The Honor Guard played a vital role in Friday’s veterans memorial dedication ceremony. The Honor Guard was originally formed to help lay veteran’s to rest, and Brown estimates they perform at approximately 100 funerals a year in Jasper County.

Honor Guard: Not in it for glory but to pay respect Education

Newton American Legion Post 111 Honor Guard is an often overlooked sub-group within a larger group. Guards don’t all ride motorcycles like the Legion Riders, nor do they give out college scholarships like the Ladies Auxiliary.

looked as a means of slighting them. It’s just that people don’t usually require them until it’s time for more solemn occasions, and most typically, that occasion is laying a veteran to rest.

“The Honor Guard has always been around,” Honor Guard Commander Paul Brown said. “Actually, around World War I is when they started the Honor Guard — to

put the vets to rest with honor.”

Brown said one of the main duties of the Honor Guard is to fire rifles — Post 111’s group uses Korean War-era M-16 rifles — at veteran’s funerals as a last rites act.

“It’s for veterans only, and any veteran — I don’t care if they’re a general or a private.

As of 2000, they can have an Honor Guard, and they de-

serve one,” Brown said.

Depending on the branch of the deceased, Brown said they also will contact a specific branch of the National Guard to partner up with the Honor Guard to present and fold the flag for family members of the deceased.

Ham radio operators get practice on Field Day Special to the Daily News Just as Newton Amateur Radio Association Emergency Coordinator Chuck Wagoner stepped into the room housing the ham radio equipment at the Jasper County Law Enforcement Center on June 30, the lights went out.

“The emergency generator kicked in immediately, and the 911 center dispatchers didn’t miss a beat during (the June 30) windstorm,” Wagoner said.

Members of NARA began to set up operations June 27 at their new station at the Emergency Operations Center in the Armory Annex for the National Field Day Exercise.

“We are now setup to provide communications separate from the 911 center and have tested communications with the state emergency operations center at Camp Dodge and with the National Weather Service in Johnston,” NARA President John Nelson said. “During situations like we had ( June 30), we regularly exchange status

Culture War as State Hobby

By Brian Nicholson The Supreme Court recently closed its term with a ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, concerning the government’s mandate for employer provided insurance to cover contraception. Voting 5-4 that closely held corporations could be exempt from the mandate if it violates the sincerely held religious beliefs of the owners, the decision has generated a lot of heat in mainstream political discourse.

Conservatives claim it as a victory for religious freedom, while progressives denounce it as a blow against the rights of women.

However, the framing here is awkward. The intersection of a cultural schism and relations between labor and capital raises a question: How did the status quo, where employers have insurance to think about and workers are expected to be on the lookout for their bosses personal beliefs, come to be in the first place?

Commonly forgotten in American history, as they conflict with the popular myth about modern capitalism somehow being a “free market” whether one thinks that good or ill, are the past more explicit interventions of the U.S. government. Of particular note is the National War Labor Relations Board, which during World War 2 placed wage controls on industrial workers. In the crackpot reasoning of the government appointed experts at the time, this was to prevent inflation. With government spending in overdrive due to the total war economy, plowing endless resources into production of military goods for the state, employers started to use health insurance as a perk, which the NWLRB ruled didn’t violate the controls.

After war footing shifted from WW2 to the Cold War, the IRS ruled that health insurance premiums employers paid were exempt from taxation. Having violently marginalized more radical labor organizations, setting a Devil’s Bargain of sorts between existing unions, large-scale business, and the government, the expectation was set. You worked for a big company and depended on them for health coverage, the corporations got extensive backing in the form of subsidies from the government, and the government got everyone’s tax dollars to pour into empire. Yes, your health coverage is an accident of decades of corporate state collusion, a diversion of what could have been income to do what you wanted to with into a tool of control.

Think about what could have been if the government had never done any of this. With labor power at full, no government butting in to deny your agency or concentrate the market, and no policy for your boss to micromanage, workers could simply take the dissolved surplus capital and handle the matter themselves. Perhaps labor unions could adapt, form their own insurance pools, and liberate women in the workforce from ever again having to care what anyone else thinks about them getting birth control. Despite professed views in the cramped political mainstream, interest on their part in such is scarce, as the fire on such issues is what lines their pockets and keeps people going to the polls.

With thought, the “culture war” reveals itself as a prison fight — forced by the guards.

