50 years, going strong HIRTA growing, Surveyor Craig expanding in Johnstone celebrates 50th Jasper County anniversary in chance career

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Ridership continues to grow in Jasper County for the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency.

Operations manager Brooke Ramsey gave a report on the organization, along with funding requests, to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

“Fiscal year 2016, through May, we provided 54,270 rides in Jasper County which is up from the previous year by about 2,200 rides,” Ramsey said. “We did almost 160,000 miles and more than 19,000 hours of services.”

A new informational feature the organization created last year was TAG, or Transportation Advisory Group.

T

alking with Craig Johnstone, you can’t help but smile. The love and enthusiasm he exudes when speaking about his job is infectious, even if you don’t always understand everything he’s talking about.

Johnstone is celebrating 50 years in the land surveying business. From starting as an intern who knew nothing about the field to owning his own business 35 years later, Johnstone has seen the industry change and grow more than he ever imagined.

Johnstone fell into the job that would become his career like a lot of kids do — trying it out while on break from college. He had been searching for a summer position when he received a call from then Jasper County Engineer Chuck Cabalka.

“When Chuck called and asked me if I found a summer job yet that year, I said no I am still looking and he said do you want to work on the survey crew?”

Johnstone said. “I said, ‘Chuck I don’t anything about surveying’ — he said, ‘we’ll teach ya.’ When I reminded him of that he said we must not have done a very good job because you are still learning.

I said, ‘I will until the day I die.’”

One of Johnstone’s first projects was staking out the Reasnor road also known as Highway S74 South. He and his crew would have to set a control every 50 feet in the straight part of the road and every 25 feet in the curves, both vertical and horizontal.

“In 1966, it was a four man crew. You had a person that was running the transit, the older instrument that sets on the three legged tripod and you look through to get alignment.

The group consists of participants from Impact Community Action Program, Jasper County Veterans Affair, RSVP and Optimae among others who meet to discuss the activities of HIRTA. “They help us do research on unmet needs and help find focal points for decisions that we will make in increasing services moving into the next fiscal year,” Ramsey said. “There is one in each county and as a region they meet at least once a year. All seven of the counties come together to look at bigger ideas, projects and concerns for the region as well.”

Another new partnership for HIRTA is with the Goodwill Career HIRTA | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News A summer job while on break from college turned into what became a life long career for land surveyor Craig Johnstone. Johnstone is celebrating 50 years in the business that he fell in love with all of those years ago.

You had a note keeper to keep the notes of what was going on. Then, you had two guys on a 100 foot steel tape that did the measuring,” Johnstone said. “Today, I do all of that by myself with either a Robotic Total Station (RTS) or GPS. It is amazing what has happened.”

Johnstone had intended to return to Iowa State University where he was studying electronics technology in the fall following his work with the county. It wasn’t un-

til he took an Army physical and discovered he was red/green color blind that he knew his path was definitely going to change.

Not sure what to do with himself, Johnstone stayed working with the county through the fall and winter, completing the Reasnor road project and helping survey additional roads for future paving.

Assessment test scores a complex NCSD topic State to push back third-grade pass-fail until 2017-18

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The replacement of the No Child Left Behind Act with the Every Student Succeeds Act is driving a few major changes in

assessing reading skills in Iowa schools — but so are budget limitations.

That was the basic message presented by Newton Community School District Director of K-8 Curriculum Jim

Gilbert when he spoke to the NCSD Board of Education at Monday’s meeting.

The biggest change, according to Gilbert, is the Iowa Department of Education pushing back the retention requirement — for third-graders who don’t meet proficiency standards — to the 2017-18 school year.

The Way to host Celebration Sunday

Submitted Photo The Rev. Cory Stout, along with his family, made the tough decision of leaving Community Heights Alliance Church and Newton after 10 years in the community. Stout will be moving to Lee’s Summit, Mo. to take a similar position at Lee’s Summit Community Church.

Stout leaving Community Heights Alliance Church His last service in Newton is July 17

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After 10 years in Newton, Cory Stout, senior pastor at Community Heights Alliance Church is moving on. Stout is taking a similar position at Lee’s Summit Community Church in Lee’s Summit, Mo. “In the role of being a pastor, I just sensed that God, through a number of scenarios, was speaking to us, and it was time to go, even though it was a very hard decision,” Stout said.

Stout and his family, wife Amy and children Drew, Alexis and Allie came to Newton following eight years in St. Croix Falls, Wis. where he served as a youth pastor. During his time at CHAC, Stout saw the church grow and change in more ways that one.

“From the corporate level, being a part of Community Heights to see the fruition of phase one being paid for and phase two being built and paid for,” Stout said.

“The heart beat behind that is even more important — the people. It was creating a space which would be conducive to seeing people’s lives being changed.”

“It wasn’t about having a big

building, it was about saying we want to be an active, vital part of this community to impact the community and the people of the community with the message of Jesus. We tried to create a space that would be able to do that.”

In the new space, Stout helped build a growing kids and youth ministry. He also helped touch the lives of those who may not have been active in any church before hearing about CHAC. “There are numbers of families in our church today that even 10 years ago weren’t a part of any church, weren’t connected in a relationship with God,” Stout said. “Through the people of the church they came to encounter a relationship with God and have had their lives changed, marriages stabilized, whole families have made decision to begin relationships with Jesus. That has been the most rewarding.”

The decision to leave Newton was not a easy one for Stout and his family. The church community along with the community of Newton have become home since moving here a decade ago.

“It was a super hard decision in regard to leaving. We love it here, we love the people, the community,” Stout said. “Our

kids have grown up here. They were 4, 6 and 8 when we came and now they are 14, 16 and 18, and it is home. They have been a part of the schools, YMCA, Newton athletics and overall we have had a great experience with Newton and Community Heights Alliance Church.”

Although it was a difficult decision for the Stouts, it was one they made together. For the past couple of months, the family has been praying on the decision together, asking God if it is the right move for them right now.

“We invited our kids into the process and we have been praying together and asking God to speak to us and He has, so that has been good,” Stout said.

The Stouts will miss their church community, along with the community of Newton but are excited for their next move forward.

“We’re excited to go through a journey with our children so that we together can come to see God being faithful to us as a family, even in the midst of saying to yes to something that is difficult,” Stout said.

Stout’s last Sunday at CHAC is July 17.

Israel bans access for non-Muslims to Jerusalem holy site JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police on Tuesday banned non-Muslims from a contentious Jerusalem holy site until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan following two days of clashes with Palestinians at the site.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said rocks and other objects were hurled toward police forces and Jewish worshippers in a nearby plaza. A 73-year-old woman was lightly wounded and police arrested 16 suspects in the disturbances, which have been going on for three days, Rosenfeld said.

As a result, police decided to close access to Jewish worshippers and other visitors for the remainder of the week to prevent tensions with Muslim worshippers.

Since Sunday, Palestinians had holed up in the Al-Aqsa Mosque atop the mount and attacked officers with fireworks and other objects stockpiled inside.

The mosque is part of a compound sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Muslims refer to it as the Noble Sanctuary, where they believe the Prophet Muhammad embarked on a night journey to heaven, while Jews refer to it the Temple Mount. The two biblical Jewish temples stood on the site.

Violence had erupted at the site in mid-September before spreading elsewhere. Since then Palestinians have carried out dozens of attacks, including stabbings, shootings and car ramming assaults, killing 32 Israelis and two visiting Americans. About 200 Palestinians have been killed during that time, most identified by Israel as attackers.

