Parking fines, snow ordinance violation fees increase

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Forgetting to move your vehicle will now cost you a little more in Newton.

Newton City Council approved increased fee rates for general parking violations and snow ordinance violations on Tuesday.

“Despite the ample free parking the city continues to see three-hour parking violations in the uptown area on regular basis,” city administrator Bob Knabel said.

The fee increase brings the fine from $8 to

$15 for parking offenses and increases the late fee from $5 to $10 for fines not paid within 30 days.

The city found that compared to nine area cities, Newton had the lowest rate. Those with a higher rate included Knoxville, Carroll, Oskaloosa and Grinnell at a $10 fine and Boone, Pella, Carlisle, Marshalltown and Ottumwa charging $15.

It was hoped with the removal of the parking meters in the downtown parking lots, usage would increase and parking fines would decrease.

The city has seen a slight

increase in lot usage, averaging 13 percent more users from 2015 to 2016 but not to the level expected.

“Each of the free city parking lots are within half a block to one block of the uptown square area and provide ample parking opportunities,” Knabel said.

Councilman Jeremy Biondi voiced issues he and other downtown business owners have had moving their vehicles in a timely manner during the busy work day.

FINES | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Parking tickets are now going to cost drivers nearly double with the fine increasing from $8 to $15. The city continues to see regular violations of the three hour parking regulations and city council on Tuesday approved the increase to help deter violators.

Warning siren malfunction isolated Sirens are for outdoor warnings only

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A storm warning siren malfunction that happened in the early hours of Wednesday morning left residents confused, and a City of Newton official said it’s been pinpointed to one culprit siren that was recently installed.

Director of Public Works Keith Laube said Wednesday a new warning siren, located near Union Cemetery on Newton’s northwest side, sounded at around 2 a.m.

Wednesday morning at a time when there were no major weather concerns in central Jasper County.

“We installed a couple of new sirens this spring within the city, but the one near Union Cemetery seems to have a mind of its own,” Laube said. “We’ve had some people come out to take a look at it, and we thought we had it resolved, but we’ll be in touch with them again.”

The siren continued, even though local residents didn’t receive any type of text, phone or email alerts about dangerous weather.

Even though the city contacted both the installer and manufacturer about the issues, there is no guarantee the growing pains of bringing in a new siren are over, so another malfunction could occur.

Laube said it’s not surprising to anyone who works with warning sirens to have trouble getting all the components to work together well. It takes patience.

“Sometimes, it takes a while to work all the bugs out,” Laube said.

“We want sirens to be set up so that they be set off quickly, when we need it, but not be so sensitive as to create false alarms. It’s not always easy.”

The only public notifications sent out Wednesday morning, generated separately by both the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and the Newton Police Department, were social media notices that the siren was malfunctioning and there was no tornado or other storm danger in the area.

The Jasper County Emergency Management Agency did not generate any direct warnings related to the siren. EMA Director Jim Sparks said any first-responder can send out an alert through the Wireless Emergency Notification System, or WENS, but Wednesday, that might have created more problems.

“It could have been used, but would probably have aggravated many more people than those that were concerned,” Sparks said.

“That is totally dependent on the SIRENS | 3A

Rollover south of Newton sends 16-yearold to hospital

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A single-vehicle rollover wreck along South 64th Avenue West, south of Newton, Tuesday afternoon led to one teen being taken to Skiff Medical Center.

At about 3:45 p.m.

Tuesday, a station wagon, driven by a Jamie R. Leavens, 16, of Colfax, lost control and rolled onto the driver’s side in a ditch in the 5000 block of West 64th Street West — a short gravel road located about halfway between Newton and Monroe.

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office did not release a report about the accident until Wednesday morning.

The girl was taken by ground ambulance to Skiff Medical Center. Her condition and the extent of her injuries were not available at presstime.

PC residents show vintage automobiles at Goodguys

By Alex Olp Prairie City News DES MOINES — A few Prairie City folks made their annual visit to the Goodguys Heartland Nationals Car Show July 1-3, not only to see thousands of rare automobiles and visit with other gear heads, but to display their antique cars as well.

Lifelong Prairie City resident Matt Moralez had two

cars for show on Saturday.

One is an orange 1968 Dodge Coronet he purchased from Prairie City Dodge Garage owner and good friend Rob Hoffman 12 years ago.

The other hot rod is a teal 1967 Plymouth Satellite that holds an interesting back story.

“I bought this for my old man for his birthday when I was 14 years old,” Moralez said. “My buddy and I were

out driving around one day and saw it sitting in some guy’s lawn. I re m e mb e re d my dad talking about one he had when he was younger, Moralez so I asked the guy how much he wanted for it and he said $500. So I said alright.”

“You kind of feel like that should of been when I was born — in the 50s and 60s.

That would of been awesome to see all those cars back then,” Moralez said. “When it’s sunny out and you see all the different colors it’s just like a kid in the candy store. I can’t keep straight — we have to go this way and then that way.”

Metro Image Grilling season is about half through and now is a great time to add variety to your grilling menu with healthy items.

Summer grilling — add variety, health to your list We are a couple of months into grilling season — a great time to add variety to your grilling adventures beyond traditional hamburger or hot dog options.

While we all love those summer favorites, it can be nice to add some variety, as well as some healthier choices. If you are ready to expand your grilling repertoire, keep reading for some tips to get you going.

Fish

Fish are flavorful, fast and loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fats. But even people who love fish sometimes shy away from grilling it. The trick is to use the right grilling method for the right fish.

Tuna steaks, salmon, halibut and swordfish are densely-textured and can be grilled directly on the grill grate, without having to worry about them falling through. More delicate fish such as tilapia and sole can be grilled

inside of a foil packet or grill basket.

Another key: marinate fish after — rather than before — grilling. Post-grill marinating ensures that the fish does not fall apart and still comes away with excellent flavor. Grilling fish is a great way to provide your family with a delicious meal, as well as all of the health benefits that fish provide. Check Hy-Vee.com for a variety of recipes for grilled fish.

Grilled turkey burgers

This month, the Hy-Vee Dietitian Pick of the Month is Lean Ground Turkey — a great choice to meet your family’s taste and nutrition needs and to position yourself as the ultimate burger grill master. Compared to a traditional ground beef burger of the same size (4 ounces), a burger made with Lean Ground Turkey has less than half the calories and about one-fifth as much saturated fat.

Think turkey burgers are too dry? Think again. Following a

Hawaiian Turkey Sliders 1 lb. 93 percent lean ground turkey 2 scallions, sliced 6 pineapple rings 6 toasted whole-wheat buns

few simple steps will ensure that your burgers are juicy and delicious.

Start by forming your patties from lean ground turkey, with a couple of tablespoons of finely diced onions or scallions mixed in. Patties should be an even thickness right up to the edges — about a half-inch. Make sure not to work the patties too much — over-mixing can result in dry, tough burgers.

