Into the canyon A 70-year-old Vietnam veteran gained confidence from a trip to a far-flung Arizona location

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Monday’s Fourth of July Parade commences across Newton’s streets, Dick Wobst will likely be on board a 101-year-old steam traction engine.

He’ll be making his way along the parade route with some newfound confidence from a unique recent journey.

Wobst spent four days in late May hiking with a group deep into Havasu Canyon in northwest Arizona with a small group. The guide told Wobst, who is age 70, he’s the oldest hiker he’s ever taken on the 8.5 mile trek into the canyon and on day hikes in the area. The experience helped Wobst learn

one more accomplishment he could add to a long list in life.

Wobst credits his close friend, whom he met through a local church, for helping him with the hike. Megan Crawford of Grinnell made it possible through her encouragement and moral support, he said.

“I don’t think I could have done it without her,” he said. “I told my wife Lorraine this was something I really wanted to do, and she said ‘I’m not going.’ So I had to find someone physically capable of this endeavor.”

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News With slightly more than two months to go until its election, the Newton Community School District’s bond committee is gearing up for its final stretch.

The committee, comprised of about 30 educators and community members, met Wednesday at the E.J.H. Beard Administrative Center to discuss dozens of facets of getting the word out to the community about the upcoming Sept. 13 special election, and its efforts to encourage voters to give a general obligation bond its required 60 percent approval.

Having already met as subcommittees, the 17 committee members who were present discussed the tasks ahead of them in the months ahead. One of those tasks will be to march with a banner in Monday’s Newton

Ambulance rates set to decrease

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Ambulance rates for the Newton Fire Department are set to decrease in July.

A .5 percent decrease was approved by city council to keep rates aligned with Medicare rates, a major funding source for ambulance services.

“To establish the rates, the city looked at Wellmark, the largest insurance provider that reimburses the department for services,” city administrator Bob Knabel said.

Wellmark’s scheduled rate is based on a factor of 1.7 times the established Medicare rate.

In the six major categories of ambulance service, basic life support non-emergency, basic life support emergency, advanced life support non-emergency, ad-

vanced life support emergency, advanced life support level 2 and specialty care transport, a reduction of rates range from $5 to $1 per service.

Charges start at $369 for BLS non-emergency and increase to $590 for BLS emergency. ALS non-emergency services start at $443 with an increase to $701 for ALS emergency.

Beat the heat, stay cool Jasper County Health Department and IMPACT Community Action Partnership urge residents to prepare for extreme heat this summer.

No one should die from the heat, but every year extreme heat causes 658 deaths in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by taking commonsense steps in extreme temperatures can prevent heat related illnesses and deaths.

Extreme heat can lead to very high body temperatures, brain and organ damage and even death. People suffer heat related illness when their bodies are unable to compensate and cool themselves properly. The body normally cools itself by sweating.

When the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly.

Extreme heat affects everyone, but the elderly, children, the poor or homeless, persons who work or exercise outdoors, and those with chronic medical conditions are most at risk.

Extreme heat can put individuals at risk of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Here are a few tips to stay cool and hydrated.

Stay Cool

Keep your body temperature cool to avoid heat-related illness • Stay in air-conditioned building as much as possible.

• Find air-conditioned shelter.

• Do not rely on a fan as your primary cooling device.

• Avoid direct sunlight.

• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.

• Take cool baths and showers.

• Check on those most at risk twice a day.

Stay Hydrated

Your body loses fluids through sweat, you can become dehydrated during times of extreme heat.

• Drink water more than usual.

• Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more fluids.

• Drink from two to four cups of water every hour while working or exercising outside.

• Avoid alcohol or liquids containing high amounts of sugar.

• Remind others to drink enough water.

Practice Heat Safety wherever you are; job sites, indoors, vehicles, and outdoors.

“There is a great need in Jasper County for fans and air conditioners. IMPACT currently is in need of donations of new fans or air conditioners for the Jasper County community. Donations may be dropped off at the IMPACT office in Newton,” IMPACT Jasper County Coordinator Patty Sneddon said.

Jasper County Health Department is educating that heat related illness and deaths are 100 percent preventable if we remember to stay cool, hydrated and informed during extreme heat.

Call United Way 2-1-1, in order to find a cooling center near you.

Energy assistance may be available at IMPACT Community Action Partnership, 115 N. Second Ave. E. in Newton. The phone number is 641-792-3008.

Local & State News Bond Continued from Page 1A There was also discussion about a wide range of topics, ranging from the website and Facebook page devoted to the bond to plans for yard signs and letters to the editor.

Several members of the committee pointed out an important aim of the committee is to answer questions and clear up any confusion about the bond.

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 30, 2016 | 3A

“I think it’s important for us to be able to get the levy information out to the public,” said committee member Fran Henderson.

According to the committee’s website, preservethepride.com, the bond would only raise the tax levy on a $100,000-valuation property by $8 per year.

Among other efforts, there will be yard signs ordered, a display case utilized at the Newton Public Library for bond information, appear-

ances at the two NHS football home games that take place before Sept. 13, and appearances by committee members to speak about the bond at organizational meetings, such as Kiwanis or Rotary.

“Those football games — that’s really where we could really reach a lot of people,” committee chair Craig Armstrong said.

The committee also addressed negative feedback about the bond, including a recent letter to the editor that

encouraged the board and the district to curtail spending.

Public relations consultants Sara Opie and Jeff Huggins were hired by the district to help assist with bond campaign, and members of the committee planned to call them Wednesday night after the meeting. Opie recently worked with the Prairie City-Monroe district’s successful passage of a $10 million bond issue with a 69 percent approval. Newton is her fourth school bond campaign.

Footage for the show was filmed in Newton on March 30 at Capitol II, SHARE Preschool and other local sites. While at SHARE Preschool, Joy showed off her best tricks including sitting, giving kisses, honking a horn, pushing balls on the floor, bowling, going through a tunnel and even playing the piano with her snout.

For those wanting to get a peek at the popular pig in person, Joy will be at Capitol II on Friday and will be appearing in Newton’s Fourth of July parade on Monday. Joy will be wearing a special out-

Wobst

Continued from Page 1A combat medic in Vietnam, where he earned a Bronze Star with a “V” valor device. The Milwaukee native said his military experience prepared him well for carrying a well-loaded backpack up and down steep hills in the canyonlands of Arizona, though he needed to prep vigorously to be in good enough shape for the hike.

