Dogs That Do Incredible Service program offered at Capitol II Friday Public can meet service dogs, learn first-handaccounts of military service

By Jessica Lowe Special to Daily News As the Independence Day weekend begins area residents will have a unique opportunity to view the film “Max” and learn about four-legged service members and support dogs during a special presentation at Capitol II Theatre in Newton.

The “Dogs That Do Incredible Service” program will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a meet and greet with service dogs in

training and their foster families. At 7 p.m., Renee Jetter, a representative from Puppy Jake Foundation, will talk about the organization and its mission to train dogs to assist veterans. Chad Wallway, a Newton native and member of the armed forces, will share information about Military working dogs and the four-legged service members working to protect soldiers on the front lines.

Following the presentations, Capitol II will show

the PG film which follows the story of Max, a dog who helped Marines in Afghanistan and his return to the U.S. following the loss of his handler and suffering from trau-

matic experience. The movie also shares the story of a family dealing with loss.

The idea for the movie and special programming was a collaborative effort from

sponsors at Capitol II and Pet Kingdom in Newton.

“After seeing the trailer (for “Max”), Sharon Wallway, owner of Pet Kingdom, approached me with using this movie as a learning tool for the public,” said Dawn Bleeker, owner and manager of Capitol II Theatre.“We went to a screening together and from there we started brainstorming.”

Sharon Wallway, Dawn Bleeker and her husband Paul Bleeker decided to host an evening of entertainment and education, aimed at sharing the challenges, sacrifices and MAX | 3A

Pedestrian path, pocket 4-year-old park planned for downtown recovering from burns suffered last week Donations being collected

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A fundraising effort is under way for a child who was injured last week when her clothing caught on fire in a Newton apartment.

Four-year-old Aireona Richardson received second-degree burns on about 20 percent of

her body June 22, and was taken to Iowa University Medical Center in Iowa City, where she remains. While her condition seems to have stabilized, as she was able to crack a smile for a photo, there are undoubtedly some medical and financial hurdles for her and her mother to conquer in the weeks and months ahead.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Newton Main Street and the city are working to put a pedestrian path and pocket park in the alley way between Uncle Nancy’s and Aleya with completion of the project anticipated by the end of the construction season this year.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new pedestrian path and pocket park is being planned for the alley linking downtown with the Newton Public Library.

In a combined effort of Newton Main Street and the City of Newton, a grass-covered area with a concrete path will make a new, visually pleasing way to get to and from important city attractions.

“This is great use of a space that did not serve much of a purpose before,” Newton Main Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman said.

The space is between Uncle Nancy’s and Aleya and the idea came up during a Newton Main Street Design committee meeting. Terri Swank and Marilyn Terlouw volunteered to create a site plan and then submitted the plan to the city. The proposal was welcomed by the city as it

had thought of using the space in a similar fashion in a previous long-term planning document.

“It’s a great example of a project that the city and Main Street have collaborated on. It is something that we can point to as an immediate success with Main Street and is going to be a great opportunity to connect the library to the downtown,” Director of Planning and Zoning PATHWAY | 3A

Branstad signs five bills into law Green energy tax credit among Friday’s approvals

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad signed five bills into law last week, but that hasn’t put a dent in the stack that legislators left on his desk at the end of this year’s session.

There are still 14 bills before the governor for consideration from the close of the 2015 legislative session, even after Friday’s bill action. The deadline for Branstad to take action on those 14 measures — which include school funding and other

financial appropriations — is Monday.

House File 645 modifies the tax credit residences and businesses can receive for qualifying solar and wind energy systems installed on or after Jan. 1, 2016.

The legislature, in a move that easily cleared both houses, approved new credits totaling $500,000 BILLS | 3A

Good grilling How to have a healthy Fourth of July

By Nancy Schive, RD, LD Outpatient Education Dietitian Skiff Medical Center Start up the grill and get out of the kitchen this Fourth of July.

Though this Saturday marks a national holiday, healthy eating does not have to take the day off or be gone on vacation.

Holidays, birthday parties and other special occasions are just a part of life, and there are many options on how we can enjoy these times more healthfully.

Grilling adds flavor without added fat. That makes it easier to cook healthy food the entire family will enjoy. So, go ahead and grill those burgers this Fourth of July, but do consider some of the following easy and nutritious options: • Try lean ground beef, turkey or chicken for your burgers. You might also consider veggie burgers made with chickpeas or pinto beans.

• Kids and adults alike love food on a stick. Try grilling marinated shrimp or chicken on skewers. Add peppers and grape tomatoes for extra fiber, sweet-

ness and a few more vegetables in your diet.

• Prepare a veggie plate very quickly with grilled squash, peppers, carrots or cauliflower. Just brush lightly with olive oil and your favorite seasoning before grilling.

• Substitute whole grain pasta for regular in your favorite pasta salad and add broccoli and colorful peppers for good taste and color.

