Colfax-Mingo announces interim superintendent

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo Community Schools has selected former Saydel High School principal and interim superintendent Tracy Hook to lead the district through the next school year.

School board president Skylar Rawlins announced the hire — still pending a full board vote — Thursday.

The C-M board of education offered Hook a one-year contract with a salary and

benefits package totaling $138,000 for the 2015-16 school year.

He was selected over current C-M school board member and Hook retired Mingo Middle School Principal Dr. Becky Maher and retired Bellevue Community Schools Superintendent Mike Healy.

The board is scheduled

to take its official vote on Hook’s contract during its July 20 regular meeting.

Hook will replace former superintendent Mary Lucas, 61, who resigned in June following an early morning drunk driving arrest near Grundy Center on June 18.

Lucas was cited for drunk driving in two other incidents since 1999, once while superintendent of Bettendorf Community Schools and the other while the top administrator at Charles City schools.

Omaha-based superinten-

dent search firm McPherson and Jacobson handled the candidate search for the C-M district — originally hired in April to find Lucas’ permanent replacement. The former superintendent was scheduled to retire at the end of SY 2015-16.

In an interview with the Jasper County Tribune on Friday, Hook said he’s looking forward to guiding the district through the next year and keep it moving beyond the status quo.

Newton race weekend to include ‘LogHoggers’ demonstration Art to be sold Friday, Saturday at KOA campground

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Campers at the Newton KOA campground will be able to see a unique performance artist in action this weekend — and his work will be for sale. R.D. Coonrod will be conducting chainsaw carving of new wood art pieces at the campground Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Coonrod and his wife, Vicki, are bringing their “LogHoggers” brand of carving to Newton just as the Iowa Corn 300 and other race events get set up at the nearby Iowa Speedway. While drivers are getting their machines ready a few miles away, the Coonrods will be setting up to do something they’ve been involved with for 20 years.

R.D. Coonrod has made every type of wildlife, Native American or other symbol of life imaginable with his chainsaw, and he’s set to give race fans and other campground visitors a chance to see how he does his craft.

“We don’t typically sell the carvings,” Vicki Coonrod said.

“But we will this time. Normally, we simply do the carving performance as entertainment.”

An update on the Hometown Rewards Program from Alliant Energy and Black Hills Energy was given by Community Coordinator Jackie Boat at the most recent city council meeting. Boat spoke about what the program has already done and strategies it has to accomplish to accomplish objectives in the future.

“It’s an exciting program. I think we are really enthusiastic about what we can do with money we have gotten through Alliant and Black Hills. It is all about energy conservation and savings for the community,” Boat said.

“So far the program is off to a good start. We have reached more than 1,000 people through events and handed out more than 1,000 LED light bulbs.”

The program is run by a committee of community members who have set up various objectives to achieve energy conservation on a community wide basis.

Those objectives include engaging at least 20 percent of Newton’s population in the program, reducing residential energy consumption by at least 2 percent per year and doubling that amount for government buildings and operations and to engage 25 percent of commercial and industrial customers through energy assessments and rebates.

“Overall, we are just here to aid and prioritize energy efficiency for every day functions and to capitalize of the savings and contribute to the thriving city,” Boat said.

The committee believes the program helps the community as REWARDS | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Hometown Rewards Community Coordinator Jackie Boat gave an update on the program and work that is currently being done to raise awareness of the program in the community and the benefits that come along with becoming more energy efficient.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News With the addition of a third KBA Rapida Press, Walter G. Anderson folding carton manufacturers in Newton is the only company in the world to have three of these presses in operation.

Walter G. Anderson installs third press Only company in the world running three

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Since opening in Newton in 2011, Walter G. Anderson has done nothing but grow. Recently, to keep up with demand, the folding carton manufacturers installed a third KBA Rapida Press becoming the only company in the world to have three of these presses in operation.

“Ever since we opened our facility in Newton in 2011, our KBS Rapida 145 press has become the workhorse producing folding carton work,” President of WGA Marc Anderson said.

“The growth in our company, the requirements of our valued customers and overall market demands precipitated a third press. We needed to increase our capacity and flexibility.”

The press is a 57 inch seven color press with a coater that features a fully automatic plate changer, CleanTronic Synchro

providing simultaneous cleaning of inking rollers, blankets and impression cylinders and includes dedicated package for inking unit drives. It also has ErgoTronic ColorControl for the highest quality printing. It is built in Germany.

Amazing technological ingenuities, the highest run speeds, a redesign of the feeder, new delivery extension and delivery, user-friendliness, the ability preset different options and being environmentally friendly were a few reasons Anderson gave for purchasing the new press.

“Being environmentally friendly allows our company to save on power and decrease our power consumption as well as providing shorter makereadies to reduce waste,” Anderson said.

When WGA came to Newton, it moved into the former Maytag Distribution Center. It was founded in downtown Minneapolis by Walter G. Anderson

and conducted business there before moving headquarters to Hammel, Minn. in the 1980s.

It is a third generation company that is among the most modern folding carton plants in the industry.

When it moved to Newton, it installed one printing press, one die cutter and one gluer. About two and a half years ago, a second press was installed and the latest press rounded out the trio in April.

“Our customers are growing and we go out in the market place and find new customers,” WGA Plant Manager Scot Schalk said.

The company mainly works to produce boxes for food products with a popular item being cereal.

Schalk said about 90 percent of what is shipped out is used for food-related products.

U.S. stocks gained Friday as Greece moved closer to sealing a deal for new loans from its creditors.

European markets also rose sharply. China’s stock market climbed for a second day, reversing course after a monthlong slump.

For Friday — The Dow Jones industrial average rose 211.79 points, or 1.2 percent, to 17,760.41. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 25.31 points, or 1.2 percent, to 2,076.62. The Nasdaq composite climbed 75.30 points, or 1.5 percent, to 4,997.70.

In Brief

Baugh joins Vernon as central region manager Newton Daily News The Vernon Company has announced it has hired Curtis Baugh as its company’s central region manager. Baugh will be responsible for all recruiting, hiring and sales activities in the central third of the United States.

An industry veteran since 1988, Baugh is a graduate of Central College in Pella. He spent the last three years serving in a variety of roles at Newton Manufacturing where his responsibilities included managing sales people and recruiting, among others. Additionally, he has Baugh a wealth of experience in the area of graphic arts and marketing, and owned his own business, Pella Art and Graphics, for 15 years.