His career as an engineer took him to the east coast and to a few locations in the Midwest — the last of which was Newton, coming to work for Whirlpool at Maytag in 2005. After the plant closed, he worked for Springboard Engineering before retiring.

Wobst’s volunteer work both as president of the Jasper County Vietnam Veterans and with the 1915 steam engine help keep him active, but when Wobst decided he wanted to take on a mountainous hike, some training was needed. He began climbing the stairs of the

Cordova Tower located at Lake Red Rock State Park while wearing a backpack and getting in better condition.

The Newton resident credits Diana Swihart for her encouragement in going ahead with the hike. He also had the blessing of his doctor, and he’s grateful for having access to the Veterans Administration’s services – especially the kinesiology department of Des Moines’ VA Hospital — in preparing for vigorous physical challenge.

“Fortunately, I’m basically in good physical health,” Wobst said.

After flying into Phoenix, an early morning, three-hour drive took the group of six, its pack mule and its guide off the grid, to a trailhead on the Havasupai Reservation that is out of the reach of cell phones and most radio signals. A satellite phone for emergencies was all the guide had with him.

“It was like going to a different planet,” Wobst said.

The main hike was only 8.5 miles, but the first 1.5 miles was near-

is just one more way for people to enjoy Joy. “Since Joy’s article in the Newton Daily News

and The Des Moines Register back in April, she has become pretty popular. In fact,

Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan and NCSD School Board Vice President Travis Padget both were at Wednesday’s meeting. Both pointed out their limitations in terms of not being permitted by state law to advocate publicly for passage of the bond, or to use school or board resources to do work for the committee.

she’s had weekly engagements and is now booked through July,” Bleeker said.

And if seeing Joy in person isn’t enough, Joy fans can soon take home a memento. Due to the pig’s popularity, the Bleekers are adding one more item to their mini pig’s bag of tricks — stuffed animal model.

Beginning Friday, people can pre-order their very own plush mini Joys. Cost is $20 each (a 10 percent pre-order discount will be applied at time of purchase) and they will arrive in mid-October.

“With the guidance and help of Cathy Rickers, anyone that would like a mini Joy in their life can get one,” Bleeker said. “It will also give me the opportunity to leave behind some joy when I go on visits to schools or nursing homes.”

ly straight down (or so it seemed), as it was an 18 percent downward grade. The spot where the group set up a base camp was on a plain near a Colorado River tributary, in sort of canyon within a canyon.

“We then took the next two days to take day hikes of about 10 miles each,” Wobst said.

“Some of the up-down

to get to the water required climbing ladders to descend from boulders. Climbing about 200 feet worth of ladders down and back up was, along with the hike back up to the top on day four, the toughest parts of the trip.”

In addition to seeing picturesque desert waterfalls and the mixed-color rock of the

southwest, the group bonded, celebrating its diverse backgrounds as a pair of Iowans mixed with Canadians and one woman from the United Kingdom.

“We bonded so well, we didn’t want to go our separate ways when it was over,” Wobst said.

The return hike was rough, too.

“On that steep grade,

Ambulance Continued from Page 1A Medicare rates cover less than insurance but still pick up more than half of the costs. Patients would have to pay approximately $160 to $519 depending on the service.

Mileage charges, which are defined as per loaded mile, will not change from the 2015 rate of $12 per mile. With the reduction of rates, Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik does not see a significant impact on the department’s finances.

“It will have virtually no effect on the revenues,” Wellik said. “If you applied it to the $800,000 in total revenue it would be around $4,000 difference.”

I was really glad to have Megan with us,” he said.

Wobst said the training and the hike itself put him in better physical condition, which he’d like to maintain.

“I’m in better shape at 70 than I was at 69,” Wobst said. “And I’d like to be in even better shape at 71.”

Wobst said the experience reminded him of how physical endurance isn’t something most of us think about in the course of our daily routines.

“Our lives are filled with emotional hazards, but not many physical hazards,” Wobst said.

“In the wild, it’s the opposite. The physical hazards are very visible, and there is little emotional risk there.”

Once they returned to Iowa, Crawford and Wobst agreed there are more challenges on the horizon.

“It could be something along the Appalachian Trail,” Wobst said.

“But Megan and I definitely need a new target.”

There is no activity that is as cost free as an interest in astronomy. All you have to do is walk onto your back porch on a clear night and look up.

Trending Mike Mendenhall programs like The Des Moines Astronomical Society’s Ashton Observatory in Jasper County Conservation’s Ashton Wildwood Park near Mingo. But the wonder is still there.

When the news of the blood supermoon hit the papers in September, I was elated. I’m from the city, and light pollution tends to dull, if not ruin, astronomical events for those around miles of lighted streets and bright downtown skylines. But this year the country skies of rural Colfax were just a two minute drive.

The night of the total lunar eclipse, my girlfriend and I put on our sweats, jumped into the Chevy and traveled to a gravel road west of Colfax. As the eclipse reached totality and the moon looked dipped in crimson, its light

dimmed revealing the band of light from the center of our Milky Way galaxy which appeared in grand detail.

One hundred-thousand stars became visible to the naked eye — no LED or tungsten street lamps to hide their glow.

I wasn’t alone in looking up that early Autumn night. It wasn’t long before images began circulating on iReporting sites, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and traditional news outlets of the uncharacteristically large satellite over iconic landmarks and open spaces. The moon even posed with people from throughout the planet.

I’ve seen a similar momentum with the release of director Ridley Scott’s The Martian. The tale of NASA botanist Mark Watney’s trials, stranded on the Red Planet after a sand storm caused his crew mates to abort the mission, has been heralded as one of the most scientifically accurate portrayals of a Mars landing in cinema history. The science demonstrated in the movie is also

starting the conversation among kids and candidates, adults and adolescents about a future real world trip to Mars.

The movie has no villain, except for the Martian environment. The thin Carbon Dioxide atmosphere, low air pressure and blistering cold antagonized Watney to the end. But when have humans ever backed down from a challenge without one day revisiting its possibilities — not because it is easy but because it is hard, as President John F. Kennedy once said.