• Trade traditional mayonnaise-based coleslaw for a fresh carrot salad dressed with plain Greek yogurt, raisins and chopped apples.

• Grill fresh pineapple or peach halves until their natural sugars caramelize. Add to the dessert bar with lite vanilla yogurt, nuts and fresh cherries for the top.

Involve your children in the preparation of your meal this holiday weekend. Exposing children to healthy eating and cooking early in life is essential. Children as young as 2 years old can help you stir and add ingredients to the bowl. Here are some additional ways you can involve your

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month

By Jenny Thomson, RD, LD, CDE Skiff Medical Center What better month to celebrate fresh fruits and veggies as here in Iowa we are harvesting fresh berries, spinach and lettuce out of our gardens.

The MyPlate recommendation for fruit intake for most adults is 1.5 to 2 cups each day.

What Counts as a Cup of Fruit? In general, 1 cup of fruit or

100% fruit juice, or ½ cup of dried fruit can be considered one cup from the Fruit Group. Check out the link below for more specific guidelines at www.choosemyplate. gov/food-groups/fruits-counts.

The MyPlate recommendation for vegetable intake for most adults is 2 to 3 cups each day.

Skiff’s town hall event

Richardson Continued from Page 1A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Mercy President Bob Ritz speaks at a town hall event at Skiff Medical Center on its first day as a Mercy acquired hospital.

Pathway Continued from Page 1A Erin Chambers said.

“As we grow housing in the downtown area and want to promote second story living, pedestrian connections to all of our facilities is something we want to see happen.”

The sidewalk portion will be a part of a larger sidewalk package

that was approved in the city’s annual budget on March 2. Newton Main Street committed money from its budget to help pay for additional items including bushes, decorative grasses, benches and other potential items, but is open to donations or sponsorships for items as well.

Completion of the project has yet to be

determined but should be done by the end of construction season this year.

“It’s currently in the design phase with our engineering department.

They will put together all of the plan specifications, the thickness of the concrete, the location and should be out to bid here in the near future, one or two weeks or so,” Chambers said.

Bassman said Main Street is excited to see the different entities working together on a project for the city, specifically in the downtown area.

“Hopefully it is a successful model that we can use for future projects,” Bassman said.

Richardson, known as “Ona Jo,” is the daughter of Kasey Chance Keller, who could not be reached directly for this story. One of her close friends, Katie Finch, has started a fundraising drive to help the family with expenses.

Finch, who works at the Casey’s General Store location on 18th Street South, near Interstate 80, said Keller is like a sister to her. She placed donation containers, complete with photos of Richardson and a description of what happened, at Casey’s stores and other locations in Newton.

“In an instant, I knew she would need help,” Finch said. “We might not be able to help with all of her bills, but we’ll get as close as we can.”

Finch said she plans to distribute more donation containers, and to have T-shirts printed and sold as another fundraiser.

Finch said Richardson’s father passed away in 2011. She said once Keller and Richardson return from Iowa City, they’ll have to find a new place to live, as Keller has been evicted from her apartment, and has no local viable family options.

Attempts to contact the landlord at that address Wednesday were not successful.

How the accident occurred isn’t exactly clear, as Richardson was the only person in the room when her clothing caught on fire. Newton police and fire responded to a call at 11:25 a.m. to the apartment at 904 N. 6th Ave. E. The Newton Police Department’s initial news release described the incident as “a tragic accident involving a child playing with a lighter.”

Finch said Keller told her that her daughter was attempting to plug in a TV. Acting Newton Police Chief Wes Breckenridge said Tuesday that his department has spoken with Keller as well, but there is nothing to suggest a lighter wasn’t the cause.

“The case is still open if we receive additional information,” Breckenridge said. “Currently, there is no new information or evidence to corroborate the mother’s report. But if new information becomes available, we will look into it.”

House File 661 is an annual state probate code update. This year’s major changes include an exemption for administrative expenses that were not allowed on federal income taxes. Municipal bond interest is subject to Iowa income tax, and the deduction for fees associated with this interest can now be extended to these fees.

All four county legislators voted in favor of SF 485, which didn’t receive a single vote against it in either house.

How this opinion page works

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | July 2, 2015

Recently a local elected official took to Facebook suggesting that letters to the editor from certain individuals should not be published. The post also suggests contacting the official to get something done about it.

Perhaps I should explain how this works.

Each day we publish our editorial policy on the editorial page — some basic rules include that letters can be edited for grammar, length and libel and can also be rejected for a number of reasons.

Letter writers are allowed to submit one letter every 30 days — in the spirit of rotation. Another item people often forget is that letters should not exceed 400 words.

For the most part, this is a very routine part of my job. I’ve been processing letters to the editors for the better part of a decade.

Elected officials, by nature, are put under public scrutiny. Oftentimes letter writers want to persuade you, with their opinion, to vote for their chosen candidate.

Other times they want to cheer on a politician’s efforts, and many times letters will express disap-

pointment.

