School district to consider technology purchases Hazard mitigation plan to be presented

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Consideration of another technology item is one of the items on the agenda for Mond a y ’s Ne w t o n C o m munity School District’s Board of Education Sloan meeting.

T h e NCSD board is set to meet Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the E.J.H. Beard Administrative Center’s board room. That recently completed board room is equipped with interactive projection technology — the same type of projectors the board will consider purchasing as one of the meeting’s action items.

A cost of about $2,300 per projectors was mentioned on the agenda for Monday’s meeting. In July 2015, the board approved about $309,000 worth of technology purchases, including Apple iPads, desktop computers and 765 Google Chromebooks at a cost of $141,000.

NPD looking to add energy efficient motorcycle to fleet

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An energy efficient motorcycle could be in the future for the Newton Police Department.

In a partnership with Hometown Rewards, the department is working to purchase a Zero Motorcycle that operates solely on electricity and is capable of traveling both on and off road.

“We’ve had some unique challenges in the community over the past couple of years trying to get to some of the remote areas or trying to do traffic enforcement in our streets that are so narrow,” Newton Police

Chief Rob Burdess said.

While motorcycles have not traditionally been used as a way of patrolling the city or enforcing laws, the NPD found that Burdess it would provide many advantages to the department.

“Sticking a patrol car in a neighborhood with very narrow streets is very challenging when we have speed complaints.

When we have a big squad car there, nobody is going to speed

but if we were to try catch somebody, getting turned around in a timely and safe manner is a problem,” Burdess said.

The department researched several manufacturers and found the Zero Motorcycles as a unit that has all of the capabilities the department is looking for in an alternative vehicle option. Along with only running on electricity, it is a dual-purpose bike that is smaller than the traditional police motorcycle, which makes it ideal for patrolling areas of the parks not accessible by squad cars.

tor of Business Services will make a presentation about the potential purchases of projectors.

Another action item will be the consideration of adopting a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan. Isaac and Jasper County Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Jim Sparks will present on that subject.

Bread and milk bids for 2016-17 will be considered, with an annual contract possibly to be awarded.

The board will also hold first readings on revisions to the 700 series of board policies. Those policies govern food service and transportation issues.

The list of board agenda items is short, as it often is at this time of year.

There are only are only a handful of action items, and there are no discussion items on Monday’s agenda.

Department supervisors — Cristy Croson from food service, Curt Roorda from transportation, Jack Suttek from maintenance and Sloan from technology — will all give reports Monday.

The board’s next meeting is set for July 25 at 6:30 p.m. That meeting will be preceded by a 5:30 p.m. board learning workshop on a specific topic.

The Berg Complex Bond Committee is set to meet July 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the E.J.H. Beard Center.

Jasper County Truck added to help at busy landfill family receives 2016 Way We Live Award

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The Bryan and Deb Branderhorst family of Prairie City will be recognized as one of six recipients of The Way We Live Award at the 2016 Iowa State Fair. The family will be honored in an award ceremony at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 14 on the Christensen Farm Stage in the Paul R. Knapp Animal Learning Center.

The Way We Live Award recognizes Iowa families for their hard work and love of farming. Each family exemplifies a dedication to animal agriculture and strong farm values.

Each entrant was asked to submit a short essay describing how the occupation of farming and living on a farm has shaped their life. Six families were chosen out of 38 entries from a variety of commodities and areas in Iowa.

The Customer Convenience Center has been so popular, the Newton Sanitary Landfill needs more help. The landfill was approved by city council to purchase a new roll off truck to help empty containers on a more frequent basis.

“The popularity and use of the Customer Convenience Center has resulted in the containers needing to be emptied more often than anticipated,” city administrator Bob Knabel said. “There is a need to transport the roll off containers from the center to the active landfill area several times per week.”

Currently the city contracts with a local hauler to dump the containers for $30 per container.

With about five containers needing to be emptied each week, the landfill is

In Brief Area students graduate from Allen College WATERLOO — Emily Montgomery of Newton received a bachelor of science degree in nursing with service honors from Allen College. The College awarded 106 degrees at its commencement ceremony on May 6 at Nazareth Lutheran Church in Cedar Falls.

Allen College conferred 17 Associate of Science degrees, five Bachelor of Health Sciences degrees, 38 Bachelor of Science in nursing degrees and 46 Master of Science of nursing degrees.

Information on Allen College is available at www.allencollege.edu.

Newton native honored at Buena Vista University Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District assistant head custodian Larry Wylie, right, looks on as Newton Correctional Facility inmates help load a truck at Emerson Hough Elementary School. Inmates from NCF’s Correctional Release Center were asked to help with moving wrapped pallets of items as the school district reconfigures and moves many supplies to different campuses.

State prison inmates help NCSD reconfigure

Four campuses are getting all-new grade levels

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News As the Newton Community School District reconfigures this summer, not all of its help is coming from staff employees.

Newton Correctional Facility inmates from the minimum-security Correctional Release Center were asked to help with moving wrapped pallets of items as the school district reconfigures and moves many supplies to different campuses. With the Berg, Aurora Heights, Emerson Hough and Woodrow Wilson elementary school buildings each undergoing major transitions in terms of teachers moving to new buildings this summer, some extra help was needed.

Last fall, as detailed plans were being formed for the district to reconfigure, maintenance supervisor Jack Suttek put together a timeline for the minor construction, installations and removals and moving needs to take place.

He also outlined how tons of books, paper, pencils, Sharpies and other classroom items will be moved across town.

Suttek enlisted the help of inmates who are the minimum-security level. After contacting the prison, some Newton school staff went with him for an orientation meeting with prison staff, getting trained on the dos and don’ts of having volunteer prison labor in a public setting.

After the school year ended and teachers had packed up their things, maintenance and custodial staff went into classrooms and loaded up materials. Trucks were used to haul plastic-wrapped pallets to their new school destinations.

“It was a good way to get prisoners some work experience, and a safe for us to make those guys feel useful without having to pay for a temp agency,” Suttek said.

