INSIDE TODAY

sections of Highway S-74, also known as the Reasnor Road, will be closed prior to the conclusion of the races on Friday and Saturday nights to help with the flow of traffic from the speedway. The closures also will help protect law enforcement officers from any potential traffic hazards.

Southbound traffic from South 13th

Avenue and Highway S-74 will be temporarily closed, as well as northbound traffic from South 44th Avenue and Highway S-74 as traffic leaves the speedway.

When it is determined that officers are no longer needed for traffic control at Rusty Wallace Drive and Highway S-74, the roadway will be reopened.

dit will save the county $2,723.28 a month, which is a 21 percent difference between what it was previously paying. Howze said her clients most typically see around a 10 percent difference in savings.

The county will also receive $44,452.93 in credits for its phones services due to Howze’s work.

All three board members praised her for her work and Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott, whom Howze worked with on the project, said the county didn’t have to pay an upfront fee for the audit. He said Howze receives payment form a percentage of the savings.

Jasper County Community Services Director Jody Eaton’s update on the Central Iowa Community Services Region revealed that the new CEO for the region had been chosen.

Deb Schildroth, Story County’s community services director, was selected for the role.

Eaton also mentioned she had been appointed to several roles within the region and that CICSR became officially operational on July 1.

Attorneys for Theresa “Terri” Supino filed for a change of venue Tuesday for her double first-degree murder trial in the 31-year-old Copper Dollar Ranch case.

Defense attorneys Steven Addington and Jill Eimermann cited ongoing local media coverage as well as TNT’s “Cold Justice” episode that aired March 28 as reaSupino sons an impartial jury could not be found in Jasper County.

“The entertainment program itself revealed evidence obtained during the course of the investigation which would not otherwise be made known to the public prior to trial and, moreover, may not ultimately be admissible in trial,” the motion stated. “Moreover, the nature of this entertainment program was not simply informative in nature and was clearly designed to lead viewers to a predetermined conclusion in the case; that conclusion being that the defendant was the perpetrator of murder.”

Jasper County Attorney Michael Jacobsen filed a motion resisting the change of venue, noting among his reasons, “jurors should be trusted to expose any substantial prejudices among them” and “impartiality does not demand complete juror ignorance of issues and events.” Supino pleaded not guilty during a March 10 court appearance. Her trial originally had been scheduled for June 23, but no new trial date has been set.

During Tuesday’s pretrial conference, Supino also notified the court of a potential dispute between herself and “Cold Justice.” According to court documents, she has demanded all video footage — aired and unaired — from the show. The court informed her she must file a motion to compel discovery if the footage is not provided voluntarily.

Supino also raised a concern about the Jasper County Jail’s policy regarding dispensing of her medications. If the parties are unable to reach a consensus as to which medications will be dispensed to Supino while she is in custody, she has the option of filing a motion seeking the court’s intervention.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors gave a strong showing of support toward the Wagaman Mill in Lynnville on Tuesday. It approved a resolution to create and place two new county signs along Interstate 80 to promote the destination.

Dallas Cupples, an intern for the Jasper County Conservation Office, spearheaded the project.

Cupples, whose internship is at the mill, contacted private landowners about placing the signs on their property, and she said she found two receptive parties. Cupples then made contact with Newtonbased Sign Pro to come up with a mock-up for the signs.

The mill is operated by the Lynnville Historical Society with JCCO maintaining a small portion of the upkeep. Cupples said she wanted the board to make the signs county signs because of the high cost of getting signage through the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Jasper County Conservation Director Keri Van Zante said this project had been on her list of

things to do for a number of years; however, she never found the time to accomplish it. She publicly praised Cupples for her work.

An estimate for the new signs is $1,060.

Van Zante also received approval from the board for a transfer order. She sought to move $4,239 from the county’s general fund back into the conservation budget. The funds were garnered through camping fees at several of the county’s parks. Van Zante wants to use the fee money to continue making improvements on the camping properties.

“In my opinion, if we’re not going to use that money for parks, then we need to quit charging for camping … As long as it’s used for that, I’m extremely happy,” board member Dennis Stevenson said.

Integrity Audit Services owner Tameca Howze recently performed an audit on the county’s telephone services and presented her results to the board. Howze discovered the county was overpaying on several of its accounts, and in some instances, it was being charged for services it no longer uses.