In my career I can recall publishing notable criticism of mayors, police chiefs, legislators, members of Congress and of course, the President of the United States. I can also recall letters that were critical of friends, candidates I personally voted for and members of my own staff. I have published dozens of letters that I don’t agree with — my personal opinions do not influence whether letters are run in the paper.

Last fall, I was surprised by the volume of letters we received about local candidates prior to the election. One day we published two full pages of letters.

While it was a little extra work, I was excited about it. Voters in Jasper County are passionate about politics and their elected officials.

On occasion, people will call and ask me for both our letters policy (the general rules I described earlier) and advice about writing about politicians. This is more common immediately before an election. I always encourage writers to express the positive points of their candidate and why

they are voting for him/her — without attacking an opponent.

Why do I do this? To begin, it’s rare to see a letter that demonstrates a candidate’s experience and credibility without drawing out the negatives of voting for the opponent. In a sense, I’m issuing a challenge. I also believe it provides better content and a stronger opinion. Of course, it’s just a suggestion. I’ve published hundreds of negative, critical letters about candidates.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm these days.

A newspaper’s editorial page is an important venue to showcase a variety of views. Some may spark community awareness, get people talking and get things done.

Others simply offer that person’s unique opinion of policies, procedures, community or life.

The opinion page features a broad range of opinions from cartoons to guest editorials. I’ve done my part to try to balance which syndicated columnists we publish — a lineup which includes a libertarian, liberal, conservative and populist, and I always welcome feedback on

Letters to the Editor

Personal attacks cross the line Rep. Dan Kelley Newton I am honored to serve the people of Jasper County as your state representative. I appreciate the trust you have put in me, and I work every day to keep that trust.

Recently, there was a letter in the newspaper questioning my ethics. Honest differences and heated debate are part of politics.

Letters to the editor can be a good forum for these discussions. I welcome hearing different perspectives, and criticism is part of the job. But personal attacks cross the line. This is nothing more than a piece of a coordinated smear campaign that fits in more with Washington, D.C. than it does with Newton.

Trending

A call to action Jazmine Bjelland Newton Recently, the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community received some happy news — the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. And, while I’m thrilled about the news, I feel a need to talk about our future, and our past, as a community.

I, and others in the community, are worried that with the historic news of marriage equality, momentum will be lost in our battle for our human rights. In our celebration, we need to remember our past and keep our focus on our future. And with this, I’d like to remind everyone what our history is.

On June 28, 1969, members of the LGBT community fought back against a police raid of the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York. During the 1960s (and earlier) gay bars were often the only safe haven for LGBT people — people who were often legally harassed and imprisoned for their sexuality. This bar especially was patronized by the most marginalized members of our community — poor and homeless youth, transgender men and women, drag queens and LGBT People of Color. Though it was a favorite meeting space, people should not be misled, the Stonewall Inn was an awful place, dirty and unsafe (the bar had no fire exists), but it was also one of the only places for so many of our people then.

Unfortunately, it was, along with most gay bars at the time, familiar with police raids. June 28, 1969 was the night of another raid —

those selections.

Meanwhile, the newspaper as an institution will on occasion take a stance and express the opinion of our editorial board. I’m also pleased to feature columns by my editorial staff that are sometimes fun, other times serious, but always connect you to the people telling the stories of your community.

We have and will continue to publish letters critical of elected officials — we believe that’s part of the opinion page dialogue. Also, it’s simply one part of being elected by a public constituency.

In the newspaper business, it is easy to see when people are enjoying the limelight, but not the spotlight. This will not persuade editorial policy.

Should you have questions about any of our editorial practices, or any of the items outlined here, I would suggest you contact me — that’s my job.

Know thy neighbor

and the spark of a revolution.

Tired of the constant harassment, LGBT patrons violently fought back after being detained and arrested. The night ended with the Stonewall up in flames, but it also ended with the beginnings of a movement.

In remembering that night, and the nights that came after, we shouldn’t forget the heroes of our liberation, such as Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson — transgender Women of Color and activists of the LGBT community — or our future. Our fight started long before that night, and has had many victories (including our newest with marriage equality), but we have a lot more work to do. There are

issues of homelessness among our youth, murder and suicide rates of our transgender brothers and sisters, and problems of racism within (and outside) our community, among others. Let’s celebrate this victory, but let’s not lose our momentum either.

Let’s celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots by continuing the fight. This has always been a rebellion against oppression, don’t be pacified.

Talk about these problems. Volunteer in your community. Open your hearts, arms, and homes to those who have been victimized.

Do what you can, big and small, but don’t let anyone placate you.

Marriage equality was a victory, but it was not the victory.

Let me respond to the attack by stating that for my entire career as an elected official, and before that, as a candidate for office and county Democratic party chair, I have kept clean and open books.

My campaigns are funded within the letter and the spirit of the law.

