FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2016 • WHERE TO GO WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Newton Correctional Facility includes both the minimum-security Correctional Release Center, shown here, and a medium-security facility. Kris Weitzell took over as warden of the entire complex in April.

Move-in of sex offender program a major focus When Kris Weitzell took over as warden of the Newton Correctional Facility in April, it wasn’t as if she was taking over at a place unfamiliar to her.

Weitzell was the warden at NCF for about nine years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, overseeing the prison while the new medium-security buildings were constructed and opened in 1997.

Though she sees plenty of new faces among the staff who weren’t in Newton when she departed in December of 2005, the 30-year veteran of the Iowa Department of Corrections knows her way around the facility.

“We have great staff here — both the long-timers and the newer folks,” Weitzell said. “And our goal is to assist with positive change.”

Weitzell was appointed as warden of both the Newton medium-security and minimum-security Correctional Release Center sites by the Iowa Board of Corrections at its April board meeting. She took over slightly

site work detail privileges and programming such as training dogs for the Jasper County Animal Rescue League or as Puppy Jake veterans service animals.

Even though there have been three escape-related incidents at the CRC this year, Weitzell said those are few and far in between.

She said the department’s goals have always been to reduce the number of people harmed by the inmates in the custody — not simply while they’re at a DOC facility, but also for the rest of their lives.

“We don’t want there to be any more victims once each offender returns to his community,” Weitzell said. “A strong support system is critical to that.”

As of Saturday, the Newton Medium Facility had 942 inmates, or 180 above capacity, while the CRC had 269, or 17 above its capacity. The daily statistics shown on www.doc.state. ia.us show the statewide total of 8,177 inmates is about 11 percent over the maximum number the facilities are designed to house.

Quarry Springs to celebrate grand opening July 23

Jasper County Conservation organized the evening by providing all supplies for a $5 registration fee and were completely booked before the event took place.

boat when they arrived — go through a quick tutorial if needed — and be on the lake within minutes of showing up.

Greg Oldsen, naturalist for the conservation department, was one of many in charge of helping visitors get signed in and into the water so they could enjoy one of the newest outdoor features in

Colfax. The conservation department hosts regular canoe and kayak events throughout central Iowa during the summer and heard Quarry Springs Park was interested in holding an event at the lake.

“We just like to get people out into the parks and get them involved and expose them to some of the areas we have in Jasper

County,” Oldsen said.

“I came out here before with my own personal kayak and I’ve been fishing here so this park is pretty neat.”

Metro Creative Courtrooms will still be used when juvenile delinquency hearings are held, but beginning Friday, Iowa defense attorneys can asked for closed hearings to correspond with a tighter confidential records law. SF 2288 is one of many new Iowa laws going into effect July 1.

$1.2M project slated for North Fourth Avenue West

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Newton City Council will consider another major road work project on Tuesday.

North Fourth Avenue West between West Eight Street North and West 15th Street North recently went out to

bid and is ready for the council’s decision on who will do the work.

The reconstruction will consist of a new concrete pavement that is 31 feet wide from the curb to curb, adding six feed to the existing street. The added width will allow for parking on the south side of the street.

New sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of the street. Currently there are no sidewalks on the street.

WHERE IT’S AT

A number of new of changed laws passed by the Iowa Legislature during its 2016 session and signed by Gov. Terry Branstad will take effect Friday.

One of those laws is SF 2288, which makes more juvenile records confidential. Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen clarified some aspects of this law, which will make it tougher to find out background information on juveniles, but will also not tie adults as strongly to their pasts.

“The law will make almost all juvenile-delinquency (criminal) cases confidential and not a public record,” Jacobsen said. “I have advised law

enforcem e n t s i m i larly as to what they can disclose to the p r e s s and the Jacobsen public.”

Jacobsen said delinquency proceedings are public hearings and will remain open to the public unless a judge closes a hearing upon request.

He anticipates defense attorneys will routinely request closed hearings to prevent information from now-confidential records from being disclosed in court.

Open cases that were considered public on June 30 will be considered confidential on July 1.

“I don’t know how (each) court might rule in those cases,” Jacobsen said.

In Brief Mercy College of Health Sciences announces honors lists DES MOINES — Area students have been named to the president’s and dean’s lists for the Spring 2016 semester at Mercy College of Health Sciences in Des Moines.

Named the president’s list were Katelyn Buehrer, of Colfax, Chandra Snow, of Colfax, Amanda Bower, of Newton and Jody Gritters, of Prairie City. To qualify for this academic recognition, students must attain a grade point average of at least 3.75 or higher, in their most recent semester.

On the dean’s list were Kodi Pierce, and Paige Reed, both of Newton. To qualify for this academic recognition, students must attain a grade point average between 3.50 and 3.749, in their most recent semester.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Katie Cantu of Jasper County Conservation assists girls who are painting as part of last week’s Princess Adventures day camp, where girls were encouraged to dress up like princesses while learning about astronomy and other science.

Princess Adventures go beyond Earth, solar system Conservation program allows for fun, science education

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News You don’t have to look hard to find entertainment with a princess theme targeting young girls.

Education about astronomy, biology and other sciences, on the other hand, are not usually associated with pink dresses, glitter and tiaras.

That’s where Katie Cantu comes in. The Jasper County Conservation naturalist has developed some programming designed to captivate younger, female students in order to cover a wide array of conservation and earth-related science topics.

Last week’s Princess Adventures day camp, held at the Newton Arboretum, was a part of that effort.

“When I started working for Jasper County 15 years ago, our summer camp participants were mostly boys,” Cantu said. “Today, we have just as many girls as boys — if not more — attend camps. I’m always thrilled when I hear of girls in our area who are going on to college to study

in science fields, and especially those getting jobs in the conservation field.”

Princess Adventures is a twoday camp that encourages girls to learn more about science while being encouraged to dress up like a princess. The program begins with a short talk about a famous woman conservationist or scientist and how each one made a difference in a field of science.

Even though the camp technically had a capacity of 10, the seven energetic, early-elementary-age girls who showed up for the camp required Cantu to keep up a fast pace of activities.

“We had a couple of packed mornings,” Cantu said. “My goal is to get them excited and having fun outside at a young age, and hopefully, draw them in to our other programs when they are older.”

This year, the camp focused on two women who were pioneers in their fields.

Thursday’s focus was Maria Mitchell, who discovered a comet in 1847 and later became a professor at Vassar College.

The Maria Mitchell Observatory in Nantucket, Mass., is named in her honor. Planets, solar systems and galaxies were discussed.

Friday, the group learned about Joy Adamson, a naturalist who married an African game warden best-known for rehabilitating a lion cub named Elsa when the mother lion was shot in 1956. She wrote “Born Free” and a pair of follow-up books, rehabilitated many other African animals, founded a major wildlife conservation foundation and was an international presenter on wildlife preservation.

The girls participated in crafts and activities related to these areas of science using everyday classroom supplies such as paint, glue and glitter.