I wasn’t around in the 1950s and 60s when the space race with the Soviet Union was tense and trendy, but I hope we have a new momentum building now — not driven of fear of an enemy’s advancing capabilities, but because sheer curiosity and the excitement of what’s out there can be so much fun and unite us as a planet.

Keep looking up.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Heat reading Sweltering in this August heat in June? Chill out with a good book and a Coke-Zero Float. Here are three “reads” you might consider.

“Everybody’s Fool” by Richard Russo. I’ve read Russo’s other major works: “Nobody’s Fool”, “Mohawk” and “The Risk Pool.” Russo is an excellent writer, a man’s man type of writer. “Everybody’s Fool” might best be described as the product of what happens when a well-known writer is prodded by publishers and/or fans into writing a followup. There are way too many characters in “Nobody’s Fool,” to the point where I wondered who was the main character. There are also too many subplots that never reach fruition, causing confusion, for me, anyway.

However, Russo, as the “omniscient narrator,” is as sharp as ever. “Wouldn’t it be a kick in the [pants] if that was how things worked? If we each knew things that other people needed desperately to know, yet were forever clueless about how to help ourselves? I’ll give “Everybody’s Fool” a five out of a possible ten.

“Lab Girl” by Hope Jahren, is a masterpiece of unique writing skill and unbridled talent. Jahren is a PhD Geobiologist writing about plants. Before you yawn, get this: in “Lab Girl” a chapter about plants is followed by a chapter about what’s going on in her life, how it is all intertwined, like pole beans climbing a trellis. “People are like plants: they grow toward the light.” “My strongest memory of our garden is not how it smelled, or even looked, but how it sounded.”

“Being able to derive happiness from discovery is a recipe for a beautiful life.” “Every species on Earth— past or present, from the single-celled microbe to the biggest dinosaur, daisies, trees, people—must accomplish the same five things in order to persist: grow, reproduce, rebuild, store resources, and defend itself.”

“Love and learning are similar in that they can never be wasted.” “These plants know that when your world is changing rapidly, it is important to have identified the one thing that you can always count upon.” “... both life and love are like butter and do not keep: they both have to be made fresh every day.” Hope Jahren has won many scientific awards, I expect a literary award will soon follow. By the way, “Time Magazine” listed Jahren in its list of the 100 most influential people of the world. I rate “Lab Girl” a nine.

I had a little trouble getting through “The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris” by David McCullough.

I found it a little boring, which is unusual, since McCullough typically picks me up like a hot-air balloon, lifting me to greater and greater highs. Unlike most of McCullough’s books, which are about one-or-two people or events, “The Greater Journey” is about the plethora of Americans who visited Paris in the 1800’s.

Like “Everybody’s Fool,” there are too many characters. It becomes confusing and tiring, for me, anyway.

However, my son, a Millennial, enjoyed the heck out of the book. So, to each his own. But some of the Americans McCullough writes of are quite intriguing and well worth reading about. Take for example Samuel Morse. Yes, he is the Morse of Morse Code and the telegraph. A true Renaissance Man, Morse was also a famous painter. One of his most energetic art works is “The Gallery of the Louvre,” a 6’ x 9’ painting of the interior of the gallery wherein hangs portraits of famous artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Veronese, Carevaggio, Rubens, Van Dyck, and Watteau. Therefore, it is a painting of paintings, like “The Greater Journey” is a book about famous Americans who visited Paris. Warning: I read “The Greater Journey” on a Kindle, which was a mistake.

I was completely unaware that the ending of the book was approaching, and was totally deflated, like air whooshing out of that hot-air balloon. Half the book is taken up by epilogue, references, and an index. Bummer. Unlike, “The Wright Brothers,” by McCullough, that I awarded a ten, I’ll give “The Greater Journey” a five.

Often minimized in our history books, the tactics of nonviolent action played a powerful role in achieving American Independence from British rule. Benjamin Naimark-Rowse wrote, “the lesson we learn of a democracy forged in the crucible of revolutionary war tends to ignore how a decade of nonviolent resistance before the shot-heard-round-the-world shaped the founding of the United States, strengthened our sense of political identity, and laid the foundation of our democracy.”

One hundred-fifty years before Gandhi, the American colonists employed many of the same nonviolent actions the Indian SelfRule Movement would later use to free themselves from the same empire — Great Britain.

The boycotting of British goods (tea, cloth, and other imported items) significantly undermined British profits from the colonies.

Noncooperation with unjust laws eroded British authority as the colonists refused to comply with laws that restricted assembly and speech, allowed the quartering of soldiers in colonists’ homes, and imposed curfews. Non-payment of taxes would prove to be a landmark issue for the independence movement. The development of parallel governments and legal structures strengthened the selfrule and self-reliance of the colonists and grew local political control that would ultimately prove strong enough to replace British governance of the colonies.

Brother with multiple issues must work them out himself DEAR ABBY: My brother, “Chris,” is going through a divorce and lost his business. He is now lashing out at our mom and me when she spends time with me.

When I tried to express my sympathy, Chris attacked me via direct message, saying I have a “charmed life and don’t care about anyone — including him and our cash-strapped parents.” It started when Dad gave me a car he wasn’t using before we learned about my brother’s misfortune. When I tried to return it, Dad refused.

Because I stopped responding to him on the internet, Chris is now complaining to Mom about my “selfishness.” He says if the situation was reversed, he would have moved heaven and Earth to help me.

Abby, Chris has a job. He lives with our folks and pays token rent.

My husband and I work, but I have had a salary cut, we have two kids to support and a mortgage to pay.

We’re in no position to provide the financial assistance my brother expects. My parents suspect that he’s still giving money to his soon-tobe ex.

My husband says Chris is trying to manipulate me and that I need to go on with my life, but I’m worried that the longer this goes on, the harder it will be to heal the rift.

I’m also worried about how this is affecting our parents. — GRIEVING IN NICOSIA, CYPRUS DEAR GRIEVING: You cannot heal a rift you didn’t create, and you also can’t “donate away” Chris’ resentment. He’s unhappy for a number of reasons and is taking it out on you not because you’re a bad

sister, but because you are within striking distance.