After your patties are formed, keep them in the refrigerator until you are ready for grilling. Finally, flip the burgers only once during the cooking process and resist the temptation to press down on burgers with a spatula.

This will help the burgers retain all of their tasty juices inside, right where you want them!

After cooking to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F, let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes.

This will allow the burgers’ juices to settle and redistribute, resulting in juicy, flavorful turkey burgers. ​

2 T. reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce 1 large clove garlic, minced 1 small red onion, cut into rings 2 T. mayonnaise

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

2. Combine turkey, teriyaki sauce, scallions and garlic in a medium bow, knead together lightly. Form into six burgers, about 3 inches wide. Oil the grill rack.

3. Grill the burgers at 165 degrees, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill pineapple rings until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Grill onions until lightly charred and starting to soften, about 2 minutes per side.

4. Assemble the burgers on toasted buns with 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, 1 lettuce leaf, 1 pineapple ring and about 3 onion rings each.

5. Tips: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.

Local & State News Sirens Continued from Page 1A nature of the emergency. WENS is not activated locally for weather warnings.”

Sparks said WENS can be activated by any authorized public safety entity or dispatchers at any time there is imminent danger — real or potential — to the public. The use of WENS for non-emergency information is limited to the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“We had a number of people call and unsubscribe to WENS because they were woken up at 3 a.m. to be informed a prison-

er that escaped was captured,” Sparks said.

It was at least the second time this year the Union Cemetery siren had been set off inadvertently, with no severe weather near.

Laube thinks the cause of the malfunction comes from the siren picking up a frequency from a nearby community’s warning system, then sounding as if it had been activated. He said he’ll be in touch with the manufacturer and the installer to get the problem resolved.

Laube said the siren located near the corner of East 12th Street North and North 11th Avenue East is also extremely new. There have been no recent

malfunctions with that siren or any others in the city.

There are about 12 sirens within the city of Newton.

Adding to the confusion was the citywide monthly test of the sirens, scheduled for the first Wednesday of each month.

The 10 a.m. testing Wednesday went flawlessly, Laube said and will continue to be done on that same schedule.

While he realizes many people traditionally refer to the sirens as “tornado warnings,” Laube said the sirens could be activated for tornado, severe hail, straight-line wind and other severe weather warnings. The siren is a cue to take cover.

“As a business owner downtown, sometimes it is hard to get out and move your car,” Biondi said. “I would like to see if there could be a special pass for business owners for maybe six hours and even paying for that pass.”

Mayor Mike Hansen suggested a system similar to a previous pass that was available to those who wanted to park in the municipal parking lots when they were still metered. The pass came with an annual fee to park freely in the downtown parking lots.

Council decided to explore a potential parking pass and discuss options at a later meeting.

Also increased was the snow ordinance violation parking fee to $35 with a $10 late fee for fines not paid within 30 days.

“Over the past two years, the city has invested in snow clearing equipment that allows snow trucks to reduce passes during snow removal operations and ultimately making the operation more efficient,” Knabel said. “Cars parked on the streets during snow removal operations causes a major problem in both time savings and safety.”

While Newton’s violation fines are currently in line with other local communities, Newton does not take the extra step of towing the vehicles and has found that the current amount has not been a significant deterrent to remedy the issue.

With the increase in general parking fines and snow ordinance violation fees, the city estimates a $8,000 to $10,000 increase in parking revenues.

The Moralez family even makes sure they return to the same spot on the fairgrounds each summer, which is typically right behind fellow Prairie City residents Dale and Andy Strum.

The father-son duo has refurbished a black 1946 Chevy that went nearly 27 years without being driven. In 2001 the Strum’s bought the truck from a What Cheer resident, began working on it in January of 2002 and had it ready for a long road trip to Lincoln, Neb. just six months later.

“It was something that Andy and I wanted to do together and that’s how it got done in six months — both of us were working on it,” Dale said.

The latest upgrades to the old car have been a supercharger to the engine — mostly for decoration — and wood

Those who wish to get weather warnings through WENS can sign up on the WENS page to get a direct notification from the National Weather Service when they issue a weather warning.

The user can select tornado or severe thunderstorm warning, or both.

Sparks pointed out there is no universal means of activating all the sirens in the path of a storm.

Newton’s sirens are independent of any others in Jasper and surrounding counties.

“All sirens are owned and under the control of the city or jurisdiction they are in,” he said. “We do not own, operate, or maintain sirens through the

emergency management office.

The county dispatch does activate the sirens per agreement with the cities in the warned area when they receive a tornado warning from the NWS.” Sparks stressed sirens are only intended for people who are outside and can hear the noise.

“Folks should not rely on outdoor sirens for notifications if they are indoors,” Sparks said.

“Weather radios or apps on phones are a much more reliable means of warning.”

flooring in the back of the truck. It even has an S10 frame on it which makes it feel like you’re driving a brand new truck, Dale and Andy said.

The Chevy didn’t see the road from 1975 to 2001, but now gets out regularly as Dale and Andy try to drive it at least once a week, usual-

ly on the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge Entryway Road.

Much like the Moralez family Goodguys is a tradition for the Strums, who attend multiple car shows a year including the Minnesota Street Rod Association and, of course, Prairie City’s annual car show.

“All the cars and all

It’s just people and their cars.”

The people behind Juno T

Trending Mike Mendenhall

he 24-hour cable news cycle and social media feeds are littered with stories of failed government — United States political turmoil, United Kingdom’s “Brexit,” Saudi Arabia perpetuating and endorsing homophobic and sexist culture, human rights/free speech suppression in China.

Everywhere, people are loosing faith in their governments. But there is always Juno.

I don’t know why our president and congress are not talking more about the successes of NASA. It’s a model for international cooperation through the International Space Station — making huge gains in research and development with space agencies

from many world nations talking to one another through science.

NASA has made partnerships with multi-national corporations to cut costs and boost commercial stakes in space exploration. This U.S. government agency successful and seamlessly works with the Russian Space Agency during a time of strained relations between the two countries.

And then there’s Juno.

A solar-powered space craft no larger than a school bus, Juno entered into orbit around Jupiter on Monday. This is only the second time any Earth space agency has accomplished this, the first being NASA’s Galileo spacecraft in the mid-1990s.

Engineers and scientists at NASA

pulled off what they’ve characterized as the most difficult maneuver ever attempted by a spacecraft — manned or unmanned. After using the Earth’s rotational velocity to slingshot itself past the asteroid belt, Juno entered the region of space dominated by the gravitational pull and radiation of the “King of Planets.”

The spacecraft had to go into radio silence with Earth as it turned its engine toward Jupiter for a 35 minute burn to slow its approach. Finally, Juno had to pivot once again to point its solar panels toward the Sun and reestablish radio contact with Earth.