There was also a tea party with a themed snack.

“The Princess Adventure girls come with so much energy and excitement,” Cantu said.

“We really have a lot of fun.”

While overcrowding and staffing levels have been addressed at the labor union and state legislature level, Weitzell declined to comment when asked what she thinks about staffing levels. The DOC has said it will not comment on staffing levels, and that its use of available space for inmates is “constantly under review.”

The department’s sex-offender treatment program is in the process of moving to Newton’s medium-security complex after many years at the Mount Pleasant medium-security correctional facility.

Weitzell said training for the staff associated with that program is extensive. She expects to have more to report about sex-offender treatment in about four months.

The warden reminded the public inmates are not typically housed in the county where they grew up, lived and/ or committed crimes, and are unlikely to be paroled directly into communities such as Newton that are close to their prison facility.

“Once in a while, an offender is released into a different community than where they were from,” Weitzell said.

“But that’s discussed on a case-by-case basis, just as other supports are addressed. Work skills, family support, sometimes 12-step program needs — it’s all important to an individual.”

Government agencies, parents and guardians of accused minors, school superintendents or their designees and alleged victims of the delinquent act will still have access to these records, but the general public and media will not have access.

An exception is made for cases that allege a forcible felony.

Records for these cases will still be open to the public.

Records can also be released to the public if the whereabouts of a juvenile are unknown and their safety is in question.

Here are some of the other Iowa laws going into effect as of Friday: SF 453: Allows greater patient access to medical services through “telehealth,” or health communications done by computer or phone.

“The interest level was well demonstrated and those who did participate enjoyed it,” Garrett said.

“We had several people asking when we’d do it again.”

Besides signing waivers, participants only needed to bring themselves as the conservation department provided the boats, paddles and lifejackets.

All boats were booked before the event took place last week, and because of the high interest level shown by guests, Garrett

services,” said Brett Altman, President and CEO of Skiff Medical Center. “Telehealth can be used across a large number of applications in health care to deliver care at a lower cost while simultaneously improving quality.”

HF 2278: Establishes an office within the Department of Public Safety to oversee and coordinate efforts to combat human trafficking and also extend the statute of limitations for kidnapping and trafficking.

SF 2218: Allows emergency medical professionals to obtain a supply of opioid antagonists (such as Narcan), to be administered in the event of a drug overdose.

“Emergency medical services staff are on the front lines of the growing epidemic of opioid abuse and overdosing occurring across the nation and in Iowa,” Altman said. “It is important to arm these first responders with the tools they need to save lives.”

HF 493: Prohibits cities or counties from enacting ordinances that penalize a resident

who calls for emergency assistance if the person who made the call reasonably believes it was necessary.

SF 2301: Allows tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations to open and contribute to 529 college savings plans for individual beneficiaries.

HF 2279: Makes Iowa the 42nd state to allow the sale, use and possession and sale of firearm suppressors.

HF 2385: Establishes fine penalties of as much as $3,000 for illegal dumping, including $1,000 for a first offense.

HF 2283: Establishes the conditions where a person can legally possess a firearm while out on a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle.

HF 2401: Creates a separate set of felonies for anyone attempting to fraudulently obtain a credit card in the name of a minor.

HF 2420: Calls for the Iowa Department of Justice to carry out a plan to survey the number and nature of untested sexual abuse evidence collection kits

around the state.

HF 2437: Changes rules for minors and driving privileges, most notably allowing for cellphone usage if the hardware is permanently installed in a vehicle as well as addressing conditions for the number of passengers in a vehicle and the destinations permitted.

HF 2266: Ensures unclaimed cremated remains of a military veteran get a proper burial at a state or federal veterans cemetery.

HF 2064: Creates a new offense of third-degree robbery as an aggravated misdemeanor for crimes that don’t rise to the existing felony categories and extends the statute of limitations for child endangerment.

HF 2185: Creates a new crime for “peeping toms,” prohibiting viewing, photographing or videotaping people who have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Council Continued from Page 1A The Iowa Department of Transportation, which put the project out for bid, received five bids, the lowest coming from Manatts, Inc. of Brooklyn at just more than $1.2 million.

North Fourth Avenue West is a federal-aid classified road and qualified to receive Surface Transportation Programs funds in the amount of 80 percent of the project. The city is responsible for 20 percent of the project to be paid from the 2015 bond proceeds.

Two new projects for the Downtown Micro-Grant Program will also be presented to council on Tuesday. Applications were received from Marshall and Dusty Clements and Ed and Laurie Siddall for their properties in the downtown area.

The Clements requested funds for their property at 209 N. Second Ave. W. to remove the non-historic facade and take steps towards improving the aesthetics and functionality of the property.

The Siddalls are looking to replace the front door on their building at 302 First Ave. W. Both applications were approved

said Jasper County Conservation is interested in possibly organizing wildlife educational sessions at the 480-acre park during the school year as well.

Quarry Springs, located on Highway 117 near Interstate 80, opened to the public last month offering fishing, hiking and camping. The park’s grand opening celebration is scheduled for July 23. A kids fishing derby from 9 to 11 a.m. will kick off the event followed by a freewill donation lunch. Iowa Department of Natural Resources speakers will address the crowds before a nature hike is led through the land.

Iowa DNR reminds boaters to help stop aquatic hitchhikers The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is reminding boaters and anglers to check for unwanted hitchhikers on their boats and equipment this Fourth of July to help protect Iowa lakes and streams.

Aquatic hitchhikers are invasive species — everything from zebra mussels to Eurasian watermilfoil — that are transported from one waterbody to another by hitchhiking on boats, in bait buckets and other equipment used in the water.

“Boaters and anglers can unintentionally transport aquatic hitchhikers if they do not take the proper precautions to prevent their spread,” said Kim

Bogenschutz, aquatic invasive species coordinator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

When brought to another lake or stream, aquatic invasive species often grow quickly and spread rapidly due to lack of natural controls. They can create serious problems for Iowa waters by reducing native species and making lakes and rivers unusable by boaters, anglers and swimmers.

“The best way to control the negative impacts of aquatic invasive species in Iowa is to prevent their spread to new waterbodies,” Bogenschutz said.

Boaters and anglers need to

clean, drain and dry their boat and equipment after each time on the water.

• CLEAN any plants, animals or mud from your boat and equipment before leaving a waterbody.

• DRAIN water from all equipment (motor, live well, bilge, transom well) before leaving a waterbody.

• DRY anything that comes into contact with water (boats, trailers, equipment, boots, clothing, dogs). Before transporting to another waterbody either: Spray your boat and trailer with hot, high-pressure water; or dry your boat and equipment for at least five days.

Gone fishin’ ... again I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

t’s a warm, quiet morning other than the sounds of the chirping insects, bees buzzing and the occasional frog’s croak. The sun glints and gleams off the silvery shine of the water as it laps against the bank. I extend my arm back, a firm grip on the handle. Then in one motion, I propel my arm forward, hitting the release button at the proper time and watch my lure sail through the air making a satisfying plunk as it hits the water. The reel clicks as I begin twirling the handle to bring my line back to shore, hoping to attract a fish on it’s way back to me.