Your brother needs to work out his difficulties himself. A family meeting — including your husband — might clear the air so all of you are on the same page. Your brother needs to understand why the financial help he seems to expect is unrealistic and will not be forthcoming.

DEAR ABBY: Is there any way to counter a stranger’s mean or hurtful remark (racist, age-related or sexist) in a mall or store? I feel I have to say something — without being confrontational — even if the remark isn’t aimed at me.

What do you suggest? — COMPELLED TO ACT IN OTTAWA, CANADA DEAR COMPELLED: Because you don’t want a confrontation, I urge you to say nothing to the person who made the offensive remark. However, you could approach the person who was the target and quietly say: “That was uncalled for. I hope you realize the person who said that is ignorant, and don’t let it get to you.”

Officers shoot, kill bank robbery suspect

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | June 30, 2016 | 7A

FORT MADISON — State and federal law enforcement are investigating a bank robbery in the southeast corner of Iowa that led to the shooting death of a suspect. The Iowa Department of Public Safety says that a robbery was reported around 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Fort Madison Bank and Trust Co. Arriving officers spotted a man running from the bank and confronted him. Police say the man fired several shots in the direction of officers, hitting a patrol car. Officers say they returned fire, hitting the man once in the torso.

Man killed in all-terrain vehicle crash ORANGE CITY — A 65-year-old man has died of injuries suffered in an all-terrain vehicle accident north of Orange City. Kenneth VanGorp was driving an ATV with an attached sprayer trailer in a ditch when he lost control. The ATV and sprayer rolled in the ditch, pinning VanGorp underneath it. The Sioux County Sheriff ’s Office says a passing motorist spotted VanGorp trapped under the ATV and called authorities.

complaint against hotel

DES MOINES — A black transgender woman has settled a complaint against an Iowa hotel she says discriminated against her because of her gender identity and race.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa filed a complaint in November on behalf of 23-year-old Meagan Taylor. Taylor, of St. Louis, was traveling with a friend, also a transgender woman, last July. They stopped at the Drury Inn & Suites in West Des Moines for the night but encountered staff suspicious of their appearance.

Over 200-year-old bur oak tree to come down WAVERLY— A bur oak tree in Waverly estimated to be about 217 years old will soon be taken down.

The tree is on the bank of the Cedar River outside the city’s Civic Center, and has about two to three years of life left.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources Forest Health Program leader Tivon Feeley says he noticed some signs of decay years ago that is not uncommon for a tree of its age but the tree’s condition has since worsened.

Community to examine sale of water system BLUE GRASS — Informational meetings have been scheduled to help residents of Blue Grass in eastern Iowa learn details about their City Council’s decision to sell the community’s water system if voters approve. Iowa American Water has offered $1.3 million for the system assets. Mayor Tim Brandenburg says the system needs significant upgrades the city can’t afford without charging some fee or raising taxes.

Court upholds Iowa’s ban on voting rights for felons IOWA CITY (AP) — Felons automatically lose their voting rights for life in Iowa, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Thursday in a decision that declined to restore suffrage to thousands of former offenders.

All felons are disenfranchised by the Iowa Constitution’s bar on voting by those convicted of “infamous crimes,” the court ruled in a 4-3 decision. Iowa lawmakers in 1994 defined all felonies as “infamous crimes” and the court has no reason to overturn that judgment, Chief Justice Mark Cady wrote.

The court turned away a legal challenge filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of Kelli Jo Griffin, who lost her voting rights after being convicted

Trial for former lotto official postponed DES MOINES (AP) — The second trial for a former lottery official accused of fixing jackpots in five states will be postponed until next year.

An Iowa prosecutor and Eddie Tipton’s attorney told a judge Wednesday they’ve agreed to a Feb. 13 trial date. The judge hasn’t yet set a location for the trial.

The former information security director for the Multi-State Lottery Association was convicted last year of fraud for attempting to rig a 2010 Iowa Hot Lotto drawing. He’s appealing.

After his conviction Tipton was charged with ongoing criminal conduct and money laundering tied to drawings in four other states.

of a nonviolent drug offense. The group argued that felons like Griffin had not committed “infamous crimes” and therefore should not be disenfranchised.

More than 56,000 felons have been disqualified from participating in elections in Iowa. Civil liberties advocates had hoped the case would result in most of them being able to register and vote before the November election.

The ruling maintains Iowa’s longstanding status as one of the harshest for punishing criminals by taking away their rights to vote and hold public office. Iowa, Florida and Kentucky are the only states with lifetime voting bans for felons unless their rights are restored by the governor.

Until two years ago, Iowa had

not only stripped voting rights from all felons but from some people who committed misdemeanors. Only those who completed their sentences and successfully petitioned Gov. Terry Branstad to restore their rights can vote again — a process that only about 20 have completed annually in recent years.

In a 2014 ruling, the Iowa Supreme Court declared that misdemeanor crimes never trigger the loss of voting rights and opened the door for a challenge to the felon ban.

Critics have long called the policy a stain on the state’s progressive civil rights record that has disproportionately limited the state’s black population from voting and holding public office.

County pledges $1.5M to Sioux City ag expo center SIOUX CITY (AP) — Woodbury County supervisors have pledged $1.5 million for the proposed Ag Expo and Learning Center in Sioux City.

Supervisors approved the funds Wednesday for the $60.7 million project over 10 years.

The county’s first payment would come after July 2017.

Funds would come either from the county’s portion of gambling revenues from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City or from tax-increment financing.

The county funds were considered crucial in Sioux City’s bid to get $13.9 million in future sales and hotel taxes from the Iowa Economic Development Authority for the center, a new hotel near the downtown

convention center and a nearby mixed-use development.

The county board moved closer to supporting the project after working out a series of stipulations. The county has insisted that it will not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the center or be responsible if the center experiences financial losses. The center will be run by a private management firm.

The city’s Reinvestment District application is awaiting final approval from the authority board, which had warned state funds could be dependent on the county and other public bodies, such as Western Iowa Tech Community College, showing a financial commitment to the project.

Sheriff’s office to offer salvage vehicle theft examinations Newton Daily News As of Friday, the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office will begin to offer salvage vehicle theft examinations. Examinations will be conducted on vehicles with a salvage title issued by the county treasurer.