This was all done relatively blind from NASA’s mission control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

During the next 20 months Juno will analyze Jupiter’s inner core, answering an old question in planetary science — does our solar system’s largest planet have a solid core? It will

test Jupiter’s atmospheric composition for water and heavy elements.

Juno’s primary mission is to discover the secrets of Jupiter’s formation, widely thought to be the oldest planet in our solar system. This could give NASA scientist clues about how our planetary system as a whole formed.

But the data must be analyzed by people.

Politics might be broken, but people are not. The government institutions which defend our nation, advance planetary, earth and climate science, build our roads and bridges all have flaws, but there are people behind the efforts — people with personal pride who are all too modest about their completed projects.

We can change the political system, but lets not forget, given the right conditions, people make government work.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Woman crosses US on highwheeler Carolyn Carter, 68, will be the first woman to cross the United States on a highwheeler. A highwheeler is one of those old fashioned bikes with the huge front wheel and tiny back wheel. The reason I say “will be the first woman,” is because Carolyn Carter and her husband, Steve, are only halfway across the United States. I spied them riding by our house on U.S. Highway 34, conspicuously tall and odd looking on their highwheelers. I jumped in the truck, chased them down like a madman and got their very interesting, highly unusual story.

The Carters, from Texas, had started the day in Ottumwa and would be spending the night in a motel in Mt. Pleasant. They are following the original route established by Thomas Stevens in 1884, who rode his 50-inch Colombia highwheeler from San Francisco to Boston, a trek of 3,200 miles. It took him 107 days, following the railroad right-of-way. The Carters belong to a club called the The Wheelmen. Many of its members have duplicated the course. In fact, Steve Carter, now age 72, made the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest crossing on a highweeler. Riding 100 miles a day, Steve accomplished this feat in 1992 in 33 days, with Carolyn driving the support vehicle.

It’s Carolyn’s turn now. Steve is driving support.

Through research, they have determined that a woman has never attempted the crossing on a highwheeler.

Carolyn may be the next one in the Guinness Book of World Records.

They started their adventure on May 29, with Carolyn dipping the tiny rear wheel of the highwheeler in San Francisco Bay. They want to complete the crossing by Aug. 1, dipping the huge front wheel into Boston Harbor. That would be 63 days.

Highwheeler bikes are also known as “originals,” “The Wheel,” and “penny-farthings” — an English term equating the large English penny with the front wheel, and the smaller farthing with the back wheel.

Also, people often think the highwheeler bikes are replicas, because they are so shiny. The highwheelers shine because they are nickle plated. The spokes have been replaced, along with the seat, and the solid rubber on the wheels. Other than that, they are original.

Carolyn’s bike is an 1888 Victor, with a 46-inch front wheel. Steve’s is an 1889 Colombia, with a 53inch wheel. The reason the front wheel is so large is because the wheel is the main gear of the bike. A smaller-wheeled bike can climb hills better, but when you go down hill, because the pedals never stop turning, your feet spin faster than on a larger-wheel bike.

At about 22 mph, the rider has to remove his or her feet from the pedals and let the feet hang.

On a typical day, both Carolyn and Steve try to leave the motel by 6 a.m. Steve rides along with Carolyn for 10 to 15 miles, then rides back to the motel, checks out and catches up to Carolyn with the truck.

He replenishes her supplies, then drives ahead, parks, and rides back. Carolyn, wearing a water pack on her back, eats six small meals a day and averages 60 miles, finishing each day in the afternoon. Her objective is to enjoy the ride. She is a retired realtor and school bus driver. Steve is a retired fire fighter. Both of them, in addition to bike riding, have been long-distance runners. About the only fast food they eat is a Subway sandwich or a Frosty from Wendy’s.

They both declare without hesitation that, “Anybody can ride across America if they want to. It just depends on how quickly they’re going to do it.” You can find Carolyn on Facebook at Carolyn Crosscountryride. The Wheelmen’s website is, www.thewheelmen.org.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Clearing some misconceptions about felons and voting Despite what you might have read or heard recently, felons are not permanently barred from voting in Iowa. There are a lot of misconceptions regarding this issue. I hope to clear up some of those.

After completing their sentence, felons can petition the governor’s office to have their voting privileges restored by filling out a simple 13-question form. It is not an arduous process. Out of those that correctly filled out the application, 100 percent had their privileges restored.

It is a shame most felons do not even try. I encourage those groups saying more felons should be allowed vote to step up and help felons go through the restoration process.

The media reports criticizing Iowa’s process as “too burdensome” compared to other states are also inaccurate. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, eight states like Iowa require action by a gover-

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate nor or court to approve restoration. Many other states require a waiting period and verification process before voting privileges are restored.

I applaud the Iowa Supreme Court for their decision to uphold the Iowa Constitution regarding felons voting. The constitution is clear: People convicted of an “infamous crime” lose their voting privileges. Infamous crimes have consistently equated to all felonies and the Supreme Court correctly ruled that nothing has changed that definition during the ensuing 159 years. If the court ruled differently, felons behind bars in Iowa would be able to vote.

I am not opposed to felons having their voting privileges restored. However, I believe they

should show some effort toward becoming productive members of society before that happens.

Another misconception is that all of a felon’s fees and restitution must be paid before voting privileges can be restored.

That is true in many states, but not in Iowa. If felons are upto-date on their payment plan, their privileges will almost assuredly be restored. Again, 100 percent of those who have tried have succeeded.

Democracy is worth fighting for. It is worth requiring those who have committed infamous crimes to show they are on the path to rehabilitation.

I will continue to encourage all eligible Iowans to participate in the electoral process, and I encourage all felons that care about the process to take the simple steps of getting their privileges restored. If they do that, my office will gladly help them register to vote and encourage them to participate in Iowa’s elections.

Stepson is on losing end of misspent child support

DEAR ABBY: I have an 8-yearold stepson, “Kaden,” whom I love dearly. Kaden spends the bulk of his time with his mother on the other side of the country. When he comes to visit us in the summer, his clothing and shoes are always ragged and a few sizes too small.

My husband pays child support and buys Kaden a new wardrobe every six months. Yet every time he comes to us, he’s never wearing anything his dad and I bought him, but what appear to be hand-me-down rags. We have spoken to the mother many times about it, but nothing changes.

We feel if we stop buying clothes for Kaden it would punish him, when it is his mom who isn’t spending the child support money on the boy. We have paid for extracurricular activities (sports) only for her to not take him there. She lies and says he doesn’t want to go, but we get a different story from the boy. He says she says, “Judo isn’t a real sport.” He has gained weight and we don’t want him to be picked on for it.

The state where the boy lives is not good about giving fathers custody of their kids, and the mom is not necessarily unfit. How can we make her see she’s hurting her kid? — MOTHER DOESN’T KNOW BEST DEAR M.D.K.B.: You can’t “make” another adult do something she isn’t inclined to do. However, what you can do is enroll Kaden in sports programs when he visits you during the summer months.