The unrest has led to renewed calls for peace talks, which last broke down more than two years ago.

Also Tuesday, visiting U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that while he understood Israel’s security concerns, any measures it took would not “solve the underlying causes of the cycles of violence” that have plagued the region.

“I encourage you to take the courageous steps necessary to prevent a one-state reality of perpetual conflict that is incompatible with realizing the national aspirations of Israeli and Palestinian people,” Ban said, speaking in Jerusalem alongside Netanyahu.

Netanyahu asked Ban to use his final six months in office to rectify what he called the United Nations’ unfair treatment of Israel. He singled out the U.N. Human Rights Council, which he said always condemns Israel, the “country that does more to promote and protect human rights and liberal values than any other in the blood-soaked Middle East.”

“Our progressive democracy has faced more country-specific resolutions, more country-specific condemnation at the U.N. Human Rights Council than all the other countries combined,” Netanyahu said. “And I believe that this is a profound betrayal of the United Nations’ noble mandate.”

Peace negotiations with the Palestinians have been largely at a standstill since Netanyahu took office in 2009, with the last round of U.S.-brokered talks collapsing two years ago.

Connection Center for a “Job Seek” program to assist those in community actively looking for work. Funded with grants from Theisen’s and the Iowa Department of Transportation, Job Seek will provide free transportation to up to 10 interviews and to a job up to two weeks after a position has been accepted. “(It provides) transportation after they have accepted a position to get them through to get their first paycheck. It is going to be a wonderful partnership,” Ramsey said.

Other additions and changes within the organizations include additional trips to Des Moines on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, up from previous years when only two days of transportation were available. HIRTA is also in partnership with the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau to provide a shuttle service to the Iowa Speedway on race weekend.

“At the first race this year, we did 188 rides, drove 375 miles and had the buses in service for 33 hours just for that one weekend,” Ramsey said.

Future projects for the organization include a potential customer web portal that would allow customers to go online to request their rides and pay for them in advance.

Another piece of the web portal will allow for facilities, such as the hospital or Optimae, to request rides for their customers.

The board approved $32,785 in funding for HIRTA, an amount that was included during budget discussion earlier this year.

“You’re busy, you are a growing program,” supervisor Joe Brock said.

“I figured out that I loved the math, I loved the challenge of this. I love being outside, I was a farm kid,” Johnstone said.

In March 1967, Johnstone entered the Army becoming a medic. He spent 14 months in Germany and another year in Vietnam before returning home in 1970 to a full-time position with the Jasper County Highway Department.

A few years later, Johnstone met the woman who would later become his wife, Jan. “I ended up with a wife that made me a deal that she would put me through four years of Iowa State if I would buy her a horse when I got out. There are still two horses running around our acreage today,” Johnstone said.

Upon completing school in 1979, Johnstone worked in the private sector in Iowa City and Central Iowa before opening his own firm in 2001. In that time, technology has advanced to turn the four man crew into a one man job.

“In the mid-70s with the invention of the electronic distance meter which took distance either by laser or infrared light, and we went down to two-man crews. We stayed at two-man crews until about the early 2000s when GPS started. Even then, you were still using two many crews because the RTS didn’t come into affordability until 2009 to 2012,” Johnstone said. “Now, I can go out with a RTS on my own and double the efficiency of what

we used to be able to do with the older total station when we had a two-man crew. The technology is absolutely amazing.”

Johnstone is quick to thank the men that helped get him to where he is today including Cabalka, former county licensed Land surveyor J. Glen Ponder and former highway designer Bill Ponder. He invited his former mentors to a lunch to thank for their guidance in a line of work that he loves and has made a life of.

“Learning under Glen Ponder, Glen was an excellent surveyor and I learned a ton from him. He was doing things so well ahead of getting laws passed that actually put things in code that he was already doing it,” Johnstone said.

The gentlemen enjoyed the gathering, reminiscing about years previous and joking about Johnstone as former summer help.

“You know Bill, if the rest of the summer help is as grateful as Craig is, we would be having free lunches all of the time,” Cabalka said.

Even with 50 years under his belt, Johnstone does not see and end to his career any time soon.

“As long as God will give me the brains and ability to do it, and I absolutely love it, I see no reason to retire. It is one of those things that he gave me the chance to do and the abilities and I love the math, science, law and history, it is just a neat job.”

The data from this spring’s Iowa Assessments won’t be used to sanction or reward any districts or schools. However, the data from those tests — given to students in the third through the 11th grades — is still useful is spotting patterns, Gilbert said.

For example, this fall’s Berg Middle School eighth-graders have not scored higher than 76 percent in any of the past five

years on Iowa Assessments, but in math, that class has dipped slightly before scoring 82 percent in the spring of 2016.

Newton High School’s graduating class of 2017 has had modest success in bringing up its reading scores over the past five years and has improved slightly in math. However, that class only reached 80 percent once in reading in that span, and was never higher than 73 percent proficiency in math.

grade, and it does that all across the state, too,” Gilbert said. “I don’t know if kids just kind of poo-poo the tests a little more in 11th grade, but ninth and 10thgrade years are really something.

Ninth grade is strong; 10th grade is strong.”

Gilbert said the Newton emphasis in assessments is based on three local goals: • Continue to build and maintain a core curriculum that gets 85 percent of all students to meet proficiency.

• Decrease the assessment score gap between students with learning disabilities and those without.

• Decrease the assessment score gap involving students from low socio-economic status households.

Gilbert said he feels the district is moving in the right direction. He said the district needs to think of the 80 percent as a minimum, rather than a high mark to be reached occasionally.

“We see sixth grade from dismal (proficiency percentages in the 60s) in 2012, and now we’re at 80,” Gilbert said. “We need to now think of that as a baseline, and go up from here.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Throughout the 50 years Craig Johnstone has worked as a surveyor, technology has progressed drastically. What once took a four man crew, Johnstone now does on his own.

Testing The third-grade retention rule is now set to be implemented in 2017-18, meaning that year’s Iowa third-graders will be the first ones required to reach math, science and reading assessment proficiency standards in order to advance to the fourth grade.

The other important news about this delay is the Schools in Need of Assistance and Districts in Need of Assistance — SINA and DINA — won’t affect any Iowa schools in 2016-17.

“Everything is basically on hold for one year,” Gilbert said.

“What might end up happening is these punitive designations will be replaced with more of a positive incentive. So while Thomas Jefferson (sanctioned as a SINA-1 school) won’t technically be off the list, there isn’t the letter home to parents or schoolof-choice or supplemental stuff have to be generated by us this year.”

I get burned — once a year T

he first baseball and softball games of the season bring the usual excitement. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the fans cheering or cursing plays that affect their teams.

Nearly always, I am too caught up in this excitement to remember to bring one major thing with me.

Whether covering an event for the paper or simply spectating, there’s an outdoor-sports checklist: water, a hat, weather-appropriate clothing and maybe tickets or a media pass — yet I always overlook the same item.

It only takes one outdoor experience each season to remind me what was forgotten.

The sun is a helpful ball of fire, warming our planet, giving us beautiful Iowa days and helping plants and animals thrive. But it also bakes and dries the

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks skin of fair-skinned mammals, making them regret their forays into the tempting light.