Baugh fills a spot recently vacated by Mark Gammon, who was promoted to Business Development Manager. His counterparts are Stephanie Vernon Critchfield in the Western Region and Dale Worden in the Eastern Region.

“We are very excited about the addition of Curtis to the Vernon sales management team,” Vernon National Sales Manager Sharla Elscott said. “Curtis has everything we were looking for in a regional manager. His enthusiasm and industry experience will enable him to fit in very well into Vernon’s corporate culture and within the Central Region, specifically.”

US stocks rise on optimism that Greek debt deal will be done NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks logged their best day in two months Friday as Greece appeared to move closer to securing a bailout deal that will enable it to avoid bankruptcy and keep the country in the euro.

Greece and its creditors appeared to be narrowing their differences after Athens offered reform proposals in order to secure a third bailout of around 53 billion euros ($59.5 billion). A final decision could be made on Sunday.

A second day of gains for Chinese stocks also encouraged investors. U.S. stocks had fallen sharply on Wednesday, in part on concern that a monthlong slump in China’s stock market could crimp growth in the world’s second-largest economy.

“This is a giant collective exhaling,” said Kristina Hooper, U.S. investment strategist at Allianz Global Investors.

The Greek deal “is not done, but we’re closer than we have been in a while.”

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 25.31 points, or 1.2 percent, to 2,076.62. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 211.79 points, or 1.2 percent, to 17,760.41. The Nasdaq composite gained 75.30 points, or 1.5 percent, to 4,997.70.

The gains pushed the S&P 500 back into positive territory for the year.

On Friday, stocks in China jumped before the U.S. market opened. China’s Shanghai Composite Index jumped 4.5 percent, paring its losses for the month to 24 percent.

The Chinese market is only recovering after the government intervened heavily and about half of the companies listed in mainland China suspended trading in their stocks.

That’s making some investors cau-

tious.

“The policy makers appear to have some success in stabilizing values, but fifty percent of Chinese stocks are not currently trading,” said Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust.

Back in the U.S., airline stocks rallied after American Airlines, the nation’s largest carrier, signaled that it was cutting back on its growth plans this year amid signs that average fares are declining. American said it expects to increase passenger-carrying capacity by 1 percent this year, down from an earlier forecast of 2 percent. American Airlines rose $1.54, or 3.9 percent, to $41.21. Delta Air Lines jumped $1.91, or 4.7 percent, to $42.46.

Investors also followed a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Friday.

Speaking in Cleveland, Ohio, Yellen said that the Fed is on track to start raising interest rates later this year, but expressed concerns over headwinds that are still holding back the U.S. economy, in particular lingering weakness in the labor market and new potential threats overseas.

David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, said after the speech that he expected the Fed to lift interest rates in September, provided that Greece reaches a deal with its creditors and there were no major financial crises between now and then.

Among the companies reporting are banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, as well as Delta, Netflix and Intel.

A few of the strategies it plans to use include engaging residents by using free energy assessments, energy education and energy saving tools.

The program will also hold energy conservation competitions to courage personal investment and ensure the use of the tools that are provided. A weatherization drive is being planned for the fall and the program also plans to engage landlords, potentially utilizing the crime-free housing meetings.

“The landlords have the capacity to reach a large population of residents at once and they also benefit from the energy saving that the people will incur from using energy savings tools,” Boat said.

The committee plans on having an ongoing presence at community events to keep its message prominent. It will also engage public buildings and monitor their energy consumption with the help of professional consultant. Energy assessments will also be scheduled to find problem areas and address them.

In the commercial and industrial sector, the program plans to engage the fire department and encourage free energy assessments sign ups as a part of regular inspections. Engagement events will take place and are geared towards specific points and incentivizing the leadership in program activities through media spot lights and prizes.

“If we reach out goals within the next two years of the program, Newton will be rewarded with a large energy saving project valued at over $30,000,” Boat said. “Communities in the past have added solar panels for the library, LED street lights and an efficient heating and cooling system for a school.”

She said the program has the potential to leave a lasting impact in the community for many years to come.

To get started, schedule a free home energy evaluation through Black Hills Energy.

“Through the evaluation, Black Hills can tell you what areas you need to focus on in your own home and start making changes in your own life,” Boat said.

Hunter education July 29-30 Newton Daily News

Kate Malott/Daily News Dan Ellis of the Jasper County I Club and other members gave away Iowa Hawkeye posters and schedules for the 2015 football season at Hy-Vee Friday afternoon while informing the community of the upcoming Newton Community Day. Newton Community Day is Sept. 26 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Tickets for the game are $40 for adults and $25 for children.

Loggers Continued from Page 1A The Coonrods also serve as a sort of talent agency for other budding chainsaw sculptors, arranging competitions at county fairs and other events, with prizes awarded to the artists whose creation sells for the highest dollar amount.

The couple is based in the Quincy, Ill. area, and they spends their lives on the road across the Midwest from early June until September each year.

“We cover several states, but we stick fairly close to the Mississippi River,” Vicki said. “We can start

out as early as late June, if we book something real early in the year, and we’ve had a few fall festivals as late as October. You might say we live our lives on vacation, going from fair to fair.”

The youngest of the Coonrods’ children recently graduated from high school, Vicki said, and the couple decided to approach the carving a little differently the past couple of years. That’s when they decided to start adding campgrounds, such as the Newton KOA, to their list of stops.

“We like the hustle and the bustle of fairs, but sometimes, it’s nice to have

The couple are no strangers to events in Iowa.

They’ve been to fairs in Muscatine and Sac counties, and the Great Jones County Fair is one of the bigger events they’ll attend this year.

Start the Press

The grand parade

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | July 13, 2015

The summer after I moved to the community, I learned that Newton is where it’s at for the Fourth of July.

We grabbed the Masons breakfast and then an ideal location along First Avenue, and I was ready to experience my first parade in Newton. The humongous parade took me by surprise, despite the heads up from Newton natives, but I loved it. The kids had a wonderful time collecting candy and waving at the participants while I got my first taste of local festivities.

The sheer number of people lining the streets and the copious amount of participants was a thrill to me, and I loved meeting many new faces.

We spent the next several years celebrating locally with our children and my late mother-in-law — friends, family, parade, barbecues, swimming and fireworks — and that’s

simply become one of our favorite family traditions.