Lovin’ the Atkins diet

Disgusted with myself back in March, I went on the Atkins diet. I had been on the Atkins diet years back, when Atkins was all the rage, and had lost a bunch of weight, but eventually grew tired of it. I had read Dr. Atkins’ book and was impressed. He maintained he could cure diabetes through diet. Then I stopped running because of a foot injury and really put on the pounds.

For those of you who don’t know, the Atkins diet is the one where you can eat all the protein and fat you want

By Curt Swarm (meat, eggs, Guest Columnist cheese) but no carbohydrates, especially sugar. Fat has had a bad rap. Sugar is the culprit. When you combine protein and fat with carbohydrates, your pancreas kicks in, producing insulin, and you build body fat. Eat protein and fat alone, and you burn the calories. It also kills your appetite, instantly — a big plus when you’re dieting.

I don’t know of an easier diet.

Meat and eggs are my favorite food. (Buddy likes it, too.)

Don’t click your tongue and lecture me about cholesterol. I’ve had my cholesterol checked before and after going on the Atkins diet, and it’s a very respectable 170. Once again, it’s only when you add carbs that your cholesterol goes through the roof, as well as your appetite.

I also quit drinking diet pop.

All of the diets recommend no soda pop, diet or regular. I was drinking four of those 24 oz. bottles of diet pop a day. The redemption people loved me. I’ll have to admit, the first day without soda pop was sort of tough, but it was only for the first day.

I’m now a water man.

For movie snacks, I smuggle in pork rinds. It’s amazing how much less expensive the movies are when you’re not buying popcorn and soda.

How much weight have I lost? Thirty pounds — about 10 pounds a month. You don’t want to loose weight too fast, or you’ll get sick and put it right back on. I know from experience. My waist size has shrunk from 40 inches to 36. My goal is 34.

In March, I weighed 230 pounds. I’m now down to 195. I really hate to admit this, but according to the BMI (Body Mass Index) Chart, I was obese. I couldn’t believe it — I’ve been such a critic of obesity in America. There are three categories of obese — Obese I, II, & III, with III being the worst. I was in the Obese I category. I thought I was just overweight. Shows to go you how we can trick our little minds.

I’m now in the “Overweight” category, and heading for the “Healthy Weight” designation of 175 — my high school football weight. I have no doubt that I will achieve it. It’s maintaining that will be the challenge. I may do the Modified Atkins Diet when I’m at “healthy” weight, which is Atkins through the day, then a salad for supper, followed by a normal meal, not to last more than an hour, thus preventing the

insulin rush.

Do I have cake and ice cream at my grandkids’ birthdays? Absolutely! Then right back on Atkins the following day. The Atkins food I love most, and this is sinful, is cheddar cheese wrapped in bacon. OMG, is this delicious, and the pounds roll off! Why suffer?

I do half-an-hour of aerobic exercise three-to-four times a week, on the treadmill or elliptical machine, and weigh myself once a week — at the end of the week, before the weekend binge eating starts. I record my weight, which is a great motivational tool when looking back and, most importantly, it doesn’t lie. Following the aerobic exercise, I do a few minutes of anaerobics (strength training) ± pullups, pushups and situps. When I started, I could barely do four pushups and ten situps. I couldn’t do a single pullup. I can now do 30 pushups, 50 situps and four pullups. The pullups are for if I ever get caught hanging from a cliff, I can pull myself up.

I’m feeling better physically, mentally and love the comments.

Getting back into my “skinny” jeans was a real treat. With all the soccer hoopla lately, someone asked if I played soccer. “No,” I said. “Why?” “Well, you look like you do.” I could have kissed them.

Making health insurance make sense Special to the Daily News Q: Now that I have health care coverage through the new Health Insurance Marketplace, are there materials available for me and my family to understand how to use this new health insurance?

A: Thanks to the health care law, millions of Americans now have quality health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. You, or someone you know, may have health coverage for the very first time, or after many years without coverage.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has launched a new nationwide initiative, Coverage to Care,

to help you, and all the newly covered, get the information you need to know, such as: • How to make the most of your health care coverage • How to find the right doctor • When and where to seek treatment, for example, emergency room care only should be used in the case of an emergency • Why getting the right preventive services is important To help answer questions, you might have about your new health care coverage, and to use it appropriately to get the care and preventive services that are right for you, Coverage to Care has a number of tools available at marketplace. cms.gov/c2c. Many are available in both English and Spanish, and

more resources will be developed over the next few months.

we just show up at funerals. There is a lot of work involved in getting going. When a vet dies, the family meets with the funeral director, and the funeral director gets a hold of me if they want a military funeral — to see if they want full rights, fold and present or just whatever,” Brown said.