As I lift my lure from the water with only moss attached, I feel a twinge of disappointment at not getting a bite. I clean the lure and prepare to cast again, ready for my day at the lake to continue with renewed hope the fish will soon begin to bite.

I have always enjoyed fishing, but I had set my pole aside for many years before dusting off my old skills to see if I love it as much as an adult as I did as a kid. My boyfriend is a fisherman, and knowing this, I suggested we spend a day at the lake for the Iowa DNR free fishing weekend at the beginning of June.

I was hooked — pardon the pun — even though I struck out on that first day at the lake. Tim was teaching me how to lure fish, which I never did in my youth.

Fishing was something I always did with my Grandpa and Grandma Rodgers — catching bullheads my grandma loved to cook. We would have picnic days at the lake with my siblings, parents and my uncle. Other times it would

be a smaller group, finding a secluded fishing hole in Tama County — nightcrawlers in tow. We’d toss our baited hooks in the water and wait for a bite.

Lure fishing is quite a bit different, so that first day I was just learning what speed I needed to use to get the spoon to spin or the rapala to flutter. I had just one bite that first day, but nonetheless, I wanted to go back and try again.

I secured my fishing license the next week — sending a picture to Tim to let him know I was serious about wanting to go again.

On our next fishing expedition, we found ourselves at Rock Creek State Park, near Kellogg. I have fuzzy memories of visiting the lake as a kid. Everything seemed familiar yet different at the same time. It is a wonderful place to fish, with plenty of jetties to fish from and the option of renting a boat. It’s also the place I finally caught a fish.

I felt like I was getting the hang of lure fishing. Tim assured me I was doing things right, so I knew eventually I

was going to get a fish. I could see the spoon spinning as it neared the bank.

Out of nowhere, a bass emerged and went for my lure. I struck the line and hooked him. I reeled him to shore, feeling proud I had successfully caught a fish. The fish flopped himself off the hook. I picked him up, posed for a picture, then returned him to the lake. My first catch in 15 years.

Tim, of course, always has better luck than I do. I think between all of our fishing trips he’s caught 11 fish to my two, but who’s counting? However, I caught the largest fish, a nice-sized freshwater drum that is probably my biggest catch ever.

We have visited Mariposa County Park and the Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve as well. Such lovely places to go, right here in Jasper County. I can’t wait for our next fishing trip — Tim’s going to get me out in his boat for the first time. Wish me luck.

So Anyway Dana King

Vacation vs. stay-cation Much like any kid the last few days of the school year, my mind is struggling to stay on task.

I have some vacation days in my very near future and although I don’t actually plan to go anywhere, I’m anxious for my “stay-cation” to begin.

(I have a throbbing in my leg. Hope it’s not a blood clot.)

I have tentative plans for my time away from the office. I say “tentative” because I certainly don’t want to commit to anything that I may not be in the mood to do when the time comes.

(A chocolate ice cream cone right about now would be awesome.)

I need to strip wallpaper in my dining room and the one remaining wall in my living room. But that was on my list last year during some time off. So ... yeah.

(Why is it, just when I think the world is going great for my kids, and they’re all happy at the same time ... one of them has to hit a speed bump in life? Never fails.)

The hubby’s three-days off during my week away from the office fall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and I told him not to be deciding on places for us to go. He seems to think I need to be entertained and we need a change of scenery when on vacation. For me, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a homebody through and through. Just give me my porch swing, my Kindle and my coffee.

Call me boring. Call me dull. Call me routine. What I actually am is content.

(Our water bill didn’t increase as much as I was expecting after turning the sprinkler on the garden so often. Oooh ... I can’t wait for my tomatoes.)

When we were raising our family, it was exciting to pack up the camper, leave our jobs and worries behind and take off for what was sure to be a week of stress-free fun and plenty of adventure. Well, isn’t that what we all think BEFORE we leave home?

(I need to convince the hubs it’s time to rip out the carpeting and install new flooring on the main floor at home. Oh, new furniture too.)

Let me tell you a little about one of our family vacations ... most notably, our “vacation from hell.”

Without going in to great detail, it involved blowing a tire on the camper near No-wheres-ville, somewhere in Missouri and having to put on the spare tire on the side of Interstate 35, only to have our spare do the same thing several miles further down the road. We limped our way to a motel in Chillicothe, Mo., where we ruined the freshly asphalted parking lot at a Comfort Inn when our Jeep leaked gas all over the new pavement. My distraught hubby had to not only find a new tire for the camper, but also locate and have a new gas tank delivered to the motel. He then had to crawl underneath the vehicle in 95 degree heat to change it himself, because it was quicker than waiting on an appointment at the car dealership.

To be honest, I’m not sure where we even went that year. But the two-day journey to travel those first 150 miles, I’ll never forget.

(I’m not sure I would enjoy riding a roller-coaster anymore. Used to love them, but now, I’d probably end up at the chiropractor’s office.)

Yep, a stay-cation is just what I need, and I can’t wait to get started.

Obituaries Gordon L. Enyart

said, “we want you,” and with that he was drafted into the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton near San Diego, Calif., where he served as a cook and baker for two years. After his discharge in 1953, Gordon and Shirley settled on the Neff family farm southeast of Prairie City, where he dedicated his life in the fields cultivating crops and tending to livestock, earning the Wallaces Farmer Master Farmer Award in 1977.

Gordon was a humble servant to his family, friends, church and community. He was a long-standing member of the Prairie City United Methodist Church serving in many roles, but his favorites included serving as a Sunday school teacher and superintendent, as well as a Missions Committee member. Gordon served two terms on the Monroe school board, 39 years on the Central Iowa Rural Water Association Board, 62 years with the American Le-

June 29, 2016 Gordon Lowell Enyart was born July 16, 1929, and entered heaven from his farm home on June 29, 2016, after a hard fought battle with cancer. Gordon was born to Esten and Mildred (English) Enyart southwest of Prairie City, and that was to be his home for the next 21 years. Gordon attended the Yaeger one room schoolhouse before graduating from Prairie City High School in 1947. On Feb. 16, 1951, he married the love of his life, Shirley (Jennings) Enyart, with whom he celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this past year. In August 1951, Uncle Sam pointed his finger and

gion, several years as a township trustee, 45 years as a member of Preston Lodge #218 and served as Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Iowa during the years of 1999-2000. His family and friends knew Gordon as the “Candy Man,” preparing and delivering 100+ plates of candy each year at Christmas time. No stranger did he meet, that did not soon become his friend.