My one forgotten item always seems to be sunscreen.

For me, this summer’s experience has yet to come, and at the risk of jinxing it, I’m hoping this can be one of the first summers in recent memory when I can make it through without the same painful lesson.

When I covered high school sports for a living, it would often be during an evening or the next day it became clear how red and burned my neck and face were, prompting some predictable “true redneck” jokes.

Upon returning home, I would immediately locate my leftover supply of sunscreen from last fall and purchase a

new bottle soon thereafter.

You’d think eight years of living in Huntington Beach, Calif., and under the hot New Mexico sun for more than 12 years would forge some type of hotstove reflex, but it doesn’t. The lesson has to be repeated every spring or summer, despite repeated resolutions to remember this time.

In fact, anyone who’s ever lived at the 5,300-foot elevation of Albuquerque or higher knows how much easier it is to get sunburned there than at sea level, but low elevation, along with cloudy skies, are deceptive. Like a video-game sniper waiting for a clean shot, the sun sneaks an attack, waiting above he ceiling throughout the morning before firing its vicious, dermatologically catastrophic rays toward us fair-skinned folk.

Before the days of sunscreen and modern knowledge about skin cancer, painful punishment was simply the cost of working or playing outdoors. Now, apparently, it is usually needed for one

or two days each year to help provide sufficient recall of sunscreen and its helpful properties.

My need for sunscreen might or might not be tied to my Western European lineage, but it is tied to an apparent need to repeat painful lessons. While there seems to be no issue with remembering rain gear, winter clothing or bug spray, sun protection eludes my memory banks.

Like a thief who squeezes through the vents of a building, the recall of the last sunburn escapes my thoughts. It scurries out of my brain with the same sense of desperation and determination that the sun’s rays show in blazing toward my forehead.

When I hear the crack of the bat or the splash of a pool this summer, I’ll be focused on that moment. Hours later, however, I might be focused on what I had forgotten to throw in my backpack that morning.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

The truth has been (omitted) Barack Obama is a dramatic failure.

His economy has been a slow-motion train wreck. His domestic policy has driven racial antagonism to renewed heights and divided Americans from each other along lines of religion and sexual orientation. On foreign policy he has set the world aflame in the name of pretty, meaningless verbiage and a less hegemonic America.

But there’s good news: At least he controls the information flow.

This week, Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Americans to believe her rather than their own lying eyes. First, she openly admitted that the FBI would censor the 911 phone call of the jihadi Omar Mateen who murdered 49 Americans at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The FBI, she said, would remove explicit references to ISIS, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Islam.

The resulting transcript was a masterpiece of hilarious redaction. Here’s just a taste: “In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial (in Arabic) ... Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of (in Arabic). I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings. ...

My name is I pledge of allegiance to (omitted). ... I pledge allegiance to (omitted), may God protect him (in Arabic) on behalf (omitted).”

This memory holing would make George Orwell cry. In this iteration, Allah becomes God (See, Islam is just like Judaism and Christianity!), but we can’t mention terrorist groups and their leaders. In fact, more than a week after the attack, Lynch told the press she didn’t know the jihadi’s motivation — a motivation clearly stated in the transcript she released.

Insanity.

But this is not unusual for the Obama administration. We know that in the run-up to the Iran deal the Obama administration simply altered reality to fit its narrative: It had fiction writer and deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes cook up an account where negotiations with the terror state began only after the accession of “moderate” President Hassan Rouhani.

Never mind that Obama and company had been negotiating with the mullahs behind the scenes for years before that. The narrative had to be falsified and upheld. When the State Department was forced to admit those lies in a press conference, the White House conveniently chopped out that section of the taped conference for public release.

We also know that the Obama administration lied openly about Obamacare. It knew from the beginning that you couldn’t keep your doctor or your plan. It simply hid that fact for years. We know that the Obama State Department sliced out a section of transcript mentioning radical Islam when French President Francois Hollande visited the United States.

He who controls the information flow controls reality.

And the Obama administration is already rewriting reality for the historians of decades hence. We won’t find out where they hid most of the political bodies until too late — just as we won’t find out what Clinton hid in her private server until far too late.

This is why a government must not be trusted with massive power. Politicians have every incentive not just to lie in the present but to lie with an eye toward the future. The more power they have over us, the more power they have over the reality we see — and the more they think they can get away with manipulating that reality.

Unaffectionate husband is not likely to change

DEAR ABBY: I knew my husband for two years before we married four years ago. My problem is we are no longer intimate — not even hugs or kisses. For the first two years we did have sex, but the only affection I get now is a kiss on my forehead or my hand.

When I asked if we could sleep together during the weekends, he refused. He says the reason is he has to finish his work. I have told him how much this hurts me and he keeps promising to change, but it never happens. When I recently asked him why, he said he is “shy.” I am starting to doubt his love for me because when I need him, he’s not there, and when I need his support, he doesn’t protect me.

His mother is pushing us for a grandchild. She blames me for not “forcing” her son to sleep with me, which is impossible. I spend most of my time working out at the gym or doing volunteer work, which keeps me from getting too depressed. But when my mother-in-law starts in, I feel scared and don’t dare go back to my house. Every few nights I have nightmares and wake up crying. I’m beginning to think I should end this marriage. Should I? — ALONE IN SINGAPORE DEAR ALONE: Whatever is going on with your husband, it doesn’t appear that he has been completely candid with you. He appears to be using his workload as an excuse not to be intimate. I also seriously doubt that his problem is “shyness.”

Your husband may have erectile difficulties or a diminished sex drive, which are medical problems that could be fixed if he was willing to address them. He may be involved with someone else, not be interested in women at all, or he could have simply fallen out of love with you.

Regardless of what your MIL says, a child is NOT your answer and would only complicate matters further. If your husband would consent to counseling with you, it might help. If not, by all means talk to a lawyer.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance has just been told that he has cancer. He wants to move our wedding date up because of it, to make sure my boys and I will be taken care of if things don’t go well. I am torn about whether we should. I want to marry him, but I think we should work on one thing at a time. Thoughts, Abby? — MAYBE MARRYING IN MINNESOTA DEAR MAYBE MARRYING: Your fiance is looking out for you and your boys, and I respect that.

The traditional marriage vows include “... for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.” He may survive his cancer diagnosis — many patients do.

While some in your situation would want to wait until things were more certain, there are no guarantees in life. Your fiance will need your strength, love and care in the months to come, and if knowing you are taken care of will ease his mind, I think you should do it.

husband over his affair

MANCHESTER — An eastern Iowa judge is accused of throwing a water bottle at her husband and hitting him. Online court records say Judge Stephanie Rattenborg, of Manchester, is charged with domestic assault in Delaware County. Court documents say a sheriff ’s deputy responded to a 911 call from Rattenborg’s husband Friday evening.

The documents say Randall Rattenborg told the deputy that his wife threw the water bottle at him and began hitting him because she’d learned he was having an affair.

2 Electrical problem suspected in Iowa State Capitol fire

DES MOINES — Authorities suspect an electrical problem caused a small fire at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines. Firefighters were dispatched around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday to a first-floor office on the building’s east side.

The blaze and the water sprayed to extinguish the flames caused only minor damage. The Iowa State Patrol says the fire cause is being investigated, but investigators so far think an unspecified electrical problem is to blame.