Iowa law requires all vehicles designated “salvage” or vehicles that have a “salvage” title to be physically examined by a peace officer who has been certified by the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy to conduct inspections prior to issuance of an Iowa vehicle registration. The purpose of the salvage theft examination is to physically verify that no stolen parts were used to rebuild a vehicle and to authenticate the vehicle being rebuilt. The following vehicles are subject to inspection: cars, trucks under 30,000 GVWR, motorhomes and motorcycles.

Once the vehicle has been repaired and is ready for inspection, you will need to complete the Vehicle Information and Affidavit of Vehicle Repairs Form. This form also includes payment for the inspection. This information can be found by visiting the website: salvagetheft.iowadot.gov/salvagethefttitle. An online instruction guide is available to aid in completing this information.

The fee for the salvage theft examination is $50, as of Friday and must be paid online by credit card prior to making the appointment for your examination. The applicant must present to the examining officer an Iowa salvage title in the applicant’s name along with all receipts, invoices and documentation for parts used to rebuild the vehicle. If the examination is performed within 30 days of the assignment of ownership, a properly assigned title is acceptable.

Note, if the repair work to your vehicle included the removing of the public VIN on the vehicle dash, you will need to contact the Iowa Department of Transportation, Bureau of Investigation and Identity Protection to schedule an appointment at invbureau@dot.iowa.gov or 515-237-3050.

For more information, or to schedule your Salvage Vehicle Theft Examination, contact: deputy sheriff Jeremy Burdess at the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office at 641-792-5912.

Iowa DNR: 30 Years, 30 Natural Resource Successes DES MOINES — July 1 marks the 30th anniversary of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, established by the State Legislature when several state agencies consolidated in 1986. To help commemorate the 30th anniversary, the DNR is highlighting 30 success stories for Iowa’s natural resources during the last three decades.

The DNR oversees compliance with water, land and air quality regulations, as well as

wildlife, fisheries, forests and state parks.

According to Gipp, the key to most of these accomplishments has been partnerships.

“These are not just DNR success stories,” said Gipp. “Many citizens, businesses and communities have worked tirelessly to help improve natural resources and Iowa’s quality of life during the last three decades.”

Many of these successes have happened with lead-

ership from organizations, companies and individuals outside of the DNR, and the agency salutes the efforts of thousands who have contributed their innovation and dedication to natural resource work in the state.

Examples of natural resource successes in the last 30 years include: • Iowa’s eagle population, on the brink of extinction in 1986, now has close to 400 nesting pairs in the state.

• More than 1,200 miles of hiking and biking trails have been developed across Iowa, creating hugely popular outdoor opportunities.

• Almost 30 percent of Iowa electricity now comes from wind energy, a number that was basically nonexistent in the mid-1980s.

• Iowa’s streams that can support naturally reproducing trout have increased to 45 from just six in the mid-1980s through water quality efforts.

• 2.2 million Iowans now participate in curbside recycling in 644 Iowa communities, a concept that was not widespread 30 years ago.

The complete list of the 30 accomplishments is highlighted in the July/August 2016 issue of Iowa Outdoors magazine, and can be found on the DNR’s website at www.iowadnr.gov/30th. The successes and anniversary will also be featured in a display at the DNR’s State Fair Building in August.

NATIONWIDE – The phone lines are ringing off the hook.

That’s because U.S. State Silver Bars sealed away in State Vault Bricks are being handed over to IA, WI, IL, MO, NE and SD residents at just the state minimum set by the Lincoln Treasury for the next 2 days.

This is not a misprint. For the next 2 days residents who find their state on the Distribution List above in bold are getting individual State Silver Bars at just the state minimum of $57 set by the Lincoln Treasury. That’s why everyone should be taking full Vault Bricks loaded with five U.S. State Silver Bars before they’re all gone.

And here’s the best part. Every IA, WI, IL, MO, NE and SD resident who gets at least two Vault Bricks is also getting free shipping and free handling. That’s a real steal because all other state residents must pay over six hundred dollars for each State Vault Brick.

Just a few weeks ago, nobody knew that the only U.S. State Silver Bars locked away in the private vaults of the Lincoln Treasury would be allocated to the Federated Mint for a limited release to residents in 6 states. Every single one of the 50 U.S. State Silver Bars are date numbered in the order they ratified the Constitution and were admitted into the Union beginning in the late 1700s.

“As Executive Advisor to the Lincoln Treasury I get paid to deliver breaking news. So, for anyone who hasn’t heard yet, highly collectable U.S. State Silver Bars are now being handed over at just the state minimum set by the Lincoln Treasury to residents in 6 states who beat the offer deadline, which is why I pushed for this announcement to be widely advertised,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

“These bars are solid .999 pure fine silver and will always be a valuable precious metal which is why everyone is snapping up as many as they can before they’re all gone,” Withrow said.

There’s one thing Withrow wants to make very clear. State residents only have two days to call the Toll Free Order Hotlines to get the U.S. State Silver Bars.

“These valuable U.S. State Silver Bars are impossible to get at banks, credit unions or the U.S. Mint. In fact, they’re only being handed over at state minimum set

by the Lincoln Treasury to IA, WI, IL, MO, NE and SD residents who call the Toll Free Hotline before the deadline ends two days from today’s publication date”, said Timothy J. Shissler, Executive Director of Vault Operations at the private Lincoln Treasury.

To make it fair, special Toll Free Overflow Hotlines have been set up to ensure all residents have an equal chance to get them.

Rapid shipments to state residents are scheduled to begin with the first calls being accepted at precisely 8:30am today.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and doing everything we can to make sure no one gets left out, but the U.S. State Silver Bars are only being handed over at just the state resident minimum set by the Lincoln Treasury for the next two days or until they’re all gone, whichever comes first. For now, residents can get the U.S. State Silver Bars at just the state minimum set by the Lincoln Treasury as long as they call before the order deadline ends,” confirmed Shissler.

“With so many state residents trying to get these U.S. State Silver Bars, lines are busy so keep trying. All calls will be answered,” Shissler said.

Cards knock off No. 2 Pella

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — No one will deny it has been a rough season for Newton High’s baseball team.