On Monday, the Newton City Council unanimously passed the first consideration of an ordinance that will give Skiff Medical Center Board of Trustees the authority to make decisions on joint ventures and affiliations, contracts and various real estate transactions without seeking council action.

“We have been a city hospital in Newton since 1921.

Since then, we have had an ordinance with the city regarding the relationship between the hospital and the city because the city owns the hospital,” Skiff Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Steve Long said. “The ordinance has only changed a couple of times over the 90-year history of the hospital.”

During a council meeting in February, council unanimously passed a resolution to support the action by the board to help

ensure the continued existence of a hospital in Newton. Since February, the board at Skiff has been pursuing action to ensure that a hospital remains in Newton.

“We’re looking at changing the organizational structure of the hospital with going out and finding a partner due to the way health care is changing,” Long said. “When we looked at the ordinance, which describes the relationship between the hospital and the city, we realized

it wasn’t very complete, as it looked like the last update to the ordinance dated back to the ’70s. We approached council about updating the ordinance and they agreed since it hasn’t been looked at in a long time.”

The changes to the ordinance would modernize the relationship between the city and the hospital similar to other city hospitals across Iowa.

400,000 Iowans eligible for buying club refunds IOWA CITY (AP) — More than 400,000 Iowa residents including many seniors who were tricked into signing up for buying club memberships will be eligible for refunds ranging from $6 to more than $1,000, under a landmark consumer fraud settlement announced Tuesday.

Refund notices were mailed Monday to people who unknowingly paid for memberships with Connecticutbased Vertrue Inc. and two other buying clubs over the last 25 years, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said.

In all, they will be eligible for $40 million in refunds that will be paid out between October and December, he said.

The number of people who enrolled was equivalent to 13 percent of Iowa’s 3.1 million population, although some had multiple memberships to programs in which they could buy discounted goods or services.

The vast majority of the memberships were never used.

Miller said the victims were deceived into paying recurring monthly charges ranging from $9 to $30 for memberships that they did not want through misleading telephone, mailing and Internet solicitations.

Many of the pitches asked them to sign up for a “free trial” or receive a gift card after they had made other, legitimate transactions. Mailings informing customers about their memberships were designed to look like junk mail and were often thrown away. Some customers didn’t catch the small charges on their cards, he said.

Richard Schulz, 75, of Des Moines, will receive roughly $1,500 after he unwittingly enrolled in a Vertrue program. Schulz said he was signed up by a telemarketer after ordering another product on the phone in 2005. He said he paid the fees for years because he wasn’t checking his credit card statement closely.

“I do feel like I’ve been duped,” he said at a news conference with Miller.

Miller played a recorded phone call in which a Vertrue telemarketer spoke quickly and almost incompre-

hensively as she offered a widow a $25 Walmart gift card for a buying club trial membership. The company never sent the gift card but instead billed to woman’s credit card $14.95 monthly for a membership that she never used.

The refunds are the culmination of Miller’s 11-year investigation and prosecution of Vertrue, which was ordered to pay a $40 million judgment after selling 864,000 memberships to 400,000 Iowa residents dating back to 1989. Miller, a Democrat who is known nationally for his consumer protection work, said some other states reached settlements with Vertrue but Iowa was the only one to take it to trial.

The Iowa Supreme Court ruled last year that Vertrue’s practices violated the state’s buying club and consumer fraud laws. Justices said the company’s pitches were confusing for everyone but particularly for the elderly, who were more susceptible to them.

Vertrue’s parent company filed for bankruptcy in 2012, but Miller’s office has collected a $32.6 million appeal bond the company posted. After the Supreme Court ruling, Miller reached two settlements with others who were accused of misleading customers in similar fashion.

Affinion Group Inc. and subsidiaries paid $5.5 million to settle allegations that it misled Iowa residents into paying for discount programs through “free trials.” Two companies affiliated with JCPenney, including Stonebridge Benefit Services Inc., agreed to pay $2.7 million. The companies didn’t admit wrongdoing.

Most of the refunds will range from $6 to $40 apiece, but Miller said some will be significantly higher.

Tim Siefer, a 65-year-old retired engineer in Marion, said he was surprised to get a call from Miller’s office informing him he would receive $1,200. He said he has no idea what program he signed up for, how much he was paying per month and for how long.