You and your husband can also talk to a family law attorney and find out at what age Kaden will be able to legally request to be placed with you. While a young child may not be able to do this, I believe a teenager can make a compelling case for it. If Kaden’s mother has been depriving him, it would make a persuasive argument for a change in custody.

DEAR ABBY: I really like this guy named “Gary.” He’s super sweet, funny, cute and just incredible. He’s my brother’s friend.

I’m in sixth grade and he’s in fifth. I think he might like me back. He asked me to follow his new Instagram account, and when I told him to tell my brother hi, he stared at me for a few seconds longer (plus he was smiling the whole time). One of my girlfriends sort of likes him, too.

What do I do? How do I tell him I like him? Is it OK for me to ask him to go to the park? His brother and my brother could go, too. Please help me. What do I do? — GIRL IN EL PASO, TEXAS DEAR GIRL: If Gary wants you to follow his Instagram account, it’s a pretty good sign that he has positive feelings for you. If you want to ask him to go to the park, and your parents don’t mind, go ahead and do it. But let me offer a couple of suggestions: If you ask him, DO include your brother and his brother because being with others will make it more fun.

And, everybody loves a compliment.

The compliment doesn’t have to be as blatant as “I like you,” which could embarrass some boys his age. A simple, “I think you’re great because (you’re really smart, you’re good at sports, you’re fun to be around, etc.)” should do the trick.

Teacher charged for having sex with high school student ANKENY — A 27-year-old high school teacher from Ankeny is facing charges after police learned she was having a sexual relationship with a former student.

Amanda Dreier has been charged with sexual exploitation by a school employee.

Even though the former student is 18, state law prohibits sexual relationships between teachers and students.

Dreier resigned from her teaching job at Ankeny High School last month after the investigation began.

Court backs jail for egg executives in salmonella case IOWA CITY (AP) — A father and son whose Iowa-based egg production company caused a massive 2010 salmonella outbreak can be required to serve jail time for misdemeanor food safety violations, a divided appeals court ruled Wednesday.

In a 2-1 decision, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld three-month jail sentences issued last year to 82-year-old Austin “Jack” DeCoster and his son Peter DeCoster, 53.

The DeCosters were aware of unsanitary conditions at their sprawling Iowa egg farms but failed to improve them before the outbreak, which sickened up to 56,000 people and left some with permanent injuries, Judge Diana Murphy wrote.

“We conclude that the record here shows that the DeCosters are liable for negligently failing to prevent the salmonel-

la outbreak,” Murphy wrote, joined by Judge Raymond Gruender.

The case, a rare prosecution against those responsible for an outbreak of foodborne illness, was closely watched by advocates for consumer safety and food and drug manufacturers.

The Justice Department praised the ruling, saying the DeCosters disregarded basic food safety standards for years and deserved jail time.

Attorneys for the DeCosters didn’t return messages seeking comment.

At issue was whether corporate executives could face imprisonment for violating the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which allows “responsible corporate agents” to be held criminally liable even if they were not aware of the wrongdoing.

The DeCosters, who owned and operated

City official accused of faking water tests SIDNEY (AP) — A city official in southwest Iowa failed to conduct daily drinking water quality tests for years but gave regulators false reports showing they had been completed, according to a criminal complaint released Tuesday.

Mark Travis, the certified water system operator for Sidney is charged with felonious misconduct in office and falsifying required water quality information. He made an initial court appearance and has been released on bond.

Travis, 35, falsified monthly operation reports given to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources from 2009 to 2015, according to the complaint filed by the Fremont County Sheriff ’s Office.

in a position to stop the problems had they known.

U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett ordered the jail time in April 2015, saying they knew or should have known about the risks posed by the presence of salmonella in and around millions of egg-laying hens. But he allowed the DeCosters to stay free while they appealed the sentences, which they argued were unconstitutional and unreasonably harsh.

Business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, filed friend-of-thecourt briefs backing the DeCosters’ appeal. They argued that it would be unfair to send corporate executives to prison for violations that they were unaware of or that were committed by subordinates.

The church asks for an order that keeps the state and the city from enforcing the rules that would allow biological males who identify as women from using women’s bathrooms, showers or changing rooms and the same for females identifying as men.

The church says it teaches that “maleness or femaleness is designed by God and is tied to biology, chromosomes, physiology, and anatomy.”

The church says the commission has published a brochure that says the state law sometimes applies to churches when they operate a child care facility or when church services are open to the public.

The church said since services are always open, the commission’s interpretation of the law could stop the church’s minister from preaching sermons addressing God’s design for human sexuality.

Louisiana police shooting caught on video strains community BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The mood was emotional, and at times angry, as evening unfolded in the working-class, predominantly black Louisiana neighborhood where the police killing of a black man was caught on videotape.

Hundreds of mourners, friends and family members of Alton Sterling, 37, gathered Wednesday in Baton Rouge for a second night of protest, prayer and remembrance.

Sterling was shot early Tuesday as he wrestled with two white police officers outside the convenience store where he sold music and movies on compact discs. Police say he was armed.

Cellphone video of the shooting posted online by a community activist set off angry protests, coming at a time when law enforcement officers across the country are under close scrutiny over what some see as indiscriminate use of deadly force against blacks.

In the latest death, a Minnesota officer shot a black man in a car with a woman and a child about 9 p.m. Wednesday, and authorities are looking into whether the aftermath of the killing was livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video.

Moving quickly to keep tensions from boiling over in Louisiana, Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards asked the U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday to lead a civil rights investigation into the killing.

“I have very serious concerns.

The video is disturbing, to say the least,” the governor said at a news conference.

AP Photo Protestors congregate at N. Foster Dr. and Fairfields Ave., the location of the Triple S convenience store in Baton Rouge, La., Wednesday. Alton Sterling, 37, was shot and killed outside the store by Baton Rouge police, where he was selling CDs.

Sandra Augustus, an aunt who helped raise Sterling after his mother died, spoke to the crowds Wednesday night with a tearful, broken voice.

She said a second video that emerged showing the moments before her nephew was shot left her angry.

“I’m angry, but I’m not angry enough to hurt nobody,” Augustus said. “I’m not angry enough to go into the street. I’m not angry enough to curse the police out. But I’m angry and I’m mad because they took something from me that I never ever will get back.”

Terrance Carter, Sterling’s 28-year-old nephew, wore a T-shirt with his uncle’s image printed on it. The police, he charged, went way too far.

“They did it wrong,” he said.

“They could have handled it better than they did. They didn’t have to shoot him!”

He said, though, the family was not condoning violent protests.

“The family just wants it to be peaceful,” he said. “I understand right now it’s bigger than us, but at the same time we’re just trying to work through this and be smooth with it.”