All buildings are set to be ready for school by Aug. 1. Emerson Hough, Aurora Heights,

Thomas Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson will be the four K-4 schools, while Berg Middle School will keep its grades 7-8 wing and take on grades 5-6 in the half formerly known as K-3 Berg Elementary School.

Suttek said Chris Barton of Realm, Inc. has been gracious in allowing the district to use pallets free of charge. When the district did need to purchase material for the moves, Suttek said, an effort was made to shop local, as the district recently spent more than $4,200 with Forbes Office Solutions for moving supplies.

Suttek began discussing his plan at open meetings in October of last year.

“I want to be prepared ahead of time so that we don’t get to May, and say, for example, ‘Oh, we have to rent some trucks, and no one has any,’” Suttek said.

The motorcycle operates at a cost of a penny per mile and requires no maintenance beyond brakes and tires and has no tailpipe emissions. Its operating range is approximately 190 miles per charge and the battery pack is rated for 300,000 miles. It can reach speeds of up to 98 miles per hour and operates with little to no noise.

“It is a silent vehicle — it is just a whoosh. You won’t even hear it coming,” Burdess said.

Hometown Rewards comes into the picture as a partner in efforts to obtain grant funding for the motorcycle. Alliant Energy, a sponsor of Hometown Rewards, offers a “Bright Ideas” grant opportunity that is given to community projects that focus on energy efficiency and conservation, educate the public on existing and emerging technologies and establish or prove the effectiveness of a cutting-edge energy technology. The electric motorcycle falls into all of those categories.

The electric motorcycle will reduce fuel costs from an average of 11.2 cents per miles to 1 cent per mile and reduce air emissions and maintenance fees of a traditional motorcycle and squad cars.

The price of the Zero Motorcycle is $19,867 from Fender’s Cycle in Des Moines. It would come fully equipped with emergency lights, sirens and equipment bags. Additional costs would include emblems, helmets and training costing between $1,400 and $5,500.

Burdess sees the motorcycle being used three to four days a week during different shifts in the city’s parks, on hike and bike trails, near the railways and on the many narrow streets and alleys throughout the city.

“I can definitely see where this can benefit the community and I love the idea utilizing grant money,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said.

has been raising hogs since the 1930s. Bryan began farming with his father Ron in 1976 while renting his first farm. The father son duo increased the number of sows in the 90s, and after Ron passed away in 2011, Bryan cut the sow herd to focus on quality show pigs. The Branderhorst family currently sells pigs for county and

state fairs, AK-SAR-BEN and the American Royal.

Along with the show pigs, Bryan, his wife Deb and their children raise row crops.

The Branderhorst family consists of daughters Chelsey, Breanna and Josie and son Gavin. All of the children are very involved in the farm operation. The family takes great pride in the different contributions made by each family member, based upon their interest. Chelsey

and Gavin use their livestock judging experience to select replacement gilts for the herd and to select show pigs for annual sales.

Josie and Breanna are responsible for the show pig operation’s social media channels, designing advertisements and managing online sales. During planting and harvest seasons, everyone chips in to make sure all aspects of the farming operation are covered.

As a recipient of the

Way We Live Award, the Branderhorst family receives a prize package of $250, Fair admission tickets, free parking, various coupon books, a special recognition in the Paul R. Knapp Animal Learning Center on August 14th as well as video and photo recognition throughout the Fair. The Way We Live Award is sponsored by WHO NewsRadio 1040.

Soak up the summer sun W

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 8, 2016

Write On Kate Malott

ith summer nearly half over, have you had the chance to soak up the sun yet? Before summer passes, take some time to go outside, relax in the grass and enjoy the bright blue skies.

Here are four outdoor things to do this weekend: 1. Fish and Swim at Rock Creek State Park Rock Creek is my favorite place in the county to go fishing, whether by land or by boat. The lake is full of bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. It has a 15mile shoreline and its average depth is about nine feet.

Rock Creek is also a great place for a picnic, a walk or a break at the beach.

The beach provides an ideal spot to get

some sun and swim.

Its marina has boat rentals, bait and tackle and firewood. Pedal boats are a fun way to catch up with a friend and get exercise. They are $5 per half hour or $50 per day. Kayaks are $12 per hour or $70 per day, hydro-bikes are $5 per half hour and canoes are $10 per hour or $40 per day.

Rock Creek Marina is located at 12589 Hwy F-27 E. in Kellogg. Its weekend hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Sunday.

For more information, call 641-2363876.

2. Kayak and Canoe at Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve is a

more quiet and secluded retreat, and the Jasper County Conservation will host a kayaking and canoeing event from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the preserve near Grinnell.

The public can rent a kayak or canoe to take out on the 25-acre lake surrounding by prairies, woodlands and wildlife plantings. There are also 7 miles of hiking trails within the preserve which offer a view of native wildlife species and habitats.

To participate, call 641-792-9780.

Forms and $5 fees will be collect the day of the paddle. There will be another public paddle opportunity from noon to 3 p.m. July 29 at Jacob Krumm.

3. Hike and Bird Watch at Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge Neal Smith National Wildlife volunteer naturalists will host a Nature Discovery Walk at 10 a.m. Saturday along the half mile, paved Overlook Trail loop at the refuge.

The group will learn about wildlife,

wildflowers and management of the refuge. See the prairie in bloom, watch for birds and butterflies and find out about our bison and elk herds.

This hike is recommended for adults and children ages 12 and older. It is free and open to the public.

4. Balloon Fest and Concert at Lake Red Rock The sixth annual Lake Red Rock Balloon Fest will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the lake.

Saturday events include morning balloon launch, a pancake breakfast and paddle boating with evening events including evening balloon launch, Rock Bottom Band concert and the beautiful Night Glow at North Overlook Beach.

The festival will continue with an early morning balloon launch and the kickoff of the Junior Duck Stamp Artwork on Display from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Red Rock Visitor Center.