I love celebrating Independence Day in Newton so much I was nearly crushed last year when a family reunion took us out of town. So this year, we made up for it tenfold.

Everyone knows the saying, “it takes a village to raise a child.” Well, the same is true of a parade float.

I’m not sure how we ended up deciding to do a Newton Daily News parade entry, but once it was determined there were many of us that worked hard to make sure it was success. (It was — did you see us?)

However we needed a lot of help — from Jasper Construction for the trailer, Lauterbach for the decorating space, Newton Community Theatre for the props and outfits and a lot of hard work from Michelle Van Kooten, a staff member who is a true artist with a lot

of talent.

Playing on the theme “When I was a Kid,” Michelle created a sketch and painting from the old school Newton Daily News — think reporter with a press hat and a paperboy yelling, “Extra, Extra — Read All About It!” Then, we quite amazingly used real people — reporter Jason W. Brooks and my son — to demonstrate it. They killed it.

Jason tapped away on a seriously old and cool typewriter and my son belted out his “Extra, Extra, …” line to much applause.

There were many coworkers who donated time and energy to work on our entry and many others who brought their families and walked the route with us.

While my husband hauled the float, which was otherwise filled with newspaper staff and

family, our girls helped pass out bottled water and candy. It was a blast.

Unfortunately, I remember seeing exactly none of you.

Last week I spoke to several people who mentioned they yelled at me or tried to get my attention during the parade.

Sorry guys — it’s a complete blur. There’s just no way to take in all of those people and effectively pass out water and candy.

Following the parade, we invited several friends and family members to our place for some of our other favorite traditions — barbecue, swimming, fireworks, etc.

The holiday concluded with a full house and full heart for this girl. Even a week later, I could still use a serious nap.

Eye on America

Wealth gap

Another View

Moments that last a lifetime I treasure the moments in life when I realize that my life as I know it, is changing. Usually it has been big changes, like my sister moving out or the birth of my baby brother. Other times, these moments creep up on me, and it takes a while before I By Savannah truly understand Eadens the impact of the situation. The Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference exposed me to several moments in which I realized I would never be the same person again.

I was ecstatic to be accepted into the program in April, and immediately started counting down the days. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I hoped it would be the highlight of my summer. The program, started by the late Al Neuharth, founder of USA Today, is intended for high school seniors interested in pursuing a career in journalism. It includes an all-expenses paid five-day trip to Washington, D.C., a $1,000 college scholarship and is awarded to one student from every state.

Three weeks before the conference started, we were given a list of the names and photos of all of the other students that were to attend the conference. We promptly found one another on social media — getting to know each other well before the conference.

It was a surreal feeling when I arrived in D.C. Saturday afternoon. When I truly realized the magnitude of the conference was when the whole group went to a live taping of “Meet the Press”

with Chuck Todd. After the news-breaking weekend of the racially-heated massacre at AME church in Charleston, the tensions were high. The program featured the family of one of the victims of the South Carolina shooting, a talk with Mike Huckabee about the confederate flag and a documentary from New York state penitentiary convicts talking about the way holding a gun made them feel.

During the Chuck Todd Q&A session, it fully hit me that I was in D.C., watching as history unfolded before me.

Throughout the conference, it struck me that I was surrounded by some of the most intelligent, motivated and intriguing students in the country. Every seminar we attended was filled with solid questions and thoughtful dialogue. In many ways, the conference erased any and all doubts about becoming journalists. One girl who I befriended, Morgan Heley of North Dakota, was trying to chose between journalism and optometry.

During one of the last sessions, she asked journalists how to decide between the two. Morgan was asked, “which one do you like better?”

The answer — journalism. “Then do it,” they said. In that moment, all of her questions and confusion disappeared.

The group enjoyed moments of unbelievable fun: the excitement of meeting famous people, making life-long friends, dancing aboard a boat on the Potomac River (I’m still the best dancer), playing Cards Against Humanity, competing in an intense game of Karaoke and so many laughs.

I experienced personal moments where I felt the magnitude and emotion of the situation. I was

moved by the pictures in the Pulitzer Prize winning photograph exhibit at the Newseum, a real piece of the Berlin Wall, the greatness of the Vietnam Memorial, the grandeur of the U.S. Capitol, the expansive newsroom at USA Today, a memorial dedicated to journalists who have lost their lives while reporting and the promise of an uncompleted statue dedicated to women who have made history.

The most important lesson I learned was the meaning of ethics and what it takes to be a good journalist. Neuharth had a motto throughout his career: “Get it first, but get it right first.” The realization that the kids I was with every day were the future of the media amazed me. I am part of that future, too. Journalism is not a lost art — it is moving into new outlets and finding new ways to get information to consumers. Given the freedoms of the First Amendment of the US Constitution, people will always demand to be informed. We take for granted the rights of a free society: the freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition. As a nation, our voices can be heard.

I will never forget the lessons and memories of The Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism conference. I hope to have more life-changing moments, but as a journalist, I also hope to report on the world-changing moments, every day, for the rest of my life.

Thanks for changing my life Al Neuharth, and thanks to the 50 other diverse students for reassuring my doubts in the future of the media in this country.

Nearly 10,000 people turned out to hear Bernie Sanders in Wisc on s i n .

Why? Appare n t l y, m a n y Democrats w a n t By John Stossel socialism.

Sanders is the Vermont senator who is running for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

Sanders calls himself a “democratic socialist,” not to be confused with New York City mayor Bill de Blasio’s preferred label, “social democrat,” but both believe that more power and wealth in the hands of government (less in the hands of free people and the free market) is a good thing.

They just don’t want you to think they’re dictators like Stalin. They may institute terrible economic policies, but they’ll have the backing of voters.

More Democrats say they plan to vote for Hillary Clinton, but she’s already sounding more socialist to ward off the Sanders challenge, slamming “corporations making record profits.”

In crucial early-voting state New Hampshire, next door to Sanders’ home state, Sanders polls at 35 percent to Clinton’s 43.

A big reason for Sanders’ appeal is his relentless criticism of America’s wealth gap.

His “solutions” include raising the federal minimum wage to $15, completing the government takeover of healthcare, mandating paid maternity leave, punishing bankers, expanding Social Security and spending more on job training.