“Then, it’s up to me to get a hold of the armed services and call the list of names to try and get a firing squad or an Honor Guard together. I have to coordinate that, and if they want the Legion Riders with the flag line, then I have to get a hold of them and set that up also.”

Brown estimates since he’s been on the guard, they’ve averaged around 100 military funerals a year. In addition, the Honor Guard is present at various special veteran affiliated events in Jasper County, particularly the Memorial Day services that take place at eight different cemeteries in the county.

The Honor Guard’s most recent public appearance took place during Friday’s dedication ceremony for the new Jasper County Veterans Memorial Complex. At

Continued from Page 1A “We work with those guys quite a bit. A lot of times, I can’t get enough guys for a firing squad and presentment both,” Brown said.

Brown said there are presently 14 members of 111’s Honor Guard he calls for services. He said World War II veteran Bob Thorson, 86, is the oldest, and Afghanistan/Iraq veteran, Chris Chartier is the youngest at 31. Brown said an ideal Honor Guard to present at ceremonies includes about seven individuals. This way he has a proper firing squad and someone who can play the bugle.

However, Brown said he’s often short due to people’s work schedules.

Brown personally has served on the Honor Guard for the last 15 years — the last 10 as commander — and he’s in the middle of the ranks when it comes to time served. Brown said Dale Maki and Thorson each have served for about 25 years. Marvin Morris and Gary Clemon are close to 20 years, and he said John Billingsley has been a longtime member as well.

“A lot of people think

Jessen Continued from Page 1A of Skiff Medical Center and soon to be CEO. “While Dr. Jessen is very humble about receiving this award, it is a very big deal that only a select few attain,” Altman said. “Dr. Jessen has been a blessing for Skiff Medical Center and the Newton community and this honor is well deserved.”

Dr. Jessen said that his decision to pursue medicine followed the influence of his time as an undergraduate student (class of 1964) at the University of Iowa.

“Opportunity was everywhere, and leadership from the professors was remarkable,” he said.

After his time at the University of Iowa and completing an internship and rotating residency at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., Dr. Jessen returned to Iowa to practice family medicine, which was a suitable fit for his community-oriented inclinations.

“I was able for 40 years to provide day-to-day, continuous medical care for a large number of patients,” he said.

Throughout his career, Dr. Jessen had a reputation for making himself readily available, even giving his personal phone number to patients who needed constant monitoring.

In addition to his many hours in a clinical setting, Dr. Jessen also extended his health-care expertise to local youth by spending much of his career serving as the Newton High School football team physician.

the ceremony, Thorson and Morris spoke to the crowd, Chartier helped raise a POW flag, and Brown led the call as they delivered a 21-gun salute.

As the commander, Brown’s duties, aside from putting together the Honor Guard lineup for services and acting as the group’s organizer, is to maintain the rifles. He cleans them after every use, which was something his predecessor, Bob Richards, taught him when he first signed up.

To be a member of the Honor Guard, a person must be a Legion member or have gained membership through the Sons of the American Legion group.

Brown, and the other members of the Honor Guard, don’t do this for glory or praise. They all do it to serve a simple purpose: to pay respect.

“It’s an honor to do it. It’s to put our vets to rest with honor. They have to have the honor so they are not forgotten and the family remembers that for the rest of their lives,” Brown said.

Senior staff writer Ty Rushing may be contacted at (641) 792-3121, ext. 426, or at trushing@newtondailynews.com.

“For 37 years, I attended essentially all of the football games, in town and away, of both the varsity and sophomore teams at the high school,” he said. “Needless to say, I gained much experience and benefited much from the opportunity. Those young men and coaches added much to my life.”

Altman, who himself spent significant time with local sports teams in his role as a licensed physical therapist and athletic trainer, said, “Dr. Jessen welcomed me to the sidelines in 1994 and served as a friend and mentor to me in the provision of sports medicine services for 17 years, which was not even half of his total sports medicine tenure. Tom is a leader with a golden heart and always kept the athletes’ best interest in mind when injuries occurred.”