ROCK RAPIDS — Environmental specialists are determining the effects of a semi crash in the northwestern corner of the state that spilled herbicide and soybean oil into a ditch. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the crash happened Tuesday morning about six miles west of Rock Rapids. Officials say an unknown amount of soybean herbicide spilled, as did 150 gallons of soybean oil and 5,000 gallons of water, which reached the ditch and ran into an unnamed tributary of Mud Creek and Rock River.

MASON CITY — A Mason City man has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for third-degree sexual abuse involving a 14-year-old girl.

Brent Champney, 30, pleaded guilty in April to the charge. He was accused of having sex with an underage girl. Champney was sentenced Monday in Cerro Gordo County District Court and ordered to pay $761 to the Crime Victim Compensation Program. He must also register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

Workers deepening lake to improve water clarity COUNCIL BLUFFS — Workers are dredging in Council Bluffs’ Lake Manawa for the first time in decades as part of an effort to improve its water clarity and eliminate algae blooms. A dredging barge is slowly making its way across the 715acre lake, removing sand from the lake bottom. Crews are concentrating on a 60-acre area, where they want to increase depths to a maximum of 16 feet deep.

Developers of fortified food staple awarded World Food Prize DES MOINES (AP) — Four scientists credited with creating food that’s fortified with essential nutrients and vitamins and has helped an estimated 10 million people avoid starvation and disease were awarded this year’s World Food Prize on Tuesday.

Drs. Maria Andrade, Robert Mwanga, Jan Low and Howarth Bouis were announced as the 2016 laureates during a ceremony at the U.S. State Department in Washington.

The $250,000 prize rewards their work to reduce world hunger and malnutrition through biofortification, the process of breeding critical vitamins and micronutrients into staple crops.

Andrade, Mwanga and Low are being honored for developing the orange-fleshed sweet potato, considered to be the single most successful example of biofortification.

It has helped reduce Vitamin A deficiency, which is a public health problem in more than half of all countries, especially in Africa and Southeast Asia, according to the World Health Organization. The vitamin deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and it increases the risk

of disease and death from severe infections due to a weakened immune system.

Andrade, who was born in Cape Verde Islands off the coast of West Africa, focused her work in Mozambique, developing high-yielding sweet potato varieties and distributing them to more than 100,000 households. The challenges included finding a variety that could withstand drought conditions and training the population how to cook the potato without losing its nutritional value, she said.

The prize came as a surprise, Andrade told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

“I was driving and got very emotional,” she said. “I had to stop the car. I was not expecting the phone call.”

For decades, Mwanga has worked primarily in his native Uganda developing vitamin A-rich potato varieties that are disease-resistant and have higher yields. He also has helped his potato gain acceptance among a population that traditionally preferred white or yellow sweet potato varieties with little vitamin A content. By 2014, more than 30 percent of the farmers in Uganda were growing varieties he

developed.

“You realize this is saving lives,” he said. “It’s preventing children from becoming blind and helping children stay health and spending more time in school and not missing classes because they are sick.”

Low, who was born in Denver but now lives in Nairobi, Kenya, structured nutrition studies and programs that convinced almost two million households in 10 African countries to plant, purchase and consume the vitamin-fortified sweet potato.

Bouis, a native of Berkeley, California, is the founder of HarvestPlus at the Washington-based International Food Policy Research Institute. Over a 25-year period, he pioneered the effort to make biofortification a global plant breeding strategy, leading to iron-and zinc-fortified beans, rice, wheat and pearl millet, as well as Vitamin A-enriched cassava, maize and sweet potatoes. The crops have been tested or released in over 40 countries.

The World Food Prize was created by Nobel laureate Norman Borlaug in 1986 to recognize scientists and others who have improved the quality and availability of food.

Water fountain leaves soggy mess at courthouse COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP)— A fourth-floor water fountain apparently ran nonstop over the weekend and damaged floors, walls and equipment in the Pottawattamie County Courthouse in Council Bluffs.

The leaky fountain was discovered Sunday morning, but by that time water had seeped through much of the courthouse. On Monday, crews spread through the building, drying floors, tearing down parts of walls and clean-

ing up ceiling tiles that fell onto computers and other equipment.

“It had to be running most of the weekend for the amount of water that fell onto the floor,” said Jim Yochum, the county’s director of building and grounds. “It’s amazing the damage it caused considering it only releases a little water at a time.”

Damaged areas included courtrooms on the third and fourth floors as well as halls and offices on the second, third and fourth

floors.

Yochum said it’s too early to say how much money it will cost to repair the damage. A company brought more than 50 drying machines to get the moisture out of floors and walls, but workers were still determining whether walls would need to be replaced.

Officials were hopeful repairs could be completed by the end of next week.

The courthouse is a modern structure, built in 1977.

Local Medicaid fraud trial postponed

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Newton man accused of creating false Medicaid records waived his right to a speedy trial this week, postponing the court date.

Steven A. Sholley, 51, is charged with second-degree fraudulent practice and tampering with records for acts he allegedly committed between February and September 2015.

Sholley is accused of working with another person to submit false documentations for services not provided. Those records were used in billing the state of Iowa Sholley nearly $4,000 for false Consumer Directed Attendant Care/Medicaid services.

Sholley was investigated by the State of Iowa, Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and was charged in February. A new trial date had not been set by presstime.

Linn County exploring minimum wage increase CEDAR RAPIDS — Linn County Supervisors have appointed a group of business leaders and workers to study the pros and cons of increasing the minimum wage.

Supervisors had expected the 20-member group to take up to six months to conduct their analysis, but members voted last week after only three meetings to recommend increasing the county’s minimum wage by a dollar to $8.25 an hour.

Supervisors discussed the recommendation Monday. Ben Rogers, chair of the Linn County Supervisors, says there’s no reason to rush any decisions without determining how the larger cities in the county feel about a possible increase.

“If Marion, Hiawatha and Cedar Rapids don’t want to participate that impacts the minimum wage’s impact in the community. Our next step is to reach out to those communities to tell them where we are in the process,” Rogers said.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett was chairman of the volunteers who studied the minimum wage issue and said he proposed the $8.25 compromise.

Accura HealthCare purchases Careage of Newton, Heritage Manor Newton Daily News Accura HealthCare President and CEO Ted LeNeave have announced the purchase of American Healthcare Associates which operates 11 skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers, two assisted living facilities and one residential care facility.

“Providing quality-focused individualized care for the residents and patients of Iowa is our highest priority. Our facilities are united in estab-

lishing relationships with our care partners. We believe that we are all partners in care and that makes us family for life.

We will improve quality care and quality of life,” LeNeave said.

LeNeave and Tom LeNeave moved to Iowa with their families in 2015. As brothers, they wanted to start a business together that focused on making a difference. Their philosophy embraces an upside down organization approach that

places residents, patients, and direct care employees at the very top of the organizational chart.

Accura HealthCare’s upside down organizational philosophy creates an upside down triangle that is reflected in the company’s logo. Also visible within the triangle of the logo

is one person caring for another; this represents the meaning of the company name. “Accura” is Latin, meaning to take care of or to give attention to.

Accura HealthCare facilities provide intensive medical and rehabilitative services that include orthopedic, pulmonary, cardiac, dementia, respite, diabetes and hospice services for short and long term care needs. In addition, the Assisted Living

facilities help residents remain independent in private settings while providing housekeeping and dining services, activities promoting companionship, and 24-hour emergency response.