Gordon is survived by his wife Shirley; son Douglas (Kathleen) Enyart of Monroe, and daughter Doreen (Michael) Pearson of Ankeny; grandson Scott (Kristin) Enyart of Pella; granddaughters, Andrea (Christopher) Dana of Pella, Michelle (Benjamin) Cole of Urbandale, and Beth (Robert) Baetzel of Alsip, Ill.; eight great-grandchildren, Hannah and Zoe Enyart, Anderson and Leilani Dana, Sarah and Maryn Cole and Matthew and Peyton Baetzel; and sister, Eunice (Robert) Jen-

nings and family. He is preceded in death by his parents, Esten and Mildred Enyart.

To honor, celebrate and remember a life well lived, a visitation will be from 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 5 at the Prairie City United Methodist Church, with the family present from 5 to 8 p.m., followed by a Masonic service at 8 p.m. The memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 6 at the Prairie City United Methodist Church, followed by internment at the Waveland Cemetery in Prairie City. You are welcome to join the family for a luncheon at the church.

Teen sees trouble in photo of shirtless young cousins

DEAR ABBY: I’m concerned about a photo my uncle posted to Facebook.

It features my two female cousins, ages 6 and 2, shirtless. I know no harm was intended in posting the photo, as they are both adorable girls. However, I find it inappropriate that the 6-year-old — who is going into first grade — was shirtless in the photo. Now that it is on the internet, it could be easily seen by a pedophile.

How do I express my concern to my uncle about this without coming off like I am trying to parent for him?

I’m only 17 and don’t want to overstep my boundaries, but as a caring family member, I am concerned. — NIECE IN COLORADO DEAR NIECE: Because you are nervous about approaching your uncle about this, consider discussing your concerns with the children’s mother. If your uncle is a single parent, then mention it to your own parents and, if they agree with you, ask them to mention to your uncle that his semi-nude pictures on the web may endanger his daughters.

P.S. Your uncle should be made aware that he can customize his account settings and make his profile private. That way, only family and selected close friends will be able to see his timeline.

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor is taking care of her grandchildren. She seems responsible and the courts have allowed her to be their foster mother.

Her own children not only steal, but are also physically abusive. The court ordered the mother of the kids (my neighbor’s daughter) to have no contact with them. Their father is in prison.

I am friendly with this neighbor and her grandchildren. I wish I had a way to tell her that her constant shouting and screaming at the kids is unhealthy.

How can I help this family and these little ones? Should I just come out and say what’s on my mind — that yelling at them undermines their self-esteem and does no good whatsoever? — KIND NEIGHBOR IN MICHIGAN DEAR KIND NEIGHBOR:

Have a chat with your neighbor about it, if you can manage it without coming across as judgmental (i.e., accusing her of “undermining their self-esteem”).

When you do, tell her you know she is carrying a lot of responsibility on her shoulders and she may be yelling because she’s stressed. Then offer to watch the grandchildren for her once or twice a month, so she can have some quiet time for herself. If you do, you would be doing her and her grandchildren a great favor.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 28 and have been a licensed practical nurse since 2007. Although I’ve been a nurse for nine years, I feel incompetent and like I haven’t learned much over the years. I pray every day I go to work that no serious situations arise because I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle them correctly. Many people have suggested I further my education and become an RN, but I feel it would be a waste because I don’t feel smart enough. What should I do? — WARY IN OHIO DEAR WARY: I think you should challenge yourself and take some of those classes to further your education.

If you do well in them, continue. If not, you can look for another line of work then.

However, before you do anything else, please talk with a licensed mental health professional to get to the reasons for your low self-esteem. Those feelings of inadequacy may be what are holding you back and preventing you from enjoying the important work you do.

Iowa woman

MASON CITY— A judge has lifted his pregnancy ban on a north Iowa woman convicted of child endangerment for shaking her infant son in 2014. That move comes only after the Iowa Court of Appeals last month deemed the ban unconstitutional. Judge James Drew lifted the ban on Tuesday. Stephanie Fatland had appealed her child endangerment convictions and challenged her sentence of five years’ probations. Among the conditions of probation was an order prohibiting her from becoming pregnant during probation.

Deliberations to resume in Emmet County slaying

Players have shot at $415 million Mega Millions prize

ESTHERVILLE — Jurors are expected to resume deliberations Friday in the slaying of an Emmet County man. Closing arguments were delivered Thursday and Lee Christensen’s case was turned over to jurors.

The 19-year-old is charged with first-degree murder, accused of shooting to death 19-year-old Thomas Bortvit on June 6 last year at the Christensen farm in the Estherville area. Defense attorneys acknowledged that Christensen killed Bortvit but argued it was a killing in the heat of passion.

DES MOINES — Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing will give lottery players a shot at the 10th largest jackpot in U.S. history.

Because no one has won a Mega Millions jackpot since March 8, the prize has steadily grown to an estimated $415 million. That makes it the largest jackpot since a $430 million Powerball prize won by a New Jersey family May 7.

Collision kills three in east-central Iowa MARENGO — Three people have been killed and three more have been injured in a head-on collision in east-central Iowa.

The collision occurred around 6:40 p.m.

Thursday on the south side of Marengo, just south of U.S. Highway 6. The Iowa State Patrol says a sport utility vehicle started to go onto the road shoulder and its driver overcorrected and crossed the center line, hitting an oncoming car. A 42-year-old woman, a 14-year-old child and an 11-year-old were pronounced dead.

Murder conviction based on jailhouse informant overturned

Des Moines schools seek volunteers to read with kids DES MOINES (AP) — Hundreds of volunteers are needed to read with children once school starts this fall, and Des Moines Public Schools is going door to door to find them.

This month, volunteers passed out fliers and talked with homeowners in an effort to recruit community members to work with students before, during or after school.

“We know that’s a pivotal point for our kids, where there’s a point where you learn to read and a point where you read to learn,” said Cindy Elsbernd, a Des Moines school board member.

The canvassing expects to reach 10,000 homes by the end of the month, said Connie Boesen, a school board member who helped organize the outreach.

The push comes as schools prepare for a state law aimed at improve reading proficiency. Legislation will require students who are below grade level to repeat third grade or attend an intensive summer reading program before moving on to fourth grade.

Gov. Terry Branstad recently signed a one-year delay this summer as part of the education appropriations legislation. It will begin in 2018, giving schools and students more time to prepare.

That includes efforts such as the United Way of Central Iowa’s Read to Succeed program, which pairs volunteers with schools in Dallas, Polk and Warren counties.

“We’re trying to level the playing field for our students,” said Barb Bremner, executive director of Polk County Early Childhood Iowa.

Temperatures rose into the 90s on Saturday as the volunteer group knocked on doors. A handful of homeowners offered to share pamphlets at work or signed up for an email list.

“Hey, it’s better than pollsters,” joked Paul Rathjen, an intern architect at Shive-Hattery, after hearing about the volunteer outreach effort. “It’s a good idea.”

Nathan Peterson, a bartender at Trostel’s Dish, agreed.

“The one-on-one time is important,” he said. “It’s a good outreach.”

A light rain began to fall as the humidity broke, and volunteers made their way back to their cars.