Newton Senior High School football coach Ed Ergenbright, who also attended the ceremony, said that Dr. Jessen was known for going the extra mile for the student athletes.

“Doc was a fixture on our sideline for many years serving the young men who played in our program,” he said. “As a head coach, I can say having him on our sideline gave me great peace of mind knowing that in the event of an injury he was very qualified to provide whatever care was needed for our athletes. Medical service aside, I consider Doc a good friend and loyal supporter of Newton athletics to this day. Our team motto is, ‘Character first, last and always,’ and he sets an example of this every day. The best kind of leader I know is one who leads by example, and that’s Dr. Jessen.”

Scrapbooks full of memories will be cherished by friends DEAR ABBY: May I comment about the question from “Unsure in the West” (April 6), who wanted to create scrapbooks out of all the cards and letters she received over the years? My generation (30s) is all about social media. “Unsure” mentioned that all the items she wanted to include were pre-Facebook. I am a bit old-fashioned (or maybe stubborn) so I don’t do Facebook or Twitter, and I don’t understand the importance of a “hashtag.”

I have no idea how to Skype, nor do I pay my bills online.

I think the scrapbook idea is wonderful. There is something special about having tangible items to go along with important milestones and memories. Even if the gifts themselves don’t strike a chord with her friends, surely the consideration and time she puts into the scrapbooks will make her loved ones realize how important they are to her. I say, proceed with confidence. Your friends are lucky to have you. — L.K. IN THE MIDWEST DEAR L.K.: Like you, readers overwhelmingly support “Unsure” in her efforts to create scrapbooks of memories for her friends. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I have also saved cards, letters, wedding photos and pictures of newborns, etc., for several decades. A few years ago, I simply returned them to the people who had sent them. Nearly all of the recipients squealed with delight as they thanked me, having realized I had gifted them with “time capsules” of their lives. Only one friend was offended that I had returned her items. She said she was “appalled” that I didn’t cherish them myself. The joy expressed by the others superseded the angry friend. “Unsure,” return those items to the senders! — LINDA IN INDIANA DEAR ABBY: I did the same thing with photos. But instead of returning them to the person(s) who gave them to me, I gave them to the children who were pictured in the photos. Others I saved and presented to the now-grown child’s spouse as a wedding gift. So far they have been well-received. Most people are surprised to learn that I actually kept all

these photos of them or their children for so long and appreciated the effort I put into the scrapbooks. — MEMORY KEEPER DEAR ABBY: I am not a crafter and I’m not very sentimental. I don’t enjoy what I consider clutter. As I’ve grown older, I have done my best to pare down and eliminate things I no longer have use for. I have embraced technology. If “Unsure” were my friend, I would appreciate it more if she scanned anything she wanted to give back to me. Either way, I would probably view the scrapbook or e-book, and then deep-six it after the viewing. It crossed my mind that perhaps “Unsure” is cleaning out, and this is her way of getting rid of her “clutter.” — MAUREEN IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: Yes! Bundle and return the cards and letters with a note about what the correspondence has meant to you over the years. As a young adult, I lived all over the world and frequently wrote my friends and family about my life and what I was experiencing. Over the last few years I have received bundles from my mother, my sister and a friend — all letters they had hung onto for 20 to 30 years. What a surprise and a joy. Reading these old cards and letters gave me a window into a world that no longer exists, and reminded me of who I was then and what my life was like. Yes, please give back the correspondence. — MARIANNE IN CALIFORNIA

Agriculture Brief

Farmland leasing meeting planned

Warm and dry weather needed to dry Iowa fields DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa crop progress and condition weekly report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Strong storms and wet fields continue to stress some crops and create challenges for famers needing to make hay, spray weeds or side-dress fertilizer,” Northey said.

“Fortunately, much of the crop remains in pretty good condition, but needs some warm and dry weather to help dry fields.”

The report summary follows here: Above average precipitation in Iowa limited fieldwork yet again during the week ending July 6 according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were just 2.6 days suitable for fieldwork, the third week in a row with less than 3.0 days suitable for fieldwork. Weed control and nitrogen side-dressing were behind due to wet conditions and

the inability to get equipment through fields. Many producers reported yellowing corn and stress on soybeans due to excessive moisture.

Precipitation raised soil moisture levels marginally this week.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 61 percent adequate, and 37 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 67 percent adequate, and 25 percent surplus. Over one-quarter of the State’s topsoil remained in surplus condition, with the exception of southeast Iowa.