And to the people in Jasper County who have donated their hardearned money to help me run my campaigns, I have only one thing to say: thank you.

I don’t expect a reward for doing things the way they’re supposed to be done. I do expect every other elected official, from the courthouse to the statehouse, to do the same thing. Ethics and honesty mean something to the people of Jasper County, and to me personally. That’s why I’ve taken on the status quo, and will always speak “truth to power” whether in Des

I have a regret. I’ve always been told not to dwell on regrets, but if I don’t learn f r o m them, then it’s a waste of an e m o t i o n .

L i k e many reBy Mike grets, it Mendenhall b e g a n Staff Writer at a bar.

Thankfully for me, this regret does not involve a night of debauchery, but a missed opportunity.

I was at UpDown in Des Moines last summer. For those of you unfamiliar, this is a place where millennials and generation Xers such as myself can go to relive our childhood. The place is filled with arcade-style video games, TVs playing movies from the early 1990s and projectors turn the walls into giant Nintendo 64 Mario Kart tournaments. It’s a bit of a nerd fantasy.

I was at the token machine preparing for a round of Simpson’s Arcade when I made eye contact with a young man. He appeared a bit nervous and perhaps socially awkward. I said hello, and he replied with the same pleasantry in a thick sub-Saharan accent. He was by himself, and following our exchange, he quickly walked away.

Later that evening, my friends and I needed a reprieve from the thumb crunching arcade games, so we retreated to the retro-80s plaid sofa in the corner which doubled as a Super Mario Bros. gaming station.

As we played on the

console television, I noticed the man was sitting in a chair next to us, staring outward into the sea of bar patrons. We made eye contact a few more times, and a look of hesitant eagerness came into his eyes. He was still alone. A bar employee came up to the man, pat him on the shoulder and asked if he was OK. He replied simply, “yes,” and the bar associate moved on.

As he sat there I kept repeating in my mind, “Invite him to play, Mike.

He looks like he’d enjoy the company.”

I wanted to hand him the controller, but I lost my opportunity as he walked away, and we didn’t see him the rest of the night. Maybe it was the journalist in me, but after he’d gone I wondered who he was and what was his story. Or it could have been my regret for not extending a hand.

I thought of the man again while covering last year’s Prairie Days in Prairie City, as I saw what true community is about.

People were embracing in the street like they hadn’t seen one another in years.

I recall a one man saying to another, “I’m glad you came down here because you would have been in a ton of trouble.” People were even yelling my name from across Garden Square, patting me on the shoulder with good greetings.

I may be new to town, but this felt like home. But I think back to that basement bar where I could have brought a piece of community to a quiet young man. Could I have made him feel at home?

Readers defend parents who disapprove of cohabitation DEAR READERS: On May 5, I printed a letter from a parent, “Against the Tide in New Jersey.” He said his “independent, intelligent, loving” daughters (both in their late 20s) have dated their boyfriends for five years and had recently moved in with them.

The man also said he and his wife approve of the young men.

One daughter is planning to have an open house and invited her parents.

The writer said his daughter is upset because he and his wife refuse to attend because cohabitation is against their beliefs. He said he and his wife “understand her decision,” but their daughter doesn’t appear to respect theirs. He asked, “Are we wrong?”

I responded yes, because it’s no longer unusual for couples to cohabit before marriage. I asked how long they plan to continue punishing the daughter and said I don’t think they have anything to gain by doing so. Thousands of angry readers wrote to comment. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Cohabitation is NOT a substitute for matrimony. I realize it is “not unusual for couples today to live together.” However, you must certainly be aware that many religious people regard doing so as a sin against God. Should the parents compromise their beliefs to attend, simply because their daughter’s relationship is “progressing nicely”? Why do you feel that standing up for their beliefs is “punishing” their daughter and her live-in? I wish you would address this again. — DIANNE IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS DEAR DIANNE: I try to deal with things as they are, and not as some people think they ought to be.

Today many couples have chosen to live together before marriage. Some are trying to avoid the unhappiness they saw in their parents’ marriages. Others realize that you don’t really know

someone until you have lived with him or her. Divorce is messy, not to mention expensive on many levels, and they want to avoid the pain if possible — although few separations are painless.

I believe that parents should choose their battles carefully after their children become adults. What these parents are doing may eventually isolate them from their daughters. Acting as they are, there may be other happy occasions they’ll be skipping. This one is just the first.

DEAR ABBY: If the letter writer and his wife accept an invitation to someone’s house, do they check first to make sure their hosts share their “values,” that they vote the same way, are against gay marriage, have the same religious beliefs? If they don’t take that same care with everyone they know, they are being unfair to their daughters.

For five years they were apparently comfortable with the daughters living at home or in their own apartments and having sex with their boyfriends on the sly. Now that the young women are honestly acknowledging the sexual relationship and formalizing it by living together openly, suddenly there’s a problem. There’s a stench of hypocrisy here. — ONLINE DEAR ABBY READER

TREYNOR — An assistant high school basketball coach has denied that he choked a 7-year-old boy at the man’s residence in western Iowa.

