Early morning siren malfunction in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Director of Public Works Keith Laube explains to city council the potential changes for First Avenue East. Laube discussed changing the four lane road to two lanes with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes on each curb. Council approved the resolution to complete asphalt resurfacing work on the road but wanted additional time to research the lane changes.

City council OKs $1.1M road project for First Avenue East

Design may reduce to two lanes, add bike lanes

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Big changes could be in store for First Avenue East.

At its Tuesday meeting the Newton City Council approved an asphalt resurfacing project that could lead to the four lane road decreasing to two lanes with a center turn lane and added bicycle lanes.

The project will extend from 300 feet west of East 14th Street to Iowa Speedway Drive. Director of Public Works Keith Laube said the project picks up where the most recent resurfacing project left off near Pizza Hut on First Avenue East.

The resurfacing portion of the project consists of milling the existing asphalt and placing a new overlay of asphalt pavement. Concrete repairs will also

be made where needed on the eastern concrete paved portion of the street.

The new striping on the road — taking it to three lanes — was generated by feedback compiled in a road use study for city streets.

“The traffic counts along this section are about 9,000 to 10,000 vehicle each day and in many cities across Iowa they are doing what is called road diets where we have two lanes that are going both ways makes more points on contact,” Laube said. “When they narrowed it down to three lanes, the number of points of contact and the number of accidents go down and the speed goes down a little bit as well.”

The roadway would be striped to be three lanes with a center turn lane, one eastbound lane and one westbound lane and on-

street bikes lanes next to each curb.

“With our existing street width it just works out that when we go from four lanes to three lanes there is five feet on each side that would allow for bike transportation on the roadway rather than putting a hike and bike trail, sidewalk together,” Laube said.

The final piece of the project is sidewalks on both sides of the street in locations where there currently aren’t any.

The preliminary cost estimate for the project is $1.1 million.

The work in the traveled lanes is estimated at $678,150 and will be paid for by the Iowa Department of Transportation. Work outside of the traveled lanes is estimated at $452,750 with the city paying 20 percent or $90,550. Those costs will be paid using funds from the city road use tax fund.

While council approved the project, several council members voiced concerns on changing the COUNCIL | 3A

One of the new warning sirens installed in the spring has once again malfunctioned.

The warning siren located near Union Cemetery on Newton’s northwest side sounded at around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, long after any potential severe weather had passed.

Director of Public Works Keith Laube thinks the cause of the malfunction comes from the siren picking up a frequency from a neighboring community’s warning system and sounding. He is in contact with the manufacturer to get the problem resolved.

“We thought we had it resolved, but then it

went off again,” Laube said. “We are looking to get it replaced or repaired because we don’t want to have false alarms.”

The potential danger with reoccurring false alarms, Laube said, is citizens will no longer trust the sirens and ignore the alarm, even when severe weather may be on its way.

This is the latest in a string of malfunctions that have occurred with the warning sirens this year. Not long after being installed, the city had several false warnings. Those issues were thought to have been resolved until the latest incident occurred.

Building work scheduled for law enforcement center

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Building repairs at the Jasper County Law Enforcement Center are hoping to improve leaks in the building. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved Skold Commercial Contracting with a bid of $11,210 to complete the work.

“We have a bunch of interior and exterior joints as far as vertical walls joints inside like windows leaking outside and joints outside that are leaking that go to the ground,” buildings and grounds direc-

tor Adam Sparks said.

“These are things that have been problems for a couple of years. The building is settling and things are separating.

We do have some exterior windows that are leaking into offices.”

The Des Moines company was among two contractors to submit bids when requested in October 2015. The second was MTS Contracting Inc. of Kansas City, Mo. with a bid of $18,100.

Pollard headed for national convention Newton resident to help represent Iowa Democrats in Philadelphia

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When a national convention takes place later this month in Philadelphia, there will be at least one person there from Newton.

Cindy Pollard is headed to the Democratic National Convention, set to run July 25-28. As the first Jasper County resident in many years, Pollard is looking forward to an experience of a lifetime — and to what she and millions of others hope is

a successful presidential run for Hillary Clinton.

Pollard is one of the atlarge Iowa delegates chosen at the recent state convention.

While the upcoming trip will be an expensive and challenging undertaking for her and her spouse, Gayla Snook, Pollard is looking forward to representing her part of Iowa in a way no Jasper County Democrat has had the chance to do for decades.

While Pollard is there to help ensure Clinton receives the nomination, she’s also thinking about the causes that first led to her involvement with the Democratic Party years ago.

“I’m representing all of Iowa,” Pollard said. “Women, LGBT, all minorities, union people — anyone that has

Holy Trinity to host Holden Evening Prayer Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will host “Holden Evening Prayer” at its 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the church, 1409 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton.

Using contemporary and inclusive language, the simple vesper service follows a traditional Lutheran form. The liturgy was written by Marty Haugen when he was musician-in-residence at Holden Village in Chelan, Wash. It has been used around the world.

Holy Trinity has been using it for their monthly Saturday evening worship for several months.

Kid Against Hunger packing meals Saturday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News More than 440,000 meals — that is how the Jasper County Kids Against Hunger organizations has made a positive effort to help feed hungry children across the world since 2009.

The organizations will be holding its next food packaging event starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday at St. Luke United Methodist Church, 501 E. 19th St. N. Several area churches and organizations will take part in packaging specialized meals along with any community members who want to participate.

“It breaks our hearts to think that kids are hungry, and we will do what we can to assist in helping stop hunger,” St. Luke Pastor Audrey Young said.

Working in teams of 12, volunteers will package specified meals combinations, with six meals in each completed bag.

Each bag travels down an assembly line of volunteers, receiving a portion of each in-

gredient, and then is sealed, stacked and boxed.

Teams collect $360 in donations for the event to help cover the cost of food packaging supplies.

After the meals leave the event, they can stay as close as local food pantries or travel to areas in Albania, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Busia, East Africa, Monroubia or Liberia.

Jasper County Kids Against Hunger is a wing unit off of the larger Kids Against Hunger Iowa based out of Mt. Pleasant, which started in 2003.

The meals sent out by the organization have been formulated by food scientists from Quaker Oats, General Mills and Archer Daniels Midland, Kids Against Hunger said on its website. The meals provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates and vitamins needed by a malnourished child’s body and mind.

The food also accommodates to the broad diversity of ethnic tastes and religious differences around the world.

Attack part of Bangladesh’s long history of political strife NEW DELHI (AP) — When Bangladesh dismissed the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for the deadly hostage crisis that gripped Dhaka’s diplomatic zone over the weekend, some questioned if authorities were in denial.

The government instead insisted homegrown militants were behind the attack at an upscale Dhaka restaurant left 28 dead, including 20 hostages, two police officers and six of the attackers. It said the claims by transnational jihadist groups were simply opportunistic grabs at global attention.

Analysts say Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government has a point.

The attack, the worst in a wave of violence waged by radical Islamists in recent years, speaks to a deeper divide within the nation of 160 million — one that has pitted secularists against those yearning for Islamic rule since the country won independence from Pakistan in a bloody war in 1971.