“I think it’s important as a community that we all take a role in supporting our kids,” Kelli Soyer said before passing out fliers.

Louisa Dykstra, also part of the canvass, nodded.

“I want to live in a community where everybody can read.”

By David Pitt The Associated Press

DES MOINES — A man convicted in the 2009 shooting death of an Iowa City apartment complex landlord must get a new trial because jurors may have relied on the testimony of a jailhouse informant who was working with police to get information, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday.

A split 4-3 court decision upholds the notion that information gathered by jailhouse informants violates a defendant’s rights when the informant is working on behalf of police or prosecutors to specifically elicit information about a crime.

A majority of justices concluded Justin Marshall’s Sixth Amendment right to an attorney was violated.

In Marshall’s case the court points out there was no physical evidence or eyewitnesses against him and the case centered on jailhouse informants.

One of the informants, Antonio Martin, was convicted in federal court on charges of cocaine distribution and possession of a firearm to commit drug trafficking. Martin had previously received a sentence reduction for working with federal prosecutors in drug cases.

After being placed in a cell

next to Marshall in the Muscatine County jail, he convinced Marshall to write down his side of the story. In the handwritten note Marshall admitted to shooting John Versypt, the landlord of the Broadway Condominiums complex in Iowa City, but claimed it was an accident. Marshall indicated he hoped his version of events would result in a charge less serious than first-degree murder.

The case presented the challenge for the court to decide when a jailhouse informant becomes an agent of the police or prosecutors and in effect violates a defendant’s right to have an attorney present during questioning.

“As the recent work of the Innocence Project demonstrates, jailhouse informants have played a significant role in convicting innocent persons,” Justice Brent Appel wrote for the majority. He said the reliability issues associated with informants pose a particular problem as they are often used in cases in which the state has little direct evidence.

The majority of four justices concluded Martin was working on behalf of investigators in hopes of getting a more lenient sentence and worked to get Marshall to give up information about the shooting.

The court ordered the case sent back to district court for a new

trial excluding Martin’s testimony.

Three justices disagreed and said Martin was not acting as an agent of the government and the conviction should be upheld. In the dissenting opinion Justice Edward Mansfield said Marshall volunteered the information to Martin.

“Where a defendant unwisely spills his guts in the presence of a third party who simply serves as a passive listener to a heartfelt confession, literally does nothing to elicit the statement, and was simply in the right place at the right time, there is very little rationale for suppressing the evidence on right to counsel grounds,” he wrote. “Jail is not a pure, pristine environment. Its occupants therefore run the risk that persons with whom they are sharing confidences may be, in common parlance, ‘snitches.’ “ A spokesman for the Iowa Attorney General’s office representing prosecutors declined to comment.

Marshall’s attorney, Kent Simmons, said his client was just 19 and the jailhouse informants who were much older and experienced in the criminal system used him to try to get lighter sentences. He said Marshall wrote down what Martin told him to write to get charged with a lesser crime.

Owner of beauty schools settle suit with AG DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The owner of six cosmetology schools in Iowa will forgive some student debt, pay a fine and submit to outside oversight to settle a lawsuit filed by the Iowa attorney general’s office.

La’ James International Colleges agreed to forgive $2.1 million

in student debt and pay a $550,000 fine. The settlement also requires former U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt to serve at least three years as an independent settlement administrator who can oversee the company’s compliance.

Northey encourages farmers to update hay directory DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today encouraged Iowa hay and straw producers to register or update their listing on the Iowa Hay and Straw Directory. The directory lists Iowa producers with hay and straw for sale, as well as organizations and businesses associated with promoting and marketing quality hay and straw.

“The directory has been a great tool for both buyers and sellers and we hope farmers will take the time to review and update their information so that it remains a valuable resource,” Northey said. “This directory can serve as a critical link for those producing hay and those looking to buy, so we encourage Iowans to take advantage of this free directory.”

The listing is available to interested buyers throughout the nation, however only sellers from within Iowa can be included on the list.

Names are gathered throughout the year with added emphasis now that hay harvest has started. Sections within the Hay and Straw Directory include “Forage for Sale,” “Forage Auctions,”

“Hay Associations,” “Forage Dealers,” “Hay Grinders” and “Custom Balers.”

Farmers interested in listing should visit the Department’s website at www.

IowaAgriculture.gov. An application form can be found by going to the “Bureaus” link and then selecting “Agricultural Diversification and Market Development.” Then click on “Hay & Straw Directory” on the right side of the page under “Directories.”

For those without internet access, please call the Hay/Straw Hotline at 800-383-5079. The Department will fax or send a printed copy of the application to be filled out.

The Department is also supporting the Iowa Crop Improvement Association’s “Iowa Noxious Weed Seed Free Forage and Mulch Certification Program.” Through this program Iowa forage and mulch producers can take advantage of many emerging market opportunities for “Certified Weed Free” products. For more specific information on this program producers should contact the Iowa Crop Improvement Association at 515-2946921.

Pro Mazda stop at Iowa Speedway is canceled Newton Daily News A lower than anticipated field has forced Andersen Promotions and Iowa Speedway to cancel the 100-lap race originally scheduled as a prelude to the Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 on July 10. The announcement came late Thursday afternoon.

“We are truly disappointed that the Pro Mazda race had to be canceled,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said. “First and foremost though, we owe it to our fans, partners and industry stakeholders to host world-class racing events. Thankfully, we still have two great races on our Sunday schedule, with the Indy Lights and IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 returning to ‘The Fastest Short Track on the Planet.’”

The schedule for next weekend at Iowa Speedway will be adjusted to maximize on-track activity for race-goers.

The drivers in the Indy Lights Iowa Challenge presented by Cooper Tires will participate in a full-field autograph session in the IndyCar Fan Village from 11:30 a.m. to noon on July 9. In addition

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News The Pro Mazda 100 for July 10 at Iowa Speedway has been canceled. There were a low number of cars in the field for the lower tier of IndyCar racing for the upcoming race. The Pro Mazda cars were on the Iowa track a year ago as part of a three-race show by IndyCar. The Indy Lights Iowa Challenge and the Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 are on July 10 as scheduled.

to collecting autographs, fans may receive giveaway items from Andersen Promotions.

“I want to thank (Iowa Speedway President) Jimmy Small for giving us the option to move our race off of next weekend’s schedule,” Dan Andersen, owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions, said.

“Iowa Speedway produces some great oval racing, and it is unfortunate that we didn’t have what we felt was a viable car count to meet not only

the track’s expectations but the fans as well. At this stage we will look forward to what is a pivotal round in the Indy Lights championship on July 10 and a return for Pro Mazda in 2017.”

The autograph session will afford fans an opportunity to meet the open-wheel stars of tomorrow. Indy Lights has produced some of IndyCar’s biggest names including current stars Marco Andretti, Helio Castroneves, Scott Dix-

on and Tony Kanaan. Spencer Pigot is the most recent Indy Lights champion to advance to the Verizon IndyCar Series and will compete for Ed Carpenter Racing in the Iowa Corn 300.