“This is good news for me, sure,” he said, “but it’s great news for a lot of people.”

A former Newton resident who was living in Altoona at the time of her arrest, Supino was charged with two counts of firstdegree murder on the 31st anniversary of the March 3, 1983, deaths of her estranged husband, 20-year-old Steven Fisher, and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Melisa Gregory.

Katiedid Vs.

World Cup at the White Castle When I was 19 years old, I lived in Australia in a house with six other expatriates — three Americans, two Germans and a Bulgarian. We lovingly referred to our home as the White Castle. For one, the white boxy house stood at the very top of a huge hill and could be seen from far and wide. And secondly, it was the most disgusting cesspool of filth and vermin that any human being has ever had the displeasure of living in.

It was ground zero for the birth of the bubonic plague, the death of the dinosaurs and the weird radioactive green ooze that resulted in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I’m sure of it.

Situated in the middle of a paved-over rain forest, the castle had no heating, air conditioning, fans or screens. We were forced to leave the windows open to prevent death by heat exhaustion, and each night, the ceiling would turn black from the bugs that flew in.

Each morning, we would sweep up the bugs that

By Katiedid now carpeted the floor as Langrock armies of ants tore apart Creators Syndicate the dying insects. Huntsman spiders the size of our hands lived in our bathroom. Poisonous redback spiders hung out under the toilet seat. Every morning, I would shake out my clothes so the cockroaches could fall out before I got dressed. For a few weeks, I was convinced I had contracted herpes when bumps started appearing in my nether region, only to discover that bedbugs had shacked up in the teddy bear that I cuddled nightly.

Six- and eight-legged friends weren’t the only creepy-crawlies that came into our home regularly. My roommate with the basement bedroom worked as a call girl, inviting in two-legged pests along with the rest of the vermin.

But when I think back to my time living in the White Castle, I don’t think of the disgusting living conditions. I think of the World Cup. As an American without any athletic ability, I never saw soccer as being anything more than that sport with the cool ball that I would trip over between Gatorade breaks when I was 7. It was a game for children, a training ground for more important future activities, such as Hacky Sack.

I had heard of the World Cup but didn’t really know what it was. It never once had occurred to me that I could watch soccer on television.

And really, why would I? The White Castle changed all that.

Soon after we all moved in, the games began.

As ours was one of the few houses furnished with a television, neighbors from Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and, of course, Australia came over to watch. The energy, the excitement, the heartache — I had never experienced such live-and-die-by fandom. It was intoxicating.

Our castle hummed well into the night, and for once, it wasn’t from the moth wings.

The World Cup brought our home and neighbors together in a way that, I believe, nothing else could. It resulted in an immediate introduction to the differences and similarities in our cultures. The nations would battle it out in our common room as they simultaneously did on the field. There would be screaming, cursing, brooding, cheering, kicking over the upsidedown cups that covered our floors — each with a trapped cockroach inside, as we were attempting to kill them off one by one.

After one particularly heartbreaking missed goal, my German roommate Heinz kicked our wall. The White Castle was built so shoddily that Heinz’s foot went completely through the wall and got stuck on the outside of our house.

From that day forward, we didn’t just have bugs flying in through open windows. We had snakes and rodents crawling in, too. But that didn’t stop a crowd from forming at our castle every evening.

Enemies one night, reconciled friends the next, teaming up to cheer for or against a different country. In the thick, sticky air, you could feel the racing heartbeats. Endless rounds of cold beer provided the only buffer between the heat from outside and the heat from within. All of us together. Winning together. Losing together.

Suffering together. Celebrating together.

The World Cup games became the breeding ground for friendships I still carry with me, a decade after leaving the Land Down Under.

And thanks to that hole Heinz’s foot created, I’m guessing, it became the breeding ground for many other animals, as well.

Perfection is my ultimate goal Sometimes, I’m too hard on myself, and I can’t help it.

I have this overwhelming desire for several things, when it pertains to my job: success, perfection, accuracy, creativity and relevancy. With the exception of perfection (yes, I know that no one is perfect), I don’t think I’m asking too much of myself.