We must do these things, he says, because “wealth is centered in the hands of a very few.”

He accuses Republicans of preferring it that way.

That’s a common refrain on the left, and it appeals to many voters.

Some poor people think they’ll be helped by “re-

distribution,” and rich people who don’t understand the process that made them rich want more rules to “level the playing field.”

I wish someone would educate them and ask Clinton, “What’s wrong with ‘record profits’? What do you think happens to that money?

Greedy executives just sit on it? No! Profit is reinvested in ways that make all of us better off!”

Libertarians and real free-marketers agree that too few people are rich but understand that today it’s largely because of government.

The minimum wage laws that Sanders likes decrease the odds that people on the bottom rung will get hired and learn the basics of being a good employee. Other laws make it harder for them to move up.

Today’s thicket of regulations means entrepreneurs must hire lawyers and “fixers” to get anything done, and those middlemen cost money. Not a big problem if you’re already rich, but a big obstacle if you’re just starting out, or trying to expand a small business.

Requiring paid maternity leave makes companies even more wary of hiring young women. The law forbids such discrimination, of course, but bosses just give some other reason for not choosing female applicants.

That same unintended consequence happened with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the well-intended law supported by Democrats and Republicans meant to help more disabled people enter the workforce. But fewerdisabled people work now that the law is in effect. Fifty-one percent held jobs when the law passed; now only 32 percent do.

Greece “protects” workers by banning parttime work and banning working more than five days a week. You’d think American socialists would learn something watching Greece fail.

But, no, they never learn.

Couple deep in tax hole need help in climbing out

DEAR ABBY: I have just learned that my sister’s husband of 35 years (I’ll call him George) hasn’t filed their personal income taxes going back a number of years. This has caused a lot of stress and anxiety for my sister, who recently underwent breast cancer treatment. Apparently, he hasn’t filed because of his inability to organize. (His family has denial issues.)

Their professional tax preparer has met with both of them and tried to work out a step-by-step program, but George consistently fails to meet the deadlines. I love my sister and want to be as supportive as possible, but I’m unsure what I can do. I have advised her to seek therapy. She has copies of business-related documents relating to the unfiled tax periods, but not enough information to file on her own.

On top of everything else, she has several relationship issues with her children that are causing her grief.

What else can I do? — HELPLESS BIG BROTHER DEAR BROTHER: Failure to file one’s taxes is a federal crime that could land your brother-in-law and sister in the slammer. That’s why you should urge your sister to do something she should have done years ago — take over the family finances.

She and her husband may need more help than their CPA has been able to give them. A group that I have mentioned in my column before is the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA). These are tax specialists — some of whom are attorneys and CPAs — who are SPECIFICALLY licensed by the Department of the Treasury. Tell your sister to contact an enrolled agent by visiting www.naea. org. TODAY. DEAR ABBY: I recently moved in with my boyfriend, “Teddy.” We are both in our 20s. Five years ago, he married his high school sweetheart.

Two years later, she cheated on him and left. Teddy and I have talked about the situation countless times. I know he doesn’t love her anymore and cares

for me a lot.

Abby, I lose sleep over their relationship. I can’t stop thinking about how she left him — not the other way around — and if he hadn’t caught her cheating they would still be together.

I Google her to see if I can find out anything about them. I check her social media sites multiple times a day. I know I’m being ridiculous, but I’m obsessed with her!

Teddy is such a caring man, he tells me everything I want to know, but my obsession with her and their relationship is starting to get to him. I don’t want to lose him, but at the same time I wonder if I will have to leave because I can’t get over their marriage. What should I do? — OBSESSED IN OHIO DEAR OBSESSED: There’s an old saying that applies to your situation: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Your boyfriend’s ex didn’t recognize what a prize she had, fouled the nest and threw him away. How lucky for you that she did.

I can understand your being curious about her; what I can’t understand is your compulsion to stalk her online.

What she’s doing these days has no effect on you or your relationship with Teddy. If you keep this up, you will drive him away. If you can’t stop, find a licensed mental health professional who can give you the tools to overcome your insecurity. It will be money well spent.

1 Iowa public universities could see mid-year tuition hike

IOWA CITY— Students at Iowa’s three public universities could see an unusual mid-year tuition hike if the Iowa Board of Regents approves an increase for the upcoming spring semester. Late last year, the Iowa Board of Regents approved a freeze on tuition rates for the third consecutive year.

But a state funding shortfall could lead to the mid-year increase. The board agreed to the tuition freeze this year with the understanding that their request for a 1.75 percent increase in state funding would be approved.

Family hosts rally for man shot to death in Davenport DAVENPORT — Family members of a Davenport man who was fatally shot are working to keep his case in the public eye.

Relatives of Justin J. McBridge held a vigil Saturday to mark the six-month anniversary of the day he was found dead in his apartment of a gunshot wound to the chest.

His mother, Marilyn Mallett of Little Rock, Ark., said she hopes the vigil touches the heart of someone who may know something.

fish kill in northern Iowa pond

MASON CITY — Fish are dying in a northern Iowa pond because of low oxygen levels caused by an algae bloom.

Oxygen-deprived fish were spotted Friday at Black Pit, a 16-acre pond in Lester Milligan Park in Mason City. Dead fish were also found Saturday.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources spokesman Kevin Baskins says more fish were likely to be found Sunday as oxygen levels dropped overnight. Officials don’t know if Black Pit will recover on its own or need restocking.

Excavating company sues Dubuque for nearly $1 million DUBUQUE— An excavating company has sued the city of Dubuque, seeking nearly $1 million for work it says it performed in 2010 on the city’s waste pollution control plant.

The company says city officials demanded it perform work outside not covered under the general contractor’s agreement.

Housing development planned for Des Moines DES MOINES — A lot north of downtown Des Moines that’s been vacant for year is expected to be the site of a new housing development. A $5 million project is planned for the lot at 6th Street and Forest Avenue.

The designs for the three-story apartment building show layouts for 30-units of oneand two-bedroom housing. Private developer Jack Hatch said his agency is applying for state housing tax credits.

Motorcyclists commemorate death of eastern Iowa cousins EVANSDALE (AP) — Motorcyclists have rallied in an eastern Iowa town to honor two cousins who were abducted and killed three years ago.

The third annual “Memorial Ride and Drive for the Girls” drew supporters Saturday to mark the anniversary of the day 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins were taken.