The public is invited to come out to the facility and learn more about Accura’s services, philosophy and culture.

The facilities are now known as Accura HealthCare of Newton West, 2130 W. 18th St. S., and Accura HealthCare of Newton East, 1743 S. Eighth Ave. E.

Caution advised as peak boating season approaches Heading toward the peak of Iowa’s boating season; boaters and other on the water recreationists are urged to observe safety first, on or near their favorite lake or stream.

Traditionally, the Fourth of July weekend is the busiest period on Iowa waters. Boating, paddling, fishing and swimming are even more popular with what are often the warmest temperatures of the year. Before you set out, though, help make sure everybody stays safe.

“We urge boaters ... including passengers ... to remain alert to activity around them,” advises Susan Stocker, boating law administrator for the Department of Natural Resources. “Don’t overload your craft. The U.S. Coast Guard, along with manufacturers, determines the capacity of each boat and it is visible on virtually all boats.”

File Photo As we hit the peak of Iowa’s boating season, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources reminds boaters of a few safety precautions.

Operators can brush up on rules and regulations, by taking the DNR boating safety course.

Iowa law requires any person 12-17 years old, who will operate a motorboat over ten horsepower or a personal watercraft, to successfully complete the education

Get inspired.

Meet medical specialists. Connect with others. All at a Novartis MS Education Link Event

program. It is available online at www.iowadnr. gov/Things-to-Do/Boating/Boater-Education Stocker reminds everyone on board that they need a properly fitted lifejacket. Safety officials also urge you to wear it.

“It is similar to seat belts on the road. You

won’t have time to grab it and put it on, when facing an emergency situation,” she said.

Other lake or river enthusiasts — from paddlers and anglers to swimmers — can avoid problems, too, by wearing a lifejacket, especially during heavy periods

of boat traffic.

“With the variety of activities out there, a life jacket provides added safety while you are enjoying yourself,” Stocker said.

The effects of sun, waves and wind over a day on the water are tiring; especially if alcohol is involved.

“Alcohol has a dehydration effect. It can impede judgment,” Stocker said. “A sober designated boat operator is vital on board.”

In Iowa, there are more than 235,000 registered boats. Many of them will be out over the coming weekends. With everyone aware, everyone stays safe on the water.

Boating Tips • Don’t drink and operate a boat • Take a boating safety course • Always wear a lifejacket – it can’t work if it’s not on

• Have a throwable floatation device on board • Review boating laws • Remember, youth under age 13 are required to wear a lifejacket while the boat is underway • Have patience and be courteous on the ramp and water • Get a weather forecast before heading out • Keep watch for other boaters, swimmers, skiers, debris or other obstacles in the water • Have a fully charged, usable fire extinguisher • Maintain your boat trailer [lights, wheel bearings, tires] • Have a working horn or whistle • Prepare your boat in the rigging lane prior to launching • Don’t operate in a careless or reckless manner • Don’t violate buoys, as they are the road signs of the water

Big first inning lifts No. 13 Boone past No. 15 Newton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Fran Lucas makes the connection with the bat and ball in an earlier game this season. Newton lost 13-8 Tuesday at Boone.

BOONE — In a possible preview of a Class 4A Region 2 semifinal match-up, 13th-ranked Boone got past 15th-ranked Newton, 13-8, Tuesday. The host Toreadors powered across eight runs on seven hits in the opening inning and held off the Cardinals down the stretch.

Newton received a first-round bye in the 4A regional tournament while Boone hosts Webster City on July 7. The winner of the Boone and Webster City game plays at 7 p.m. July 9 at Newton.

The Cardinals pushed across a run in the first inning. Senior Sydney Jenkins drew a leadoff walk and stole second base. Sophomore Karley Leiker singled and Jenkins scored on a passed ball.

In the bottom of the first inning, Boone used seven hits and two walks issued

by Newton starting pitcher, sophomore Taylor Ryan, to

score eight runs. The Toreadors racked up two more runs in the second against freshman Maddison Thayer, who walked three batters and hit one batter. Thayer also allowed one hit.

Karley Leiker took over in the circle in the bottom of the second inning. Leiker pitched out of a jam in the second inning then had two scoreless innings. She allowed two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth. Leiker gave up six hits and struck out one.

Newton tried to climb out of the deep hole with two runs in the third inning. Jenkins walked again to lead off the third and stole second and third. Karley Leiker delivered an RBI single and freshman Emily Valtman connected for a one-out RBI double.

The Cardinals added single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Kennedy Leiker doubled and scored on a twoout single by Jenkins in the fourth. With one gone in the

fifth, Valtman singled and came home on a double by Ryan.

Kari Adams led off the sixth with a home run over the left center field fence to make it 12-6. Valtman opened Newton’s seventh inning with a base hit and sophomore Audrey Lucas singled with one gone. Adams delivered a twoout single. Two runs scored, but the Toreadors halted the Cardinal rally for the win.

Valtman went 3-for-4 with two singles and a double. Adams hit a single and a home run while Karley Leiker hit two singles. Ryan and Kennedy Leiker each had a double.

Jenkins was 1-for-1 with a single and drew three walks.

Audrey Lucas had a base hit.

The Cardinals (20-9) finish Little Hawkeye Conference action at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at 4A 12th-ranked Pella.

Newton is 6-5 in LHC play.

St. Louis decks Rhoads plays in all-star game Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cardinals manager Mike Matheny could have come up with more promising road trips than one against the red-hot Cubs and World Series champion Royals, with a long flight to Seattle smashed right in between.

The fact that St. Louis won five of eight left him grinning like a schoolboy.

“That’s a good trip. This was a tough ask,” Matheny said after an 8-4 victory over Kansas City on Tuesday night evened their four-game, two-city series.

“This has been a tough month, a lot of games on the road.”

Just about everybody in the Cardinals lineup contributed to the offense, while Michael Wacha (4-7) allowed four runs over six bumpy innings — he served up nine hits and three walks.

His bullpen nearly gave away the win, too: Seung Hwan Oh loaded the bases with one out in the ninth before getting pinch-hitter Alex Gordon to pop out and inducing Eric Hosmer into a routine fielder’s choice.

“I don’t want to put the team in that situation,” Oh said

through a translator.

Meanwhile, Yordano Ventura (6-5) allowed seven runs on seven hits, three walks and a hit batter in 5 1/3 innings for Kansas City. Ventura had only allowed one run over his last two starts, both of which came before an eight-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing brawl during a game June 7 in Baltimore.

As if things weren’t bad enough for Kansas City, Lorenzo Cain grabbed his left hamstring while trying to beat out an infield hit in the seventh inning. The All-Star outfielder left the game and declined to speak to reporters in the clubhouse, though he was walking without much of a limp.

“I wish I had an answer for you but it doesn’t happen that quick,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We’ll have an MRI soon as they can get him in.

We’ll determine how much fluid is on it and what the extent is.”

The cross-state series shifts to St. Louis for two more games beginning Wednesday night.

ST. LOUIS | 6B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Hannah Rhoads (18) — seen here in a playoff game eariler this season — played in Saturday’s Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association 2016 Girls East-West All Star Cup game at Valley Stadium. Rhoads was on the winning East squad, 3-0 over the West, as a midfielder. Players are nominated and selected by IHSSCA-member coaches.

Legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt dies KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Pat Summitt, the winningest coach in Division I college basketball history who uplifted the women’s game from obscurity to national prominence during her 38year career at Tennessee, died Tuesday morning. She was 64.

With an icy glare on the sidelines, Summitt led the Lady Vols to eight national championships and prominence on a campus steeped in the traditions of the football-rich south until she retired in 2012.

Her son, Tyler Summitt, issued a statement Tuesday morning saying his mother died peacefully at Sherrill Hill Senior Living in Knoxville surrounded by those who loved her most.

“Since 2011, my mother has battled her toughest opponent, early onset dementia, ‘Alzheimer’s Type,’ and she did so with bravely fierce determination just as she did with every opponent she ever faced,”

University of Tennessee Photo Pat Summitt guided the Lady Vols to eight national championships during her 38-year career at Tennessee. The winningest coach in NCAA Division I college basketball history died Tuesday.

Tyler Summitt said. “Even though it’s incredibly difficult to come to terms that she is no longer with us, we can all find

peace in knowing she no longer carries the heavy burden of this disease.”

Summitt helped grow col-

lege women’s basketball as her Lady Vols dominated the sport in the late 1980s and 1990s, winning six titles in 12 years.

Tennessee — the only school she coached — won NCAA titles in 1987, 1989, 1991, 199698 and 2007-08. Summitt had a career record of 1,098-208 in 38 seasons, plus 18 NCAA Final Four appearances.

She announced in 2011 at age 59 that she’d been diagnosed with early onset dementia. She coached one more season before stepping down. At her retirement, Summitt’s eight national titles ranked behind the 10 won by former UCLA men’s coach John Wooden. UConn coach Geno Auriemma passed Summitt after she retired.

When she stepped down, Summitt called her coaching career a “great ride.”

Peyton Manning, who sought Summitt’s advice about returning to Tennessee for his senior season or going to the NFL, said it would have been a great experience to play for her.

Knoxville gets win over PCM softball

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News K N O X V I L L E — Prairie City-Monroe’s softball team lost 7-2 to Knoxville on Tuesday night during a non-conference road game.

The Mustangs dropped to 10-16 on the season, while the Panthers improved to 9-15 and ended a two-game losing streak.

PCM hosts Nevada at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Spinning in a six-game losing streak, the Colfax-Mingo baseball team could have given up and quit when Collins-Maxwell/Baxter rallied from a seven-run deficit to take an 8-7 lead in the sixth inning.

There isn’t much quit in the Tigerhawks.

C-M sophomore Jarrod Nichols struck out CMB junior Brady Kemp with a runner on third in the top of the seventh inning, and then freshman Zarek Hill singled and scored in the bottom of the seventh to give the Tigerhawks a 9-8 home win during non-conference action Tuesday.

Kemp came into the game batting .512. He had two hits against Nichols before strolling to the plate with the chance to give the Raiders another lead in the seventh.

Nichols went right after Kemp and struck him out on four pitches.

“He was upset at the play before,” C-M coach Greer Milledge said of an error Nichols committed on the previous play that allowed Stover to get to second base. ‘”He wanted Kemp, so I let him pitch. He went after him and got him.”

The come-from-behind win by Colfax-Mingo spoiled an impressive relief appearance by CMB junior Hunter McWhirter, who was playing for the first time since his father died on June 18.

McWhirter entered the game with CMB down 6-0 but shut down the Tigerhawks for the next five-plus innings. He fanned nine and allowed two runs on four hits.

“We didn’t lose this game in the seventh. We lost this one in the first and second,” CMB coach Max Seeman said. “And if you watched us take infield, you could have predicted that that’s how the game would start.

“I asked (McWhirter) if he

could go, and he said absolutely. He said he could finish it. He fought and battled and did everything he could, but it came down to us not making the plays behind him.”

Colfax-Mingo freshman Zarek Hill started the bottom of the seventh with an infield single. He went to second after strike three on Jonathan Jacobs got away from CMB senior Brad Ritter. Junior Adam Teed hit a ground ball to second, and the ball was misplayed, which allowed Hill to score the game-winning run.

“It’s a big win. We were starting to doubt ourselves,” Milledge said. “We have had trouble finishing games, and we almost did it again.

“We could have easily given up. My seniors kept us in the game. I give credit to my older guys for keeping the guys focused. We were able to pull it out.”

Colfax-Mingo began the season 10-5 but the six-game

​Wilson homer helps C-M softball rally past CMB

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — For the second straight night, the Colfax-Mingo softball team used a big inning to rally back for a win.

The Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks used a two-run homer

by Ries Wilson to spark a fiverun rally as Colfax-Mingo defeated 3A No. 13 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, 5-2, on Tuesday.

CMB (20-8) led 2-0 after one inning but didn’t score again against Colbee Cunningham, who improved to 8-3.

Wilson’s fourth homer of the season was a two-run shot in the fifth.

Amy Russell improved her team-leading .535 batting average with two more hits, and she walked once. Mackensie Brown had three hits and one RBI. CMB’s Abbey Kahler came into the game with just five walks in 79 innings but walked three C-M batters. She took the

loss after allowing three earned runs on six hits with seven strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

Mikayla Houge struck out five in her 2 2/3 innings and allowed an unearned run.

Mikayla Eslinger doubled and tripled at the plate, while Payge Jurgens also had two hits and scored one of the team’s two runs.

Kahler walked twice, while Eslinger and Hannah Caple each had an RBI. Both Colfax-Mingo (20-9) and CMB can win conference titles with wins Wednesday.

C-M can win the outright South Iowa Cedar League title with a home win over North Mahaska.

CMB can clinch at least a share of the Heart of Iowa Conference title with a home win over Roland-Story.

Seniors lead PCM to win over Clarke

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — After being recognized before the game, the seniors on the Prairie City-Monroe baseball team led the Mustangs to an 11-10 walk-off win over Clarke on Tuesday.

The Mustang seniors combined to go 9-of-15 at the plate, scored eight runs and collected seven RBIs in the victory.

Austin Brown ended the game with a walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the

seventh inning.

The game featured a combined 29 hits, and PCM won the game despite committing three errors.

Brown and freshman Brayton Van Dyke had three hits apiece for PCM. Brown had two RBIs, scored two runs and walked once, while Van Dyke had two RBIs. Senior Clay Cooper finished with two hits, three runs, two steals and one walk, while senior Tyler Foster added two doubles, three runs, two RBIs and one walk.

Senior Gunnar Davis was

2-for-3 with three RBIs and one walk. Davis also started on the mound and tossed the first five innings. He allowed eight runs — five earned — on 11 hits.

Eighth-grader Derek Brown earned the win. He allowed two runs on four hits with two walks and two strikeouts in two innings.

losing streak pushed them below .500 for the first time since they started 1-2 on May 27.

The win against the Raiders (99) evens out the Tigerhawks’ record at 11-11.

“We had the heart to push through it and come through when things weren’t going well,” Milledge said. “Hopefully, this allows us to win a lot in the next few weeks.”

The Raiders had 14 hits, drew two walks and were hit by two pitches. They stranded 11 runners on base, and Colfax-Mingo won despite committing six errors.

“It would have been nice to get a win going into Saydel,” Seeman said. “This loss could still be a good thing. If we play like this against a top 10 team in Class 3A you know how it’s going to end. I think they’ll use this one as motivation, and we’ll have a great practice tomorrow and be a lot more focused all day Thursday.”