There were scattered reports of corn silking across Iowa. Seventy-six percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition, a decrease of 3 percentage points. Twenty-one percent of the soybean acreage was blooming, 11 days ahead of the previous year but 2 days behind normal. A few farmers reported soybeans setting pods. Decreasing 2 percentage points from the previous week, 73 percent

of the soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition.

Ninety-five percent of the oat crop has headed, 2 percentage points above last year but equal to the five-year average. Thirtyone percent of the oat acreage has turned color, 10 percentage points ahead of the previous year but 15 points behind average.

Seventy-three percent of the oat acreage was reported in good to excellent condition, dropping 1 percentage point from last week.

Farmers struggled to get their first cutting of alfalfa hay baled, advancing only five percentage points from last week. The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 95 percent complete, falling slightly behind both last year and average. The second cutting of alfalfa was 12 percent complete, two days ahead of last year but almost two weeks behind normal. Sixtyseven percent of all hay was rated in good to excellent condition.

Pasture condition rated 74 percent good to excellent. Stress on livestock increased toward the week’s end with the high humid-

World’s fastest growing bin company to sponsor ‘Fast Friday’ at Iowa Speedway Special to Daily News NEWTON — With the exciting new NASCAR knockout style pole position format and flat-out qualifying for the IndyCar Series, Sukup Manufacturing Co. has been named as the Iowa Speedway official poleday sponsor this weekend.

Speedway officials announced last week that Sukup Pole Day will be designated for Friday when the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Verizon IndyCar Series drivers qualify for each of their respective races.

“Sukup Pole Day is going to feature two amazing qualifying sessions,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small. “The NASCAR

Camping World Truck Series drivers are likely to make moves that would normally be reserved for the race because track position will play such a significant role.

“That will hold true for the IndyCar Series as well. With speeds that Helio Castroneves put up last year of 185 miles per hour, we’re the fastest short track, shorter than a mile, on the planet. This is something we’re incredibly proud of here at Iowa Speedway, and we are excited to celebrate it with Sukup Manufacturing Company.”

There is plenty of ontrack action scheduled for Sukup Pole Day on Friday, July 11, including Verizon IndyCar Series practice and qualifying; two rounds of NASCAR

Camping World Truck Series qualifying beginning at 4:40 p.m.; and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series American Ethanol 200 presented by Enogen at 7:30 p.m.

“All of us at Sukup Manufacturing Company are excited to once again be partnering with the Iowa Speedway and their race sponsors as we present the Sukup Pole Award. Both of these races, the American Ethanol 200 presented

by Enogen and the Iowa Corn 300 presented by DEKALB, put the spotlight on ethanol, which is so important to Iowa’s farmers and economy and to American oil independence, “ said Sukup Manufacturing President Charles Sukup.

The first will last 30 minutes, with all trucks expected to be on the track.

The fastest 12 drivers in the first round will then move to a 10-minute second round, which will determine the pole sitter. The other trucks will be placed on the starting grid based upon their best single qualifying lap during either the first or second sessions.

The Cardinals have gone 3-1 in the final four games of the regular season after a split of a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Pella Monday.

The Cardinal offense doubled its output of hits from the first to second game, rolling to a 7-1 win. Stock recorded her third win of the season against seven losses. She issued two walks, hit one batter and struck out five.

“Our bats came alive in the second game,” Newton head coach Ashley Ryan said.

“We ended the regular season on a positive note and move forward toward regional play Thursday.”

Newton ended with a 9-22 overall record. The Cardinals went 8-12 in Little Hawkeye Conference play for fifth place.

The Cardinals travel to Saydel Thursday in Class 4A Region 6 tournament play.

The game begins at 7 p.m.

Newton scored four runs in the third inning of the second game against the Lady Dutch Monday. Stock helped herself with a leadoff single and scored on a one-out double by sophomore catcher Sydney Jenkins, who is hitting over .500 for the season.

Senior first baseman Madison Bagnall reached on an error allowing Jenkins to cross home plate. Ashton Hoffman connected for an RBI base hit.

Freshman Kaytlin Ahn singled followed by a two-out base hit by sophomore Fran Lucas, which drove in a run.

Pella answered with a run in its half of the third. That was all the Lady Dutch could come up with against Stock and the Cardinals.