The Evansdale girls disappeared on July 13, 2012, sparked a massive search that ended tragically when their bodies were discovered on Dec. 5, 2012, in Bremer County.

Elizabeth’s parents, Drew and Heather Collins, said they’re grateful for the continued community support and ride organizers.

“It just goes to show how much our community still wants justice and still supports our family,” Heather Collins said. “This hurt them also. It didn’t just affect our family. It affected the whole community and surrounding communities.”

More than 125 cyclists and others in cars left on a 155-mile ride from Lofty’s Lounge in Evansdale and ended at the National Cattle Congress grounds in Waterloo for live music.

Proceeds from registration and raffle tickets will benefit Cedar Valley Crime Stoppers and Angels Memorial Park at Meyers Lake. Crime Stoppers still has a $20,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the girls’ killer.

But Heather Collins said the ride is also important to raise awareness about the more than 2,000 kids reported missing in the U.S. each day.

Backyard updates coming to Iowa governor’s mansion The Associated Press DES MOINES — The backyard of Iowa’s historic governor’s mansion in Des Moines is set to get a major facelift, with a new reflecting pool and vintage style greenhouse.

Both projects will be privately funded and the goal is to complete them by next summer, when Des Moines will be the host city for a meeting of the National Governor’s Association, said Jeff Boeyink, a former chief of staff to Gov. Terry Branstad who heads up a fundraising effort for the mansion, called Terrace Hill.

“We decided we should do something special at the house,” said Boeyink, who added that when updating the pool was suggested: “it was one of those ideas when a light bulb went off.”

The project will convert a 1920s swimming pool that was filled in with sand and topsoil over ten years ago into a decorative shallow reflecting pool.

Boeyink said that restoring the

pool for swimming use was rejected due to concerns about liability and maintenance costs.

The design firm Confluence, a Midwestern company with a Des Moines office, won the bid to do the design.

Rebuilding a version of a greenhouse that was in the garden during a similar time period is also part of the plan, though Boeyink said that project will come after the pool rehabilitation. He said the combined cost for both projects would come in at under $1 million and that between $200,000 and $300,000 has already been committed.

“It’s going to add a lot of beauty to the property,” said Monty Lovell, the longtime caretaker of the grounds and gardens at Terrace Hill.

These improvements come after several years of work on the historic home. A new kitchen, updated restrooms and an energy-efficient heating and cooling system are among the recent updates. Boeyink said over $1.5 million has been

raised and spent on those projects already.

Private money is used at Terrace Hill for many improvements. The state budget will provide about $500,000 in the current fiscal year for upkeep and staffing at the mansion, on a hill just west of downtown.

Terrace Hill was built in the late 1860s by Iowa’s first millionaire, Benjamin Allen. He outfitted the Second Empire style mansion with ornate decor and modern conveniences, such as an elevator and gas lights.

When Allen fell on hard financial times, he sold the mansion to wealthy businessman Fredrick Hubbell, whose family kept the home until it was donated to the state in 1971.

Four governors have lived in Terrace Hill. Gov. Terry Branstad, who served as governor from 1983 to 1999 and then returned to office in 2011, is on his second stint in the home.

The family’s private residence is on the third floor, while the first two floors are open to the public for tours.

Hearing scheduled over access to files in Iowa woman’s death BURLINGTON (AP) — The Iowa Public Information Board is expected to determine whether an investigation into the fatal police shooting of a Burlington woman should be made public.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Activity Helps Heart Rhythms Atrial fibrillation (AFib), irregular heart rhythms, can cause poor blood flow and lead to blood clots, which in turn raises the risk of stroke. AFib can be a fluttering, quivering heart rate, palpitations, thumping in the chest or even the skipping of beats. A new study suggests that staying active may help reduce the risk of developing AFib. In the study, women who walked briskly for at least 3 hours per week or did some equivalent form of exercise had a 10% lower risk of AFib than those who were sedentary. The risk was also higher in overweight and obese women than in normal-weight women.

Women who were both obese and sedentary had a 44% greater risk.

Cardinals’ season ends in 4A regional semifinal

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — Battling to the final out, Newton High’s Cardinals did not concede Saturday’s Class 4A regional softball semifinal to Norwalk’s Warriors. The Cardinals trailed the seventh-ranked Warriors 6-1 going into the bottom of the seventh inning.

Junior center fielder Kari Adams opened the inning with a triple to right field against Warrior pitcher Taylor Goode. Fran Lucas, junior second baseman, put down a sacrifice bunt driving in the run and reaching on an errant throw by the Warriors.

Newton kept coming as junior shortstop Sydney Jenkins, who was 3-for-4 in the game, delivered a single to right field. The Warriors took a timeout to discuss the situation with Cardinal runners at first and second and no outs.

Freshman right fielder Karley Leiker grounded out, moving the runners up.

Goode notched her eighth strikeout of the game, fanning Newton freshman first baseman Taylor Ryan.

The Cardinals’ eighth-grade pitcher and clean-up hitter Peyton Maher stepped up to the plate. It was 6-2. Maher had two singles on the night.

Maher made solid contact with a Goode pitch and sent the ball hard to center field.

Norwalk’s Miranda Hughes settled under it and caught the ball for the final out.

“We don’t give up,” Adams said after the game. “That’s how its been all season. We’ve seen so much improvement this season as we grew as a team. We have everybody coming back, so I’m excited about my senior season.”

Newton won the coin toss and was the home team at Norwalk. The Cardinals got on the scoreboard in the first inning.

Jenkins singled to right field and stole second base.

Maher ripped an RBI base hit to center field.

Norwalk tied the game at 1-1 in the second inning.

With two gone, Hughes doubled and came home on an error by sophomore Bailey Davis in left field.

The Warriors added two runs in the third. It could have been more, but Jenkins turned a grounder into a fielder’s choice, tagging Norwalk’s Alyx Witt out going from second to third.

In the fourth, Hughes reached on an error by Jenkins at shortstop. Ryan made a diving catch of a short bunt Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News in the air by Stogdill for the Newton High shortstop Sydney Jenkins tags out Norwalk’s Alyx Witt sliding into third base behind Newton

Hawks rally in final at-bat to reach 1A regional final

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Something had to give Friday night.