For more information, call 641-8287522.

So Anyway Dana King

It’s my ‘go-to’ Editor’s note: This column originally published Oct. 21, 2015.

Everyone has their favorite comfort foods. Those particular “go-to” food dishes that seem to transport you to that perfect time during your childhood when life was kind and you felt safe.

Or maybe it’s a chocolate candy bar. The satisfaction of that first bite just sets the world right again.

I can imagine being home on a cool, rainy, autumn day and freshly baked bread with a cup of coffee will soothe most souls.

Or if it’s unbearably hot out and you know there’s no way you’re working in the garden, so what’s better than BLT on the menu?

Or on a snowy weekend morning, with the fireplace crackling, can you envision anything better than warm cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa?

Or maybe you’ve simply just had a bad day, with too much on your mind. Homemade mac and cheese? Potatoes and gravy?

Now allow me to take it one step further.

I also have my comfort movies. Yes, I have an fondness for certain movies that take me to my “warm and fuzzy” place.

When I’m sick, I pop in the old Disney movie “The Snowball Express.” Why, you may ask? I haven’t the faintest idea.

A sleepless night? I grab my Jack Lemon DVD of “Good Neighbor Sam.” This “go-to” is all about my grandma and staying up to watch it on the late, late show with her. (I even wore out my original VHS version of this one.)

How about those gloomy Saturday mornings when you have nothing planned? I enjoy playing Miss Marple movies from the 1960s staring Margaret Rutherford as I busy myself around the house.

And the theme music is magically fun.

I’ll admit, I’m not the greatest car traveler around.

I can only read for so long before I get sleepy, and looking out the window at endless miles of highway can bore me quickly. So while hubby drives, I’ll watch Don Knotts’ “Ghost and Mr. Chicken” that I’ve loaded on my tablet. I might add, I know this movie verbatim. Sad, but true.

When I’m able to lounge on a Sunday afternoon with napping as the only item on my agenda, I like to doze off with the old British series “To The Manor Born” playing.

And the hubs? I don’t think he is quite as neurotic as I am when it comes to “go-to” comfort movies. As long as it has his recliner and a John Wayne movie playing, he’s in his comfort zone.

Three cheers for our grand marshal Once again our community was treated to a super special Independence Day Parade … led by one of Newton’s most popular and beloved grand marshals, Junior Banks. He was given unending cheers from beginning to end, and his broad smiles were infectious!

When hearing about Junior Banks being chosen for this distinguished honor, I just happened to be reading the famous book by Lorraine Johnson-Coleman titled “Just Plain Folks.”

It traversed many of the many southern roads from the 1930s

Appreciative for ALICE training The Baxter Early Learning Center recently experienced ALICE training, courtesy of the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Department. Through an expedient coordination with Sheriff John Halferty, a Saturday training session was made available to our teachers and administration. For those of you unfamiliar with the ALICE training, it is civilian response training for all organizations, providing

where “Understanding was easy, but the living was hard.” The truth of her words and the spirit of her writing spirit is said to be unmatched. It’s a book everyone young and old would enjoy.

But, what impressed me the most was the description of this author, which mirrored almost the exact image of our beloved Junior Banks: “Original tales of living, loving, longing and learning, as told by a perfectly ordinary, quite commonly sensible, and absolutely awe inspiring individual.”

When I delivered the book as a gift to Junior Banks, commemorating his honor as being selected as Newton’s grand mar-

shal, he broke into his typical grand smile, tears came into his eyes as I read those descriptive words about two great people.

Naturally, he would say that he never deserved this special honor .... but we all know that he did.

Among all the grand marshals of our July 4 parades over the years, Junior Banks ranks as one of the very best and most deserving. I suggested that he have that large banner, signed by everyone at his current home in Park Center posted proudly on his wall as a lasting remembrance of his special day of honor. I’m sure he will!

more safe and strategic methods against an active shooter event and violence in the work place. ALICE is an acronym for the components of the program’s contents, “Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate.”

The education and safety of our children and staff are our very highest priorities. This training provided the much needed information, pause for reflection, hands on response practices and suggestions we were hoping for to elevate our facility to an all new level of service for our parents. We were

We at the Baxter Early Learning Center wish to extend our sincerest thanks to our local law enforcement for their work and dedication.

Wife questions care received at out-of-town walk-in clinic DEAR ABBY: On a recent trip out of state, my husband became ill. The hotel we stayed in referred us to a nearby urgent care walk-in clinic.

The nurse took his blood pressure, which was very high. The “doctor” never took his temperature or mentioned the high blood pressure to us.

He prescribed six drugs and we went on our way. My husband was happy; I was not.

When we returned home, I looked up the doctor’s name on the internet.

Actually, he was a physician’s assistant, not a medical doctor. Abby, what should people do if they become sick while traveling? — TRAVELING MEDICAL EMERGENCY DEAR T.M.E.: You have asked an excellent question, one that may help many other people.

It is always wise when you travel to bring along a list of any medications you’re taking and a copy of your medical records. Medical records are online these days and can be emailed to you upon request. A lot of health insurance companies offer a 24-hour service to call for a referral to a physician in whatever locale you happen to be.

Physician assistants are standard in many areas of the country as long as they are supervised by a physician — and in your husband’s case, there should have been an M.D. on the premises. You, as the consumer, have a right to ask questions. It would not have been out of line to inquire about the certification of the person who was treating your husband, or to ask to see the supervising M.D. If the medical emergency is dire, take no chances and call 911. If someone is really sick (having chest pains, muscle weakness, trouble speaking), an emergency room is better than an urgent care because more expertise and testing are available onsite.

DEAR ABBY: We are a married male couple. It is always awkward to

use the word “husband” when I’m referring to or asked about my spouse, because heterosexuals seem to think that if I have a “husband,” then that makes me a “wife.” Nope!

I have started using “husband” and not “partner” because we are legally married and have been together for 18 years. Lesbians seem to have no trouble using “wife” when referring to each other. Why then does there seem to be a problem with male couples using “husband and husband” without it seeming awkward for heterosexuals?