Adam Teed started the game

for Colfax-Mingo. He was in line for the win when he left the game in the fourth inning, but he gave up five runs — two earned — on seven hits.

Nichols earned the win in relief. He tossed the final 3 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits with five strikeouts.

Nichols’ biggest strikeout came in his last out when he got Kemp swinging to end the seventh.

“That’s the guy you want up at the plate (Kemp) and that’s the kind of guy you want on base (Stover),” Seeman said. “It was starting to fall our way. We were due for something bad, and they were due to make a big play. That was a big strikeout for Nichols.”

Colfax-Mingo senior Gabe Simpson had three hits, and he scored two runs, while senior Jacob Buehrer collected three RBIs — two of which came on a two-run double in the second.

Hill added two hits, a walk and one run, while sophomore Alex Lewis was 1-for-1 with two walks and two runs. Sophomore Misha Seebeck also scored twice.

CMB, which trailed 7-0 after two innings, plated three in the third, two in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth to take an 8-7 lead.

McWhirter relieved senior Nate Bishop with no outs in the second inning. Colfax-Mingo recorded six straight hits during that inning.

Ritter finished with three hits to lead the Raiders, while Kemp had two hits, one hit by pitch and two RBIs. Stover and McWhirter each had two hits and one RBI. Senior Spencer Gauch scored two runs.

Colfax-Mingo plays at 6 p.m. Wednesday at North Mahaska, while CMB plays at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at 3A No. 5 Saydel.

Astrograph

Why we do things matters.

When you change the answer to “why?” it changes the very nature and thrust of motivation.

Today the big machine of motivation slows down, comes to a complete stop and then changes direction as Mars straightens out in Scorpio. Ask why, and then ask again. Mercury enters Cancer to urge us even deeper into the answer.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 29). While there are those around you who endeavor to get rich and gather honors, your main aim is to do good and be useful. Your modest goals will bring results both pleasing and astounding. Unencumbered

by the warped perspective of ambition, you’ll be extremely attractive and have your choice of company all year. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 14, 44 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The passive move isn’t always the best one, but in this case, today’s conflict probably doesn’t have to involve you. Retreat from that stress and you’ll be advancing to your own centered being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your truth is very close to that of your friend’s. Because you can understand each other so

well, the exchange you have this afternoon will be cathartic.

It feels good to be heard.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The question is whether you should do the job yourself or enlist someone else to do it. The answer will be quickly made obvious when the right person makes the job look easy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

It’s easy to be confident when you’re comfortable, which is why your sartorial decisions will matter so much to the outcome of today’s business.

Perfectly dressed for the occasion at hand, you’ll have a distinct advantage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Heart

to heart exchanges with others make everyone feel more loved and more loving. The expansive and joyful energy is a contagion that will make its way through the Borromean rings of your social world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Most of the jobs today are important enough to take seriously, get right and finish before you hit the pillow tonight. But the thing that is the most important job will be the silliest one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s the exchange of energy, ideas and feelings, flowing back and forth -- this more than anything is what makes a group of people feel like home to you. When this exchange is interrupted, seek to heal the breach immedi-

ately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Each person in the team is helping the other reach new potentials. It’s not a conscious effort; rather, it’s the very nature of the group to elevate one another in the spirit of competition and camaraderie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a limited amount of time and much to do within that time today; it’s true. However, you’ll find that when you endeavor to fully inhabit the moment, it will bend and stretch to love you back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The information you learn today will be a piece of a puzzle that will intrigue you for weeks

to come. An ensnarling mystery can be a delightful diversion, and this one has personal implications, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are so many ways to see the truths of the day. Some are hard, others warm; then there are bright truths and stark ones.

And by the way, there’s no good reason to doubt the easy truths -- they, too, might exist.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Being around busy, chaotic people will activate your fondness of peace and quiet. The serenity you long for all day will stretch before you tonight, sweetly fulfilling.

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | June 29, 2016 Sports NFL coach, defensive mastermind Buddy Ryan dies at 82

6B |

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press Buddy Ryan took a back seat to no one. Neither did his fierce defenses that won two Super Bowls.

The pugnacious coach and defensive mastermind whose twin sons have been successful NFL coaches, died Tuesday. He was 82.

His death was confirmed by the Buffalo Bills, where Rex Ryan is the head coach and Rob Ryan an assistant. James Solano, Buddy Ryan’s agent, said he died in Kentucky but did not give a cause. Ryan lived on a ranch in Shelbyville.

“His knowledge, passion for football and the love he had for his players and coaches are traits that have shaped and influenced so many careers, including my own,” said Rams coach Jeff Fisher, who played for and got his coaching start under Ryan.

Ryan was a linebackers coach for the 1968 champion New York Jets and coordinated the ground-breaking 46 defense for the title-winning 1985 Chicago Bears, one of the NFL’s greatest defenses.

He was a head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1986-90 and for the Arizona Cardinals in 1994-95, compiling a 55-55-1 overall record.

A few years ago, Ryan attended a Cowboys-Jets game, traveling to New Jersey despite cancer to see then-Jets head coach Rex go against then-Dallas defensive coordinator Rob. “Buddy Ryan was the architect of the greatest defense our league has seen,” said Bears chairman George H. McCaskey. “He was brilliant when

it came to the X’s and O’s of the game, but what made him special was his ability to create an unwavering confidence in the players he coached. From the day he was hired in 1978, his defenses bought into more than the scheme, they bought into him and took on his personality. Buddy was brash, intelligent and tough.”

James David Ryan was a Korean War veteran who went to Oklahoma State, then earned a master’s degree from Middle Tennessee State even while coaching. He got his first major job in the pros in New York, then of the AFL, in 1968. Ryan was the linebackers coach for the Joe Namathled Jets, a boastful, confident team that fit his personality.

Those Jets led the AFL in defense in his first season on staff, then shocked the Colts in the Super Bowl, 16-7.

“That’s something my dad was very proud of,” Rex said.

“When (former Jets coach Weeb) Ewbank hired him, he had to make a difference. If he felt he wasn’t making a difference, then his career as a professional coach would be short.”

Instead, it was very long.

Ryan’s first job as a defensive coordinator came in 1976 with the Vikings under Bud Grant, like Ewbank a Hall of Fame coach. He spent two years there, with the 1976 team losing to Oakland in the Super Bowl. He then moved to the rival Bears, where he concocted the 46 defense that overwhelmed the league with its aggressiveness and unpredictability.

Ryan’s defenders, featuring such Hall of Famers as linebacker Mike Singletary and

ends Dan Hampton and Richard Dent, came from all angles and was nearly impossible to budge on the ground. Not that teams had more success in the air, either.

“Some say the 46 is just an eight-man front,” said Ryan, who named the scheme after safety Doug Plank, who wore that number. “That’s like saying Marilyn Monroe is just a girl.”

Ryan and head coach Mike Ditka often feuded during that 15-1 season and Super Bowl run. They nearly slugged

Continued from Page 1B Ventura actually breezed through the first inning on just 12 pitches, but trouble came promptly in the second.

He gave up three hits, walked two and Yadier Molina, Kolten Wong and Greg Garcia drove in runs.