I provided the Daily News’ weekend coverage this past weekend — capturing bloated bodies of water, fireworks, family fun

By Ty Rushing and tracking Daily News Senior tornadoes, oh Staff Writer my, — and Monday’s paper reflected a lot of what I did. Two stories I wrote were published and 14 photos were printed, most of them in color.

Instead of taking solace in having what seemed like a great run at weekend coverage, I can’t get over the little things. I forgot the word “a” in the very first cutline. I misspelled “Chartier” and wrote “put” instead of “putt” in two other cutlines. In one story, I said “less than a year” instead of “slightly more than a year” and in the other story, I wrote “participates” instead of “participate.”

Even worse, I wrote down “Johnson” instead of “Jackson” in my notes and mislabeled someone in a photo.

Already feeling terrible about those mistakes, I noticed that spellcheck changed “guard” to “geurad” in the cutline of one story I wrote on Tuesday. I discovered this only after I returned to the office from yesterday’s Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting and it had already printed.

is a major journalism no-no — to most folks, these seem like silly little mistakes to dwell on. And, yes, most publications have some sort of funky little things like those every day — still, I just can’t get over them. I have this innate desire to become the best at what I do, and when I see ridiculous things like that, it makes me literally grit my teeth.

I don’t have any sort of anxiety disorder, and in spite of that, when I see mistakes like those, it puts me on edge. I get tight in the chest, my body gets restless and I can’t even fathom trying to relax or calm down.

The publisher of this paper, Dan Goetz, even congratulated me for my hard work this weekend, yet, I can’t even enjoy simple successes like producing a majority of Monday’s content because all I can see are the screw ups.

A few months ago, I was reading a detailed feature story on the late, great Bill Walsh. Walsh was the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 1979 to 1988. In that time frame, he won three Super Bowls, six NFC division titles and the NFL coach of year award — twice.

He is considered the father of West Coast Offense, is credited with helping develop Steve Young and Joe Montana — two Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks — and creating a coaching tree that has spawned nearly 30 NFL head coaches since the ’80s.

In 1993, he himself was elected into the hall of fame.

I really wish I could find that article now, but the gist of it is still clear to me: Walsh didn’t really consider himself successful. He knit-picked at every little thing he did. He always realized what he should’ve done or could’ve done better — even after his teams won the game.

Walsh was so adverse to failure and his drive to be a success was

so great, it actually caused him physical health problems.

It’s almost absurd, to me, that a man as accomplished as Bill Walsh had these kind of thoughts.

In 1984, he achieved more in one year than I could ever hope to.

That year, he won both his second Super Bowl trophy and NFL coach of the year award and his team went 15-1.

According to the article I read, none of that mattered to him.

The only thing he was fixated on was that one loss.

I guess you could say to a lesser degree that’s how I am. I could write six stories in one day and they could all come out nearly flawless. During copyediting, however, I’ll fixate on a missed single quotation mark inside of a quote rather than how clean the rest came out or how good the stories were.

My biggest fear in life is failure.

To me, that missed single quotation mark is an issue that could turn what seemed like a promising career into a catastrophe.

A lot of my friends have suggested that I tend to overreact a bit to things like this, but when my name is on something, I want it to be the best product possible.

I hold myself to an unjustly high standard when it comes to work, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

While it may seem impossible, when it’s all said and done, (my vision of my future is that I’m a cheap, still handsome 70-something caffeine addicted editor yelling at a fresh crop of journalists), I want my work to be perfect. In fact, I don’t know if I’ll ever be completely satisfied with something I do.

I know it sounds implausible, even so, we all have to have a dream right?

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Wednesday, July 9, 2014

Young couple’s use of birth control is long past overdue DEAR ABBY: My 19-year-old son has been dating the daughter of one of my friends I’ll call “Mona.”

We didn’t set them up; they met at some parties. Last summer we discovered they were having sex because “Meghan” thought she was pregnant.

Luckily, it turned out she wasn’t.

They broke up but have gotten back together recently.

When I asked Mona if she was putting Meghan on birth control, Mona said that she wouldn’t because “that would be letting her know it’s OK to have sex.” I said, “Better safe than sorry!” and we left it at that.

I let my son use my car last weekend and found an opened box of emergency contraception on the floor. Because my son never answers his phone, I called Meghan and stressed to her that unprotected sex is irresponsible and that they aren’t ready for a baby. I warned her to take precautions and get on birth control, and I helped her to make the arrangements.