The Cardinals were riding a nine-game losing streak in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

They were on the road Wednesday against conference-leading and Class 3A second-ranked Pella’s Little Dutch. Newton pulled off the upset, defeating the Little Dutch, 5-1.

“What a fun game to be a part of,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “We trust our defense, and we trust our pitching. It has been the hitting, and tonight, the guys put the ball in play and put pressure on Pella’s defense early.”

Brennen Dodd worked a bases-on-balls from Pella starting pitcher Lucas Hileman to begin the game. Trey Vanderlaan’s sacrifice bunt moved Dodd to second then Drew Stout drew a walk. Con-

nor Gholson and Duncan Lee put the ball in play for Newton and the Little Dutch committed back-to-back errors allowing two Cardinal runs.

Garrett Sturtz took over on the mound, limiting Pella to one run on seven hits and one walk through seven innings.

Newton’s defense turned a double play in the second inning.

Pella used two doubles

by Grant Judkins and Jaden Rolffs to produce a run in the fourth. Newton led 2-1 heading into the sixth inning.

“We had clutch team hitting tonight and good base running,” Brisel said. “Garrett had Pella’s hitters off balance all night. Brennen and Trevor Ergenbright had great catches in the outfield for us. This is a big win for us because Pella is in our district.”

With one out in the sixth, Newton mounted a three-run push to stretch its lead. Lee Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News singled and Keith Steinbach Newton first baseman Trey Vanderlaan fields a ball hit right up the first base line in an home game earBASEBALL | 8B

Getting away for a bit

T

here aren’t very many weeks out of the year that are good for vacations when it comes to the life of a sports journalist.

The best time is often during the winter holidays when our athletic teams are also on break.

One of those not very good times is right now. Unfortunately, there aren’t many people in this world who want to get married in the winter.

One of my best friends in the world is getting married this weekend. I have been asked to be a groomsman.

When a close friend asks you to be in his wedding, you can’t say no — even if the wedding is in northern California; even if it will do a little damage to the wallet.

It’s a must-attend event, and I am looking forward to getting away for a few days.

Don’t worry, I won’t be gone long.

Colfax-Mingo begins its quest at a state tourney berth on July 5. I will be on a plane all day and some of the night on July 4. Expect me to be in my normal spot in Colfax for that firstround game though.

I have never been to the Sacramento area, so I am pretty stoked about this trip. I won’t have a lot of time there, and there won’t be a ton of non-wedding time, but we are going hiking, attending a minor league baseball game and doing some sight seeing.

The key to this trip is being around three of my very best friends. I have a lot of memories with my college buddies, and I am looking forward to making a few more.

The Hawks and Tigerhawks have played two South Iowa Cedar League games this season. Lynnville-Sully defeated Colfax-Mingo, 6-4, in the season opener in Colfax then rallied to beat the Tigerhawks, 4-3, in the most recent meeting in Sully on June 20.

check out, let me know. I will gladly take some requests. My friend who now lives out there is an Iowa native, so he may not be aware of every cool spot.

For those of you who follow track and field, Iowa native Lolo Jones pulled out of this year’s Olympic trials for the 100-meter hurdles.

That likely ends her track career as her age will come into play moving forward.

I understand why some may have Lolo Jones fatigue. She gets a lot of attention.

I don’t get the hate she has gotten in recent years, though.

She is an outspoken woman, but to say the only reason she gets any kind of media coverage is because she’s an attractive woman is wrong.

Jones has won multiple national and world titles in hurdles.

I don’t think I will ever get the image of her clipping the second-to-last hurdle in the 2008 Olympics. She was well on her way to the gold medal when she hit it. It was a tough night

for her, her fans and any Iowan who likes seeing Iowans succeed.

Another Iowan can make an impact on this year’s Olympic Games.

Ames native Harrison Barnes will be one of the 12 members of the USA Basketball team.

I am not sure how much he will play as he was one of the last guys picked and was only chosen because others turned down the chance to play.

That won’t deter me from cheering him on.

I love when Iowans get on this stage.

He is a great person to root for, and I hope he hits a big shot along the way this summer.

Barnes is due to get paid this offseason, too. He had a horrible NBA playoff season for the Golden State Warriors, but some team out there will give him a max deal.

It might be Golden State. It might be Chicago. It might be Minnesota.

For now, it’s go Team USA.

Colfax-Mingo softball wins SICL title

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo softball team came into Wednesday’s South Iowa Cedar League game with at least a share of the conference title.

The Tigerhawks needed to win to clinch the outright championship.

Mission accomplished.

Junior Amy Russell fanned 10 and allowed four hits during a 4-0 shutout victory over North Mahaska, and the Tigerhawks won the SICL title in their first season in the league.

The Class 1A No. 11 Tigerhawks (219) plated three runs in the second inning and that was more than enough to support Russell, who improved to 12-4 in the circle.

Sophomore Ries Wilson had two hits and two RBIs to lead the offense, while freshman Mackensie Brown was 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI. Sophomore Rhiannon Haley had one hit and scored one run.

Colfax-Mingo won its last seven SICL games to win the title. The Tigerhawks went 13-2 in league play, while Sigourney was the runner-up at 11-3.

Russell allowed four hits in the win, but none of those hits left the infield. She retired the Warhawks (10-16, 7-8) in order in the second, third, fourth and seventh innings. Russell struck out the side in the second and the seventh.

The Tigerhawks’ three-run second inning began with a single by Haley. After freshman Colbee Cunningham flied out

to right field, freshman Braedynn Rawlins reached on an error.

Brown shot an RBI single in front of the North Mahaska center fielder to give the Tigerhawks a lead they wouldn’t give up.

Freshman Reghan Robinette walked to load the bases, and then Wilson drove in two with a single to center field.

Jurgens’ homer powers CMB to HOIC title

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Payge Jurgens hit her sixth home run of the season on Senior Night, and eighth-grader Mikayla Houge recorded her 100th strikeout on the year during the Raiders’ 2-1 win over Roland-Story on Wednesday.

Jurgens’ home run gave the Raiders an early lead and then an RBI ground out by junior Megan Ritter proved to be the difference as Class 3A No. 13 CMB won its first Heart of Iowa Conference title since 2010.