Two teams were out to keep on track to reach the 2015 Iowa Class 1A State

CMB exacts revenge on second-ranked Rockets

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News EDDYVILLE — Junior Payge Jurgens remained red-hot at the plate, and sophomore Abbey Kahler was solid in the circle again as Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s softball team got redemption against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont during a Class 2A Region 6 semifinal on Friday night.

The second-ranked Rockets eliminated No. 13 CMB 3-1 in the same round last year, but the Raiders jumped out to an early lead and pulled off the upset on the road in the latest meeting against the 2014 2A runner-ups.

Jurgens blasted a two-run home run in a four-run fifth inning for CMB as the Raiders led 6-0 before holding on for the 6-3 win.

“This was one of the best wins in program history,” CMB coach Troy Houge said after

his team advanced to Monday’s regional final.

T h e R aiders’ 20th win of Jurgens the season was easily their biggest victory of the year to date.

CMB has won nine of its last 10 games, too.

Jurgens went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs to lead the offense.

Kahler had two hits, one walk and an RBI. Mikayla Eslinger doubled twice and Megan Ritter, Abbey Appelgate, Harlie Durr and Avery Hlavacek each had one hit.

CMB had a few chances it didn’t cash in on early, getting doubled up in the second and getting thrown out at home in the third.

But the Raiders (2014) broke through in the RAIDERS | 8B

their final out to win the game without going extra innings.

“Kasiah is a tough out at the plate and on the base paths. She runs hard and fast on the bases. She got the walk and did what she does,” said Stacey Alberts, Lynn-

ville-Sully head coach.

Junior Kasiah Ehresman worked a walk against Blue Devil ace pitcher Riley Verwers. Ehresman, who leads the Hawks in stolen bases, swiped her 53rd of the season and ended up on third base be-

cause of an errant throw.

Sophomore Lizzy Van Manen, who is second on the team in RBIs, blasted a pitch to left field for a walk-off RBI single. Manen has driven in HAWKS | 3B

PCM outlasts Lady Jays, advances to second straight 3A regional title game

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BONDURANT — Prairie City-Monroe senior Molly Vignovich missed out on the Mustangs’ run to the regional championship game due to an injury last season.

But the PCM senior is making up for lost time during this season’s run.

Vignovich drove in the winning run in the top of the eighth inning and then made a game-saving and game-ending diving catch in the bottom half of the frame and both plays turned out to be the difference in the Mustangs’ 5-4, eight-inning triumph over defending Class 3A runner-up Bondurant-Farrar during a 3A Region 5 semifinal on Friday night.

The game-winning RBI was Vignovich’s only hit of the game but it came in the biggest moment. And her diving catch in foul territory to end the game came with the tying run on first base.

“It was awesome. I am on cloud nine right now,” Vignovich said after the game. “This is phenomenal. You always have to give 110 percent because, like last year when I broke my hand, you never know when your last Troy Hyde/Daily News game is your last game.”

Spieth beats Gillis in playoff, wins JDC SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Jordan Spieth beat Tom Gillis on the second hole of a playoff to win the John Deere Classic on Sunday for his fourth victory of the season.

The 46-year-old Gillis, who was attempting to become the oldest first-time winner on the PGA Tour in 20 years, sent an approach into the water. Spieth made par for his second win at TPC Deere Run in three years.

Now Spieth heads to the British Open in search of his third consecutive major championship. He is the first golfer to win four times before the Open Championship since Tiger Woods in 2000.

Spieth and Gillis both finished the final round at 20-under 264.

Zach Johnson and Danny Lee tied for third at 19 under.

After shooting a career-best 10 under Saturday, Spieth entered the final round with a two-shot lead. But the field caught up to Spieth when he turned in a pedestrian front nine.

Spieth bogeyed two of his first three holes and was soon passed by the likes of Gillis and Johnson. Spieth was even at the turn and two shots back of Gillis, who in 171 previous PGA Tour starts had only finished in the top three twice.

Spieth’s low point was a bogey on the par4 11th hole after a putt from the fringe went left.

But Gillis played his final six holes at even par.

Spieth roared back into contention with four birdies in five holes, including a 21-foot chip from the fringe on No. 16.

Spieth had a 30-foot putt for the win on No. 18, but he pushed it left.

He nearly won on the first hole of the playoff, but his 33-foot try lipped out.

Defense, teamwork leads CMB to district win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OGDEN — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s baseball coach Max Seeman has preached teamwork all season long.

And on Saturday, teamwork came into play during the fifth-seeded Raiders’ Class 1A District 14 quarterfinal game against fourth-seeded Madrid.

Junior Brady Stover helped senior starting pitcher Seth Balke get out of a jam in the second inning with a double play catch and throw home from center field, and Balke returned the favor to Stover with a diving catch on a suicide squeeze attempt in the sixth inning of a tie game that wound up saving the game for the Raiders.

CMB used the momentum from Balke’s diving double play to plate two runs in the seventh and Stover held off the Tigers with a 1-2-3 bottom half during a 5-3 victory.

“This game exemplified what good teamwork can do for you,” CMB coach Max Seeman said. “Our defense has to be huge for us. The offense

is starting to come together, but the defense definitely kept us in this game.”

The Raiders (9-14) take a three-game win streak into Tuesday’s District 14 semifinal against top-seeded Ogden.

That game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Ogden.

The other semifinal in Ogden on Tuesday is third-seeded North Polk and second-seeded Woodward-Granger. North Polk defeated Woodward Academy 8-6 to advance.

CMB defeated Madrid 10-0 in five innings just three days before Saturday’s

nerve-wracking triumph.

“This was a completely different team that we saw three days ago,” Seeman said. “They booted it around for us at their place but they made plays today.”

Tigerhawk baseball advances past HLV with ease

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Jimmy Camp and Gabe Simpson each had two hits and Jonathan Jacobs allowed only one hit over the last three innings during the Colfax-Mingo baseball team’s 14-4, five-inning win over HLV in Class 1A District 11 play on Saturday.

Camp accounted for three RBIs, while Simpson scored

three times, walked once and stole four bases.

Zarek Hill added one hit, two walks, three runs and three stolen bases as the Simpson fourth-seeded Tigerhawks advanced to Tuesday’s district quarterfinal against top-seed-

ed and host BGM. Colin Lourens started on the mound for Colfax-Mingo, but he lasted only 1 1/3 innings after surrendering two early runs. Jacobs balked in a pair of runs in the second but settled down to strike out six and walk none over the final three innings.