He appeared to settle down over the next couple innings before more trouble hit in the fifth.

fouling a ball off the ground Monday night that ricocheted back off his forehead. He experienced blurry vision in his right eye and visited the hospital after the game, but manager Mike Matheny said Tuesday that Diaz should be back in a few days.

titles, as well as 16 conference tournament titles. She was an eight-time SEC coach of the year and seven-time NCAA coach of the year. She also coached the U.S. women’s Olympic team to the 1984 gold medal.

In 2006, Tennessee made Summitt the first millionaire coach in women’s basketball with a contract paying $1.125 million. She was paid $1.5 million in the final year of the six-year contract in 2011-12.

Summitt’s greatest adversary on the court was Auriemma. The two teams played 22 times from 1995-2007. Summitt ended the series after the 2007 season.

“Pat’s vision for the game of women’s basketball and her relentless drive pushed the game to a new level and made it possible for the rest of us to accomplish what we did,” Auriemma said at the time of her retirement.

In 1999, Summitt was inducted as part of the inaugural class of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. She made the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame a year later. In 2013, she also was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.

Summitt was such a competitor that she refused to let a pilot land in Virginia when she went into labor while on a

Matt Carpenter started it with a homer to center, the 48th allowed by a Kansas City pitcher this month — the club record is 51 in May 2006. Matt Adams added a sacrifice fly later in the inning to make it 5-2.

Ventura’s night was done in the sixth, when another hit and walk brought Yost ambling from the dugout. Carpenter provided an RBI double and Brandon Moss and Matt Holliday made it 8-2 before reliever Brian Flynn finally got the Royals out of the inning.

Kansas City tacked on two runs in the bottom half before its comeback collapsed in the ninth.

“We had some opportunities. We capitalized in the second inning,” Yost said. “We had a couple of more opportunities. We made it exciting in the ninth inning, but couldn’t make anything happen.”

You’re Outta Here Plate umpire Tim Timmons tossed Royals RHP Edinson Volquez from the bench during the third in-

ning, though it was unclear what prompted the ejection. It was the second time Volquez has been ejected in his career.

Roster Moves The Cardinals activated C Brayan Pena (left knee surgery) from the DL and designated C Eric Fryer for assignment. Pena signed a $5 million, two-year deal to backup Yadier Molina but has not played this season.

hour, ‘What time is my meeting again?’ - and then be late.”

Summitt started a foundation in her name to fight Alzheimer’s in 2011 that has raised millions of dollars.

After she retired, Summitt was given the title head coach emeritus at Tennessee.

She had been cutting back her public appearances, coming to a handful of Tennessee games this past season and occasionally also traveled to watch her son Tyler coach at Louisiana Tech.

Earlier this year, Summitt moved out of her home into an upscale retirement resort.

Summitt is the only person to have two courts used by NCAA Division I basketball teams named in her honor: “Pat Head Summitt Court” at the University of Tennessee-Martin, and “The Summitt” at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. She also has two streets named after her: “Pat Summitt Street” on the University of Tennessee-Knoxville campus and “Pat Head Summitt Avenue” on the University of Tennessee-Martin campus.

She married R.B. Summitt in 1980 and filed for divorce in 2007.

Summitt is survived by her mother, Hazel Albright Head; son, Tyler Summitt; sister, Linda; brothers, Tommy, Charles and Kenneth. Tyler Summitt said a private funeral and burial will be held in Middle Tennessee and asked that the family’s privacy be respected. A public memorial service is being planned for Thompson-Boling Arena.

recruiting trip in 1990. Virginia had beaten her Lady Vols a few months earlier, preventing them from playing for a national title on their home floor.

But it was only in 2012 when being honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award that Summitt shared she had six miscarriages before giving birth to her son, Tyler.

She was born June 14, 1952, in Henrietta, Tennessee, and graduated from Cheatham County Central High School just west of Nashville. She played college basketball at the University of Tennessee at Martin where she received her bachelor’s degree in physical education. She was the co-captain of the 1976 U.S. Olympic team, which won the silver medal.

After playing at UT Martin, she was hired as a graduate assistant at Tennessee and took over when the previous head coach left.

She wrote a motivational book in 1998, “Reach for the Summitt.” Additionally, she worked with Sally Jenkins on “Raise the Roof,” a book about the 1997-98 championship season, and also detailed her battle with dementia in a memoir, “Sum It Up,” released in March 2013 and also co-written with Jenkins.

“It’s hard to pinpoint the exact day that I first noticed something wrong,” Summitt wrote. “Over the course of a year, from 2010 to 2011, I began to experience a troubling series of lapses. I had to ask people to remind me of the same things, over and over. I’d ask three times in the space of an

Summitt “She could have coached any team, any sport, men’s or women’s. It wouldn’t have mattered because Pat could flat out coach,” Manning said in a statement. “I will miss her dearly, and I am honored to call her my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with Tyler and their entire family.”

Summitt was a tough taskmaster with a frosty glower that could strike the fear of failure in her players. She punished one team that stayed up partying before an early morning practice by running them until they vomited. She even placed garbage cans in the gym so they’d have somewhere to be sick.

Nevertheless, she enjoyed such an intimate relationship with her players that they called her “Pat.” Summitt never had a losing record and her teams made the NCAA Tournament every season. She began her coaching career at Tennessee in the 1974-75 season, when her team finished 16-8.

With a 75-54 victory against Purdue on March 22, 2005, she earned her 880th victory, moving her past North Carolina’s Dean Smith as the all-time winningest coach in NCAA history. She earned her 1,000th career win with a 73-43 victory against Georgia on Feb. 5, 2009.

Summitt won 16 Southeastern Conference regular season

it out at halftime of Chicago’s only defeat, at Miami on a Monday night in December.

(Ryan would punch offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride on national TV on Jan. 2, 1994 when both were assistant coaches in Houston.)

His work in Chicago got Ryan the Eagles job.

At a meeting the night before the Bears beat New England in the 1986 Super Bowl, Dent said a teary Ryan informed his players that he was going to Philadelphia: “You guys are going to

be my champions. Let’s kick some tail,” Ryan said.

Hampton then kicked a film projector out of defensive line coach Dale Haupt’s hands, and defensive tackle Steve McMichael flung a chair across the room, its legs impaling a chalkboard.

Such was the devotion players felt for Ryan, who guided the Eagles to the playoffs in 1988, ‘89 and ‘90. But they lost all three playoff games, and he was fired after the 1990 season

by Eagles owner Norman Braman despite a 43-35-1 record.

Earlier that season, Ryan bragged that his Eagles would so badly beat up the Redskins in a Monday night game “they’ll have to be carted off in body bags.” The Eagles’ defense scored three touchdowns in a 28-14 win and knocked nine Redskins out of the game, including two quarterbacks.

A year earlier, Philadelphia routed the Cowboys 27-0 on Thanksgiving Day with hardly any holiday feelings in the air.

Cowboys kicker Luis Zendejas claimed Ryan put a $200 bounty on him, something Ryan laughed off as ridiculous.

After one season as an assistant at Houston, Arizona hired Ryan as head coach in 1994 and the Cardinals went 12-20 in his two years there.

He never coached again, letting Rex and Rob carry on the family legacy.

“Buddy’s influence will be carried on by defensive coaches for generations to come, but none more so than by Rex and Rob,” the Bills said.

Ryan also is survived by another son, Jim, the Eagles said.

University of Tennessee Photo Pat Summitt coached the Tennessee Lady Vols for 38 years and was the winningest NCAA Division I coach — female or male — in college basketball history.