“Most people are not aware of the record, of Bangladesh as having been born of strife,” said Ajai Sahni, a counter-terrorism expert at the Institute for Conflict Management in New Delhi. “It is a politically polarized country where many people have been radicalized over decades. It’s going to be a long, uphill task for any government to reverse.”

In recent years, Hasina has cracked down on myriad militant groups, banning many and arresting their leaders. Some were convicted in opaque war-crimes court proceedings of collaborating with Pakistani forces in committing wartime atrocities and were executed. Last month government forces rounded up more than 11,000 suspected militants, petty thieves and criminals in just under a week, leading to allegations of rights abuses and a crackdown on the political opposition.

Instead, the blunt and heavy-handed actions have left domestic radical groups frustrated, driving them to find new role models and ways of boosting their profile and grabbing public attention, analysts said.

Extremist groups based in the Middle East and looking for new recruits have eagerly obliged. A day after the Dhaka restaurant attack, the regional branch of al-Qaida first claimed responsibility.

“I was chosen by all of Iowa, at-large on the state level — not at district where they say it is easiest,” Pollard said. “Out of 22 or so women, there were three of us picked at state — one from Tama and one from Marion and myself.”

Pollard said once she returns, in addition to hitting the bricks to further the cause of Clinton and other Democrats leading up to the November general election, she will take on a somewhat new role with the Jasper County Democrats.

“I am no longer executive organizer (a title created last year at the county level),” Pollard said. “They made me an affirmative-action chair. I will be working on bringing more diversity and gender balance to the central committee.”

While DNC delegates have decision-making power, they don’t necessarily take with them all the funding needed for five nights in an eastern-seaboard city. Even though she and Snook are driving instead of flying, there are only so many ways to cut costs and stay close to the Wells Fargo Arena in

Crowdfunding has helped.

Pollard has started a GoFundMe account to help with travel and lodging: bit.ly/29emJ9E Pollard, a lifelong Democrat, said she’s been active with politics since meeting Gayla and moving to Jasper County in 1999.

Whether she’s working with newer volunteers or experienced staff members, she said she learns something new all the time.

“I’ve learned something from every organizer that passed through,” she said. “And continue to learn.”

Pollard said the support she has received so far has been overwhelming — both in terms of needed funding and in terms of meaningful encouragement.

“I’m overwhelmed with the amount of money I have received with GoFundMe — some folks I know don’t have much to give,” Pollard said last week. “The money that is handed to me in cash and checks, and the money that has arrived in the mail just today, with the sweetest words of excitement for me.”

We’ve still got the beat T

here are many advantages to living in central Iowa. For a city boy like myself, it goes beyond learning that food, washing machines and fuel didn’t merely come from stores.

My learning experience here includes something I had worshiped from a young age: rock n’ roll.

Even though Des Moines or other Iowa cities don’t manage to draw in every major 70s and 80s rock act, the state and cities in surrounding states are in the path of plenty of talent as it crisscrosses the country.

I’m in awe of the number of my childhood heroes my girlfriend and I been able to see in the Hawkeye State and in nearby cities — mostly at a reasonable cost.

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks ly lend themselves to buses and vans filled with band equipment and exhausted musicians — some still to prove themselves in some way, established ones still paying the bills in the best way they know and others simply in love with playing live music.

While I’d really like to embrace the 80/35 Music Festival and newer original music in general, I only recognized a handful of band names in this year’s lineup, so it’s still clear any band from Nirvana’s genre or newer is not for me. This means I’m getting old, but it’s also further proof to me that with a few exceptions, such as Highly Suspect, few post-1991 musicians put very little effort into crafted music.

Since Jacqui and I moved to central Iowa, we’ve seen dozens of our favorite musicians and a handful of really great cover bands. Just since the beginning of

2016, there has been Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, Joe Satriani, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Kansas, Ratt, Lita Ford, The Bret Michaels Band and Grand Funk Railroad. Still ahead are Journey and the Doobie Brothers and perhaps one or more of the free-stage and grandstand Iowa State Fair shows.

Some critics like to tear apart some of our favorite bands as washed-up hasbeens that don’t have the looks or voice or stamina of yesteryear, but I don’t care about much of that. There are a handful of bands that just seem tired, slowed down and unenergetic, but for the most part, our brand of music is timeless, and the people still performing look like they really love the music and being on stage.

I’ve really liked some local bands as well, such as Slipstream. Des Moines-area band Gimikk and the karaoke backing trio Party! Party! do some outstanding covers, as do some groups from neighboring states, such as 3D In Your Face and Ladies of the 80s.

Grand Funk Railroad, the band that

headlined the second day of this year’s Des Moines Arts Festival, has been playing nationwide since the late 1960s. You can’t play together for more than 40 years and not be good at it. Their polished, manicured and smoothed-out ways of delivering the songs actually makes the music sound better than it did on the original vinyl.

Some groups were either smart enough or simply fortunate in painting timeless, simple tapestries of sound that can be played not only by aging musicians, but also by a completely different group of folks. There are multiple prongs of several bands — such as Ratt — out performing hits this summer, and because the songs were so well crafted, each group of relative newcomers can blast a rock sound of beauty out into the Iowa sky.

There might be plenty of great music in the big cities on the coasts, but the crossroads and highways are thankfully in between. ​Contact Jason W. Brooks at jbrooks@newtondailynews.com

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

When abortion fans let the truth slip out Last week the Supreme Court issued yet another politically driven leftist decision, this time over the contentious issue of abortion. The court explained that not only did the Constitution of the United States mandate that states not infringe upon the phantom right to abortion but that health regulations on abortion clinics in Texas had to be overturned if they made it less convenient for women to kill their babies at such clinics.

To this decision, “The Daily Show” had but one well-considered response: “Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!”

The right reacted without outrage; even the left found the tweet sufficiently indiscreet to merit a bit of tut-tutting.

The left shouldn’t have bothered. The left’s old abortion position — “safe, legal and rare” — never made any logical sense. If abortion kills a human child, then it shouldn’t be legal. If abortion kills a nonhuman, it shouldn’t be rare. Nobody cares about whether polyp removals are rare. The left fully believes that abortion is merely another form of birth control. I saw this firsthand in 2012 at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Young men walked around wearing buttons reading “I LOVE PRO-CHOICE WOMEN.” Of course they do.

In fact, abortion as birth control is implicit in their new set of revisions to the Democratic Party platform. The latest version of the DNC document calls for revocation of all restrictions on abortion at the state and federal levels — yes, all, including partial-birth abortion, the gruesome procedure in which late-term children are carved up in the womb. They want you to fund abortions, too, both at home and abroad.

That’s not “safe, legal and rare.” That’s “let’s kill as many babies as we want.”

And Hillary Clinton agrees with all of this. She tweeted: “This fight isn’t over: The next president has to protect women’s health. Women won’t be ‘punished’ for exercising their basic rights.” Babies are not a punishment; they’re a gift. But Clinton believes babies are only a gift if the mother decides that she wants it. Otherwise the baby is merely a collection of cells.