The Raiders are now 13-2 in HOIC play.

No. 15 Saydel lost 9-8 to Greene County on Wednesday. That was the Eagles’ fourth conference loss, and the two teams have one league game left.

Ailing hip leaves Lolo Jones out of Olympic trials EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Looking for a Lolo Jones fix? Don’t look in Rio this year.

The popular and polarizing hurdler took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce she won’t be healthy enough to compete at U.S. Olympic Trials.

Jones had hip surgery in November and isn’t healed enough to compete later this week.

The 33-year-old, who also competed for the U.S. in bobsled at the Sochi Olympics, has irritated many in track circles because of her knack for getting attention that doesn’t match her results.

“I may have not shown you over the course of my career how to win an Olympic gold medal, but I hope my journey has shown you how to get back up when you get knocked down, how to try again when you feel like you’ve already tried so many times,” Jones said.

She was the favorite heading into the 2008 Olympics, but finished seventh after tripping over the second-to-last hurdle while in the lead.

Had Jones competed this year, she would’ve been a long shot to make the U.S. team. She said her absence from this year’s trials does not mean she’s retiring.

“I don’t know what my future holds, and I’m sure a lot of you want to know if I’m going back to bobsled,” she said. “Know this, I’m a fighter.

I want to finish this race strong, whatever that race is.”

County Attorney, Mike Jacobsen, reported to the Board that his office is moving toward the implementation of a collection system for outstanding court debt. Jacobsen says that the County would receive 28% of the first $100,000 collected and 33% on collections above the first $100,000.

Jacobsen cited success that Muscatine County is having with the same program.

Muscatine County, a county roughly the size of Jasper County collects about $400,000 per year.

Jacobsen would need to hire a person to concentrate solely on collections.

Collection would center on victim restitution and court debt.

Motion by Stevenson, seconded

by Brock instructing the County Attorney to move forward with the project and approving the creation of a position for the County Attorney's Office to do debt collections.

YEA: CARPENTER, BROCK, STEVENSON Information Systems Director, Celia Robertson, requested approval from the Board to hire an IT Technician for the department. Unlike counties the size of Jasper County, who employee on average of 3 - 5 IT employees, Jasper County has been limited to 2 employees even though the work load for the department has grown exponentially.

The new technician would be the first contact for all IT help desk needs.

Motion by Brock, seconded by Carpenter, to approve the hiring of an additional person for the IT department.

YEA: CARPENTER, BROCK, STEVENSON Assistant Engineer, Pam Olson, brought to the Supervisors an agreement regarding underground mining activity on road right of way and a resolution dealing with embargoed bridges.

Astrograph

“Wind follows wind,” says the I Ching, and with Mars now flying straight in the realm of Scorpio our nature is both the wind and the wind behind it.

As we keep up our efforts to do as we say and say as we do, major momentum picks up in the Scorpion sea -- the likes of which can sail a ship from shore to shore, continent to continent.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 30). Your heart is true and you express it beautifully, to tender and enthusiastic reception. The best projects have humble beginnings but take root quickly in July. The bare-bones way things start will be in stark contrast to the lavish way they end up in

April 2017. Your involvement in a church or school will open you to good fortune in August.

Capricorn and Virgo adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 39, 30 and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

What’s making it work? What’s holding it up? Your attention to the internal structure will be a theme today. Successful living has a lot to do with being true to the underlying principles of the situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The thing about good timing is that often if you pause to consider the right timing, the timing of that pause messes up

the rhythm. So don’t think. Do fall into the groove.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

What is it about that distracting person in your life who always seems to need the kind of help that has you suddenly snagged into the vortex of his or her world? Such people will try to ensnare you in their personal conundrums today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The best persuasion is barely felt, as soft and consistent as water lapping the shore, carving the landscape. Much will be accomplished with soft words in a firm, confident tone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Clarity of mind will come when the stress is reduced and sense of

freedom is expanded. Getting to that point will require you to be clear in communicating your boundaries and desires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Good sense tells you when to resist a natural attraction and when to yield to it, as resistance is both futile and a waste of your precious energy. You might be surprised at how liberal that “good sense” is today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Today’s interaction has the potential to get confusing. Don’t let it! Understand yourself first, what you’re looking for, what you need from the situation, then turn that understanding outward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You think you should be able to do your work in any state of mind. Well, guess what: That’s an unreasonable belief. The way to achievement is to adjust your attitude and get into the right headspace before you dive in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Who most needs a miracle?

When you focus on that person, your own thinking will become sharp, your purpose will become clear, your selflessness will make it comfortable to be you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How long your current situation is likely to last matters a lot less than what you do with your time. Whether you’ll stay a day, a year or a decade, the way you’ll make a difference is by

SM-NE1589228-0707

REAL ESTATE

focusing on the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

If your project is worthy of you this will be one of your favorite days. So choose carefully. Make it your choice. Don’t kowtow to anyone who emotionally leans on or manipulates you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Try to create solidarity within the group. It won’t be easy, but when you can successfully meld, if only with one person and for a moment, the group will bond and the next three things that happen will be pure magic.

Cardinal softball rallies past Pella in a LHC showdown

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

PELLA — With a late charge, Newton High’s Cardinals turned things around quickly in Wednesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference softball showdown against host Pella’s Lady Dutch. The Class 4A 15th-ranked Cardinals fell behind 6-1 in the first three innings.

Newton rallied for five runs in the sixth for a 6-6 tie with the 4A 13th-ranked Lady Dutch. The Cardinals retired Pella in order in the seventh inning to force the game into extra innings.

Freshman Rilee Slycord delivered the big blow for Newton. With Taylor Ryan on base, Slycord powered out a two-run home run in the top of the eighth to put the Cardinals on top 8-6.

Peyton Maher, who came on in relief of Cardinal starting pitcher Anna Coyle in the third, and the Cardinals set down the Lady Dutch in order again in the eighth for the win.

Coyle gave up four runs on two hits and two walks in two innings and struck out one Pella batter. Maher took over in the third, and allowed two runs in the third. After that, Maher and the Cardinals shut down the Lady Dutch.

changes after the first two innings,” Newton head coach Kristina McNew said. “The girls had a big sixth inning and eighth inning to claim the win.”