The Indy Lights Iowa Challenge presented by Cooper Tires will take place at 2:15 p.m. on July 10 leading up to the Verizon IndyCar Series feature race — the Iowa Corn 300 — at 4:35 p.m.

In addition to Sunday’s

open wheel races, Iowa Speedway will host the ARCA Racing Series Iowa 150 presented

by Casey’s General Stores on July 9.

Following the ARCA race, country music duo LOCASH will take to the Speedway’s Pork Party Pavilion for the second installment of the NAPA Auto Parts Concert Series. Fans with tickets to the July 9 and /or July 10 race days will be admitted to the concourse for the concert.

Rain shortens local sports slate

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Rain needed in the Newton area came at an inopportune time for area high school softball and baseball teams Thursday. Only one of the eight scheduled games were played.

Colfax-Mingo’s baseball team played one of a scheduled doubleheader with visiting Moravia. The Tigerhawk boys lost a slugfest with the Mohawks, 12-9.

The Tigerhawks led 4-1 after one inning, and the fireworks continued throughout the contest. The Mohawks forged a 9-9 tie heading into the seventh inning.

Moravia scored three runs in the top of the seventh then held Colfax-Mingo scoreless in the bottom of the inning. No details on the game were available at presstime.

Newton High’s baseball team was to have played at home against Des Moines North Thursday. Cardinal head coach Dustin Brisel said they were working on trying to reschedule the non-conference game with the Polar Bears.

The Cardinal baseball team wraps up its Little Hawkeye Conference action Friday. It plays at doubleheader starting at 5:30 p.m. against host Norwalk.

Newton High’s softball team was at Urbandale, and its games were washed out. The Cardinal varsity will play at Urbandale at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Also on Thursday, Colfax-Mingo’s softball team was to have played a doubleheader at home against Moravia but the rain postponed action. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s softball and baseball teams’ Heart of Iowa Conference game at Saydel were washed out.

CMB’s baseball team is at Woodward-Granger and the Raider softball team hosts Ogden Friday night. Prairie City-Monroe’s baseball and softball squads are at Gilbert Friday.

Colfax-Mingo softball is at Colo-NESCO and the Tigerhawk baseball team hosts Melcher-Dallas.

Lynnville-Sully softball is at a tournament in Carlisle Friday.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Peyton Maher (49) and the Newton High Cardinal softball team did not get to play at Urbandale Thursday because of rain. The varsity game has been rescheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at Urbandale.

And we’re back folks A

couple of days in my native Kansas and a few days breathing in some Rocky Mountain air at my aunt and uncle’s home in Colorado, and I’m good to go again.

There’s plenty of athletic action on the local front with high school softball and baseball teams wrapping up regular season play. Those teams head to postseason action starting next week for softball and the end of the week for baseball.

Iowa Speedway is gearing up for its second weekend of racing July 9-10 with ARCA stock car racing the first night and Verizon IndyCar Series’

Martin qualified in eight of the 13 events at the women’s swim trials and is competing in six events. She advanced to the finals of the 200 butterfly with the eighth-best time in the semifinals Wednesday. In the final Thursday, she posted a fourth-place finish in 2 minutes, 9.96 seconds, but only the top two swimmers qualify for the U.S. Olympic team.

Martin’s next races will be Friday when she competes in the 800-meter freestyle and the 200-meter backstroke. Martin did not swim for the Iowa City West High team the past two seasons as she focused on the Olympic Trials.

I have a personal connection to the U.S

I’ve mentioned him before in this column when he competed in this year’s Drake Relays. I’ll be peeking in to the track competitions to see if Josh realizes his dream.

When I was in Colorado, I re-connected with my cousin Kelly. She and her sister grew up in Kansas City, Mo., so it was a bit surprising to hear her talking about hunting elk in Colorado with her husband Jerry. They camp at 10,000 feet up and hunt above that in the Rocky Mountains near Pagosa Springs — which is a mile and a half above sea level. Apparently, Kelly’s a good shot. Who would have known?

Older sprinters earn Olympic swim berths OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The youngsters are turning the U.S. Olympic trials into a coming out party.

Nathan Adrian crashed their good times by winning the 100-meter freestyle Thursday night, earning a trip to Rio to defend the title he won four years ago.

The 27-year-old sprinter who trains at California touched in 47.72 seconds, beating second-place Caeleb Dressel by just over a half-second. Dressel made his first Olympic team at 19, the youngest swimmer in the final.

Not to be left out was Anthony Ervin, who finished fourth and made his third Olympics at 35. Jason Lezak was 36 when he swam at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Royals sweep Cardinals at St. Louis ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals’ home field magic has disappeared, and outfielder Brandon Moss can’t figure out why.

“It’s just one of those things,” Moss said after the Cardinals dropped their seventh straight home game on Thursday — a 4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals.

St. Louis, which went 55-26 at home last season, dropped to 15-23 at Busch Stadium.

The Cardinals’ 23rd home loss in 2015 came on Sept. 7.

“You want to play well in front of your home fans, to give them a reason to come out and to get excited,” Moss said. “But the way we’ve been playing — it’s surprising and it’s disappointing.”

Catcher Brayan Pena, who was giving Yadier Molina a rest on Thursday, called the recent home field performance, “embarrassing.”

“For some reason, this team is not playing its best games here,” Pena added.

The Cardinals’ last seven-game home losing streak came on Aug. 2-15, 1983.

Sloppy play has figured prominently in several of the losses. St. Louis made three errors Thursday to bring its total to a major league-high 62. It has committed six errors in its

last 16 innings.

“No excuse for it,” Moss said.

Kendrys Morales homered and recorded his sixth straight multi-hit game to lead the Royals.

Kansas City won for the fourth time in five games and took the two-city, four-game series three games to one.

Moss and Jhonny Peralta homered for the Cardinals, who are 25-15 on the road.

Wade Davis recorded his 19th save in 21 opportunities.

Morales, a designated hitter playing right field for the second straight night, doubled in the sixth inning off Mike Leake (5-6) to push the lead to 3-1.

Morales, who went 3 for 4, has 16 hits in 24 at-bats over the six-game run. He went 12 for 16 in the series and started in the outfield for the first time since 2008.

Since going 1 for 15 in a four-game set with Cleveland on June 2-5, Morales has been on fire. He was hitting .191 on June 5, but has gone 32 of 69 since to push his average to .262.

“I felt like before, I was making good contact,” Morales said. “It was just a combination of bad luck that played into it as well.”

His six-game multi-hit streak ties him for the lon-

Mets rally, hold off Cubs NEW YORK (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes socked a colossal home run , Jeurys Familia pitched out of a huge jam in the ninth inning and rookie replacement Brandon Nimmo keyed a three-run rally in the seventh that sent the New York Mets past the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Thursday night in their first meeting since last year’s NL Championship Series.