Wood, Cardinals shut out Pella for a doubleheader split

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor PELLA — Tyler Wood threw his second one-hitter for Newton’s Cardinals in a 2-0 win Monday against host Pella. The Cardinals played two different types of games in the Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader.

In the opener, Newton struggled at the plate and in the field, losing 9-3. The Cardinal defense made three errors behind starting pitcher Chandler Sturtz and three other pitchers. They were behind the Little Dutch 6-1 after two innings and had six hits in the game.

Wood took the mound in the second contest. Wood (4-3) didn’t have as good as command of his pitches as in his 5-1 win over Grinnell on June 13 when he carried a no-hitter into the seventh.

He worked out of tough situations in the first three innings against Pella then had

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton junior Tyler Wood pitched his second one-hit game of the season Monday as the Cardinals beat host Pella, 2-0, in the second of two games.

two 1-2-3 innings.

Wood struck out 11 Pella batters, but issued six walks in the contest. The lone hit by the Little Dutch came with one gone in the second in-

ning when Marcus Wittmer singled to left field.

Newton produced a run in the first inning. Sturtz singled and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Wood.

A passed ball allowed Sturtz to advance to third base and with two gone, Evan Shimon drove in the run with a base hit to left field.

Shimon drew a walk in the top of the sixth. Connor Gholson went in as courtesy runner for Shimon and ended up at third on an error by Pella. Mike McCormick delivered an RBI single to put the Cardinals up 2-0.

Wood worked around a leadoff walk in the sixth by striking out the side. Again, in the seventh, Wood issued a walk to start the inning.

He fanned the next two Pella batters and then got Tanner Wood to ground out to him at the mound for the final out of the game.

Wood has a .70 earned runner average for the Cardinals. He leads the team with 54 strikeouts.

Area baseball roundup: CMB pitcher throws second no-hitter this season

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — Brady Stover peeled off his No. 20 jersey after CollinsMaxwell/Baxter’s game against Colfax-Mingo to reveal a black Under Armour shirt displaying a large Batman symbol across his chest. The 16-year-old sophomore explained he wears the shirt every time he pitches for good luck and that he’s building a collection of superhero shirts.

“I have a Superman one and this one,” he said. “I’m trying to get my mom to get me another one, but they’re expensive.”

The way Stover pitched in CMB’s 4-2 win over the Tigerhawks, he may not want to change superhero shirts anytime soon.

Stover threw his second no-hitter of the season Monday night, and this time added a win to his pitching record. The lefty previously threw a nohitter in a 3-0 loss to Roland Story on June 17.

“It feels a lot better. I’m a lot more happy now,” Stover said, smiling. “We put on a good game today.”

Stover dominated Colfax-Mingo for most of the night. He struck out a career-high 18 batters, including six of the first seven he faced. After a pair of walks in the third inning, he retired 11 straight, a streak that continued into the sixth and featured eight strikeouts.

His only hiccup came in the seventh when he fielded a sacrifice bunt and threw the ball into right field, which helped Colfax-Mingo score it’s only runs of the game.

“I knew I had this one (the nohitter),” said Stover, who wasn’t aware he had thrown his first no-hitter until head coach Max Seeman told him

following the game against Roland Story. “The whole game I was trying to think, don’t think about it and just pitch and in the seventh inning, I think I thought about it a little bit more and I recovered from it and finished the game.”

That sequence, in which Stover moved on from his error and recorded the final two outs, was something CMB’s second-year head coach pointed to as a sign of the young pitcher’s progression.

“You saw late there he kind of got really hard on himself after he gave up a walk and threw the ball away to first, but it’s been better than it has been in the past,” Seeman said. “I know he’ll keep improving. That’s what I’ve told him he has to do. He’s got to stay out of his own head, don’t sweat the small stuff, trust yourself and your defense and good things will happen.”

CMB broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning when senior Zach Samson hit a solo home run. It was his third of the season.

The Raiders scored what proved to be necessary insurance runs in the seventh on an RBI single from Hunter McWhirter, an error and a bases-loaded walk issued to Creighton Caple.

CMB hung on in the seventh to win what was the team’s first game since June 25. Multiple rain outs prevented the team from not only playing games but holding full practices since then.

The time off proved beneficial, though, as Stover showed no signs of rust in his stellar outing.

“We had a two-week break because of the rain delays and I felt good,” Stover said. “My arm was loose.

Coming into this game, I felt really good about it.”