HLV finished its season at 0-23.

Colfax-Mingo (5-23) has won three straight games. It

will face a BGM (19-9) squad that’s currently on a seven-game win streak.

Tuesday’s district game begins at 7 p.m. The other quarterfinal in Brooklyn on Monday pits second-seeded Montezuma against third-seeded Belle Plaine at 5 p.m.

Mustangs: Face top-ranked Spartans in regional final Monday Continued from Page 1B The Mustangs (23-10) have won five straight games. If they are to make it six straight and clinch a spot in the 3A state tournament field, the Mustangs will have to upset No. 1 ranked Solon, which has won nine in a row and 26 of its last 27.

It is the second straight regional final for PCM, which lost 6-4 to West Burlington last year.

Monday’s regional final will be the second game of a doubleheader in Grinnell. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

“I am on cloud nine right now. I’ll come down later and we’ll figure out a plan for the next round, but I am feeling pretty good, and they should feel good, too. It’s their win and they should enjoy it,” PCM coach Whitney Plein said. “We’ll go in and play the same game we have always played, try to make adjustments when we need to and just do what we have been doing the last few games.”

PCM managed only six hits against Bondurant-Farrar starter Emily Wilson during a 3-0 loss on June 6.

Friday, the Mustangs cranked out 12 hits, including four doubles. And Wilson’s second consecutive shutout bid against PCM ended in the first inning.

Vignovich led off the game with a walk and scored when sophomore Jayci Vos laced an RBI double to the fence. Vos scored one batter later when Kayla Jennings ripped an RBI single to the outfield grass.

“We had a good scouting report and our hitting has changed throughout the season,” Plein said. “We made an adjustment since that time and gotten better on our end. We just came out and did what we needed to do.”

Vos had two doubles in the game, while Jennings went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and one run scored. She also earned the win in the circle after relieving

starter Rachel Freland in the fifth inning.

“I struggled at the beginning of the season, but we have done lots of work in the batting cages, and it’s paying off,” Jennings said.

The Lady Jays (17-18) got a run back in the bottom of the first as Joey Kamman hit a lead-off single and then scored on a wild pitch.

It remained 2-1 until Wilson gave Bondurant-Farrar its first lead following a two-run blast to left field. It was Wilson’s 10th home run of the year.

Freland was put back in line for the win when PCM regained the lead in the top of the fifth. Mckenna VanVeen singled to lead off the frame.

She moved up to second on Katie VandeWall’s sacrifice bunt and then Jennings drove her home with a two-out RBI single. Madison Foster made it 4-3 with an RBI double one batter later.

The Lady Jays didn’t go away quietly. With two outs in the sixth, Rachel Tegeler crushed a solo home run to left to tie it.

PCM, which stranded 11 on base, ran into outs in the sixth and seventh inning and that forced the game to go into extra innings.

But in the eighth, Courtney Bridges led off the frame with a double and then her courtesy runner, Darian Drake, came around to score on Vignovich’s RBI hit. The Mustangs left two on base in the inning, but the damage had already been done.

“I was just looking for a good one to hit — a meat ball — and she gave it to me and I just took it up the middle,” Vignovich said.

Jennings got the first two batters in the eighth but the Lady Jays got the winning run on first when No. 8 hitter Lindsey Carter singled.

Tegeler walked to the plate

with a chance to win it, but her foul ball was run down by Vignovich, who laid out and snatched it just before it hit the ground.

“She deserves it. She couldn’t experience this last year, but she has been a true leader for us this year,” Plein said of Vignovich. “She has stepped up in big spots this year, and she made a big catch to win this thing.”

Freland went the first four innings in the circle and allowed three runs on three hits and fanned one while walking three. Jennings (5-1) was the winner after surrendering one run on four hits and striking out three with one walk.

“We were playing it by ear,” Plein said in reference to both Freland and Jennings throwing four innings. “I thought both pitchers did an excellent job for us. They pitched their ‘A’ game and did a great job of keeping them off balance.”

VanVeen also walked once to go with her one hit and one run. Foster doubled and walked once, while Bridges had two hits.

Wilson, who came into the game hitting a team-best .462, hit the two-run home run and walked three times in the loss.

She allowed 12 hits and five earned runs in the circle and had four walks and five strikeouts.

Bondurant-Farrar won the state title in 2013 and was second last year. But the Lady Jays finished one game under .500 in 2015 after losing six of their final seven games.

Solon enters Monday’s regional final against PCM at 38-3 overall.

The Spartans defeated No. 12 Mid-Prairie, 12-2, in their regional semifinal.

Solon, which finished second in 4A last year and sixth in 2013, are outscoring opponents 92-4 during its current nine-game win streak.

score runs. We had runners on and could get that extra hit to bring them in,” said Kristina McNew, who completed her first year as Cardinal head coach. “I just kept encouraging them throughout the game. We seem to really begin hitting the ball by the fifth inning in games.”

Newton had two on and two out in the fifth and in the sixth innings. The Cardinals stranded seven base runners in the game.

“We definitely fight back as a younger team,” Davis said. “Last year we really struggled, but getting to the second round of the playoffs this year is a big boost to our confidence.”

Davis and Jenkins each made position switches this season. Davis went from being an infielder to starting in left field while Jenkins, who was an all-conference catcher, moved to shortstop.

“There was a big difference in me playing in the outfield, but I got settled in there,” Davis said. “It was a season of change with a lot of people playing different positions. It seemed to work out for us.”

Jenkins led the team in hitting for the third season in a row. She hit three singles in Saturday’s regional semifinal.

Maher had two singles. Adams tripled and Fran Lucas singled.

“We’ve improved a lot and I had a lot of fun with this bunch,” Jenkins said. “We never back down and keep fighting to the end. I liked playing short this season. It was different at first not being a part of every play like you are as catcher.

“I think we’re just going to get better. We ended up

around .500 this season. I’m excited about next year,” Jenkins said.

Newton finished the 2015 season at 16-17 overall after going 9-23 in 2014 and 8-26 in 2013. The Cardinals won the Little Hawkeye Conference in 2012 with a 21-11 overall mark and Newton was 17-15 in 2011.