Defining what constitutes life based on convenience is the height of evil. Slaveholders in the South did precisely that in the antebellum era, arguing that blacks living below the Mason-Dixon Line were property. What business was it of those nosey parkers in Boston, Mass., what a plantation owner in South Carolina thought of his slaves? The Nazis did that to Jews; Jews were subhuman, and therefore unfit for human treatment. The Hutus did it to the Tutsis. ISIS does it to Yazidis. The essence of inhumanity lies in the purposeful dehumanization of other human beings.

That is what the Democratic Party does explicitly. Democrats only get embarrassed when someone on their own side is uncouth enough to admit it publicly.

Fiscal responsibility is paying off The State of Iowa remains in good financial shape, according to independent analysis by the Iowa State Auditor and others.

Money has been tight, but by sticking to sound budgeting principles, we closed out the fiscal year with a surplus of about $80 million. We’re also prepared for a rainy day, with more than $700 million in our reserve funds — the largest amount in state history — when Fiscal Year 2016 ended on June 30.

By law, we never spend more than 99 percent of what the state takes in. We also consider expert projections on the future of our economy when setting the state budget. This careful approach has earned Iowa the best-possible credit rating. It also gets us good reviews from State Auditor Mary

State View Sen. Chaz Allen Mosiman, who called this year’s budget “stable and responsible.”

Even with limited resources, Senate Democrats continue to fight for economic security for Iowa families by standing up for workers and investing in skills training, job creation and educational opportunities from preschool through college. But a split Legislature — with Democrats controlling the Senate and Republicans in charge of the House — requires bipartisan compromise.

While the 2016 session made progress on a number of fronts,

there were disappointments. We didn’t get to do all we wanted for schools, for sick and disabled Iowans, for crime victims, or for other efforts to strengthen and expand Iowa’s middle class.

As a new fiscal year begins on July 1, we’ll look for opportunities to build on our successes. We are in a good position to do just that.

“Sound, consistent budgeting principles will help prepare us for whatever the future brings by putting State government in a better position to react to economic uncertainties,” said Auditor Mosiman. “Long-term planning can provide a roadmap to help honor current and future commitments while navigating any changes.”

Thank you to the Newton Daily News for covering our event. The Barnyard Baby contest offered two

new divisions this year and there were over 80 contestants in total.

The Jasper County Fair Queen pageant was well attended by more than 100 family and friends for eight candidates.

Please make sure to tell a member of the fair board if you enjoyed the event and would like to see it again next year.

We look forward to producing the event again next year and hope to make it even bigger and with more entertainment.

Obituaries Raymond A. Brown July 4, 2016 Raymond A. Brown, 82, of Newton died on Monday, July 4, 2016, at Mercy Medical Center. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m., Friday, July 8, at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory. The family will greet friends from 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, July 7, at the funeral home. Memorials to the Jasper County Senior Citizens’ Center or Hickory Grove Cemetery may be left at the funeral home. If mailing, please add, “Attn: Brown Family” to the envelope.

Raymond Brown was born, raised, farmed and lived his life in Jasper County — following in the footsteps of his great grandfather Nelson Lafayette Brown, grandfather Emory F. Brown, and father Leroy W. Brown.

The eldest of six children of Leroy and Lois (Hammer) Brown, Ray-

mond was born March 6, 1934, in Grinnell.

Raymond and his brothers (Walter, Delmar, and Lyle) and sisters (Doris and Irene) enjoyed the life of most 1940s and 50s era Iowa farm kids; filled with hard work, sibling rivalry (sometimes involving pitch forks), social events at Newburg school and family reunions.

1952 was a big year in Ray’s life. He graduated from Newburg High, worked at Maytag in Newton and married Marie Eversdyk.

Uncle Sam called Ray’s name in 1956 and he spent two years in the U.S. Army and 10 in the Army Reserves. After leaving active duty, Raymond worked briefly at Lang’s Dairy in Grinnell before he and Marie began farming. Ray taught his “town girl” the art of farming, and together they shared the traditions of living on a farm with their four children (Billie, Carol, Donna and Michael) that included walking beans, chasing runaway hogs (and a few pet piglets), and the care and feeding of dairy cattle (and calves).

Farming Jasper county’s rolling hills (with his

Oliver and Allis Chalmers tractors), Ray was an early practitioner of conservation, adding terraces, contours, grass slopes, and other features that preserved Iowa’s precious soil and water. He was a Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioner for 20 years, and was named a state outstanding commissioner in 1997.

Raymond was also a member of the Hickory Grove Church and the Jasper County Historical Society, where he had served on the board. He enjoyed old tractors, watching old Westerns, reading, bird and squirrel watching and music.

Music was always present in the Brown home. Stringed instruments of all shapes and sizes, electric organs, clarinets, saxophones, and bassoons were always present, and singing filled the house and the barn. Raymond’s love of music blossomed over the years; he performed in blue grass groups and jam sessions with anyone who would join him, and was part of a jam group that played every Thursday at the Jasper County Senior

Citizens’ Center. We are all richer for it.

Raymond was a devoted grandfather. Nobody loved birthday and Christmas shopping for Lauren, Lucas and Leo more ... not to mention his personal attention to gift wrapping. The makers of tape will definitely notice a sales slump this fall. But the legacy he left them, his children, and all of those lucky enough to know and love him, is priceless.

Raymond was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Carol Kayser; and sister, Doris Clements.

Those left to honor Raymond’s memory include his wife, Marie of Newton; children: Billie (Jim) Bailey of Cedar Falls, Donna Brown (Virgil Ulrey) of Newton, and Michael Brown (Michelle Clancy) of Cedar Falls; a son-in-law, Brad Conradi of Cedar Falls; his grandchildren: Lauren (Logan) Vander Wiel, Lucas Clancy Brown, and Leo Clancy Brown; and his siblings: Walter (Marjorie) Brown of Vancouver, Wash., Delmar (Susie) Brown of Iowa City, Lyle (Janet) Brown of Grinnell, and Irene Brown of Berkeley, Calif.

Unrequited love for best friend is dead-end street

DEAR ABBY: Five years into our marriage, my wife and I took a girlfriend, “Sonya.” I fell madly in love with her. Unfortunately, my relationship with my wife cooled because she changed as a person. We ended up divorcing.

I’m still in love with Sonya, but obviously nothing will ever come of it. I’m her confidant and best friend, and she tells me all about her dating life.

I’m having trouble dealing with it, but I don’t think I could handle not seeing her face light up when she speaks about her new girlfriend.

My love for Sonya runs to my core — it’s one for the ages. She IS my soul. I don’t want to lose her as my best friend, but I don’t know how to manage the pain of my unrequited love. Please help me. — DEMOLISHED IN CONNECTICUT DEAR DEMOLISHED: Your love for Sonya may run to the core, but it isn’t returned. If she’s in love with another woman, your chances of winding up with her are somewhere between slim and none.

That’s why you must now decide if a bleeding heart is a condition you really want to live with. My advice is to be kind to yourself, get off a track that is leading nowhere and look for someone who can love you back.

DEAR ABBY: My lady friend and I have been living in the same apartment building for a year. It is a retirement community, and we each have our own apartment. (We are both in our 90s.) We are together almost every day. We are Roman Catholic and attend church services at least twice a week.