I have experienced this problem many times, and so have other male couples we know. Is there another term that’s better than “husband”? — PERPLEXED IN PHOENIX DEAR PERPLEXED: You could use the word “spouse,” but using the word “husband” is preferable. (“Partner” may be appropriate, but in my opinion, it does not accurately describe your status as a married person.) People may be jolted to hear married male couples refer to each other as husband because same-sex marriage is still new in many areas of the country.

Personally, I think you should use the word “husband” and be confident in doing so. The more you do, the greater the opportunity for the larger population to become accustomed to hearing it used.

All bags to be checked at Des Moines music festival DES MOINES — A popular Des Moines music festival plans to check all bags as part of increased security at the event.

Suggestions for heightened security at the 80/35 music festival started last summer, when the event had overflowing crowds.

Festival organizer Amedeo Rossi says bags checks will be required at the six entry points throughout the festival grounds for people who want to enter the event. Bag checks were previously only conducted when entering the paid main stage area of the festival.

Man accused of trying to blow up apartment DAVENPORT — Federal charges have been filed against a Davenport man accused of trying to blow up an apartment where he lived in with his girlfriend and her young son. Prosecutors on Tuesday charged 44-year-old Gramann Barnes with attempting to maliciously damage or destroy the building by means of fire and explosive. If convicted, Barnes faces up to 20 years in federal prison. Authorities say Barnes and the woman argued on March 15, and he hurt her and her 2-year-old son.

5 Man gets two years for cattle fraud, ordered to pay $396K

DES MOINES — An Ottumwa man has been sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $396,000 for a cattle fraud scheme.

DeWitt acknowledged he lied to induce a victim to obtain a bank loan.

EPA urges states to publish individual lead water samples IOWA CITY (AP) — States have taken steps to address the risk of lead in drinking water after the crisis in Flint, Michigan, but more needs to be done to share key information with the public, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday.

In letters to state drinking water regulators, the agency called on all states to make individual lead sampling results available online in searchable databases. That practice, already established in states like Illinois, allows residents to see which homes and buildings

have been tested by utilities and what levels of the toxin, which is most harmful for young children and pregnant women, was identified.

The EPA said a “substantial number” of states were already posting such information. But others, such as Iowa, have resisted, citing a lack of information technology resources and privacy concerns about posting addresses of testing sites.

Those obstacles can be overcome and the EPA will help by sharing with states lessons learned from the launches of existing databases, Deputy

Woman discovers she’s pregnant, gives birth on same day FORT MADISON (AP) — An Illinois woman says she delivered a baby girl a few hours after she found out she was 39 weeks pregnant.

Heather Columbus of Niota, Illinois, was admitted to the Fort Madison Community Hospital in Iowa on the morning of June 26 with back pain and cramps.

Columbus was given an ultrasound and a nurse informed her and her husband Michael, who had been waiting in the car, that she was 39-weeks pregnant and the back pain she had been feeling was most likely contractions.

“I was completely in shock the whole time,” Columbus said. “Heck, I’m still in shock, really. I’m still trying to process it, really. I’m waiting to wake up from it.”

Columbus says she still had her menstrual cycle and never felt her baby move.

That afternoon, 7-pound, 13-ounce Leona Josephine Columbus was born. She was named after both parents’ grandmothers.

“We named her after the two toughest women we knew,” Michael Columbus said.

Columbus said their friends, families and employers have provided nearly everything they need for their newborn daughter.

“It’s been amazing. They have helped out quite a bit.” Columbus said. “Everybody has.”

Assistant Administrator Joel Beauvais said in an interview.

“It’s one of a number of transparency elements that we see as really important,” he said.

While no amount of lead exposure is considered safe, the rule calls for water systems to keep levels below 15 parts per billion during periodic testing.

If more than 10 percent of sampled high-risk homes are above that level, water agencies must inform customers about the problem and take steps such as adding chemicals to control corrosion.

Water systems routinely

publish data showing they are overall in compliance with the rule — but omit information that shows specific addresses were at or above the limit.

“There might be a significant number of samples that are showing lead levels of concern and it’s important for the public to know that,” Beauvais said. He added that privacy concerns can be addressed by redacting personal information.

The EPA also called on the nation’s water systems to complete their inventories of locations with lead service lines, a key indicator that homes are at

risk for contamination. When water comes through the lines that connect many older homes to water mains, lead particles can leach and taint what comes out of the tap.

Those inventories, posted online in searchable databases by some utilities, allow homeowners to find out whether their homes have lead service lines so they can replace them or add filtration systems. Water systems were required in the 1990s to begin work on such inventories, but state regulators told the EPA that many were never finished or are outdated.

Brisk sales drive Mega Millions jackpot to $540 million DES MOINES (AP) — The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to $540 million for Friday’s drawing because tickets are selling at about twice the rate of a week ago.

An estimated $1 billion in tickets have been sold since the last winning ticket was drawn in early March. This is the longest Mega Millions run without a winner.

Tickets are sold in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

STILL A LONG WAY FROM THE BIGGEST JACKPOT EVER Friday’s jackpot is the seventh highest U.S. jackpot. The Powerball game had the biggest U.S. jackpot ever at $1.586 billion. Winners in Tennessee and Florida cashed in their tickets after picking the right numbers for the Jan. 12 drawing but a third ticket sold in suburban

Los Angeles still hasn’t been turned in. The winner has another six months before the ticket expires.

WHAT’S THE LIKELIHOOD OF WINNING? The odds of correctly picking all five white ball numbers (out of 75) and one yellow ball number (out of 15) in the Mega Millions game are 1 in 259 million. Revamps to the country’s two biggest lottery games in recent years decreased the odds of picking all the numbers needed for the top prize, though officials point out it has increased the number of winners who score smaller prizes. On Tuesday tickets sold in California, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas had the first five numbers correct, winning $1 million apiece for seven lucky

players. About 7.3 million winning tickets were sold, including those who picked 10 for the Mega Ball and got their $1 price of the ticket back.