Ben Schuff/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter pitcher Brady Stover pitches in the second inning against Colfax-Mingo Monday night. Stover threw a no-hitter, his second of the season, in the Raiders’ 4-2 win.

PCM loses HOIC finale Class 3A No. 7 Saydel spoiled Prairie City-Monroe pitcher Dillon Bruxvoort’s best outing of the season in a 3-2 loss for the Mustangs Monday night.

Bruxvoort pitched six innings and struck out nine, both season highs.

His previous longest appearance was a four-inning stint against North Polk last Thursday.

PCM out hit Saydel, 8-5, but struggled turning those hits into runs.

Saydel scored once in each of the first three innings. The Mustangs came up short of a tie in the sixth when they scored both of their runs.

PCM’s Chase Keuning, Zach Uhlenhopp and Troy Vittetoe all had two hits. Vittetoe recorded the team’s only RBI in the loss.

PCM softball wins HOIC conference crown

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — Prairie City-Monroe earned the win it needed. The Mustangs claimed the Heart of Iowa title

they desired. Then the players delivered the celebratory Gatorade bath on their coach they patiently waited for.

PCM won sole possession of the HOIC championship Monday night with a 5-3 victory over Colfax-Mingo.

Ben Schuff/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Abbi Gilson swings at a pitch in the fourth inning against ColfaxMingo Monday night. PCM beat Colfax-Mingo, 5-3, and won the Heart of Iowa conference championship with the victory.

The Mustangs (20-7, 16-2) entered Monday one game ahead of Greene County, which finished HOIC play with a 15-3 mark after a win against Nevada Monday.

PCM head coach Whitney Plein lingered outside the team’s dugout after the game trying to avoid a soaked shirt.

Mustang catcher Abbi Gilson made sure the first-year head coach wasn’t going home dry.

“Me and Jennafer [Uitermarkt] were saying we’re probably going to have to do that after we win,” Gilson said. “She (Plein) is pretty fast so I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to get her, but I circled around her and, yeah, we got her. It was pretty fun.

“It’s mostly just because we’re conference champs just by ourselves. The past couple years we’ve shared it and we did not want to share it with anyone.”

PCM made the most of a fifth-inning outburst after it appeared pitchers Racheal Freland and Amy Russell were going to make Monday miserable for hitters. Freland, the Mustangs’ starting pitcher, struck out six of the first nine batters she faced while Russell fanned 10 of the first 15 PCM batters.

That tone changed in the fifth when two base hits, a dropped ball at first base and triple altered the course of

Baseball: Newton splits with Little Dutch Continued from Page 1B In the win, Sturtz, Jordan Travis, Shimon, Derek Wrage, McCormick and Jeff Stanton each had a single for Newton. The Cardinals stranded six base runners.

Sturtz pitched three innings for Newton in the opener Monday night. He was charged with six runs on five hits and two walks and had one strikeout. Michael Barr pitched one inning and had a strikeout. McCormick threw one inning, giving up one hit and walking one.

Stanton pitched the sixth inning, allowing three runs on two hits and one walk and recording a strikeout.

Two of the three Newton errors came in the first two innings against Pella. The Little Dutch scored two runs in the first and four in the second for the 6-1 lead.

Newton scored its run in the second when Wrage walked to start the inning. Barr singled with one out and Stanton worked a base-on-balls to load the bases. Sturtz walked with two gone to force in a run.

The Cardinals loaded the bases again in the sixth. Barr and Bryce Tish drew walks and Wood singled. Barr scored on a passed ball and Tish came in when Travis reached safely on a fielder’s choice.

Pella answered by scoring three runs in the its half of the sixth to increase its lead to 9-3.

Wood went 3-for-4 with three singles in the game.

Wrage hit two base hits and Barr singled.

The Cardinals improved to 9-10 in Little Hawkeye Conference play and 11-17 overall. They wrap up conference action Thursday in a make-up doubleheader at Grinnell.

Newton dropped a 8-4 non-conference decision to host Southeast Polk on July 3. Wrage, Travis, Barr and Wood all took turns on the mound in the contest. They combined to allow 12 hits and issued four walks.

The Cardinals led the Rams 4-2 going into the bottom of the sixth. Southeast Polk scored six runs in the inning to gain the lead and take the win.

Wrage connected for two singles in the game.