My problem is, I want her to sleep with me in the same bed, but without having sex. She says sleeping together is wrong, against God’s will and we should not do it. I said

as long as we don’t have sex, we are not committing a sin. I talked to a priest about this and he agreed with me. What do you think? — NONAGENARIAN IN MINNESOTA DEAR NONAGENARIAN: If your priest blesses it, who am I to argue?

DEAR ABBY: All my life, I’ve put my belt on from left to right.

I never really questioned why. Just reckoned it had something to do with me being right-handed.

Recently, an old acquaintance told me I have been doing it wrong.

According to him, only women do it from the left. Men belt up rightto-left.

Abby, who’s right? Is there a correct way to wear a belt? Is it a gender thing, a comfort thing or does it even matter? — NOT TOO BIG FOR MY BRITCHES DEAR NOT TOO BIG: Most men insert their belts from left to right, and most women do it from right to left. However, unless you are a member of the military and must adhere to a strict dress code, you have the right to buckle your belt whichever way you wish.

TO MY MUSLIM READERS: A happy Eid al-Fitr, one and all.

Iowa gets $4 million in drug addiction funds DES MOINES — Under President Barack Obama’s proposal to help ease a growing national problem related to drug addiction Iowa would get an additional $4 million to help expand treatment. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, appointed by Obama to oversee the administration’s battle against a growing opioid addiction problem, says current drug abuse bills in Congress don’t provide enough money. Obama’s plan provides $1 billion to create more treatment centers and train about 700 new drug treatment specialists.

Power outage impacts downtown traffic signals

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Four-way stop signs were placed at the intersection of First Avenue at East Second, East Third and East Fourth Streets in Newton following a power outage on Tuesday.

No Mega Millions winner; jackpot increases to $508M The Associated Press DES MOINES (AP) — No jackpot-winning ticket was sold in the latest Mega Millions drawing, increasing the prize to an estimated $508 million, a lottery official said.

Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty told The Associated Press there was no jackpot winner for Tuesday night’s $454 million prize.

The pot will increase by about $54 million for the next drawing on Friday, he said.

With slightly better odds than the Powerball game, it’s rare that nearly four months passes without someone winning a Mega Millions jackpot. Tuesday marked the 34th

time the jackpot has rolled over without a winner. The previous record was 22 rolls.

“This is our longest roll ever, by far,” said Paula Otto, executive director of the Virginia Lottery and lead director for Mega Millions, which is managed by a consortium of lottery organizations.

Otto said there are several factors for the lack of a winner, and it includes fewer players. The highest jackpot drawn in the country was a $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot won in January by players in three states.

“It takes much bigger jackpots to get players excited,” she said. “It looks like the tipping point might be right about now.”

Three downtown traffic signals were part of a 366-customer power outage on Tuesday throughout Newton.

The traffic signals along First Avenue at East Second, East Third and East Fourth streets were out for approximately 45 minutes before the outage was resolved.

In response to the signals out of

commission, city crews placed fourway stop signs in each of the intersections to direct traffic.

The outage started at 1:11 p.m. when a piece of equipment malfunctioned, Alliant Energy spokesperson Heather Hughes said.

The equipment was repaired and energy was once again supplied at 1:55 p.m.

New $240M hog processing plant to be built in Wright County The Associated Press DES MOINES — Prestage Farms will build new $240 million hog processing plant in Wright County after an earlier plan to

The company said Tuesday the new hog plant will create 900 new jobs in north-central Iowa — about an hour southeast of the original proposed site.

Construction could begin this fall with the plant opening in 2018.

Earlier this year, Mason City officials failed to approve an agreement with Clinton, North Carolina,

Iowa had previously approved nearly $11.5 million in tax incentives for the project, but Prestage will have to reapply for incentives at the new location.

Scarlets beat Cardinals, 4-1

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Going high to avoid a sliding opponent in an earlier home game this season is Newton High sophomore Garrett Sturtz. Sturtz plays shortstop and pitches for the Cardinals. In Tuesday’s home game for Newton, Sturtz pitched a complete game in a 4-1 loss to visiting Des Moines East’s Scarlets. Newton hosts Class 3A fourthranked Saydel Friday for Senior Night. The Cardinal seniors will be recognized before the varsity game at 7:30 p.m. at Eversman Field in Woodland Park.

Newton High’s only run came on a solo home run by senior Duncan Lee in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday. The Cardinal baseball team dropped a 4-1 decision to visiting Des Moines East at Eversman Field.

“It was a night of no hitting, and we had several defensive flaws which Des Moines East took advantage of,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “We didn’t play baseball like we have in the past few games and we lost.”

Newton committed three errors behind the pitching of sophomore Garrett Sturtz, who went the distance on the mound. Sturtz allowed eight hits, walked one and struck out five in the loss.

“Garrett threw well. They hit the holes in our infield, and we gave up runs with our errors,” Brisel said.

The Cardinals were held to two singles until Lee’s home run over the left field fence. Junior Connor Ghol-

son followed it with a double, but the Cardinals could not sustain the rally.

The Scarlets scored a run in the first inning on a one-out walk and a two-out Newton error. In the third, another Cardinal defensive miscue opened the door for a run. Leading 2-0, Des Moines East strung together three singles plus another Newton error to plate two runs in the fourth.

“We couldn’t get our hits to drop in tonight. When we made contact at the plate, we hit the ball right at defenders,” Brisel said.

Newton (9-17) will honor its seniors on Friday at Eversman Field in Woodland Park. Senior Night will feature the Cardinals taking on Class 3A fourth-ranked Saydel at 7:30 p.m.

The Cardinal junior varsity hosts Knoxville for a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m.

Thursday at Eversman Field.

It also plays at 5:30 p.m. against Saydel on Friday.

Russell throws no-hitter, homers in Tigerhawk win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Amy Russell threw a no-hitter in the circle and went 3-for-3 with a home run and five RBIs at the plate during the Tigerhawks’ 12-0 playoff win over Melcher-Dallas on Tuesday in Colfax.

COLFAX — Amy Russell liked being a relief pitcher midway through the season for the Colfax-Mingo softball team.

Now that an injury Russell suffered last year is completely healed, the Tigerhawk junior has changed her tune.

She now wants the ball in her hands at the most important time of the season.

Russell once again proved she belongs in the circle for Colfax-Mingo, throwing a four-inning no-hitter during a 12-0 victory over Melcher-Dallas during the opening round of the Class 1A Region 6 tournament on a hot and humid Tuesday night.

Russell also homered, had three hits, scored three runs and collected five RBIs at the plate.

“I’m really happy that I am back to the way I used to be before the injury,” Russell said. “It’s nice to be able to rely on yourself. I feel more comfortable in the circle because I can control the outcome. That’s pretty big for me.”

Colfax-Mingo (23-9) will try to de-

feat South Iowa Cedar League foe Lynnville-Sully for a third time this season when the two teams battle in the regional quarterfinals Wednesday. The Hawks downed Southeast Warren, 133, in their first-round game.

“I think we’ll have a really good chance against them, but they are going to be hunting for us,” Russell said.

“We know what to expect, and we just need to take care of business. I love that the game is at home, too.”

Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter did not say if Russell or freshman Colbee Cunningham would face the Hawks. Both pitchers have wins over L-S this year, but it’s nice to have his most experienced pitcher throwing her best at the end of the season.

“That’s the kind of mentality she displayed her first two years. She has found that edge again,” Poulter said.

“She wants to put it on her shoulders.”

Russell struck out two in the first inning before Colfax-Mingo plated two in the bottom half. Sophomore Ries Wilson doubled to start the frame then scored on Russell’s RBI double.

Lynnville-Sully uses Hawk softball to advance in 1A regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s softball team is in familiar territory — the Class 1A playoffs — but it’s different.

In the past the Hawks have flown into regional tournament action as a ranked team and a favorite. Not so in 2016.

The Hawks opened 1A Region 6 tournament action at home Tuesday against Southeast Warren’s Warhawks.

The Warhawks won the coin toss choosing to be the home team on the Hawks’ field.

Much like Lynnville-Sully’s season, it got off to a slow start but finished strong with a 13-3 win. The Hawks (16-16) advance to the quarterfinals on Wednesday. They

take on 12th-ranked Colfax-Mingo (23-9) at 7 p.m. at Colfax.

It will be the third meeting of the season for the two South Iowa Cedar League teams.

Colfax-Mingo beat Lynnville-Sully 15-4 in the season opener then slipped past the Hawks, 4-3, on June 20.

“We had a rough start to the season, and we’ve had a lot of learning moments this season,” Hawk senior second baseman Kaisha Ehresman said after leading her team to Tuesday’s win. “I’m excited about how we’re playing right now. I think we can make it to state if we play well.”

Ehresman, who was 4-for-4 with four singles and had six stolen bases against the Warhawks, said Lynnville-Sully hit

the ball well after adjusting to the Southeast Warren pitcher. The Hawks had 13 hits and 18 stolen bases in the game.

“Our defense was pretty sharp,” Ehresman said.

Lynnville-Sully broke through in the third innings with two gone.

Haley James reached on an error then stole second base. Ehresman beat out a bunt for a base hit. James scored on a wild pitch as Ehresman ended up at third base on the play.

Mallory Loftus delivered an RBI single to center field followed

by McKinley Conover drawing a walk. Brenna Lanser sent the ball deep to the center field fence for a two-run double.

The Warhawks appeared ready to answer

in their half of the fourth with two on base and no one out. Lynnville-Sully’s starting pitcher Carson Fisk got a ground ball to Lanser at third base, who fielded the ball, stepped on the base and threw to first for a double play. Another ground-ball out ended the Warhawk threat.

“Kasiah got on in the first inning and stole second base. We had the steal on for her again, and Mallory had a great hit, but their second baseman made the catch at her toes. They doubled us off of second,” Hawk head coach Stacey Alberts said. “We were a little slow getting started and the girls’ energy was a bit slower than their coach wanted it.”

Former Hawkeye Calloway dies after being hit by train Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — Former University of Iowa offensive lineman Kyle Calloway was struck and killed by a train near Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday. He was 29. Funeral arrangements are pending.

“We are all stunned and very saddened to hear of the tragic accident claiming the life of Kyle Calloway,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Kyle’s family and to those who knew him.

He was a valued and respected member of our program.”

Calloway was a member of the Hawkeye football program from 2005-09, redshirting his first year.

He joined the Hawkeye program from East High School in Belleville, Ill., where he had participated in football, basketball and track.

Calloway started 37 of his final 38 games as a Hawkeye, including the final 12 games as a senior in 2009.

Iowa posted an 11-2 record in his final season, and he started at right tackle in Iowa’s 16-9 win over Georgia Tech in the 2010 Orange Bowl.

The Hawkeyes were ranked seventh in the final rankings.

Calloway started all 13 games in 2008, including the 31-10 win over South Carolina in the 2009 Outback Bowl.

Calloway, who played primarily right tackle, earned second team AllBig Ten honors as a junior and senior.

Calloway was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Five Cubs elected to start in All-Star game NEW YORK (AP) — After topping the major leagues during the first half of the season as they seek their first title in more than a century, the Chicago Cubs dominated the rosters for next week’s All-Star game.

And the Boston Red Sox, who ended their long drought a decade ago, were not far behind.

The Cubs became the first team since the 1976 Cincinnati Reds’ Big Red Machine to have five players voted as AllStar starters, and seven Chicago players in all were picked Tuesday for the July 12 game at San Diego’s Petco Park.

Chicago’s entire infield was voted in — first baseman Anthony Rizzo, second baseman Ben Zobrist, shortstop Addison Russell and third baseman Kris Bryant — along with center fielder Dexter Fowler, who hopes to recover from a hamstring strain that has sidelined him since June 18. The only other team to start four infielders was the 1963 St. Louis Cardinals.

Rizzo led NL players with 3.2 million votes, and Zobrist won the closest race by finishing 88 votes ahead of Washington’s Daniel Murphy. Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester were selected for the National League pitching staff.

Chicago got off to a 47-20 start but has slumped for the past few weeks.

The Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908, but have the second-most All-Stars in their history behind eight in 2008.

The game will feature 11 first-time starters, the most since 2005. In a sign of the sport’s generational change, 12 of the 17 elected starters are 26 or younger.

Boston has six All-Stars, including four starters. Designated hitter David Ortiz, who is retiring at the end of the season,

Rizzo

Ortiz

became a 10-time All-Star and is joined in the lineup by a trio of first-timers: shortstop Xander Bogaerts and outfielders Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts. Knuckleballer Steven Wright and closer Craig Kimbrel also were selected.

Wright is a first-time All-Star at age 31.

Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez and first baseman Eric Hosmer were voted to the AL starting lineup along with Houston second baseman Jose Altuve, Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado and Los Angeles outfielder Mike Trout.

Perez led all players with nearly 4.97 million votes.

San Francisco catcher Buster Posey was elected in the NL along with New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and Washington outfielder Bryce Harper.

Five Orioles were picked for the AL roster. Beyond Machado, catcher Matt Wieters and outfielder Mark Trumbo are among the reserves, and Brad Brach and Zach Britton are on the pitching staff.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter told Brach’s wife, singer-songwriter Jenae Cherry, to pass along the news to her husband.

Arrieta is among five firsttime All-Stars on the NL pitching staff, joined by New York’s Noah Syndergaard and Jeurys Familia, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Kenley Jansen and Miami’s A.J. Ramos. Other NL pitchers include Washington’s Stephen

Strasburg, the Giants’ Madison Bumgarner, the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez and Atlanta’s Julio Teheran. Washington’s Max Scherzer was bypassed.

Jansen entered Tuesday with the second most saves (133) in baseball since the start of 2013.

After being overlooked each of the past few seasons, he had been making plans to spend the break with his family at a beach or Disneyland.

Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances were picked for the AL bullpen from the New York Yankees’ Run BMC trio but Aroldis Chapman was left off after missing the first 29 games of the season while serving a domestic violence suspension.

Miller and Wright are among seven first-time All-Stars on the AL pitching staff, joined by Brach, Tampa Bay’s Alex Colome, Toronto’s Marco Estrada, Brach, Houston’s Will Harris and Cleveland’s Danny Salazar. Other AL pitchers include Chicago’s Chris Sale and Texas’ Cole Hamels.