COULD IT BE 8 IS A LUCKY NUMBER The jackpot has been rolling over since March 8, when a Washington man won the $157 million prize. The only other Mega Millions jackpot awarded this year was a $169 million prize won by a New York woman on Jan. 8. The next drawing is Friday, July 8.

SPEAKING OF NUMBERS It’s been said one is the loneliest number but 11 isn’t getting much attention these days. It’s been chosen only once as the Mega Ball so far this year. Nine, however, is apparently a lucky number since it’s been the Mega Ball 13 times in 2016.

Obama: America is horrified over Dallas attack

AP Photo A Dallas police officer, who did not want to be identified, takes a moment as she guards an intersection in the early morning after a shooting in downtown Dallas, Friday. At least two snipers opened fire on police officers during protests in Dallas on Thursday night; at least five officers were killed, police said.

Five police officers dead, seven hurt in Dallas shooting DALLAS (AP) — Gunmen shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others during a protest over fatal police shootings of black men in other states, authorities said. It appeared to be the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Thursday’s bloodshed, which unfolded just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963, also evoked the trauma of the nation’s tumultuous civil rights era.

Police Chief David Brown blamed “snipers,” but it was unclear how many shooters were involved. Authorities initially said three suspects were in custody and a fourth dead. But Brown later said police were not certain that all suspects had been located.

Mayor Mike Rawlings said the dead suspect was slain by police using explosives in a parking garage where the man had exchanged gunfire with officers.

Before dying, the police chief said, the dead suspect declared to officers that he was upset about recent shootings and wanted to kill whites, “especially white officers.”

The suspect had also said he

was not affiliated with any groups and stated that he acted alone, Brown added.

None of the suspects were identified, and the police chief said he would not disclose any details about them until authorities were sure everyone involved was in custody.

The shooting began about 8:45 p.m. Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the week’s fatal police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota.

Brown told reporters the snipers fired “ambush style” on the officers. Two civilians were also wounded, Rawlings said.

Brown said it appeared the shooters “planned to injure and kill as many officers as they could.”

Video from the scene showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.

“I think the biggest thing that we’ve had something like this is when JFK died,” resident Jalisa Jackson said early Friday from downtown. Officers crouched beside vehicles, armored SWAT team vehicles arrived and a helicopter hovered overhead.

Demonstrations were held in several other U.S. cities Thursday night to protest the police killings of two more black men: A Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child, the shooting’s aftermath livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video. A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video.

Thursday’s shootings occurred in an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments only a few blocks from Dealey Plaza, the landmark made famous by the Kennedy assassination.

The scene was chaotic, with officers with automatic rifles on the street corners.

“Everyone just started running,” Devante Odom, 21, told The Dallas Morning News. “We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there.”

Carlos Harris, who lives downtown, told the newspaper that the shooters “were strategic. It was tap, tap, pause. Tap, tap pause,” he said.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — President Barack Obama said Friday that America is “horrified” by a targeted shooting of police officers in Dallas, and he said there is no justification for the violence.

“We still don’t know all the facts. What we do know is that there has been a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement,” Obama said in a brief statement to reporters.

The president called the shooters motives “twisted” and vowed that “justice will be done.”

Obama “There is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks or any violence against law enforcement,” Obama said.

Obama spoke with Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings early Friday and offered his support and condolences. He said the FBI is also in contact with Dallas police.

Obama spoke from Warsaw, Poland, where he is meeting with NATO and European Union leaders. Obama arrived early Friday shortly before the snipers opened fire on police officers, killing five officers and injuring seven others during protests over two recent fatal police shootings of black men.

Immediately after landing in Warsaw, and before the shootings, Obama made a point of expressing solidarity with protesters. In a hastily arranged statement to reporters Obama called on Americans to do more to fight injustice and racial disparities in the criminal justice system.

The remarks appeared aimed at ensuring Obama did not appear to be withdrawn from the roiling public debate over police brutality.

The president has acknowledged becoming out of the touch with the public mood during past foreign travels and seemed determined not to let that happen this week.

In this case, Obama also proved to be grimly attuned to the potential for violence directed at police and criticism that the protesters were hostile toward law enforcement.

There’s no contradiction between supporting law enforcement and working to see that biases in the justice system are rooted out, Obama said.

“So when people say ‘Black Lives Matter,’ that doesn’t mean blue lives don’t matter,” he said, referring to police. “It just means all lives matter — but right now the big concern is the fact that the data shows black folks are more vulnerable to these kinds of incidents.”

Obama expressed his gratitude to police officers and noted he had grieved with families of fallen officers. He reiterated that message Friday morning.

“Today is a wrenching reminder of the sacrifices that they make for us,” Obama said. “Today our focus is on the victims and their families.

They are heartbroken. The entire city of Dallas is grieving. Police across America, which is a tight-knit family, feels this loss to their core.”

Padget returns to CMB bench as girls hoops coach

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News When Eric Padget stepped away from coaching the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter girls basketball team in 2013, he did so because he wanted to be able to watch his son Brendyn’s activities as he came through the CMB system.

Four years later, Brendyn is now in high school and coach Padget has returned to the bench. Pending board approval later this month, Padget has been named the next girls basketball coach at CMB. “It was a good time to step down before because my son was coming into junior high,” Padget said. “I always envisioned coming back.

Cheering for area teams on the diamonds F

our of the five Jasper County high school softball teams were in action Wednesday night with a lot on the line.

It is tough on a community newspaper’s sports staff when two of the local teams are battling each other in athletic competition. We want all of our area athletes to excel and reach the high goals they’ve set for themselves and their teams.

Wednesday night I was in Colfax covering the Class 1A Region 6 quarterfinal softball game between 12th-ranked Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully. Tuesday was only the second opportunity I had during the season to see Lynnville-Sully’s team play and Wednesday was the first for me to see the Tigerhawk squad play.