Chicago put runners on second and third with no outs against Familia, who got two strikeouts and a bases-loaded popup for his 27th save, most in the majors. He screamed and pumped his arms repeatedly after Javier Baez popped up to end it.

Baez’s throwing error at second base allowed Nimmo to score the go-ahead run, and the Mets overcame a 3-0 deficit to stop their four-game slide. New York, which swept Chicago last October to reach the World Series, had lost nine straight regular-season games to the Cubs dating to August 2014.

Both banged-up teams came in depleted by injuries as they began a four-game series, the start of an 11-game homestand for the Mets that marks their longest of the season and

takes them all the way into the All-Star break.

Kris Bryant’s two-run homer and Baez’s solo shot off rookie Steven Matz gave the major league-best Cubs a 3-0 lead before a scuffling Mets lineup finally pushed back.

Cespedes launched a solo drive off John Lackey in the sixth that soared into the third deck in left field, two or three rows deep. It was thought to be the first home run to reach the third deck at Citi Field, which opened in 2009.

It wasn’t unfamiliar territory to Cespedes, however.

He sent several shots up there three years ago — while winning the All-Star Home Run Derby.

Travis d’Arnaud singled with one out in the seventh, chasing Lackey. Joel Peralta (0-1) walked slumping pinch-hitter Alejandro De Aza before Nimmo, starting for injured outfielder Curtis Granderson, singled on the ninth pitch of a gritty at-bat for his first career RBI. Erik Goeddel (1-0) struck out two in 1 2/3 hitless innings for the win.Up Next Cubs RHP Jason Hammel (7-4, 2.58 ERA) starts Friday night against RHP Jacob deGrom (3-4, 2.67).

Bombers place 4th at USSSA state

Submitted Photo The Bombers, a 9U baseball team consisting of boys from the Prairie City and Monroe area, finished their season at the Iowa USSSA state tournament placing fourth in the gold bracket, competing against 36 other 9U AA teams. Members of the Bomber are, from left, front row, Jeffery McDanel, Trigg Steenhoek, Jeter Hartson, Charlie Sitzmann and Gavin Steenhoek; middle row, Adrien Robbins, Shay Burns, Quinntin Blaine, Trenner Van Dyke and Carson Hansen; back row, coaches Nick Hartson, Paul Hartson, Terry Hartson and Josh Hartson.

gest this season along with J.D. Martinez (Detroit), Jackie Bradley Jr. (Boston) and Xander Bogaerts (Boston).

Morales is 25 of 53 (.472) lifetime against the Cardinals with five homers and 13 RBIs. His 456-foot drive in the eighth inning off Tyler Lyons ties him for the longest home run by a visiting player at Busch Stadium III, which opened in 2006.

Kansas City reliever Dillon Gee (3-2) picked up the win allowing one run in two innings.

Moss ripped his 17th homer of the season off Royals starter Chris Young, who gave up one run and one hit over four innings, but walked six.

The drive, which went 477 feet according to the Cardinals, is the longest in the history of Busch Stadium. It is the second-longest this season behind Giancarlo Stanton’s 490foot blast for Miami on May 6, in a 6-4 win over Philadelphia.

“I hit it hard,” Moss said. “I know I’m strong and I know how far I can hit it when I get a hold of one.”

Leake gave up three runs, two earned, in seven innings. He struck out four and walked one.

“There were a couple of pitches I’d like to take back,” Leake said.

Kansas City pushed across

an unearned run in the first before Jarrod Dyson doubled in Alcides Escobar in the second.

Gee’s victory gives the Royals’ bullpen a 16-5 (.762) mark, the highest percentage in the majors. His lone mistake came to Peralta in the sixth inning.

“I’m just glad I was able to do the job,” Gee said. “I felt good.”

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was ejected in the sixth inning by home plate umpire Mike Everitt. It was Matheny’s first ejection of the season and 12th in four-plus season as a manager.

Trainer’s Room Royals: RHP Kris Medlen gave up five earned runs in 5 2-3 innings of a rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Thursday against Memphis. Medlen, who was placed on the DL with right rotator cuff inflammation on May 11, gave up six hits. He struck out five and walked two in a 5-2 loss.

Cardinals: OF Stephen Piscotty was given the night off after he tweaked his left ankle in the 12th inning of Wednesday’s 3-2 loss. He is listed as day-to-day.

INF Aledmys Diaz was held out of the lineup for the third straight game. He fouled a pitch off the area around his right eye on Monday.

Earnhardt hopes new Chevrolet gets him a Daytona victory DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Amelia is in the graveyard located in the woods of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s property in North Carolina, where he collects ruined race cars.

The beloved Chevrolet failed Earnhardt in the Daytona 500 and again at Talladega. He thought he’d drive Amelia to another victory in both races — after all, she’d won four times in six restrictor-plate starts over a 13-month period — but he crashed in both superspeedway races this season.

After the Talladega wreck, he retired Amelia and added her to his eclectic graveyard.

So when NASCAR’s most popular driver races Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway, it will be in a new Chevy built by Hendrick Motorsports that won’t have a name.

“We’re not going to be naming cars anymore,” Earnhardt said Thursday. “I knew as soon as we did that, it sort of took off and put a lot of pressure on that car and the team. These cars just don’t stick around long enough to get names. You used to race cars for years and years and they would show a personality.

“These days, you only keep a car for maybe a year before it’s unrecognizable or it’s cut out of the herd.”

In fact, Earnhardt believes Amelia probably outlived her worth. In hindsight, he doesn’t think he should have raced her at Daytona or Talladega.

“There are newer ideas and theories and better ways to do things that that car didn’t have,” he said. “We assumed, hey, it was doing so well, why wouldn’t it keep going? It seems like over the offseason there’s so much improvement and gains made by every organization that you can’t afford to rest on what you did the year before.”

While it’s true that a driver is only as good as his car, Earnhardt has proved

NASCAR Photo Dale Earnhardt Jr. changes things up, or at least changes cars for Saturday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway. He is looking for a victory in a new Chevrolet built by Hendrick Motorsports.

to excel at restrictor plate races. Of his 26 career Sprint Cup victories, Earnhardt has won 10 times at Daytona and Talladega. He’s the defending race winner here at Daytona, and he won an exhibition race in February. Counting non-points events, Earnhardt has won 11 times at the famed speedway.

He’s done it with an aggressive driving style that he possibly inherited from his late father, Dale Earnhardt, who won 13 points races at Daytona and Talladega before he was killed on

the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.

“You’ve got to get yourself out there and put yourself in some pretty compromising situations that are touch and go,” Earnhardt said. “If you want to go up there and win the race, you’ve got to put yourself in some situations that are really sketchy.

“Sometimes in plate racing it’s as hairy as you can stand. It’s about as much excitement and nerve-wracking anxiety as you can stomach.”

Earnhardt will likely drive that way

Coastal Carolina wins College World Series title OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore often said he just wanted his team to reach the College World Series.