Michael Doner is charged with assault causing injury. The 40-year-old is due back in court on July 9. Doner’s attorney, Chad Primmer, told the newspaper that Doner “denies the allegations and looks forward to his day in court.” Authorities say the boy was choked on May 21 at Doner’s home in Treynor.

Iowan takes plea deal after supplying beer to teen SAC CITY — A 21-year-old man has made a plea deal on charges that he had provided alcohol to an underage youth who later was involved in a collision that killed two teenage girls. Matthias Stork, of Breda, is scheduled to be sentenced on July 15. He’s pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of selling, giving or supplying alcohol to a minor. Prosecutors reduced the charges from felonies.

BURLINGTON — A judge has sided with the city of Burlington to order that he stop living in a tent on his property.

District Associate Judge Mark Kruse granted the city’s request on Tuesday for a permanent injunction against resident Curtis Halverson in putting up a tent and storing anything outside on his property, which is located in the historic Heritage Hill district. Halverson sought a 45-day delay for the order to take effect, but his request was denied and he has around a week to remove the tent.

Moffitt killed Michael on May 8, 2014, after breaking into his Grimes home. He shot Michael as he slept beside his fiance, Angie Ver Huel, who previously had a relationship with Moffitt.

Two Iowans take deals in marijuana-for-sale cases WALL LAKE — A northwest Iowa woman is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 5 after pleading guilty to selling marijuana from the home she shares with her four children. Laura Lawler, 37, was convicted Wednesday in Sac County District Court.

Heeding Francis, Iowa Catholic leaders to pressure ‘16 field The Associated Press DES MOINES — Roman Catholic leaders in the early voting state of Iowa will call Thursday on candidates for president to follow the teachings of Pope Francis and focus as much on the environment and income inequality in 2016 as they have in past elections on opposing gay marriage and abortion.

The vocal pivot from such traditional social issues will mark the first time a U.S. Catholic bishop has publicly asked those seeking the White House to heed the admonitions of Francis’ June encyclical, said Bishop Richard Pates of Des Moines.

In that major teaching document, the leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics called for

a “bold sweeping revolution” to correct what he sees as a “structurally perverse” economic system that allows the rich to exploit the poor and has turned the Earth into an “immense pile of filth.”

“The goal of the pope is to raise the questions with all the candidates,” Pates said. “It’s a moral issue, our relationship with creation, our relationship with each other.”

The push from Pates and other bishops in Iowa threatens to disrupt the historically reliable alliance of evangelical Christians and conservative Roman Catholic voters, putting pressure on Republicans who have leaned on their religious faith to guide them on social issues.

It will also focus attention on how the six Roman Cath-

“It’s a moral issue, our relationship with creation, our relationship with each other.”

— Bishop Richard Pates

olic seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination — former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former New York Gov. George Pataki, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum — will wrestle with a pope’s teachings on economics and climate change that clash with tradi-

tional Republican ideology.

While Francis has condemned abortion and upheld marriage as the union of a man and a woman, he has not done so with anything approaching the frequency of his two predecessors, Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Instead, Francis has urged church leaders to talk less about such social issues and more about mercy and compassion, so that wayward Catholics would feel welcome to return to the church.

“Pope Francis hasn’t changed church teaching, but he has given greater salience to social welfare and environmental issues, which has put Catholic Republicans in an awkward position,” said John Green, director of the University of Akron’s Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, “particularly

if they want to also claim, like many of them do, that religion is important to them.”

Francis is expected to highlight the issues in September when he makes his first visit to the U.S., where he will address a joint session of Congress and the U.N. General Assembly.

Bishops beyond politically important Iowa plan to do so as well. Church leaders in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Richmond, Virginia, plan events related to the encyclical in August, according to the Catholic Climate Covenant, which works with American bishops on the environment.

In Florida, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski is planning sermons and events to amplify the pope’s call for action to curb global warming.

Former Iowa State scientist gets prison for faking HIV research DES MOINES (AP) — A former Iowa State University scientist who altered blood samples to make it appear he had achieved a breakthrough toward a potential vaccine against HIV was sentenced Wednesday to more than 4.5 years in prison for making false statements in research reports.

Dong-Pyou Han, 58, also must pay $7.2 mil-

lion to a federal government agency that funded the research. He entered a plea agreement in February admitting guilt to two counts of making false statements.

Government prosecutors said Han’s misconduct dates to 2008 when he worked at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland under professor Michael Cho, who was leading a team testing an

experimental HIV vaccine on rabbits. Cho’s team began receiving NIH funding, and he soon reported the vaccine was causing rabbits to develop antibodies to HIV, which was considered a major breakthrough. Han said he initially accidentally mixed human blood with rabbit blood making the potential vaccine appear to increase an immune defense against HIV.