Was it wrong to discuss this behind her mother’s back? Should I tell Mona after promising Meghan I wouldn’t say anything? What should I do? — MOM VERSUS FRIEND DEAR MOM: Wrong? You deserve a medal. And you should now have the conversation with your son that you should have had before the first pregnancy scare, stressing to HIM the importance of using condoms not only to protect himself and Meghan from an unplanned pregnancy, but also an STD if she isn’t the only girl he’s having sex with. Girls don’t get pregnant all by themselves.

As to telling your friend Mona, who seems to have the parental in-

sight of an ostrich where her daughter is concerned, keep your promise to Meghan and your lips sealed.

Meghan needs a woman she can confide in, and your friend seems to prefer living in fantasyland rather than giving her daughter the support and guidance she needs.

DEAR ABBY: I live in Colorado.

In my state marijuana is legal now.

What do you think about my inviting my adult children (they are all over 21) and my aging dad to get stoned with me? I think it might stimulate conversation and motivate more family time than we spend together now. What do you think of “family night” with marijuana as a way to improve family unity? — ORIGINAL THINKER IN DENVER DEAR ORIGINAL THINKER: Were you stoned when you wrote this? If not, I think it’s sad that your family would need pot in order to communicate or create family unity.

While I applaud your desire to bring your family together, you can have a good time without inviting “Mary Jane.” And that’s what I’d recommend.

Burton trying to turn luck around

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer In roughly six months time, Jeb Burton has gone from being truck-less to the cusp of the top-10 point standings in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

While the 21-year-old driver certainly would like to be higher in the standings — he finished fifth last season as a rookie — Burton knows he’s in a much better position now than he was last winter.

Burton enters Friday’s American Ethonal 200 at Iowa Speedway 11th in the NCWTS point standings. He’ll take his No. 13 Estes Toyota Tundra around the 7/8 mile oval here in Newton without having to worry about sponsorship, a luxury he hasn’t enjoyed all season.

The Halifax, Va., native gained a fulltime sponsor, Estes Express Lines, in late May after running on a race-by-race basis earlier this season with ThorSport Racing.

That came after he lost 2013 sponsor, Arrowhead, which prevented Turner Scott Motorsports from enlisting him full-time for his second year on the NCWTS. The sponsorship pitfall became official at the end of January, but Burton said it was “right after Christmas when kind of all hell broke loose.”

When asked if he ever worried he wouldn’t be racing this year, Burton said, “Oh, yeah. I didn’t know what was going to happen. It’s all about finding sponsorship,

Burton and I didn’t have it.”

“It just was a nightmare for me and my family,” said Burton, who won a NCWTSbest seven poles last season. “To have all that you need sitting there to go win a championship and then you don’t have it — it wasn’t a whole lot of fun. But Mr. and Mrs. Thorson (owners of ThorSport Racing) called and gave me a chance, and I’m

trying to make the best of it now and hopefully our performances will pick up.”

Burton is now totally focused on turning strong runs into solid finishes on race day, something luck hasn’t always allowed him the fortune of this season.

Burton didn’t finish the UNOH 225 at Kentucky June 26 after running in the top five through the first third of the race. He placed 18th at the Drivin’ for Lineman 200 June 14 after laps inside the top 10.

Jack Hawksworth is cleared to compete at Iowa Speedway Special to the Daily News INDIANAPOLIS — Jack Hawksworth, Verizon IndyCar Series rookie driver, has been cleared to compete in this weekend’s Iowa Corn Indy 300 at Iowa Speedway.

IndyCar announced Tuesday that Hawksworth Hawksworth was cleared

by IndyCar medical director Dr. Michael Olinger to drive in the race presented by DEKALB here in Newton.

Hawksworth was diagnosed with a myocardial contusion suffered in a practice crash July 5 for the Pocono 500 fueled by Sunoco

Hawksworth, 23, of Bradford, England, has three top-10 finishes in his first Verizon IndyCar Series season. The driver and entrant, BHA/BBM with Curb-Agajanian, received half points for the 200-lap race at Pocono Raceway.

Hawksworth and several other of the 22 IndyCar drivers competing in this weekend’s Iowa Corn Indy 300 will be profiled in the Newton Daily News Thursday and Friday.