In a statement, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called the shooting a tragedy and said trust between police and the communities they serve needs to be rebuilt.

“Something is profoundly wrong when so many Americans have reason to believe that our country doesn’t consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin,” Clinton said.

FBI head defends outcome of Clinton email investigation WASHINGTON (AP) — Summoned before Congress, FBI Director James Comey defended the decision to not prosecute Hillary Clinton over her private email setup. He said there was no evidence that she or any of her aides knew that anything they were doing was against the law.

Comey’s appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee marked his first public statements since an FBI announcement that removed the threat of criminal charges

against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee but also revived public scrutiny of her handling of classified information.

“Our folks did it in an apolitical and a professional way,” Comey said of the FBI’s handling of its yearlong investigation.

When agents investigate allegations of criminal wrongdoing, they look for proof not only that a crime was committed but also that a person knew that what he was doing was wrong. That evidence did not

exist in this case, Comey said.

And though there is a statute that allows for felony prosecution for mishandling classified information with gross negligence, that law has been used only once in the 99 years since it was enacted — and that was in a case involving espionage, he said.

“They have grave concerns about whether it’s appropriate to prosecute someone for gross negligence,” he said of department officials.

Committee chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told

Comey that the FBI’s decision revealed a “double standard” for powerful people. Had the “average Joe” done what she had done, he said, he would go to prison.

“If your name isn’t Clinton, or you’re not part of the powerful elite, then Lady Justice will act differently,” Chaffetz said in his opening statement, adding that the FBI had set a “dangerous precedent” in letting Clinton off the hook without consequences.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday that

she accepted the recommendations and findings of Comey and of her career prosecutors and would not file charges against Clinton. Lynch is likely to face questions of her own next week at a separate oversight hearing of the House Judiciary Committee.

Comey’s decision, and the way he delivered it, infuriated Republicans who felt that the FBI director in his unusually detailed and critical televised statement Tuesday had laid out a sufficient basis for prosecution.

Mason Mitchell chases Iowa Speedway history in Saturday’s ARCA race

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High first baseman Taylor Ryan keeps her eyes on the ball as she takes a throw to retire a hitter in a home game earlier this season. The Cardinals lost 5-4 to host Urbandale Wednesday to end their regular season.

J-Hawks beat Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News URBANDALE — Newton High’s Cardinal softball team pushed Class 5A eighth-ranked Urbandale right to the end of Wednesday’s non-conference game. The Class 4A 15thranked Cardinals concluded their regular season with a 5-4 loss to the J-Hawks.

Newton scored a run in the first inning. Urbandale countered with

two runs in its half of the frame.

The Cardinals pushed two runs across in the third to take a 3-2 lead over the J-Hawks. Urbandale regained the lead with two runs in the fourth and added a run in the fifth.

Anna Coyle was the losing pitcher for Newton as she allowed six hits.

Newton had seven hits led by Sydney Jenkins and Peyton Maher with two each.

Mason Mitchell, who is from West Des Moines, considered winning the 2015 ARCA Series race at Iowa Speedway his Daytona 500. Mitchell hasn’t had a start in the 2016 season for ARCA, but he will be back at Iowa Speedway this weekend for the ARCA Racing Series ABC Supply Co. 150 presented by Casey’s General Store.

Can Mitchell make history at the Newton track Saturday night?

There have been no repeat winners in ARCA races at Iowa. ARCA has run at Iowa Speedway nine out of its 10 years of existence. There was no ARCA race at Iowa in 2014.

Steve Wallace won the first ARCA race at Iowa in 2006, and hometown hero Mason Mitchell won the most recent in 2015.

Other ARCA winners at Iowa include Frank Kimmel (2007), Matt Hawkins (2008), Parker Kligerman (2009), Tom Hessert (2010), Ty Dillon (2011), Alex Bowman (2012) and Grant Enfinger (2013). Dillon is the only repeat Menards Pole winner at Iowa, having

The green flag drops at 8 p.m. for the ABC Supply Co. 150, which will be broadcast live on Fox

“I can’t express how much I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel,” Mitchell said. “I can’t think of a better track on the ARCA schedule to make my first start of the 2016 season.”

Big sixth inning propels Raiders past Mustangs

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter freshman Hannah Caple swings at a pitch during the Raiders’ 14-4 win over Prairie City-Monroe on Wednesday in Collins. CMB scored 10 runs in the sixth inning to pull away.

Football is right around the corner B

elieve it or not, football season is right around the corner.

The softball playoffs have begun and high school baseball’s postseason begins this weekend. That leaves us with a little more than a month before high school football kicks off.

Folks at the Iowa Preps have already begun publishing online information about this upcoming season.

Writers at the website have started to post their preseason all-state teams.

Not every team is done. They have no first-teamers posted yet, and the second-team defense is still not online.

Several area athletes are listed in the other teams.

In Class 2A, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe have a to-

This & That Troy Hyde tal of five honorees so far.

Each school has a second-team offensive selection. CMB senior Archer McFadden is a preseason second-teamer on the offensive line, while PCM senior Noah Clark got second-team recognition as a wide receiver.

PCM’s Clayton Welch and CMB’s Jason Hillgren were both named to the preseason third team as defensive linemen.

Earning a spot on the 2A thirdteam offense was CMB tailback Blake Coughenour. Roland-Story’s Brett Staton also was a third-team quarterback.

You can bet PCM’s Luke Greiner and Ethan Thomas will be honored somewhere. I’d bet they are both firstteam selections.

Lynnville-Sully should get a lot of honorees when the entire Class A list

COLLINS — In Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s three wins over Prairie City-Monroe’s softball team this season, the Raiders needed big sixth innings to pull away.

The third win came Wednesday night during the opening round of the Class 3A Region 7 tournament. With the game tied at 4-all after five innings, CMB plated 10 runs in the sixth inning and ended the game early, winning 14-4 in six innings.

The Raiders never trailed but needed a big inning to eliminate long-time rival PCM. CMB sent 12 batters to the plate in the frame.

The Raiders (23-8) laced four doubles in the inning and were also walked three times and hit twice.

“I didn’t know that,” CMB coach Troy Houge said of the three big six innings. “I guess we’ll tell them that every inning is the sixth inning.

Plain and simple, the best thing I can say, is we did a good job of making adjustments in those games.”

The win pushes the Raiders into the regional semifinals. The Region 7 semifinals is 7 p.m. Friday in Collins against Heart of Iowa Conference foe Saydel.

The Eagles defeated Central Decatur, 12-2, on Wednesday.

CMB plated two runs

is released. Right now, the only member of the Hawks squad to be honored is quarterback Tyler Van Zante, who was picked to the second-team offense.

Colfax-Mingo’s Wyatt Owens also is a second-team selection as an offensive lineman, while Jimmy Camp was chosen as a third-team defensive lineman.