Bangladesh-based poverty group founder wins World Food Prize DES MOINES (AP) — A man who created a nonprofit organization credited with helping more than 150 million people out of poverty was named the winner of the 2015 World Food Prize on Wednesday.

Fazle Hasan Abed, of Bangladesh, created BRAC, the organization originally known as Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, as a temporary relief organization to help the country recover from the

1970 typhoon that killed about 500,000 people and the subsequent war fought in 1971 to win independence from Pakistan. Bangladesh was once listed as the second poorest country in the world.

Balanced play gives Newton softball hard fought LHC win

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News With the game on the line and a tying run on second in the final inning, Newton’s Payton Maher threw the perfect pitch that caught the batter looking and gave the Cardinals’ softball team a 4-2 victory over Pella on Wednesday.

Pella made two quick outs in the seventh inning, but a pair of Cardinal errors in the outfield put runners on second and third. Maher battled with Pella’s Kennedy Landgrebe and finally recorded her fifth and final strikeout.

Newton coach Kristina McNew was the first one out of the dugout to celebrate the victory with the girls.

“We’ve been preaching a lot about mental toughness, and they just

showed it right there,” McNew said.

“With two outs, a runner on third and a runner on second, that’s the game right there, and they showed their mental toughness. I’m so proud of these girls.”

Newton fell behind early as Pella led off the game with a triple. A sacrifice groundout gave the visitors a 1-0 lead. However, that lead was shortlived.

A half inning later Newton’s Kari Adams drove a double over the left fielder’s head for a two-RBI hit. Audrey Lucas and Bailey Davis scored on the play.

But for the second straight game, the Cardinals found themselves in trouble in the fifth inning. With two SOFTBALL | 3B

Cardinal baseball takes one from top-ranked Pella

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Newton baseball team has proven it can play with some of the best teams in the state this season The Cardinals proved it once again during a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader Wednesday against Class 3A No. 1 Pella at Eversman Field.

Jordan Travis hit a solo home run at the plate and tossed a complete-game on the mound to push the Cardinals past the Dutch, 3-1, in the opener, and then Newton nearly got the sweep before coming up just short, losing 3-2 in the nightcap.

“That first one was big for us,” Newton coach Dustin Brisel said. “All three games we have played against them this year have been close. I am very pleased with how we played tonight.”

Travis’ solo home run came in the two-run third inning. Drew Stout also had a hit and scored a run, while Mike McCormick doubled and drove in a run. The other hits came from Duncan Lee, who also had an RBI, Tyler Wood, Jeff Stanton and Michael Barr. Connor Gholson scored a run, too.

On the mound, Travis struck out five and walked two while allowing no earned runs on eight hits.

“Jordan’s been big for us all year,” Brisel said. “He got ahead in the count on the

mound and he got us going offensively with the home run.”

He also got some help from his defense.

In the bottom of the second, Pella had the bases loaded with one out when Wood made a catch on the grass behind second base and finished off a double play when he gunned down a Dutch runner at the plate.

Travis had to navigate through base runners in the third, too. Lee erased one runner when he gunned down an attempted base stealer at second base. Travis got out of the jam when he induced a 4-6-3 double play.

“I always tell the guys that if we make the routine plays, we’ll be in every game,” Brisel said. “We have been making plays in the field all year long.”

The Cardinals’ starter didn’t run into any more trouble until the bottom of the seventh inning. Two of the first three Dutch batters in the inning singled and then Tanner Wood made it 3-1 with an RBI single.

But Travis stopped the bleeding with back-to-back strikeouts, including Grant Judkins, who homered in Pella’s game two win.

Cubs score 2 in 11th, blank slumping Mets again NEW YORK (AP) — Starlin Castro and the Chicago Cubs aren’t scoring much lately. No need to against the New York Mets.

Castro legged out a run-scoring infield single in the 11th inning, and the Cubs blanked the punchless Mets 2-0 Wednesday night for their second consecutive shutout at Citi Field.

“We’re a little bit challenged offensively right now,” Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. “A lot of times teams will sink because of that. We have not and I really appreciate that a lot.”

Jon Lester threw seven sharp innings and the Cubs overcame a major baserunning blunder to score twice in the 11th. Miguel Montero added an RBI single as Chicago won its eighth straight against the Mets, including the first six meetings this season.

New York was held under two runs for the 20th time this season, tied for most in the majors.

At hot-for-Wimbledon, Venus Williams nears Serena showdown LONDON (AP) — Venus Williams is no longer the player she once was, on account of the passage of time and the day-to-day ups and downs of an energy-sapping condition.

At age 35, 21 years removed from her first professional tournament, Williams still possesses a dangerous serve, along with the muscle memory that comes with seven Grand Slam singles titles, five at Wimbledon.

And so while it is her younger sister Serena who is ranked No. 1, has 20 major titles and owns a 23-match Grand Slam winning streak as of Wednesday, the elder Williams is still in the draw at the All England Club, too — and the siblings are closing in on what would be their 26th all-in-the-family matchup on tour.

