back singles and then Kahler made it 1-0 with an RBI double. Abbey Appelgate brought in Camp two batters later with an RBI groundout.

The lead grew to 4-0 in the second inning when Harlie Durr drove in Hannah Caple with a groundout and the Schmitz collected an RBI single that scored Avery Hlavacek.

The Raiders stranded the bases loaded in the third but not before a Royal error helped CMB take a 5-0 lead. Caple forced the error by putting the ball in play and Jurgens, who walked, came around to score.

Eslinger’s second hit of the day drove in two in the fourth.

The sophomore’s gapper to left-center field made it 7-0 and a third run crossed homeplate when the Royals committed another error.

Kahler’s second RBI of the game came in the fifth when she brought home Camp with a double. Kahler’s courtesy runner, Jordynn Wesselink, scored the walk-off, game-ending run when Jurgens came through with an

RBI single.

The Raiders only had three hits against Montezuma (1312). Camp and Appelgate had the other hits and Schmitz, Camp and Kahler scored the three runs. Schmitz also stole a base.

Kahler’s two wins in the circle included zero walks in 12 innings. She improved to 12-10 on the season with an earned run average of 1.75.

She has 134 strikeouts and just 24 walks in her 22 starts.

Montezuma defeated CAL, 12-0, to reach the championship game. Colo-NESCO ousted CAL, 11-1, in the third-place game.

The Raiders host Colfax-Mingo at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Collins and host Prairie City-Monroe at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday.

Notebook CMB was without starters Megan Ritter and Veronica Condon, who missed last week because of a missions trip.

Kyle Busch grabs first win of season at Sonoma Raceway SONOMA, Calif.

(AP) — After two practice sessions at Sonoma Raceway, Kyle Busch spent an evening icing his surgically repaired left foot.

He repeated the routine the night before Sunday’s race, all in an effort to minimize pain and give himself the best chance to pick up a much-needed victory.

Just five races after returning from a broken right leg and shattered left foot, Busch made his way to victory lane to continue what already has been an impressive comeback. He chased down Jimmie Johnson to win Sunday at Sonoma Raceway for his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win in 35 races.

The next goal for Busch? Cracking the top 30 in points to earn a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“Now I don’t have to bust my butt and overdrive the car every week

in order to get wins,” Busch said. “Now I can just concentrate on running top-three, top-five, top-eight — just getting those finishes and points.

“If we can do that, the points have got to come and fall on the line.”

Kurt Busch finished second as the brothers notched their first 1-2 finish in Sprint Cup. Clint Bowyer finished third and said once Kyle Busch got past him on the restart, his shot at the win was over. He still notched the first top-five of the season for Michael Waltrip Racing.

Kevin Harvick was fourth and followed by Joey Logano and finally Johnson, who dominated the race but faded to sixth.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was seventh followed by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne, while Ryan Newman and Sam Hornish Jr. rounded out the top 10.

Rahal survives pack racing at Fontana for second career win FONTANA, Calif.

(AP) — Graham Rahal held onto the lead out of a caution with three laps left to earn his second IndyCar win, closing out a wild, record-setting day at Auto Club Speedway on Saturday.

A sparse crowd showed up to Auto Club Speedway, but the few fans got to see quite a show as cars sling-shotted past each other at an average of 205 mph and raced up to five-wide around the 2-mile oval.

The 500-mile race eclipsed the season high for lap changes — 37 at Indianapolis — by the midpoint and had 83 overall, topping the In-

dyCar record of 73 set at Auto Club Speedway in 2001.

Rahal went in front late and stayed there after a late red flag, winning under caution after Ryan Briscoe went airborne in a collision with Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Rahal’s first victory was at St. Petersburg in 2008.

Tony Kanaan finished second, Marco Andretti was third and series points leader Juan Pablo Montoya fourth.

Castroneves, who entered the race fourth in points, led the most laps (43), but did not return to the track after crashing on lap 136.

Tigerhawks: Can’t get bats going in Marshalltown Continued from Page 1B The 2-1 win over Bondurant-Farrar, which won the 3A title in 2013 and finished second last year, came in Saturday’s morning opener and the 2-1 loss to Marion finished the tournament.

“The Bondurant-Farrar win was a good one,” Poulter said.

“But we have to understand how close we are to becoming a good team. We need to know what it takes to close the gap. I guess we’re closer, but we don’t get any awards for being closer.”

The Tigerhawks had two more hits and committed three less errors than the host Bobcats but stranded 11 runners on base.

Ries Wilson gave Colfax-Mingo a 2-1 lead following her fourth homer of the season in the third inning. Marshalltown evened the score at 2-all in the bottom of the third, but the Tigerhawks went back in front with single runs in the fourth and fifth.

Both runs were scored off Bobcat miscues as Marshalltown had four errors in the win.

The Tigerhawks had a chance to extend the lead in the sixth but they left the bases loaded.

That opened the door slightly for Marshalltown, which came into the tournament with just one win, and the Bobcats took advantage. Leiah Paustian came through with the bases loaded, driving in the tying runs with a base hit. Wilson got out of the jam though, leaving three Bobcats on the bases.

Both teams stranded a runner on third in the eighth. Colfax-Mingo got an RBI single from Amy Russell in the ninth to give the Tigerhawks a brief 5-4 lead, but Tabby Steffensen and Haley Vajgrt both delivered RBI hits to help MHS (3-19) win in walk-off fashion.

Wilson and Russell each had three hits. Wilson drove in two, scored twice and took the loss in the circle, allowing three earned runs in nine innings.

The Tigerhawks were held to just three hits against BCLUW’s Samantha Ubben in Friday’s finale.