Montezuma, BGM, Belle Plaine and North Mahaska all have players who have been named to one of the teams that has been released, too.

BGM (LB Eric Weiss and DL Christian Sourley) and Montezuma (QB Logan Price and RB Carson Losure) both have two selections.

BGM wide receiver Jayce Knight has been selected to the Iowa Preps Elite Third Team offense. That’s an all classes, statewide list of the best players in the state.

Iowa Preps also may have given the Newton Cardinal football team some offseason motivation.

in the first inning to take an early lead. Junior Mikayla Eslinger smoked a two-run double to score junior Megan Ritter and junior Abbey Kahler, who walked and was hit by a pitch, respectively.

The Raiders drew seven walks in the game and were hit by four pitches.

“We needed to stay patient at the plate,” Houge said. “We waited for her to throw us a pitch we could hit.”

PCM junior Kayla Jennings gave up the two-run double to Eslinger but tied the game in the third when she drilled a two-out, tworun single.

Junior Brooke Nicholson doubled with two PROPELS | 3B

The site has picked Newton to finish last with Marshalltown selected as the team directly above the Cardinals.

In a surprise to no one, Iowa Preps predicts West Des Moines Valley as the District 4 champion.

Valley quarterback and Michigan State commit Rocky Lombardi as the district’s offensive MVP and Valley’s Ben Campos is the predicted defensive MVP. Iowa Preps predicted order of finish in the district is as follows: 1. Valley. 2.

Southeast Polk. 3. Fort Dodge. 4. Indianola. 5. Marshalltown. 6. Newton.

The popular opinion outside the town of Newton, and maybe even from some in Newton, will be that the Cardinals will struggle in 4A. But that doesn’t mean Newton has to struggle. Nothing is a guarantee, and a lot of coaches love being in the underdog role.

Newton will definitely be an underdog. Someone has to be.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe’s Shaun Hudnut announced recently the 2016 season will be his last as Mustang baseball coach.

Hudnut to step away from PCM baseball after season

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — With two ​ daughters starting to make their way through the Prairie City-Monroe school system, Mustang baseball coach Shaun Hudnut had a decision to make.

The decision to support his daughters in whatever they end up doing won out.

Because Hudnut didn’t want to miss future events, he decided recently the 2016 baseball season would be his last. For now.

“It really comes down to a family decision,” Hudnut said. “It’s a tough decision. It was something that has been in the back of my mind internally for a while. My daughters are getting older, and I don’t want to look back and say I missed whatever they are going to do.”

Hudnut’s oldest daughter, Belle, is going into the seventh grade. Addison will follow a few years later. So there won’t be a break between activities for eight to 10 years.

“It felt like it was the time to may-

be step out. We feel pretty good about where the program is at right now, too,” Hudnut said. “I’ll definitely miss it. In an ideal world, I’d like to do both, but I don’t want to miss out on whatever my daughter’s end up doing.”

Hudnut is in his seventh season as PCM head baseball coach.

The Mustangs are currently 11-17 and begin postseason play against West Marshall on Saturday.

Hudnut’s Mustangs went 9-17 last year and 11-15 in 2014. Before that, PCM was 19-15, 21-11 and 18-7.

Hudnut plans to support the squad as much as time allows.

He may even make a return to the program if the opportunity arises down the road.

“You have to make a tough decision sometimes,” Hudnut said. “I don’t know if I am done for good. For the foreseeable future I am, but if the job is open down the road when they are done with school, I won’t rule out not trying to come back.”

Coming home: Wade leaving Heat for Bulls MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade is going home, making what he called “an extremely emotional and tough decision” on Wednesday night to leave the Miami Heat after 13 seasons and sign with the Chicago Bulls.

Wade will sign a two-year deal with the Bulls, one that will pay him about $47 million. Miami offered $40 million over two years for Wade to stay in the uniform that he’s worn his entire career, the one in which he was an All-Star 12 times, a champion three times and the NBA Finals MVP in 2006 when his rise to superstardom was just truly beginning.

And he’s taken that uniform off now for the final time.

“This was not an easy decision, but I feel I have made the right choice for myself and my family,” Wade wrote in a letter to Miami, released to The Associated Press.

It ends a second consecutive summer of willhe-or-won’t-he talk and worry in Miami, which was able to keep him last summer after contentious negotiations led to a $20 million, one-year deal. The Heat spoke with him on Wednesday in New York in an effort to keep him, the same day that Wade also took meetings with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Denver Nuggets.

Whether Chicago ever got into the same room with Wade was unclear on Wednesday night.

What was clear was that whatever the Bulls said, and however they said it, was enough to get him out of Miami this time, after they missed on him twice before.

And even more clear was that the lure of home — just as it was for Wade’s close friend LeBron James two years ago, when he left Miami to go back to northeast Ohio and rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers — was too strong this time to ignore.

Federer erases twoset hole, three match points at Wimbledon LONDON (AP) — The match, and Roger Federer’s bid for a record eighth Wimbledon championship, essentially should have been over after a little more than 1½ hours Wednesday.

Already trailing two sets to none, he was down love-40 while serving at 3-all in the third.

Once that problem was solved, his quarterfinal against Marin Cilic really could have concluded 45 minutes later, when Federer faced a match point at 5-4 in the fourth. Or 10 minutes and two games later, when Cilic again was a point from winning. Or another 10 minutes after that, when Cilic held a third match point.

Through it all, Federer, a month shy of his 35th birthday, would not go away. And Cilic, who beat Federer in straight sets en route to the 2014 U.S. Open title, could not close the deal. Saving that trio of match points, Federer eventually emerged with a don’t-look-away-or-you’llmiss-something 6-7 (4), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 victory over Cilic to reach his 11th semifinal at the All England Club.

Indeed, he did. When he capped his escape with a pair of aces at 126 mph and 115 mph, the third-seeded Federer thrust both arms overhead and violently wagged his right index finger. He’s no longer ranked No. 1. He hasn’t won a Grand Slam trophy since 2012.

He dealt with knee surgery and a bad back this season, the first since 2000 that he arrived at Wimbledon without a title. He sat out the French Open, the first major he missed since 1999, raising doubts about his readiness for Wimbledon.

On Friday, Federer faces No. 6 Milos Raonic, a 6-4, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 winner against

No. 28 Sam Querrey, the man who surprised No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the third round.

Raonic, beaten by Federer in the 2014 Wimbledon semifinals, declared: “I’m happy that I have another shot at him.”

On the other half of the draw, No. 2 Andy Murray, the 2013 champion, barely avoided the same fate as Cilic and held off No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (10), 6-1, 3-6, 4-6, 6-1. Murray’s seventh Wimbledon semifinal will come against No. 10 Tomas Berdych, who eliminated No. 32 Lucas Pouille 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2.