“She probably comes back here and, you know, I think,

she almost feels like this is home,” said David Witt, Venus’ coach. “When you have confidence, you have everything. That’s with any sport.

And I guess when she gets here, it’s a confidence thing.”

On the hottest day on record in Wimbledon history, with the temperature topping 95 degrees (35 degrees Celsius) — and a terrific day for American women — both Williams sisters won second-round matches: 16th-seeded Venus beat 95th-ranked Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan 7-6 (5), 6-4, while top-seeded Serena defeated 93rd-ranked Timea Babos of Hungary 6-4, 6-1.

Two more wins, and the siblings will meet in the fourth round.

“She poses a big threat for me,” Serena said about Venus.

They pulled out of doubles

on Tuesday, citing “soreness” for Serena, who wants to focus on her pursuit of a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title.

Four other women from the U.S. won Wednesday, including two real surprises: 158thranked qualifier Bethanie Mattek-Sands eliminated No. 7 Ana Ivanovic, the 2009 French Open champion, 6-3, 6-4; and 47th-ranked CoCo Vandeweghe, the niece of former NBA player and executive Kiki, beat No. 11 Karolina Pliskova 7-6 (5), 6-4.

Also advancing: No. 21 Madison Keys, who finished off a match suspended because of darkness at 2-all in the third set a night earlier, and Sloane Stephens.

A pair of U.S. men moved on, too: No. 17 John Isner and 105th-ranked wild-card entry Denis Kudla, who followed up his victory over No. 28

Pablo Cuevas by getting past 18-year-old Alexander Zverev.

“A few years ago, I was being asked, ‘What happened to U.S.A. tennis?’ And I said, ‘Well, it comes and goes.’

I think there were a lot of younger players coming that showed promise,” the 30-yearold Mattek-Sands said. “Sure enough, I think we have a really strong contingent of American players and it’s really good to see.”

Serena is halfway to a calendar-year Grand Slam in doubles with Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic. Serena, meanwhile, is halfway there in singles, and so far this week has a pair of straight-set victories after playing five three-setters at the French Open.

“I always root for Venus,” Serena said. “She’s been through a lot in her career.

She’s really playing well.”

Baseball: Game 2 rally falls short for Cardinals Continued from Page 1B singled and went to second on a Stanton sacrifice bunt. He came around to score on the next play as Lee delivered a one-out blooper to center field to make it 3-0.

“Every win is big,” Brisel said. “This is a fun group to coach and seeing them have success is what makes me happy. We’ve had some good wins this year, but this one ranks up there at the top.”

Judkins blasted a two-out solo home run in the first inning of the second game to give Pella (21-4 overall, 13-3 in LHC) an early lead.

Newton came right back to tie in the bottom of the second as Brennen Dodd delivered a two-out RBI double to left field that scored Barr.

Judkins powered the Dutch to another lead with a RBI single in the fifth and another run crossed to make it 3-1.

Newton had runners on first and third with no outs in the bottom of the seventh but managed just one run. Connor Gholson led off the inning with a single and eventually scored on a wild pitch to close the gap to 3-2 but that’s as close as the home team would get.

The Cardinals (14-8, 8-5) are back in action at 1 p.m.

Friday at 4A No. 7 Southeast Polk.

Notebook Pella was the home team in game one and Newton batted last in game two. ... Newton’s first game against Pella was a 2-1 loss but it ended in the sixth inning because of rain.

Softball Continued from Page 1B outs a no one on base, Pella smashed back-to-back doubles to tie the game.

The damage was limited, however, as a foul out down the third base line got the Cardinals back to their dugout.

and that’s when the Cardinals made their move.

Junior Sydney Jenkins — who already had two hits in the game — came to the plate with a runner on and she belted an RBI double to the outfield fence.

Jenkins later scored on a throwing error while stealing third.

The Cardinals carried the 4-2 lead into the seventh and ultimately defeated a Pella team that beat Newton 6-2 six days earlier.

McNew was very happy with her young team with how

balanced they played Wednesday against a tough opponent.

“All around we finally played the straight set of innings,” McNew said.

“Before, we usually broke in the fourth or we broke in the fifth and tonight was the best all around play I’ve seen so far.”

IndyCar drivers prepare for Iowa Corn 300 on July 18

Troy Hyde/Daily News Ed Carpenter, top, of the IndyCar Series, and Matthew Bradham, bottom, of the Indy Lights Series ran several test laps at Iowa Speedway on Wednesday. Carpenter will drive in the Iowa Corn 300 on July 18.

Bradham drives for Andretti Motorsports and could be involved in the Indy Lights race on July 18.

Kevin Love has unfinished business in Cleveland and Tyson Chandler will be conducting his in Phoenix.