Practice and qualifying laps for the IndyCar race are Friday. The Iowa Corn Indy 300 is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Iowa Speedway.

Area softball playoffs Gilson’s grand slam leads PCM over Davis County

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe turned an early-inning scare into an early exit for Davis County from the Class 3A playoffs Tuesday night.

Patience and power helped the Mustangs eliminate Davis County from the District 7 tournament by a score of 15-3 in six innings.

PCM clean-up hitter Abigail Gilson delivered a crushing blow in the form of a fourth-inning grand slam that gave her team the lead for good.

“It kind of just changed the game for us,” PCM head coach Whitney Plein said.

Drivers carry on 50-year tradition of strong dirt track racing at Marshalltown Special to the Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Racing fans have watched some of the best dirt-track stock car racing at Marshalltown Speedway since Aug. 17, 1964. The Speedway celebrated its 50th anniversary with six actionpacked feature races and Fourth of July fireworks display.

David Moorman, Charlie Brown, Eric Stanton, Clint Luellen, Dave Atcher and Luke Wanninger captured victories on the track on July 4.

Moorman pushed to the front of the IMCA Sport Compacts feature early. He led the full eight-lap race.

John Gill, Zach Brenner and Alec Gill went second, third and fourth, respectively. Aaron Miller experienced troubles and was unable to make the feature.

Charlie Brown wrestled the lead away from Eric Hendrickson in the Mod Lites 15-lap feature. Hendrickson had the lead early until a caution flag bunched the field up and Brown made his move to the front on Lap 12. Brown won his fourth feature race of the season at Marshalltown.

Jimmy May, Hendrickson, Mike Morrill and Josh may rounded out the top five.

Stanton claimed his third win in the IMCA Hobby Stocks division at Marshalltown. Following a wreck involving Brice Udelhoven, Stanton used the restart to get past Clint Nelson for the lead. Eric Larson ran second followed by John Watson, Nathan Ballard and Justin Lichty.

The Big Eight Tyre Center IMCA Northern SportMods 18-lap feature race had Jenae Gustin running out front with only four laps to go.

Gustin’s card developed mechanical problems on Lap 14 ending her night on the track. Clint Luellen raced to the front and stayed there for the victory. Andy Tierman challenged but settled for second place. Tony Olson finished third followed by Sam Wieben and Brett Lowry.

Atcher weathered several caution flags and a strong challenge by Donavon Smith the final eight laps to win the IMCA Stock Cars’ 18-lap feature race. It was Atcher’s first win since May 20, 2009 when he won the stock car feature during the USMTS Special and his first IMCA win since June 23, 2006 at Marshalltown.

Smith finished second with Trent Murphy, Michael Jaennette and Jay Schmidt in third through fifth.

The IMCA Modifieds 20-lap race was the final feature race of the night.

Luke Wanninger was the third — and final — leader in the race. Wanninger drove past Tyler Droste on Lap 11 and won his fourth race at Marshalltown. Rookie Eric Elliott led early until Elliott’s car tangled up with Scott Simatovich’s car on Lap 7.

Ronn Lauritzen worked his way up to finish second. Droste was third, Tony Snyder was fourth and Joel Rust was fifth.

Following the racing action, fans

were treated to a July Fourth fireworks display. Fans also enjoy Marshalltown Speedway 50th Anniversary activities through the evening.

Friday night is Casey’s General Stores and Racers Against ALS Night at the Central Iowa Fair.

Youngsters will also take to the high banks in the annual Kids Bike Races.

Hot laps at 6:44 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m.

Sophomore Brady Stover threw a no-hitter Monday night against Colfax-Mingo.

Pella shuts out PCM PELLA — Little Dutch senior pitcher Ethan Butler threw a complete-game four hitter en route to Pella’s 8-0 win against Prairie City-Monroe Tuesday night.

The four hits Butler gave up were the fewest he allowed since allowing four hits June 10.

Pella took a 1-0 lead in the second against PCM starting pitcher Austin Brown and then added seven runs between the fourth and fifth innings.

Mustang clean-up hitter Chase Keuning had two of his team’s four hits. Zach Uhlenhopp and Dillon Bruxvoort also singled in a losing effort.