It’ll be tough for any remaining match to achieve the intensity of Federer vs. Cilic.

Both served supremely well for stretches. Federer led in aces, 27-23, was broken only once, and in the last two sets, altered his stance on returns to get a better read on the ninth-seeded Cilic’s speedy serves.

There was a lot of quickstrike tennis, yes, but still room for lengthy, engaging points. There were rare signs of frustration from Federer, who swatted a ball angrily after one fault, then gave a line judge a talking-to about a call.

Most memorable, though, were Cilic’s wasted opportunities, starting at 3-3 in the third set.

He earned three break points by smacking a forehand passing winner. On the first, looking tight, Cilic netted a backhand. On the second, he sent a forehand long, and Federer let out a guttural yell.

On the third, Cilic’s backhand return went wide, and Federer shouted again. Federer took the next two points to hold, and at the ensuing changeover, fans chanted: “Let’s go, Roger! Let’s go!”

​Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter eighth-grader Abby Husak scored two runs as a pinch runner during the Class 3A No. 14 Raiders’ 14-4 win over Prairie City-Monroe on Wednesday in Collins.

Propels Continued from Page 1B outs, junior Jayci Vos walked and then junior Abby Waddell hit an infield single to load the bases.

Nicholson was 2-for-3 in the game. She scored her second run of the game in the fifth to help the Mustangs once again rally back to tie it.

After PCM tied the game at 2-all, CMB scored two runs with two outs to regain an advantage.

Kahler and senior Payge Jurgens collected back-toback walks, but pinch runner Husak was retired at third after Eslinger hit into a fielder’s choice.

Freshman Hannah Caple singled to load the bases, then eighth-grader Mikayla Houge blasted a two-run double to the gap in left-center field.

The lead stayed at 4-2 for CMB into the fourth inning when the game was paused for a 40-minute lightning delay.

Jennings struck out the CMB side of the fourth inning, and the Mustangs tied the game at 4-all with another big two-out hit. This time, junior Courtney Bridges hit a two-run single back up the middle against Kahler.

Nicholson began the inning with an infield single and then Waddell put two runners on base with a bunt single. With runners on second and third, Bridges’ tworun single tied it.

“PCM’s record is deceiving,” Coach Houge said.

“They are not as bad as the record shows. We had to fight for this one.”

CMB left two runners on in the fifth, and then PCM (11-18) stranded a runner at second in the sixth.

Eighth-grader Holly Jessen started the Raiders’ 10run inning with a lead-off walk in the sixth. Sophomore Jordynn Wesselink bunted and reached base on an error.

Ritter bunted with a runner at third and reached base when PCM tried to pickoff Jessen at third.

Pinch hitter Veronica Condon, a junior, drove in the game-winning run with a bases-loaded walk. Kahler followed the walk with a tworun double to make it 7-4.

“Hitting is contagious,” Coach Houge said. “I didn’t

envision that outcome. I knew we could score runs, but that was an unusual way to score them.

“I really wanted to get something on the board in that sixth inning and go into the seventh with the lead. I didn’t see 10 runs that inning.”

Jurgens walked to load the bases before Eslinger’s second two-run double of the night made it 9-4. Eslinger was 2-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored.

“The first one, I felt pretty confident about the first hit,” Eslinger said. “Then they started throwing me more inside pitches, and that is something I have been struggling with but working on. It was good to finally hit that last one and help the team out.

“We all have a lot of confidence in each other. We lean on each other when we need to. It was a team effort tonight. We all hit well tonight, and it finally showed in that last inning.”

Caple was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game to extend the inning, and then Houge made it 11-4 with a two-run double.

That base hit chased Jennings in favor of junior Chelbie Gillespie. Houge finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs and one run scored.

“I just wanted to help the team out,” Houge said. “We needed to get some runs across

the board in those spots, and I am glad I was able to help us get back in front.

“It was an exciting game.

We came out and just crushed the ball in the sixth. We hit well overall tonight, and hopefully we can do that in the games to come.”

In her second at-bat of the inning, Jessen was hit by a pitch.

That set up Ritter’s tworun double, and Jessen ended the game by run-rule when she scored on a wild pitch.

Jurgens walked twice, singled and scored two runs.

Kahler had two RBIs, freshman Abby Husak scored two runs and Ritter had two RBIs and scored twice. Jessen walked, was hit by a pitch and scored twice.

Kahler got the start in the circle for CMB and improved to 12-4 after the win. She allowed four earned runs on six hits and fanned eight in six innings.

Jennings (9-13) took the loss. She allowed 11 earned runs on seven hits and walked seven while hitting three and striking out five.

Gillespie came into the game with no outs in the sixth inning and got one out, allowed the two-run double to Ritter and hit Jessen.

Barnhart’s HR lifts Reds over struggling Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — The bullpen flopped, the offense disappeared late and the Chicago Cubs again couldn’t escape their worst funk this season.

Tucker Barnhart hit a goahead, three-run homer off Trevor Cahill in the seventh inning, and the Cincinna-

ti Reds beat Chicago 5-3 Wednesday — the Cubs’ 12th loss in 17 games.

A day after having seven players selected for next week’s All-Star Game, the Cubs lost to the last-place Reds for the second time in three days and dropped below the San Francisco Giants for

the majors’ best record.

Still, the Cubs had been atop the majors since April.

Shortstop Addison Russell couldn’t explain how they’ve lost their form.

“The past few weeks it hasn’t been working,” Russell said, “but we still have high hopes and high faith.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You are inherently worthy of love, and yet you still feel that you have something to prove, if only to yourself. Trying to impress others usually creates the opposite effect, but if you can impress yourself, well, that will be a thrill.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Even though intellectually you realize that your time is finite, pretending like you have all the time in the world will align you with the mythological gods, who are so much more powerful and creative for the luxury of their immortality.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is natural to assume that other people are like you. They not

always are. You’ll be a good judge of character as long as you don’t project your own personality onto the blank slate of an unknown person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

A civilized life removed from nature only serves to make the natural world a more uncertain place. Navigating natural realms will help the animal inside you and promote health and wellbeing on the deeper levels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You get along well with others, work and play nicely with your teammates and coexist harmoniously in whatever environment you find yourself in. And yet, you’ll be amazingly productive in a realm that’s entirely yours. Find it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When the unwitting hero of the horror movie puts a hand on the doorknob, the audience collectively thinks, “Don’t go in there.” It wouldn’t be a good flick if the hero heeded warnings. You’re not in the movie, though.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The theme is “romance” and what that means to you.

Sometimes it’s flowers and poetry. Sometimes it’s a special night out. Right now romance is a state of understanding. Your efforts to this end will be most effective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are willful and selfish urges inside each and every person. Over time, you’ve learned to curb these tendencies.

Witnessing them in others will be a little frustrating for you, though you can relate, so you have compassion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People want to be near you and will gather where you are.