The first full day of NBA free agency featured skyrocketing salaries and a flurry of moves, though no decision yet from LaMarcus Aldridge. Players and teams agreed to more than $1 billion worth of deals.

Love made his choice quickly, opting to stay with the Cavaliers on a five-year deal that could be worth more than $110 million.

He revealed his decision in a piece in The Players’ Tribune.

“We have unfinished business and now it’s time to get back to work,” Love wrote.

Jimmy Butler and Mike Dunleavy also stayed put in Chicago for around $115 million combined, Goran Dragic is remaining in Miami and Paul Millsap will stick with Atlanta.

But Paul Pierce and plenty other players were on the move with salaries soaring ahead of next year’s new TV contracts that might make Wednesday’s action seem tame next summer.

“I LUV that the players are bank rolling, capitalize and seize the moment,” Hall of Fame guard and TNT analyst Reggie Miller wrote on Twitter. “Trust me the owners and the league are making money, so should you.”

Chandler will get his in Phoenix, taking $52 million over four years to leave Dallas, while Atlanta’s DeMarre Carroll agreed to a deal with Toronto for $60 million over four years. Pierce then left Washington to reunite with Doc Rivers with the Los Angeles Clippers on a $10 million contract.

Terms of all the deals were confirmed to The Associated Press by people with knowledge of the details. They were granted anonymity because contracts can only be agreed to during the first week of free agency.

They can’t be signed until July 9, after next season’s salary cap is set.

Millsap was rewarded for his strong play in Atlanta with a three-year deal worth about $59 million, as the Hawks made sure not to lose both starting forwards after Carroll’s departure.

Aldridge was busy meeting with teams for a second straight day while he decides whether to leave Portland.

His representatives wrote on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon that he had made no decisions, even following reports that the Lakers had been eliminated.

The Spurs were among the teams hoping to land him and were making moves to entice him. They dealt Tiago Splitter to Atlanta to clear cap space and resigned guard Danny Green, who got $45 million for four years.

Aldridge was among the top big men available when the market opened early Wednesday morning, considered by many the best one who might consider moving.

The Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan was another top big man on that list.

There had been speculation Love might bolt after one season in Cleveland, though he had said repeatedly he planned to stay. He said he had been in contact recently with management and his teammates, alluding to spending time poolside with LeBron James.

In a market filled with big men, the little guys were also getting theirs. That includes around $90 million for Dragic in Miami and $70 million for Brandon Knight in Phoenix — where he took over the ballhandling duties that Dragic handled before he was dealt to the Heat.

Khris Middleton also received $70 million to remain in Milwaukee following his strong season. He and Carroll were two of the top wing players available and the Raptors paid well to get the latter, though they also lost forward Amir Johnson to Boston.

Astrograph

There are things that cross your mind that you wish wouldn’t have. It’s not all in your control. Just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s right or that you should believe it.

In the aftermath of the full moon, test your thoughts.

Take them to inquiry. Intellectual exploration may just lead you to the knowledge that your heart is pure.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 2). It’s time for some entertainment and fun. You’ll get extra funds for this kind of thing over the next seven weeks. September has you heading up a family project.

The investment of your time

and energy will pay off in November as it should, and later in unexpected ways. Your love life heats up in January.

Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 27, 39, 12, 24 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The wise don’t care about being first in line. Whatever your place today, you’ll hold it with the kind of detached confidence that attracts the very best. Your way will be made easily.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’d like to have more self-discipline. This isn’t a matter of forcing yourself to

do what you don’t want to do.

It’s about building rewards so luscious that they motivate you to follow through with your intentions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

What the day needs is an invigorating challenge to kick things off on the right note.

Instead of making a list of things to do today, make a list of things to do before 1 p.m.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re getting better, mostly because when you discover your errors, you rejoice at another opportunity to improve.

This attitude will take you to mastery.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is the time of year when the

Facebook pages are filled with vacations that look more glamorous than yours. Just know that everyone feels that way. As a matter of fact, someone is envying your posts today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Whatever your game, this is the start of a hot streak. Between here and the weekend, there will be several small wins that add up to something you’ve wanted for a long time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be choosing quickly and sometimes wrongly.

That’s fine, too. Wrong choices lead to right choices as long as you’re committed to learning from them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you fear losing something, you hold onto it too tightly. What if you were to go the other way and let go? It might not be time yet, but you have to admit that this fear is no fun to live with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). It’s said that fate doesn’t like to be tempted.

And yet there is a curious provocateur in you who wants to push the fates and see just how far they will go before they retaliate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Keeping your skills current requires some dedication, and you’re willing to put in the work. Doing so before it’s really necessary will give you

an advantage later. You’ll be ready for an opportunity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most people fail more than they succeed. Great people have failed greatly.

Failure is part of life, and fearing it can only hold us back. Befriend it instead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

With an enhanced ability to organize the future, you’ll create a scenario so grand that even you are not sure you’ll be able to pull it off. Leave room for spontaneous magic.