The loss was the third straight for PCM (11-13).

The Mustangs have scored two runs in that span and have been shut out in three of their last five games.

Lynnville-Sully takes league loss SULLY — Opening the final week of regular-season play, Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team lost 6-1 to visiting Belle Plaine Monday night. The Plainsmen broke open a 1-1 game with a five-run fifth inning and the Hawks couldn’t muster a response.

The teams played three full scoreless innings. Belle Plaine produced a run in the top of the fourth which Lynnville-Sully matched in its half of the inning.

Lynnville-Sully’s Caleb James singled to center field followed by a base hit to right field by T.J. Cunningham. James scored on a sacrifice fly by Daniel Zimmerman.

The loss dropped the Hawks to 10-9 overall. They are 8-9 for seventh in the South Iowa Cedar League standings. They host Iowa Valley in a league game tonight at Sully.

PCM: Fourth inning fuels Mustang W Continued from Page 7A (when I) hit it out, I kind of felt a little more reassured then,” Gilson said. “It was a lot bigger than any other hit I think I’ve ever had.

“Being down was terrible. I was scared. I know we usually pull it through at the end, but I was kind of hoping we’d be more consistent throughout the game. It wasn’t fun being down. We were all really nervous.”

PCM took full advantage of Davis County’s faltering pitching as the game progressed. After Guiter issued only two walks in the first three innings, four Davis County pitchers combined to give up 14 walks from the fourth inning on. Nine of those batters who reached base on a free

pass scored.

PCM totalled six hits, and three of those came off the bat of Gilson. She finished the game with eight RBI after adding a pair of two-RBI singles in the fifth and sixth innings.

She explained after the game she had a feeling something special was going to happen when she stepped into the batter’s box in the fourth inning.

“I knew it was my last time playing at this field and I knew if I wasn’t going to do it then, then I might never do it, and I just got the feeling I was going to hit a grand slam and I did,” Gilson said. “I got in the dugout and everyone was like, ‘We knew you were going to do that. We knew you would hit it over.’ It was pretty thrilling.”

Burton: Sophomore driver looking for strong finish at Iowa Speedway Continued from Page 7A 16 in the closing laps before contact with another truck sent him to the infield grass and a 15th-place finish.

“It’s really frustrating to run there and then make a mistake,” he said.

“Just got to keep going on with it and keeping getting better and learn.”

Burton experiened similar circum-

stances in his first race at Iowa Speedway last season. He was running in the top five until a wreck slowed him to a 26th-place finish.

“I think Iowa is a good track for me,” he said. “We’ve got one decent finish and then the other one didn’t reflect on how we were running. I think at Iowa, we should be able to come here and run in the top five.”

CMB: Raiders advance in playoffs Continued from Page 7A crucial defensive plays, including a double play in the seventh after West Marshall had tied the game.

CMB took a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the second on a series of five singles. West Marshall cut into that

lead by adding two in the fifth.

Hlavacek and Eslinger both had two hits for CMB. Mackenzie Schmitz, Abbey Appelgate, and Veronica Condon also recorded hits in the win.

Heather Jessen pitched all seven innings. Two of the four runs she allowed were unearned.

MLB capsules White Sox 8, Red Sox 3 BOSTON (AP) — Conor Gillaspie hit a tie-breaking, two-run homer in the sixth inning for his third hit of the game and Chicago beat struggling Boston.

Boston lost for the seventh time in eight games as the defending World Series champions remained in last place in the AL East.

The White Sox are 5-1 in their past six games. John Danks (8-6) started with four shutout innings on Tuesday night after Hector Noesi beat Seattle 1-0 on Sunday and Scott Carroll won 4-0 on Monday night when Boston had just two hits.

The White Sox squandered a 3-0 lead when the Red Sox tied it with three runs in the fifth. But Chicago went ahead to stay with two in the sixth and then added three runs in the ninth.

Jose Abreu led off the sixth with

a single against Brandon Workman (1-3) and stayed at first when the next two batters were retired. Then Gillaspie hit a 3-and-2 pitch just inside the pole in right field for his second homer of the season.

Rays 4, Royals 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Evan Longoria drove in two runs, Jeremy Hellickson went 4 1-3 innings in his season debut, and Tampa Bay beat Kansas City.