BCLUW 6-1 after four and then plated four in the sixth to win 10-1. The Comets had 12 hits in the win. The top two hitters in the lineup — Mallory Vawter and Becca Steckelburg — combined for six hits, eight runs and four stolen bases. Ubben fanned nine in the win and the run was unearned.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo sophomore Alivia Haley, right, snatches a pop fly between third base and pitcher Colbee Cunningham during the Tigerhawks’ 2-1 loss to Marion on Saturday in Marshalltown. The Tigerhawks went 1-3 on the weekend.

Wilson had two of the Tigerhawks’ three hits and she scored the run in the first inning.

Alivia Haley had the other hit and Russell walked twice.

The Tigerhawks were plagued by three errors. Eighth-grader Colbee Cunningham took the loss, allowing six earned runs and striking out six.

Against Bondurant-Farrar, the Tigerhawks had nine hits but stranded 12 runners on base.

Rhiannon Haley had three hits and drove in one, while Wilson and Alivia Haley scored the two runs. Russell and Erin Earles each had one hit and one walk.

Wilson earned the win in the circle and allowed six hits and one unearned run that came in the seventh inning.

Marion (15-11) took a 1-0 lead in the third when Madison Wilson led off with a double and scored on a Maddie Knapp twoout RBI single against Cunningham.

The Tigerhawks tied the scored in the sixth with an unearned run as Earles hit an RBI double to the gap in right-center field.

Colfax-Mingo missed an opportunity to pile on more runs though as it had a runner picked off second and thrown out at home.

Brooke Nicholson singled and Cunningham doubled in the frame but the Tigerhawks only scored one run despite the backto-back-to-back hits.

“We made too many of our

Hawks

Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com Troy Hyde/ Daily News Lynnville-Sully sophomore Lizzi VanManen, right, tags out Lisbon base runner Cassidy Moore during the Hawks’ 6-0 win at the Marshalltown Bobcat Softball Classic on Saturday.

Lynnville-Sully went 2-0 on the day and is now 24-3 overall.

Continued from Page 1B Lanser — all reached base and scored.

Lanser, Maria Rasmusson and Haley James each collected an RBI. Madison Rasmusson and VanManen both scored twice in the game.

“I am never comfortable at any point in time. I don’t want us sitting back on our heels at any point just because we have a lead,” Lynnville-Sully coach Stacey Alberts said when asked if she felt comfortable with a 2-0 lead.

“We were able to take a breath and relax after those four late runs. That’s big on a day like today when you are playing multiple quality teams in one day. We don’t see these teams very often so when you can walk away with a win it’s a good day.”

Madison Rasmusson earned the win in the circle after surrendering just four hits with four strikeouts. She lowered her season earned run average to 1.30 and she now 115 strikeouts and 17 walks on the year.

Lisbon stranded runners on second and third in the second and another base runner got to third with just one out in the fourth but failed to score.

“We are a very good small ball defending team. And when they got runners on base in this game, they usually gave us outs,” Alberts said.

“It’s hard to get small ball by us. We kept the ball in the infield and Madison did a good job of keeping them off balance and getting critical outs when she needed them.”

Rasmusson’s goal is to strike every batter out. But when she can’t, she knows her defense behind her is capable of making plays to help her get out of jams.

own outs in this game and we didn’t put enough pressure on their defense,” Poulter said. “And the top of our order didn’t really produce like the top of the order should.”

Marion scored the winning run in the bottom of the sixth and Alicia Steepleton retired the Tigerhawks in order in the seventh to earn the win in relief.

Colfax-Mingo had just five hits in the loss. Cunningham gave up six hits, struck out two and took the loss in the circle.

The Tigerhawks stranded runners at second and third in the first and at first and second in the third. All five hits came in the first and sixth innings and C-M went down in order in three of the final four innings.

“We had opportunities, but we made mistakes, which prevented us from winning those other two games,” Poulter said.

“It’s a higher level game, and it appears we are not making the transition as quickly as I would like. If they make the transition this weekend, we are 3-1 instead of 1-3.”

Colfax-Mingo tries to get back on the winning track at 7:30 p.m. Monday when it travels to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter for a Heart of Iowa Conference matchup with the Raiders, who have won three in a row and six of their last eight.

“I definitely trust my teammates behind me. I try to strike them out anyway so that’s the first thing I try to do, but I trust that my defense behind will make plays, too,” Rasmusson said.

“We usually can hold runners at third if we execute.”

The Hawks broke open a scoreless game against Bondurant-Farrar with four runs in the third inning. The advantage grew to 7-0 after four innings and a four-run sixth inning put an early end to a game that featured two teams which played in the state tournament last year.

The first three batters in Lynnville-Sully’s lineup — Kasiah Ehresman, VanManen and Madison Ras-

musson — accounted for nine of the team’s 13 hits, six of the 11 runs and six RBIs. Rasmusson blasted her fourth homer of the season, had three hits total and drove in four. VanManen had three hits, two runs and two RBIs, while Ehresman improved her season batting average to .552 with three hits, three runs and two stolen bases.

Ehresman’s 40 steals are tops in Class 1A this year, while Rasmusson’s 39 are second. They only trail Cedar Rapids Kennedy’s Tianna Drahn’s 42 for tops in the entire state.

Makenzy Rozendaal had three hits — a double and a triple — and scored twice for the Hawks against the Lady

Jays.

Rasmusson improved to 24-3 in the circle with another complete-game win. She allowed six hits and one earned run, while walking two and fanning two.

Bondurant-Farrar went 2-2 on the weekend but lost both games Saturday. The Lady Jays (14-13) also were defeated 2-1 by Colfax-Mingo.

The Hawks return home Monday to face Montezuma in South Iowa Cedar League play beginning at 6 p.m.