Whether it’s at home or the lunch table or your work area, you’ll have to give major hints to get anyone to leave.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Working toward compromise is the natural state of relationships now, including the relationship between your lower and higher urges and instincts. If you can balance those, you can balance anything.

Tigerhawks rally past Hawks in 1A regional play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News COLFAX — Two youth-driven teams squared off on the softball diamond Wednesday in a Class 1A Region 6 quarterfinal game. As will happen, there were miscues made by both teams in the win-or-go-home contest.

Freshman Colbee Cunningham reached on an error in the bottom of the fourth inning with Class 1A No. 12 Colfax-Mingo trailing Lynnville-Sully, 4-3. The error by the Hawks allowed the tying run to score after Rhiannon Haley had doubled with one gone.

Cunningham ended up at third following another defensive miscue by the Hawks.

She took off for home when a pitch got past Lynnville-Sully catcher Kristen Van Der Wilt.

“I don’t remember if coach told me to go or not. I just went.

I was a bit scared I wouldn’t score,” Cunningham said after the Tigerhawks rallied for an 8-4 victory. She scored the goahead run for her team.

“The ball bounced just right, so it was awesome. This is a big accomplishment for our team,” Cunningham said.

Sophomore Tigerhawk catcher Rhiannon Haley said her team knew it had to stay alive and hit the ball after Lynnville-Sully had taken the lead. She said the Tigerhawks learned from their mistakes and put the ball in play.

“This was huge for us. We changed a lot as a team from last year to this season,” Rhiannon Haley said.

Colfax-Mingo flipped the script, going from 10-23 a year ago to 24-9 this season and still going. Colfax-Mingo hasn’t had a 20-win season since 2011.

The Tigerhawks scored five times in the bottom of the fifth then kept the Hawks from mounting a comeback in the next two innings. Colfax-Mingo, which has no seniors on its roster, advances to Friday’s Region 6 semifinal while Lynnville-Sully, which loses three seniors, concludes its season.

Colfax-Mingo will play Gladbrook-Reinbeck, which upset No. 15 AGWSR 11-5 Wednesday. The semifinal game is 7 p.m. Friday at Ackley.

The Region 6 championship game is at 7 p.m. Monday at the highest remaining seed-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Colbee Cunningham (11) scores the go-ahead run during a five-run fifth inning for the Tigerhawks as she is safe at home plate as the ball got past Lynnville-Sully pitcher McKinley Conover. Colfax-Mingo defeated Lynnville-Sully, 8-4, in Wednesday night’s 1A Region 6 quarterfinal at Colfax.

ed team’s home field.

Colfax-Mingo got a complete game in the circle by its ace, junior Amy Russell.

Lynnville-Sully used a “pitching-by-committee” format with Carson Fisk, Mallory Loftus and McKinley Conover — a freshman, eighth-grader and sophomore.

“Colfax-Mingo has stout hitters, and they hit the ball hard. It was about managing the ball, especially from the mound. We used three pitchers and did the best we could,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Stacey Alberts said. “They (the Tigerhawks) got a few hits to drop in the 5-6 holes and we had some defensive errors to open that one inning for them, but that’s softball.”

The Tigerhawks staked out a 3-0 lead by the end of two innings against Fisk. Loftus took over in the circle for the Hawks with two gone in the second inning.

In the first inning, Ries Wilson and Amy Russell had back-to-back singles and Wilson scored the first run. Alivia Haley was hit by a pitch and ended up at second base on the play. A sacrifice fly by Rhiannon Haley plated Amy Russell.

Mackenzie Brown doubled to center field and scored on a two-out double by Wilson. Amy Russell reached on an error but Wilson was tagged out trying to score, ending the inning.

Brenna Lanser sparked a three-run rally for the Hawks in the fourth inning with a one out single. Kristen Van Der Wilt beat out an infield single and Shaleah Van Wyk went in as a courtesy runner for the Hawk catcher.

Back-to-back errors by the Tigerhawks allowed a run to score. Fisk battled at the plate, fouling off offerings by Amy Russell until she hammered an RBI double to the left field corner. With two gone, Shilo Cunningham singled up the right-field line to drive in the tying run.

“The difference tonight was we didn’t always bring it when we were at bat and we had a couple of errors,” Lynnville-Sully senior Kristen Der Wilt said. “We came a long way this season. We had players playing different spots like me — I’ve never been a catcher — and players who hadn’t played varsity before. I’m proud of this team and program.”

The Tigerhawks filled the bases with two out in the bottom of the fourth on three straight singles. Amy Russell spanked the ball hard, but Hawk third baseman Lanser snagged the line drive to retire the Tigerhawks.

Kaisha Ehresman used a bunt single to get on base in the top of the fifth for Lynnville-Sully. She stole second and ended up at third on an errant

throw by Colfax-Mingo. A oneout sacrifice fly by Conover handed the Hawks their first and only lead of the game, 4-3.

A diving stop and flip to shortstop Alivia Haley by Tigerhawk second baseman Delaney Underwood prevented the Hawks from producing any more runs in the inning.

Colfax-Mingo broke the game open in its half of the fifth.

Three errors by the Hawks helped the Tigerhawk offense push across the five runs. In the sixth, Colfax-Mingo put down a two-on and one-out threat by Lynnville-Sully and the Tigerhawks left the bases loaded again it their half of the inning.

Ehresman put down another bunt single to start the top of the seventh. Amy Russell and the Tigerhawks retired the next three Hawks on ground balls to end the game. Amy Russell allowed eight hits, walked one batter, hit one batter and struck out three as the winning pitcher.

“Playing Lynnville-Sully is different than a lot of teams we play during the season. They are excellent at the short game, and we knew they’d keep coming with it,” Tigerhawk head coach Bryan Poulter said. “How we responded to their run to the lead was important. This has been the story of this team the whole season. We’ve been

down like that and come back.

As a coach that is what you want to see.”

Wilson was 4-for-4 with two singles and two doubles for Colfax-Mingo. Rhiannon Haley and Mackensie Brown each had a double. Hitting a single each were Amy Russell, Alivia Haley, Chelsea Russell and Underwood.

Ehresman had two singles for Lynnville-Sully. The senior had four stolen bases to bump her season total to 68, which leads Class 1A and is third best in the state. Ehresman finished with 219 career stolen bases.

The Hawks’ Shilo Cunningham had two singles. Lanser, Van Der Wilt, Fisk and Makenzy Rozendaal each had a single. Shelby Foster is the other senior on the Hawks’ roster.

Poulter guides the Tigerhawks into the regional semifinals on Friday.

“These girls have established what they’re good at and comfortable with this season,” Poulter said. “Amy’s throwing well and wants the ball in the circle and we’ll go with her. Colbee is ready to throw and will do well for us also. Our kids are very good hitters. They are confident when they go up to the plate.”