Petco Park is the second of four straight NL ballparks to host the All-Stars, following Cincinnati last year and ahead of Miami in 2017 and Washington in 2018. Because of that, the AL will be the home team, wear white uniforms and use the Padres clubhouse.

Wil Myers was the only Padres player picked.

St. Louis’ 1963 infield included first baseman Bill White, second baseman Julian Javier, third baseman Ken Boyer and shortstop Dick Groat. The 1976 Reds’ starters were catcher Johnny Bench, second baseman Joe Morgan, shortstop Dave Concepcion, third baseman Pete Rose and outfielder George Foster.

The AL has won the game three straight times and is 10-3 since the All-Star winner has determined home-field advantage in the World Series.

Venus Rising: Williams back in Grand Slam semi six years later, joins Serena LONDON (AP) — In some ways, making it to a Grand Slam semifinal is rather been-there, done-that for Venus Williams.

She is, after all, already the owner of seven major titles, including five at Wimbledon.

This one, though, is different.

She’s 36 now, a half-dozen years removed from her last such run. And, in the interim, she has been through the daily struggles of dealing with a disease that can sap energy and cause joint pain.

Williams made it to the final four at the All England Club for the first time since 2009, and at any Grand Slam tournament since the year after that, playing mistake-free to beat Yaroslava Shvedova 7-6 (5), 6-2 in the quarterfinals Tuesday.

Asked to compare her current level of play to that of the past, Williams shook her head, shut her eyes and laughed.

Just like in the old days, Williams will be joined in the semifinals by a familiar face — younger sister Serena, who moved closer to equaling Steffi

V. Williams

S. Williams

Graf ’s Open-era record of 22nd Grand Slam championships by defeating 21st-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-4, 6-4, taking the last three games of each set.

Serena hit 11 aces, including one at 123 mph to end it.

This, then, is the latest chapter of the remarkable Williams sister tale: a pair of siblings from Compton, California, who rose to the top of tennis. It’s the 11th time they’ve reached the semis at the same major; in all previous 10, one took home the trophy. That includes four all-in-the-family finals at Wimbledon, with Venus winning in 2008, and Serena in 2002, 2003 and 2009.

On Thursday, they will try to set up another title match when No. 1 Serena faces unseeded Elena Vesnina, while No. 8 Venus meets No. 4 Angelique Kerber.

The last men’s quarterfinal spot was earned by 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych, who completed his 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (8), 6-7 (9), 6-3 victory over Jiri Vesely in a match suspended after the fourth set Monday night because of darkness. On Wednesday, the semifinalists will be determined by these matchups: Andy Murray vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Roger Federer vs.

Marin Cilic, Milos Raonic vs.

Sam Querrey and Berdych vs.

Lucas Pouille.

About 1 1/2 hours after winning her singles match, Venus went back out to team with Serena and win a doubles match to get to that event’s quarterfinals.

One more victory each in singles, and they’ll be sharing the court again — except on opposite sides of the net, reprising their one-of-a-kind rivalry. Just like in the old days.

Maddon tossed in Reds’ win over Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — Joe Maddon could make light of his latest ejection, saying he got in a workout and snacked on some buttered raisin bread after he got tossed.

On a day when the Cubs lost again, their manager found at least a few positives.

John Lackey’s winless streak stretched to five starts, Maddon was ejected and the Cincinnati Reds beat struggling Chicago 9-5 on Tuesday behind Zack Cozart’s 13th home run.

Lackey (7-5) allowed six runs — five earned — six hits and five walks in six innings, dropping to 0-3 in his past five starts. The Cubs have lost five of their last six games and 10 of 15.

Maddon was ejected for the second time this season. David Ross was batting in the second, took a 3-0 pitch and started heading to first, only for plate umpire Jerry Meals to call a strike. Maddon got tossed by Meals as he protested from the dugout, then came out for a spirited argument that lasted a few more minutes.

“It was pretty much the culmination of other calls that were going against us recently at the plate,” he said. “I think it kind of boiled over in that moment. I haven’t had a day off in a while.”

Joey Votto added two RBIs and Jay Bruce homered as the Reds beat the Cubs for the second time in 12 games this season after nearly blowing a 5-0 lead. Cincinnati won for just the third time in 14 games overall.

Cozart doubled and scored in the fourth. He also went deep in Monday’s loss.

“Everybody wants to beat the Cubs,” said Billy Hamilton, who had two hits and scored two runs. “They’re the best team in baseball. We know we can beat those guys. This was a big day for us.”

Kris Bryant hit his major league-leading 25th home run for Chicago. Addison Russell went deep twice, giving him giving him three homers in the past two games. Javier Baez also connected against Brandon Finnegan (4-7).

Finnegan gave up five runs and five hits in five innings, including four homers that matched Jon Moscot’s season-high for Cincinnati at Colorado on May 31. He had lasted a career-low 2 1/3 innings against Washington in his previous start.

Bryant, Baez and Russell each connected in a four-run third.

Russell added a solo drive in the fifth that cut it to 6-5.

Votto made it a tworun game with an RBI double off Travis Wood in the seventh and Bruce bumped the lead to 9-5 with a two-run drive against Pedro Strop in the ninth.

Raisel Iglesias pitched two-hit ball over three scoreless innings in relief for Cincinnati. Suburban Chicago product Tony Cingrani, celebrating his 27th birthday, worked the ninth.

Early lead holds for Colfax-Mingo baseball

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News WEST DES MOINES — Colfax-Mingo freshman Zarek Hill helped himself at the plate when he singled, stole second, took third on flyout and scored on a passed ball in the second inning of the Tigerhawks’ baseball game with Iowa Christian Academy.

The early lead proved to be beneficial for Hill as he did the rest on the mound during non-conference action Tuesday.

Hill struck out seven and allowed two earned runs, and the Tigerhawks’ early 3-0 lead held up in a 7-4 victory.

Colfax-Mingo, which won five games last year, is now 1313 on the season.

Hill put the Tigerhawks

Camp

Hill

up 1-0 in the first inning. Junior Adam Teed made it 2-0 when he walked, stole second, moved to third on a single by junior Jimmy Camp and then scored on a flyout by sophomore Alex Lewis.

In third inning, sophomore Misha Seebeck singled, took second base after an error and then scored on an RBI single by sophomore Jarod Nichols.

Iowa Christian Academy

made things interesting later in the day, but the Tigerhawks held on to win. Colfax-Mingo led 5-3 after four innings and plated two runs in the sixth to seal the victory.

Camp finished with two hits, a run and an RBI, while Seebeck was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Senior Jacob Buehrer’s lone hit was a double. Hill allowed four hits on the mound.

The Tigerhawks’ busy week continues at 7 p.m. Wednesday with a trip to Colo-NESCO. That game will be played in Zearing.

Colfax-Mingo plays at 7 p.m. Thursday at Central Decatur and then at 7 p.m. Friday at Woodward-Granger.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Reghan Robinette fields a ground ball at first base Tuesday during the Tigerhawks’ win over Melcher-Dallas in the opening round of the Class 1A Region 6 tournament. The Tigerhawks won the game 12-0 in four innings.