For me, I go along on the roller coaster ride with the area teams.

It has been happening since I began my sports journalist career in 1979. It

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Going after a third straight Iowa Corn 300 victory in Sunday’s Verizon IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway will be Ryan Hunter-Reay (28). It is the 10th annual IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway and Hunter-Reay is competing in his ninth. He has won three times on the Newton track.

IndyCar drivers ready for 10th Iowa Corn race

Indy Lights opens Sunday racing at Iowa Speedway

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Helio Castroneves, three-time Indy 500 winner, will drive in his 10th Verizon IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway Sunday. He is one of four drivers who will have competed in every IndyCar Series race on the 7/8-mile oval track in Newton with Sunday’s Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300.

Castroneves smiled when asked about his victory record at Iowa a week ago as the IndyCar teams had a day of testing at Iowa Speedway.

He holds the one-lap track record (17.2283 seconds, 186.809 mph) and is the defending pole winner, but is winless with one podium finish in nine previous Iowa races. Still, the Team Penske driver enjoys the track.

“The Hitachi car seems to be out of the box very fast again. As you touched the subject, I haven’t won here yet — always pole position or always in the front,” Castroneves said. “Hopefully this year is going to be different. The reason I say that is there’s a lot of difference scenarios, not being a night race. … It would be great to capture our first win here and first of the season.”

It is the 10th running of a Verzion IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway. It was a 250-lap event until 2014.

IndyCar was the first major racing series to come to the track, which opened in September 2006 and had its first full season of racing in 2007.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets doesn’t matter what newspaper — in Kansas or now in Iowa — I’m working for, and it doesn’t matter if the teams are ranked or not. It’s in my DNA to roll with the area athletes.

So, you can imagine what Wednesday was like for me. I don’t think any fans could tell because I stay pretty calm on the outside, but inside I was going back and forth just like the Hawks and Tigerhawks were on the field.

Colfax-Mingo broke out on top 3-0 then Lynnville-Sully tied it up. The Hawks gained a 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth, but the Tigerhawks rolled up five runs in the bottom of the inning to take control, 8-4, which was the final score.

A week ago was my work anniversary at the Newton Daily News. Because I came on July 1 in 2013, I am covering my fourth softball and baseball seasons and headed to my fifth school year.

Since coming to Newton, I’ve covered Newton and Lynnville-Sully teams more than Colfax-Mingo,

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Ryan Hunter-Reay is a three-time winner of the Verizon IndyCar Series race at Iowa Speedway. He has won back-to-back Iowa Corn 300s in 2014 and 2015. Hunter-Reay along with the other IndyCar drivers were team testing at the Newton track on June 29.

Sunday’s race is the third annual Iowa Corn 300. The green flag drops at 4:40 p.m. Driver introductions at 4 p.m., which is when race coverage begins on NBCSN. For the second year in a row, the Indy Lights Iowa Challenge presented by Cooper Tires sets the stage for the IndyCar Series race. The 115-lap race for the second-tier Indy car series starts at 2:15 p.m. Sunday.

IndyCar and Indy Lights practice runs and IndyCar Series qualifying are set to start at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The Indy Lights qualifying is at noon Sunday.

There is only one winner of the Iowa Corn 300 races at Iowa Speedway — Ryan Hunter-Reay. Hunter-Reay has three IndyCar Series

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe teams. That first summer, I covered a couple of games for the Tigerhawk softball and baseball teams. Playoff games by Lynnville-Sully teams, PCM’s softball squad and the Newton teams were under my care that summer.

Only Lynnville-Sully’s softball teams have taken me to state tournaments in the summers here at Newton.

The Hawks were turned away from another possible state trip by Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks, who are having one of the program’s best seasons in awhile. Look for these two South Iowa Cedar League teams to be battling again next as they each are young teams this season.

“This was a good ballgame. Our girls played hard and we knew coming into this season we had a lot of challenges as we moved through it because how young we were,” Lynnville-Sully softball head coach Stacey Alberts said after Wednesday contest.

“We’ve come leaps and bounds. I’m proud of how the kids responded and finished there season. We will miss our three seniors, who have had an impact on our program and are just good people. I’m disappointed we didn’t get the win, and we had a few blips defensively, but that’s softball. We have a

race victories at Iowa including the past two races.

Hunter-Reay drove the No. 28 DHL Honda to Victory Lane in 2015 to give Andretti Autosport it’s sixth consecutive victory at Iowa. The other past winners of the Iowa race entered in Sunday’s event are James Hinchcliffe (013), Marco Andretti (2011) and Tony Kanaan (2010).

“Iowa Speedway is a fantastic race track and we do some of the best IndyCar racing on the schedule here,” Hunter-Reay said. “It is one of the highlights on the schedule for our team. It is also a tough place to get right with all the changes in the track and it’s bumps.”

INDYCAR | 6B solid program and our young players will come back stronger next year,” Alberts said.

The Tigerhawks and CMB’s Raider softball team are in positions to make state softball tournament runs as both advanced in their respective playoff tournaments Wednesday.

“Any time you have a team with no seniors, games and wins like this mean a lot because you’re building the base for your program. They have to learn how to win and how to move on, which is how outstanding teams are developed,” Colfax-Mingo softball head coach Bryan Poulter said.

Baseball playoffs begin Saturday for CMB and PCM in Class 2A District 13 while Lynnville-Sully’s opening 1A district game is Tuesday.

Newton’s softball team begins Class 4A Region 2 action at home Saturday.

The Newton baseball team found out Thursday it will play its Class 3A District 12 opener July 15 at Pella.

Oh, yeah, there’s racing at Iowa Speedway this weekend with the ARCA Series race Saturday and the Verizon IndyCar Series and Indy Lights Series races on Sunday. Nothing going on here at all — sarcasm at its best.

Tigerhawk rally falls short at Central Decatur

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News LEON — The Colfax-Mingo baseball team rallied back from two different deficits against Central Decatur on Thursday night.