The Rays opened the sixth with three consecutive hits, including a two-run single by Longoria off Jason Vargas (8-4), to take a 2-1 lead. Vargas, who allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings, was coming off seven innings in the Royals’ 4-0 win Wednesday against Minnesota.

Hellickson, coming back after arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow in January, gave up one run and six hits.

A strong work ethic will come into play in the current cosmic alignment.

The busier you are the luckier you’ll be as the sun and Saturn line up to form a good-fortune portal in the sky. The theme is karma, poetic justice and due rewards!

Good things coming to hard workers will give the sense that all is right in the universe.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 9). Brilliant solutions are born of your mental flexibility. August offers liberation. September and November bring moneymaking opportunities not to be missed.

You’ll sweat and toil first, and later dance and spend — a celebration of your success. Exciting travels will be featured in December and May. Capricorn and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 24, 31, 28 and 16.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The shortcuts you see are safe to take as long as you recognize the toll and are willing to pay it when you get to the tollbooth. If

you think there is no price to pay, think again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You don’t talk to a dog the way you would a child, and you don’t talk to a child the way you would an adult. You have different personas for different situations, and you’ll change modes often today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). A fellow earth sign (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) will shed some light on a problem you’ve been having — but of course any Google search can do that. The impressive part is that the earth sign will then take steps to help you solve it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are on your way to an accomplishment. It’s something small that matters pretty much only to you, but matters it does!

Grand developments are merely a series of small accomplishments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Go ahead and spill that unconventional opinion, and you’ll learn that the others aren’t as far off

point as you might have thought. There’s validation in this, which is nice but not necessary.

ideas will run together; the experiences will combine and blur. At times, you will move as one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Stress will block your ability to think things through in a clearheaded process. Thinking clearly means stressing less. Sit down and take things easy. Relax, even if you have to force yourself to do it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you can’t put your finger on it, but for some reason, you’re feeling better about the way your life is going. The trend will continue in the days to come. A spiritual reconciliation is in the works.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The reason the deaf can dance and even compose is that sound vibrations are experienced in all parts of your body, not just your ears.

Music will bring you joy through and through.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While trying to help a loved one out of a sticky situation, some of the adhesive will rub off on you. It all can be managed if you keep moving. Stay in one place, though, and the glue will dry!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You might disagree, but you don’t disrespect.

That’s why you’ll be chosen for an important mission that will help your group work successfully with a vastly different group.

GEMINI (May 21June 21). Memories are treasures you’ll take out and polish today. Just be aware that taking this trip through your treasure chest will alter the memories and make the past seem shinier than it really was.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your adventures with a loved one will be an experience in fusion. Your

St. Luke UMC VBS to begin July 14

Zach Johnson/Daily News First United Methodist Church Reverend Pastor Gary Marzoff stands next to the welcome sign of First United Methodist Church.

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer The First United Methodist Church in Newton is making the transition from having a contemporary service and a traditional service to one, individual service combining the two services together.

“The worship planning team has been working with both services and its leaders to design a service of worship called ‘Service of Praise and Worship,’ which will give us the chance to come

together as one church to praise and worship the Lord,” First United Methodist Church Reverend Gary Marzolf said. “The new worship will begin at 9 a.m., and 15 minutes prior to service, we invite everyone to come in and enjoy praise songs.”

The service time will start with traditional hymns followed by a time of prayer and conclude with a time of proclaiming God’s word through the Gospel which follows the mission of the First United Methodist Church.

“We’re about making disciples

for Jesus Christ from a transformational world, which is the mission statement for our annual Iowa conference,” Gary said. “Worship is a key component in that, which is done through the events and opportunities in our church.”

The new worship format didn’t change the message of the church in the eyes of Gary.

“It also has a new breath breathed into it, giving us an opportunity to do different things in different ways centered around God’s word through prayer, scripture and proclamation,” he said.

Sacred Heart hosts Family Fun Night Sacred Heart Catholic Church will host a Family Fun Night from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Fred Maytag Pool.

The evening will be-

gin with a potluck at 5:30 p.m. on the upper deck of the pool. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided. Guests are asked to bring a side dish

to share.

The pool party with begin at 7 p.m. Guests can bring their swimsuits, beach towel and flip flops and swim until

9 p.m.