Tigerhawks: rout Saints, advance to quarters Continued from Page 1B The double by Russell came after she popped up to the first basemen in foul territory, but the ball was dropped.

Russell took third after an illegal pitch by freshman Emillie Krpan. She sprinted home after junior Alivia Haley hit an RBI sacrifice fly.

In the second inning, freshman Chelsea Russell walked to open the frame.

She went to third on Wilson’s single and then scored on a wild pitch.

Wilson scored on Amy Russell’s RBIs single, and then Amy Russell stole second before scoring on a twoout error by Melcher-Dallas (12-16). Sophomore Rhiannon Haley walked before that and also scored on a fly ball hit by freshman Colbee Cunningham that was dropped in center field.

Freshman Mackensie Brown opened the third inning with a lead-off walk.

Wilson drew a two-out walk three batters later, and then Amy Russell made it 9-0 with a three-run home run.

Russell’s homer, her sixth of the year, was a no doubter to left field. She is now hitting .540 on the season and has 42 RBIs. “She is so talented. Her hitting, in my coaching career, is right there at the top with anyone I have coached,” Poulter said. “She sees the ball, squares the ball and uses all fields.”

That was plenty of support for Amy Russell in the circle.

The Tigerhawks added three more in the fourth and ended the game anyway.

Freshman Braedynn Rawlins began the fourth inning with a walk, went to second on a single by Brown and then both runners moved up a base after a wild pitch.

Chelsea Russell made it 10-0 with an RBI single that scored Rawlins and freshman Delaney Underwood’s RBI groundout to shortstop plated Brown.

Chelsea Russell was called safe at home after getting caught in a run down following a ground ball to second base by Wilson. Chelsea Russell paused between third and home when the throw

by Hallie Parker came home.

Russell induced a throw to third base and then took off for home. She ended the game when her slide avoided the tag at the plate.

Amy Russell struck out the side in the third but stranded two runners after hitting Sam Selby and walking Krpan.

The Saints reached base two more times against Amy Russell in the fourth. Anndee Clark reached on an error, and Gracie Mann walked.

The inning and game ended though when Amy Russell fanned Parker for the second time in the game.

Amy Russell improved to 14-4 on the season. She struck out seven in the game and now has 103 strikeouts on the season.

Krpan (10-12) came into the game with more than 100 strikeouts on the season but fanned just one Tigerhawk on the night. She allowed 10 earned runs on eight hits and walked six.

Amy Russell finished 3-for-3 with three runs and five RBIs. Wilson was 2-for-3 with three runs and an RBI. Brown and Chelsea Russell both scored twice.

“You just see it and hit it.

It was coming in slow tonight so you just have to wait on it and hope to get good contact,” Amy Russell said.

The victory for Colfax-Mingo was its fifth straight. Lynnville-Sully has won five of its last six games to get to 16-16 on the season.

The Tigerhawks defeated Lynnville-Sully, 15-4, in five innings in the season opener in Colfax. The Hawks closed that gap to a 4-3 loss in Sully on June 20. Wednesday’s playoff game will be in Colfax and begin at 7 p.m.

“If I have a preference I wouldn’t want to play a team three times in one season,” Poulter said. “They’ll be well coached, and they’ll bring the elements that they are best at and we’ll have to stop it.

“It was nice to get it done early tonight with the heat and humidity being a factor.

We’ll need to find the gas in the tank again. It will be hot (Wednesday), too.”

Kevin Durant’s move to the Warriors changes the NBA land

By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press Four All-Stars, two MVPs, a whole new Splash Family in Golden State.

Kevin Durant’s decision to join the Warriors on Monday sent tremors through the NBA, and players and executives throughout the league immediately started to Durant contemplate how the newest super team would alter the landscape.

“Thats crazy!!!! KD in GSW????” Wizards center Marcin Gortat tweeted. “(Are) they gonna score 200 points a game?”

The Warriors already were a super team before one of the league’s most unstoppable scorers decided to leave Oklahoma City for the Bay Area. Golden State won the championship in 2015, rolled to a regular-season record 73 victories last season and came within one game of backto-back titles when they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Now they have added the player who nearly eliminated them a round earlier.

Though not everyone is anointing them next year’s champions.

“Everyone is so hyped up on the matchup problems on the offensive end? They still gotta come down the other end,” Pistons All-Star center Andre Drummond tweeted.

“Not a very big team.”

Durant’s decision immediately rekindled the discussion about stars leaving teams to chase a championship elsewhere.

Durant spent his first nine seasons in Oklahoma City.

While there, he helped lead the Thunder to the Western Conference finals four times and to the NBA Finals

in 2012, where they lost to the Heat, another super team formed when LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in Miami.

Durant himself spoke out negatively about creating super teams when James made his decision in 2010.

But after the Thunder could never get to the top of the mountain with Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka — and even though they had the Warriors down 3-1 in the conference finals — Durant opted to head west.

When James left Cleveland for Miami, stars such as Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson were critical of the decision to join forces with players he had competed against.

“There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry (Bird), called up Magic and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team,’” Jordan said in 2010.

“But that’s ... things are different. I can’t say that’s a bad thing. It’s an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys.”

While Durant has never been too concerned by outside opinions, his decision also may have ramifications on the NBA’s collective bargaining negotiations.

During the last lockout, the owners pushed to make changes to the agreement so that teams, especially those in smaller markets, would have a bigger advantage in retaining players.

Commissioner Adam Silver has said in the past that those changes were effective, but the influx of new money into the system this summer from the league’s new $24 billion television contract, and Stephen Curry’s bargain contract that was negotiated when he was struggling with ankle injuries, conspired to give the Warriors enough wiggle room to spend $54 million on Durant.

Astrograph

Sadness is about the past. Anxiety is about the future. Avoid both by sticking as close as you can to right now. Maybe you know how to get “there,” but do you know how to get “here”?

With the auspicious arrangement of Venus and Mars you can add flirting to that list of exercises to make you feel very engaged and vitally alive in the present.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 6). Love in reciprocation will be the joy of this solar cycle. Of course you’ve loved and been loved back before, but there’s something special about the way this occurs this year. Something you’ve waited for will be yours

within 10 weeks. September brings the right teacher to develop your moneymaking muscles. Pisces and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 46, 5, 8, 21 and 10.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You can think of quite a few things that are best paid for with compensation other than money, and today you can even put “meals” in the category, as your home efforts will go much further than anything you could purchase.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When the energy is off, everything else will be off, too. Do

what it takes to get your mind, body and spirit into the right conditions for creating what you want. Even if this takes a few hours, it will be worth it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When the rituals you rely on to feel normal get interrupted, that shouldn’t displace your entire sense of purpose. If it does, it’s a signal to come up with a purpose that’s stronger, with deeper roots.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you pretend to be someone else and they love it, you’ll be in a pinch, with lots of pressure to keep pretending. On the other hand, if there’s no act, you’ll never have to drop it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). At the

core of this day is an innate drive to create something unique from your experiences. After all, no one ever has or ever will walk this world in quite the same way you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Before you would have reacted strongly to frustrations like today’s, but you’re a lot more patient now. When you feel frustration, you know it won’t be long before your strong sense of reason takes over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you’re involved in now isn’t really a competition, though it may be presented that way.