Unfortunately for the Tigerhawks, they couldn’t muster enough hits in the final inning to rally for a third time.

Central Decatur had leads of 2-0 and 4-2 and then plated two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take its final lead of the game during a 6-5 victory over the Tigerhawks.

Colfax-Mingo tied the Cardinals (18-11) in the third inning when senior Gabe Simpson singled and then scored on senior Jacob Buehrer’s RBI triple.

Buehrer made it 2-all when he scored on freshman Zarek Hill’s RBI single.

Sophomore Misha Seebeck had three hits in the game. His final hit was a bases-clearing, three-run double to give Colfax-Mingo its only lead of the game in the sixth inning.

Before Seebeck’s go-ahead double, sophomore Jonathan Jacobs walked, eighth-grader Trystin Ross singled and Simpson reached on an error.

Central Decatur, which has won three straight games and eight of its last 10, took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth in part because of a walk and an error by Colfax-Mingo.

Hill finished with two hits in the loss for the Tigerhawks, who dropped to 14-14 on the season.

Ross (2-1) took the loss on the mound. He relieved Bueh-

Padget Continued from Page 1B timeline but instead just waited until the position came open.

“Truth be told, I missed it terribly. I missed coaching. I missed the relationship I had with the team.”

Padget guided the Raider girls basketball program for six years, from 2007-2013.

Jamie Zabelcoached the Padget Raiders the past three seasons.

“I am pumped to be back,” Padget said. “I am getting a little bit of a late start, but we have had some open gyms, and we are playing in the Drake team camp this summer.”

The Raiders went 7-17, 5-17 and 2-19 in Zabel’s three seasons as coach. Padget directed the Raiders to a 9-15 season in 2013. Before that, Padget also won nine games in 2012 and eight games in 2009.

Padget should have a good bunch of talent to work with.

Junior Brianda Bane will be one of the best players in the Heart of Iowa Conference next year, and CMB also welcomes back seniors Kathleen Baldwin and Mikayla Eslinger, juniors Sydney Ziesman and Sailor Hinegardner and sophomore Josie Wierson.

Last year’s CMB freshman team had a very successful season, and the incoming freshman class also were very good.

The future of CMB athletics is unknown at this point, but Padget welcomes the idea of helping the student-athletes through a difficult time.

“I have been a big advocate of keeping CMB alive,” Padget said. “I see the situation next year potentially being very difficult on our kids.

I saw it as an opportunity to put my money where my mouth is, be a leader and help the kids get through it.”

Piscotty, Grichuk both homer as Cardinals beat Pirates ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright relished the chance to stop a skid.

The Cardinals’ ace worked seven effective innings to help St. Louis beat Pittsburgh 5-1 on Thursday to avoid a four-game sweep and end the Pirates’ season-best seven-game winning streak.

Wainwright (8-5) was a

20-game winner two years ago, but missed most of last season with a torn left Achilles. He is rediscovering his form now, lowering his ERA to 4.49.

Stephen Piscotty hit a three-run home run and Randal Grichuk also went deep for St. Louis, which reclaimed second place in the

No all-Williams final at Wimbledon after Kerber stops Venus LONDON (AP) — Instead of the ninth all-Williams final at a Grand Slam tournament, there will be a rematch of another sort to determine the title at Wimbledon.

And so as Serena Williams again stands S. Williams one victory from her record-tying 22nd major title, she will need to beat a woman who already stopped her once this year in that pursuit, Angelique Kerber.

After Williams needed all of 48 minutes to overwhelm Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-0 at the All England Club, older sister Venus failed to join in the family fun, losing to Kerber 6-4, 6-4 in Thursday’s second semifinal.

Since winning her sixth Wimbledon trophy a year ago to raise her career count at Grand Slam events to 21, Serena has come quite close to pulling even with Steffi Graf at 22 — the most in the Open era, which began in 1968 (Margaret Court’s all-time mark is 24). But the American was surprisingly beaten by Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals last September, then by Kerber in the Australian Open final in January, and by Garbine

Muguruza in the French Open final last month.

Venus is a five-time Wimbledon champion but hadn’t been to the semifinals since she was the runner-up to Serena seven years ago.

But against Kerber, Venus was broken the first four times she served.

She never recovered.

She was a half-step slow to some balls, was breathing heavily after longer points, and wound up with 21 unforced errors, 10 more than Kerber.

Serena’s serve was in fine form, reaching 123 mph and producing 11 aces against the 50th-ranked Vesnina, who was making her major semifinal debut. Serena won 28 of 31 points she served, including the last 17.

Serena had Vesnina looking defeated after all of 12 points. That’s when, after sprinting for a forehand that landed in the net, the Russian leaned over, sighed and slumped her shoulders.

There would be plenty more of that sort of body language from Vesnina, a two-time Wimbledon runner-up in doubles who later Thursday went out in the quarterfinals of that event and lost to Serena a second time.

The Williams-Williams pairing beat Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-2.

NL Central by a half-game over Pittsburgh to end a rough 4-5 homestand. AllStar Matt Carpenter joined Brandon Moss and Brayan Pena on the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day.

Piscotty’s 11th homer off Arquimedes Caminero was initially ruled off the top of the center-field wall but the

call was overturned after review. Piscotty had three homers during the home stand.

Tyler Glasnow (0-1) was charged with four runs in 5 1/3 innings in his debut. The 22-year-old right-hander was the 11th starter used by the Pirates and, like Steven Brault earlier in the series, got his first career hit.

For every minute spent organizing your life under the Virgo moon, an hour is earned. These hours will accumulate over time and will come on the backs of key hooks, phone caddies and a general rule about designating a place for everything. Virgo lunar vibration angles Neptune and then Pluto to suggest inspired ways of organizing your life.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 8).

The year is marked by a sense of accomplishment as you tick off about 12 significant items from your long-term list before the year is up. This month brings an exciting trip. You’ll land a deal in August and put the money in

the bank in September. November brings a big bonus. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are 50, 44, 29, 19 and 31.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’re willing (even obligated and relieved) to tell the truth.