Sturtz and Wood each had a double. Tish and McCormick had a single apiece

the game. Jayci Vos’ single to center gave PCM a 2-1 lead. Kayla Jennings then added to that on a hit to left field that scooted down the line past Brooke Nicholson and scored two more runs.

“We always have one inning where we go out and get it,” Freland said.

“We’re contagious once one person starts hitting.”

Freland made that support stand as she retired the side in fifth and seventh innings. She gave up two runs in the sixth when Colfax-Mingo’s Jena Teed hit a sharp liner to right field that cut PCM’s lead to 4-3, but the junior never faltered from there.

Freland pitched all seven innings and posted a season-high 11 strikeouts.

The left hander gave up only three hits, one being a solo home run by her counterpart Russell in the fourth inning that gave Colfax-Mingo a 1-0 lead.

“We knew from here on out that they’re going to be really close games and one or two runs mean everything.

That one run was a big run,” Plein said, referring to Russell’s homer, “but we came back and put five more runs against it.

“We knew coming in it was going to be a battle and they stuck with it and made things happen like they always do,” Plein said of her team. “They’re a resilient bunch.”

Softball: Cardinals close regular season with ninth victory Continued from Page 1B Newton added a run in sixth when freshman Bailey Davis singled and came home on two-out error by Pella on a ball hit by Stock. Jenkins and Bagnall drew back-to-back walks to open the seventh for the Cardinals. Jenkins scored on a sacrifice fly by Hoffman and Bagnall came in on a passed ball.

Lucas led the Cardinal offense, going 2-for-3 with two singles. Jenkins doubled. Hitting a single each were Stock, sophomore Alex Hutchinson, Hoffman, Ahn and Davis.

In the first game, Pella used the middle innings to score six runs for the victory. The Cardinals were limited to four singles — one each by Stock, Jenkins, Bagnall and Lucas.

Hoffman was tapped for 11 hits, plus the senior pitcher walked two batters and hit two batters. Hoffman finished with a 6-15 pitching record for the regular season.

The victory in the nightcap gave the Cardinals an edge in the season series with Pella. Newton previously defeated the Lady Dutch, 7-4, on June 18.

Relationships intensify under this Scorpio moon.

Emotional water-sign energy seems to form a swirling waterspout capable of pulling us into relationships too deep and too fast. Some react with abandon; others become private and protective of the status quo. Whatever your style, own it. This is no time to let yourself be unduly influenced.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 8). A beautiful relationship blossoms over the next six weeks and will continue to fortify your heart throughout the solar year. Take an inventory of your best attributes because you’ll apply them to gain money and status in August.

September is for giving to society in a way that only you can. November brings new business. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 17, 44, 38 and 19.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Our command of space is what makes others see us as either a leader or a follower. Dare to take up room and do

what no one else is doing.

Move to your own beat.

probably relished a century or so ago.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You could be the savior for yourself and for all of the others who are in your boat. How do you do it? Row, row, row.

Only one person has to row, but everyone will get there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you enter the scene, everyone will wonder who you are and what you do, so go ahead and answer their questioning minds with the things you think they should know about you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). If you’re wondering why all of these people are around you now, it has something to do with your big heart. It sends out signals, and you’ll be impressed by who and how many respond.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You’ll feel like keeping the outer world at bay so you can concentrate on sorting through your inner world.

However, you’re better off getting feedback.

Too much time alone is distorting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s like you’re in a high-pressure poker game deciding how to play your cards. If you’re going to pull this one off, there will have to be some bluffing involved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The old ways are back, and there’s a fresh hipness to customs like canning and backyard chickens. You’ll find joy in an activity that your great-great-grandparents

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). As you daydream about your next lifestyle evolution, you start to realize what needs to happen for the mental picture to become reality.

There are some sacrifices to be made, and you’re feeling ready to make them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). So much seems to be riding on one decision. Actually, this is an

illusion. The truth of the matter is that all roads lead to the same juncture of destiny; therefore, you cannot choose wrong. So don’t agonize.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your physical strength today will be greater than that of yesterday. You’ll love how this feels and make efforts to keep the trend going. The magic formula is: more rest, less stress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be exposed to the multilayered behavior of those with an agenda.

It may take days or weeks to understand exactly what’s going on here, so don’t be too quick to make a move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Vibrant health is the goal, and diet is the key.

The first thing to ask is: Is this food? Most definitions of “food” center on a nutritious substance.

If it’s not nutritious, consider that it might not really be food.