Furthermore, you can believe in yourself wholeheartedly without dismissing the efforts of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You can’t help but speculate about what might have happened if you’d arrived on this scene a little sooner or a little later. This will inform your next move, but it won’t change where you’re starting from today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll probably feel more like dancing around the work than actually doing it, and that’s OK, too. If you keep your eyes open while dancing, you’ll notice something key that could change everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Given the luxury of a long stretch of time, all the “maybe someday” things will be put off indefinitely, thereby remaining in that same category forever.

Want it done? Give yourself a deadline and do it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Don’t presume to know what the others are thinking or how they are judging the scene. One person’s refreshingly entertaining enterprise is another person’s been-there-done-that. You’ll only find out by asking.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a true original, a totally unique presence in the world. So why do you feel like you’re blending in, unheard and unseen? It’s a distortion.

Change the dynamic, and most importantly, change how you think about it.

IndyCar, Iowa Corn and Iowa Speedway celebrating 10 years

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Partnerships and branding are essentials in the motorsports world.

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small points to a 10-year partnership right here at Newton’s 7/8-mile track as one of the best in the business. Sunday will be the 10th running of IndyCar racing at Iowa Speedway sponsored by Iowa Corn.

“What a natural and authentic partnership this is. It’s an amazing one,” Small said. “IndyCar was the first major racing series to take a chance on Iowa Speedway. Iowa Corn coming to the table at the same time here was the right elements at the right time.”

The Verizon IndyCar Series’ Iowa Corn 300 is the feature race in the Speedway’s second weekend of racing this season. Racing fans will see contrasting styles of racing this Saturday and Sunday at the track with the ARCA Racing Series Casey’s General Stores 150 and the IndyCar racing.

ARCA is another stock car racing series where drivers are making their marks to find opportunities to move into the NASCAR racing levels. The ARCA Casey’s General Stores 150 is at 8 p.m. Saturday.

On Sunday, racing fans will see the Indy Lights Iowa Challenge presented

starts at 4:35 p.m. and will be broadcast on NBCSN and the Advance Auto Parts IndyCar Radio Network.

“Racing on Sunday is huge as it was two weeks ago for our NASCAR Xfinity Series race,” Small said. “The Iowa Corn 300 is the only major motorsports race on television Sunday, so all eyes will be on our track, our town and our state.”

Iowa Speedway opened in the fall of 2006. IndyCar came to the Newton track in 2007 with Iowa Corn with the race entitlement. The race represents the second longest running entitlement in IndyCar competition.

Small said for IndyCar to take a chance in racing on the short track here in Newton was big then and is still big. IndyCar Series racing is done on road courses and big ovals, he said.

“It is atypical for Indy cars to race on short ovals like ours mainly because their speed is so high. This place is built perfect for these guys to come out and race on our track,” Small said.

“We’ve got multiple grooves for these guys to race in, and it can be three wide in certain cases during a race.”

The race was the Iowa Corn 250 until 2013, when 50 laps were added.

Small said he tries to take credit for the additional laps.

“Really, I just signed the document because that was my first year here and the deal was already set. Our fans wanted more and Iowa Corn wanted more

when Southeast Warren made a pitching change. Lynnville-Sully scored three more runs in the fifth in much the same pattern — bunting, base running and hitting balls to the gaps.

“We played solid defense as

because these cars go so fast around our track, and the race goes fast. We’re all about the fan experience.”

Iowa Corn as a race sponsor was perfect because Iowa is proud to be the top ethanol producing state and top corn producer. Small said the partnership was created at the right time when IndyCar was making the transition to ethanol fuel for its racing.

we have all year. We’re playing our best ball right now, which is what you want to see as a coach,” Alberts said.

Pirates deck Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Leake started strong and fizzled out fast.

The St. Louis Cardinals righthander gave up all five runs in the fifth and sixth innings in a 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.

“Unfortunately, it’s been the name of the game so far this year,” Leake said. “I think at some point it will not happen.”

Leake (5-7) has lost his last three outings with a 6.06 ERA but manager Mike Matheny saw the positives in an up-and-down year from the team’s top free agent pickup. The previous start was strong, two earned runs allowed in seven innings against the Royals.

“I think Mike was about kind of what we hoped for — he kept us in the game and we’ve got to make plays to help him,” Matheny said. “It comes down to the fact that we didn’t get many big hits or many hits at all.”

Leake held the Pirates to two

singles the first four innings before getting burned by two former Cardinals. Eighth-place hitter Eric Fryer had an RBI single in a two-run fifth that tied it and a two-run double in a three-run sixth, and David Freese had an RBI single in the sixth.

Josh Harrison also had an RBI for Pittsburgh.

The Cardinals released Fryer when backup catcher Brayan Pena came off the 15-day disabled list and the Pirates claimed him off waivers on Sunday. He batted .368 with St. Louis with five RBIs in 38 at-bats behind seven-time All-Star Yadier Molina but Pena has a two-year, $5 million contract.

The Cardinals got RBIs from Jedd Gyorko and Matt Holliday, and Randal Grichuk was a minor bright spot with a pinch-hit single in the ninth. Grichuk was recalled from Triple-A Memphis after Brandon Moss was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle.

“The horsepower and speed from these cars are generated by corn-bases ethanol. What a natural partnership to happen for these two and Iowa Speedway,” Small said. “We’re happy and proud to be a part of it.”

and a single produced a run, Alberts switched pitchers.

Loftus went to the circle for Fisk and the Hawks allowed two more runs, but that was it.

Lanser and Kristen Der Wilt were hit by pitches to open the seventh inning.

Warhawk starting pitcher Kennedy Johns returned to the circle, and she was greeted by a bunt single by Fisk as two runs crossed the plate.

The Hawks kept the line moving as Shilo Cunningham had a bunt single then swiped second and third. James was hit by a pitch followed by a bunt single by Ehresman, a RBI ground-out by Loftus and a two-run single by Conover.

Conover pitched the seventh inning for Lynnville-Sully, allowing a hit to start then retired the next three batters.

Fisk got the pitching win, going five innings and giving up two runs on six hits and one walk. She struck out two. Loftus allowed one run on three hits.

Lanser had a single and a double with three RBIs. Loftus and Fisk each had two singles. Cunningham, James and Conover each had a single.

“We knew this was do or die. If you don’t win there’s no ‘see you tomorrow on the field,’” Lynnville-Sully senior left fielder Shelby Foster. “We knew what we needed to do.

We’ve played Colfax-Mingo twice and definitely prepared for (Wednesday’s game).

We’re going to go out and put the ball in play and play a good game.”

Alberts said it took her and her coaching staff some time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each player this season. She said they were looking to find the right balance with the players on the field.

“When they are all clicking, they each bring something different to the team, which complements each other,” Alberts said of the Hawk team with just three seniors on it.

“The girls are understanding their roles on the team, playing within themselves and we as coaches know what to ask of them at the plate and defensively.”