Until this week, he never imagined the Chanticleers would do so much more: They’re heading back to Conway, South Carolina, with the school’s first national championship in any sport.

The Chanticleers defeated Arizona 4-3 in the deciding Game 3 of the College World Series finals on Thursday, capitalizing on two errors on the same play to score four unearned runs in the sixth inning of a game delayed a day by bad weather.

It was worth the wait.

“Whenever I die, I’ll know this group of guys here, they willed themselves to be the national champion,” Gilmore said. “It was just meant to be, no doubt. If there is such a thing as a team of destiny, this group is it.”

Coastal Carolina (55-18) became the first team since Minnesota in 1956 to win the title in its first CWS appearance. Arizona (49-24) was trying for its second national title since 2012 but came up just short in a season in which it was picked to finish ninth in the Pac-12.

“Amazing season, and they’re a deserving champion,” first-year coach Jay Johnson said of the Chanticleers. “We played as good as we possibly could this year, and they’re the best team we’ve played, in my opinion.”

Andrew Beckwith (15-1), the national leader in wins, went 5 2/3 innings after pitching two complete games and picked up his third victory of the CWS. He was named the Most Outstanding Player.

“He’s been coaching for 21 years, and he deserves every bit of it,” Beckwith said of Gilmore.

“We got him to Omaha and we got him a national championship.

The senior class, the hard work in the fall, the dedication of the guys who don’t play much. It doesn’t go unnoticed. It was a full team effort the whole College World Series, and we got it done.”

Alex Cunningham earned his first save, striking out Ryan Haug with a full-count fastball to end

the game after Arizona had pulled within one in the bottom of the ninth. When Haug swung and missed, Cunningham turned to his dugout, beat his chest with his fist three times and saluted before flipping his glove away to start the celebration.

“The running joke is that in high school I lost the state championship three times in a row. I was not going to lose this one, I promise you that,” Cunningham said.

The championship was the first in a team sport in the 33-year history of the Big South Conference.

The Big South could savor the accomplishment for only about eight hours. The Chanticleers become members of the Sun Belt Conference on Friday.

“This program has been a lot better than people give it credit for,” Gilmore said. “They thought we played in a small conference and couldn’t get this done. This bunch wanted to prove everybody wrong.”

Arizona, which came into the day with just two errors in seven CWS games, saw second baseman Cody Ramer commit two on the same play in the sixth inning.

He couldn’t get a handle on a grounder, allowing David Parrett to score from third. Then Ramer tried to get Michael Paez running from second to third, but he overthrew Kyle Lewis. That allowed Paez to come home. G.K. Young then launched a no-doubt homer into the seats above the right-field

bullpen for a 4-0 lead.

“It’s the best feeling of my life,” Young said. “I’m trying not to cry right now. Just dreaming of that in my head since I was 10 years old, hitting a home run in the College World Series. I never would have thought it would come in the championship game.”

The Wildcats cut the lead in half with two unearned runs in the bottom half of the sixth against a tiring Beckwith. Arizona’s Bobby Dalbec (11-6) worked 5 2/3 innings, striking out eight to increase his CWS total to 26 in 20 2/3 innings.

Arizona’s first two batters in the bottom of the ninth reached base against Cunningham, and Gibbons’ sacrifice fly made it a one-run game with two outs.

Ryan Aguilar then doubled into the left-field corner, but Ramer was held at third because Anthony Marks was able to get the ball back to the infield so quickly.

“That’s the play of the season in college baseball,” Johnson said.

“We play aggressively, but Cody would have been out by 100 feet — and I know it’s only 90 feet. I can’t believe the play that was made.”

Because of the noon start on a weekday — caused by the rainand-lightning postponement Wednesday night — people attending the U.S. Olympic swim trials across the street at CenturyLink Center were admitted for free to the outfield seats.

on Saturday night when he seeks his first victory of the season. He sits 12th in the standings — only behind teammate Chase Elliott among drivers inside the top 16 still looking for a win.

But 12 drivers already have wins this season with 10 races remaining to set the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. A win should essentially lock a driver into the Chase — unless there are more than 16 winners.

So Earnhardt isn’t very comfortable with his current position, especially since there have been eight different winners in the last eight races. He admitted being frustrated over his May races — he didn’t have a finish higher than 14th — but is encouraged by what speed crew chief Greg Ives has seemed to find.

“Where we are in points is very frustrating,” he said. “It creates a lot of anxiety between me and Greg. I think that we both are not happy with where we are in the points. We are wondering and worrying about trying to make the Chase — it shouldn’t be something that this team is concerned with.

“I think we are way better than where we are.”

He lamented that success came easier in years past. He noted the number of accidents he’s been in is uncharacteristic but said his team is giving him good cars.

“Hopefully, we just get to Richmond and we don’t have a lot of pressure about trying to make the Chase,” he said. “Hopefully, we can put a string of races together that will give us a good cushion between us and the next guys fighting for those last few spots. Obviously, we need to get a win to put all that to bed, but nothing is guaranteed. If we don’t get a win going into the Chase we are going to have to do well in these next 10 races and just be real consistent.”

NFL hands out four-game suspension to Johnny Manziel DALLAS (AP) — Johnny Manziel has been suspended for the first four games of next season for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, and the free agent quarterback could face further discipline over his domestic violence case if he signs with another team.

The suspension announced Thursday is not related to the league’s domestic violence policy, but Manziel would be subject to standards that were toughened two years ago if he signs with Manziel another team. The 23-year-old Manziel, released by Cleveland in March, faces a misdemeanor assault charge in Dallas involving former girlfriend Colleen Crowley.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Texas A&M was suspended the same week he posted pictures on Instagram from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The post included a reference to his father, Paul Manziel, who called his son a “druggie” following a report from The Associated Press of one of his attorneys mistakenly sending a text that indicated doubts whether Manziel could stay clean.

A spokeswoman for Manziel declined to comment on the NFL’s suspension.

As Manziel’s domestic case has played out, he has been photographed partying from Hollywood to Las Vegas to New York in recent months.

His own family has expressed concern about his well-being after he was cut by the Browns following two underwhelming seasons.

Manziel spent more than two months in rehab after a difficult first season with the Browns, and the player dubbed “Johnny Football” for his exploits on the field with the Aggies vowed to be more committed to football when he got out.

After showing promise in a couple of starts in his second season, Manziel was demoted to third team after a video surfaced of him partying during the team’s bye week. Manziel returned to the starting lineup when Josh McCown broke his collarbone and led the Browns to a win over San Francisco.

Manziel sustained a concussion Dec. 27 at Kansas City and wasn’t required to be at Cleveland’s finale. But he skipped a required medical checkup and the team wasn’t sure of his whereabouts amid reports he was in Las Vegas, hitting the clubs while wearing a disguise.

One of Manziel’s defense attorneys, Bob Hinton, inadvertently sent a text to the AP last week indicating Manziel may have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store just 15 hours after he was involved in a hit-and-run crash.