The question is: Which truth should you tell? Not all truths are relevant. Some truths are none of their business.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Spreading good vibes is your specialty and it takes no effort at all for you to do so. You’re in the habit of saying something positive to everyone who

What if you could only talk in emojis? In a way, this is the case today, because no matter what you say or hear, the emotion of it will come through at a much higher volume than the actual sound.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It feels good when you wake up in the morning and the sun comes through to blow out the mental cobwebs and illuminate the main shining purpose on your mind. One beautiful thought carries you through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you don’t know the tricks and tips, you’ll wind up working twice as hard as the ones who do. Before you dive into the task, ask if there’s a way to do it better, faster, cheaper or smarter.

IndyCar Continued from Page 1B Hunter-Reay said the Newton track is respected by all the IndyCar Series drivers because it is one of the most physically challenging tracks they compete on. Iowa Speedway is the shortest track the IndyCar Series runs on.

He pointed to the short straightaways for the quick Indy cars. Hunter-Reay said the track came more physical a year ago with the added downforce with the new aero kits on the cars.

“The weight of the (steering) wheel is tremendous since there is no power steering in our cars. You’re pulling over 5Gs in the corners and on the short track, you’re always turning,” Hunter-Reay said.

Hunter-Reay is standing 11th in driver points coming into Iowa. He said the 2016 season has been had its’ ups and downs. He said he enjoys racing at Iowa and is looking forward to Sunday’s race.

“The Iowa winters are rough on the track so it changes every year. As a driver, you approach driving here differently. As a team, we have to be flexible in our setup for the car,” Hunter-Reay said. “We’ll be looking for the right setup again to earn our fourth win here, but it becomes harder each year to achieve.”

Castroneves is joined by Andretti, Kanaan and Scott Dixon as the four drivers set to start their 10th IndyCar Series race at Iowa. No driver has won at Iowa after winning the pole position.

“It’s a small track, but it’s fast,” Castroneves said. “Even though we don’t reach 230 mph like Indianapolis, it feels more like that — more than that — when you’re going around this short track. When you’re going around 17 seconds (a lap), and on the (race) weekend, we might be breaking into the 16s, it’s super-fast and it’s fun at the same time because you do have some challenges.”

Team Penske’s Castroneves said it would be great to get to Victory Lane on the 10th running of the race at Iowa. He currently is second in series points behind leader Simon Pagenaud.

Will Power, who won the IndyCar Series June 26 race in Wisconsin, is third followed by Dixon.

Joseph Newgarden has back-toback second-place finishes at Iowa.

The Ed Carpenter Racing driver is sitting fifth in points. Kanaan is sixth followed by Carlos Munoz, Graham Rahal, Juan Pablo Montoya and rookie Alexander Rossi.

Rossi, who drives for Andretti Autosport, won the 2016 Indianapolis 500 in May. He got his first look at Iowa Speedway a week ago on testing

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News IndyCar Series drivers Helio Castroneves, above left, James Hinchcliffe, above right, and Sabastien Bourdais, at right, were at Iowa Speedway a week ago for track team testing. The three are among the Verizon IndyCar Series competitors for Sunday’s Iowa Corn 300 at Iowa Speedway. Castroneves is one of four drivers in the field who have competed in all 10 IndyCar Series races at the Newton track.

Hinchcliffe won the 2013 race at Iowa Speedway.

day. In the afternoon session, Rossi was uninjured when his car spun in Turn 2 and made contact with the SAFER Barrier.

“I think the track is great. Ovals are very new to me this year, so still trying to figure out the idiosyncrasies of each one, but the initial impressions were very good,” Rossi said.

Hunter-Reay said as a teammate Rossi was open to learning and developing as a driver. He said to have a rookie win the 100th running of the Indy 500 was good for the sport as the younger drivers move up into the IndyCar Series.

Hinchcliffe said he was just happy to be back at work after sitting out half of the 2015 season because of on-track accident. He said a bad day on the race track is better than the best day in most jobs.

“I get to wake up and go drive Indy cars,” Hinchcliffe said. “I have a lot of great memories here at Iowa. I love this track. When I first came here during Indy Lights in 2009, it was right from the get-go one of my favorite ovals to come race on.’

Hinchcliffe, who is 13th in the

points standings, drives for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. He said the testing was going well and for him it was an opportunity to reacquaint himself with the Newton track.

“The track is a bit bumpier than I remember, but I’m a bit bumpier than 2014,” Hinchcliffe said. “I also know what a good car feels like around this place. We’re getting a baseline for the set up. This is the first time I’ve been on this track with the aero kits. Obviously, we’re all trying to do anything Andretti Autosport does because they’ve got it figured out here.”

Another driver involved in the track testing a week ago was Sebastien Bourdais of KVSH Racing. Bourdais is from Le Mans, France, talked about IndyCar Series racing differing from other racing series.

“The versatility. It’s really what I cherish about this series,” Bourdais said. “To be able to go from a street course to a road course to a short oval to superspeedway — high banking, low banking, no banking — you really have to be a complete driver and master everything if you want to win the

championship. That’s what separates the series from anything else.”

The 2015 Indy Lights race winner at Iowa was Max Chilton, who has moved up into the IndyCar Series driving for Chip Ganassi Racing Teams. Ed Jones holds the top spot in the Indy Lights championship standings. He was second at Iowa a year ago.

“IndyCar made this place the Fastest Short Track on the Planet by taking a chance on Iowa Speedway in 2007,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said. “We’re celebrating a great tradition and partnership with IndyCar, Iowa Corn and Iowa Speedway this weekend.”

Small said the Iowa Corn 300 is special in Iowa Speedway’s history and continues to grow with the track.

He said it is great when Iowa Corn brings a few thousand of its producers out to the track for the race weekend as the entire state celebrates being the top producer in corn and ethanol fuel, which Indy cars use.