Karley Leiker opened the sixth for Newton with a base hit and Maher drew a walk.

With one gone, Ryan drove in a run on a single. Slycord was safe on an error. Adams produced an RBI single followed by a two-run base hit by Fran Lucas.

McNew said Adams and Fran Lucas had a great night at the plate leading the team’s 13-hit attack. Adams had two singles and a double while Fran Lucas, Karley Leiker and Ryan each had two singles.

Slycord had the home run.

Jenkins, Maher and Kennedy Leiker each had a single.

The pitching win went to Maher, who allowed four hits and struck out two. Newton committed five errors in the game.

went in as the courtesy runner for the Cardinal catcher.

Tyler Stanton and Ergenbright had base hits to load the bases.

Sturtz delivered an RBI single, driving in Steinbach.

Stanton scored on the throw in from center field and Ergenbright ended up at third base. Grant Nook’s fielder’s choice allowed Ergenbright to come home to put Newton up 5-1.

Sturtz worked around a one-out single by Pella in the bottom of the sixth. In the seventh inning, the Little Dutch had two on base and no one out, but Sturtz coaxed Ken Tiskevics to fly out to Dodd in center field and Avery Van Zee to foul out to Lee. A ground ball to Gholson at shortstop by Caleb Piersma resulted in the final out of the game.

Ergenbright and Sturtz each had two singles for Newton. Hitting a single each were Lee, Stanton and Nook.

Newton improved to 3-11 in LHC play with four conference games remaining.

The Cardinals (7-16) play a 7:30 p.m. non-conference game Thursday against Des Moines North at Newton’s Eversman Field.

They have a LHC doubleheader Friday at Norwalk.

IndyCar drivers, teams gather information for Iowa Corn 300

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Veteran drivers and rookie drivers alike were helping nine Verizon IndyCar Series racing teams gather information they’ll use to ready for the July 10 Iowa Corn 300 at Iowa Speedway. The 19 drivers put the teams’ cars through their paces on the 7/8-mile track Wednesday in a testing day at Iowa Speedway.

The teams hit the track under cloud cover and cooler temperatures in the morning. They had to stop near a scheduled lunch break for a bit of rain then resumed testing in the afternoon’s warmer conditions.

Stars of the Verizon IndyCar Series — past, present and future — including last year’s Iowa Speedway winner Ryan Hunter-Reay, participated in the team test. All of the teams were represented including Chip Ganassi Racing, Team Penske, Andretti

Autosport, Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, Ed Carpenter Racing, KVSH Racing, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, A.J. Foyt Enterprises and Dale Coyne Racing.

Five of the drivers met with media during the break in testing. Hunter-Reay, 2016 Indy 500 winner and series rookie Alexander Rossi, James Hinchcliffe, Helio Castroneves and Sebastien Bourdais talked about the testing and racing on “The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.”

“It’s always great to be back at Iowa. I really enjoy this race track and it’s certainly one of my favorites. We have a long list of things to get through today, but with four cars and Andretti Autosport, hopefully we’ll start picking through that, hopefully if the rain lets up,” Hunter-Reay said.

Hunter-Reay is the twotime defending Iowa Corn 300 champion. The 2016 edition of the IndyCar Series

stop at Iowa Speedway is the 10th running IndyCar classic sponsored by Iowa Corn.

“I think the track is great,” Rossi said of his first look of the Speedway. “Ovals are very new to me this year, so still trying to figure out the idiosyncrasies of each one, but the initial impressions were very good. I had a lot of fun this morning. Hopefully we can get back out there soon.”

Castroneves has competed in all the IndyCar Series races at Iowa Speedway. He has run some of the fastest laps ever at the track, but never won at Iowa.

“The Hitachi car seems to be out of the box very fast again. As you touched the subject, I haven’t won here yet — always pole position or always in the front,” Castroneves said.

The team test was free and open to the public. Fans watched the test session from their cars or brought their

Lynnville-Sully teams win SICL finales

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s baseball and softball teams notched one-run wins at home against HLV Wednesday. The Hawk baseball team claimed a 5-4 win and the Hawk softball team posted a 4-3 victory as both Lynnville-Sully teams gave up all the runs to the HLV squads in the seventh innings.

It closed out South Iowa Cedar League conference play for the Lynnville-Sully teams. The Hawk softball squad is 9-6 for third in the SICL ranks and 14-15 overall. In the SICL baseball standings, the Hawk boys are 13-3 for second place and stand at 14-7 overall.

Lynnville-Sully senior Kasiah Ehresman is making history every time she steals a base. On Saturday, Ehresman stole her 200th career base against BCLUW at the Marshalltown softball tournament.

Ehresman tacked on two more stolen bases in Wednesday’s win over HLV to push her career total to 204. According to Jason Eslinger, Assistant Director at the Iowa Girls High School Union, Ehresman is the seventh player in state history to record 200 career stolen bases.

Ehresman hit two singles in Wednesday’s home game and scored two runs. Lynnville-Sully used the middle innings to score four runs — one each in the third and fifth frames and two in the fourth.

Makenzy Rozendaal hit two singles for the Hawk girls. Brenna Lanser doubled and Carson Fisk singled.

Fisk was the winning pitcher, throwing a complete game. She gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out one.

Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team scored three runs in the first inning and two in the second. The Hawks carried a 5-0 lead into the seventh, when it gave up four runs.

Elijah Collins got the pitching victory. Collins allowed three runs on four hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings of work. Josh Dunsbergen notched the save as he pitched 2/3 of an inning, giving up one run on one hit and one walk and striking one out.

Caden Dunsbergern hit two singles and Dylan Rozenboom doubled. Hitting a single each were Tyler Van Zante and Carson Dunsbergen.

Lynnville-Sully’s softball team finishes the regular season at Friday’s Carlisle tournament. It hosts Southeast Warren at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Class 1A Region 6 play.

The Hawk baseball team plays a 6 p.m. non-conference game Tuesday at Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News It doesn’t matter if it is second, third or home for Lynnville-Sully senior Kasiah Ehresman. She will steal a base against opponents. She reached the 200-career stolen base mark Saturday and has 53 stolen bases this season.