Maher put together an 11-12 varsity campaign as an eighth-grader. She allowed seven hits, walked three and struck out five against Norwalk Saturday. Goode (18-

5), a junior, was the winning pitcher for Norwalk as she gave up seven hits and struck out eight.

“I’ve said from day one right to the end of the season tonight, these girls work so hard in practices and in games.

They’re young, yes, but they have the talent,” McNew said.

“If they keep working like this and believing in themselves, we’re going to go far next year.”

Hawks Continued from Page 1B 42 runs this season and none bigger than the one Friday night.

“Lizzy had a great at-bat. She was down two strikes and did what she does — got the hit we needed,” Alberts said.

Lynnville-Sully knocked off Martensdale-St. Marys with a 5-4 decision to advance to Monday’s Region 6 final at Pleasantville. The Hawks (34-3) take on Murray (27-4) at 7 p.m. Murray upended No. 10 Wayne, 3-2, Friday.

It is the first time in Lynnville-Sully softball history for a win over Martensdale-St. Marys. The Hawks keep their goal of a fourth straight state tournament appearance within reach while snapping a seven-year state tournament appearance streak for the Blue Devils.

“I just went up there trying to do my job. Coach always says, we all have jobs to do,” Ehresman said.

“This was a huge win for us and I’m proud of the whole team. We were nervous coming into the game because Martensdale-St. Marys is a really good team, but we were confident we could play our game.”

Winning the coin toss and being the home team at home was big for the Hawks. They had senior Madison Rasmusson, who confirmed she will be pitching for DMACC in Boone next year, in the circle.

Rasmusson also made it happen on the bases for the Hawks. She beat out a two-out bunt for a single in the first inning, ending up at second on an overthrow by the Blue Devils. Senior Lysandra James blooped an RBI single over third base.

Lynnville-Sully scored three runs in the third inning to gain a 4-0 lead. Ehresman had a bunt single, swiped second base and scored on a double by Van Manen. Rasmusson delivered a sacrifice bunt and Lysandra James drilled a single to left field to drive in a run. Sophomore Brianna Lanser’s double to left scored a run.

The Hawks defense had several big plays in the game. One game in the fourth with two Blue Devils on base and no outs. Van Manen had an errant throw which sent Kaitlyn Schad running to third base. Schad slid past the bag and Lynnville-Sully’s Lanser made a diving tag.

Two ground outs later, Lynnville-Sully still had a 4-0 lead.

Martensdale-St. Marys made a pitching change in the bottom of the fourth inning. Sophomore Kaci Sherwood started for the Blue Devils, but gave way to Verwers at that point. Until Van Manen’s game-winning hit in the seventh, Verwers handled the Hawks’ lineup.

The Blue Devils clawed back into the game with a three-run fifth innings. The inning ended when Lysandra James made a running catch in right center field for the Hawks. Lynnville-Sully led 4-3.

down another Blue Devil hit down the left-field line.

“Lysandra makes a great catch in center and Haley James was all over the place tonight making plays. Our infielders continued to make plays,” Alberts said. “We have 12 players who step up and do their jobs. It was fun to see it happen tonight against a very talented Martensdale-St. Marys team.”

Lynnville-Sully was protecting a one-run lead as the teams reached the seventh inning. Rasmusson worked back from a 2-0 count to get a strikeout, then came a pop-up to Ehresman at second base.

Two outs were in the book.

The Blue Devils battled to get a single by senior Gentry Davidson, who moved to second on a passed ball. Schad doubled to centerfield to drive in the tying run. Senior Kylah Schumacher beat out a bunt for a base hit.

Rasmusson faced junior Jamie Jordan, and it went to a full count — three balls, two strikes. Rasmusson notched her third strikeout of the game to send the game to the bottom of the seventh still tied at 4-all.

Then came the Hawk rally.

“It was pure guts and determination. These girls have played a lot of good competition this season and just wanted it tonight,” Alberts said. “These girls have their eyes set on state and they are determined to get there. Tonight, they took one more step to that goal.”

Rasmusson (34-3) allowed seven hits, walked on and struck out three as the winning pitcher.

“You’re suppose to have fun playing the game and that was my goal for the whole night — to have fun.

I knew it was a big game, but I trusted my teammates to get through it,” Rasmusson said. “When I get down in the count against a batter, I tell myself to come on Madison and just do it.”

Rasmusson said the Hawks would relax after Friday’s win then the game plan for their opponent in the regional title game would be put in place.

“A game like this just helps us get ready for Monday’s game and for state, if we get there. We know every team we face is going to be tough and we have to play well to win,” Rasmusson said.

Van Manen had a single and a double while Lysandra James hit two singles. Lanser doubled. Ehresman and Rasmusson each had a single.

Astrograph

Success comprises about 80 percent effort and 20 percent reward. In a worthy venture, the pure, concentrated sweetness of that 20 percent makes up for all the hard work. As Venus and Saturn square off, this principle is applied most obviously to love. Chemistry and newness are not enough for a successful relationship. Do the work.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 13). The muses are with you this year, and you will use their inspiration to create something that’s beautiful, useful, clever and/or necessary. You’ll employ new skills, and your game just keeps improving through

October. The end of 2015 features focus on a loved one.

Enjoyable work and romance will fill 2016. Aries and Capricorn people are your lucky partners. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 13, 28, 7 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You don’t necessarily have to have much in common with a person to be friends. You can share a friendly feeling and interact in a friendly way without extending the friendship past the natural boundaries.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You have an excellent sensor that homes in on the people you can learn from. Also, it

will be better if you don’t feel the least bit guilty about turning off the people you can’t learn from.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Even though you realize the casual indifference of your own attitude when you click the “like” button on social media, it still feels very good to you when others “like” what you post.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You can’t relate to passivity.

When you see what needs doing, you want to immediately get it done. Be careful, however, not to confuse passivity and inaction. There are benefits to making a conscious choice to wait.

Call Today!! 641-792-5320

or stop by 214 1st Ave. E., Newton LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t underestimate the benefits of a small change. What you can’t cure you can soothe. The most productive thing you can do now is realize that you will never be fully finished -- so you may as well go have some fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No matter how much you give your hobby, it feels like it’s giving you back more. This is the very nature of a hobby, and when it stops giving you more, it is no longer a hobby.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Instead of working with the usual suspects, branch out.

It will invigorate your work.

Including a different cast of characters in your plans will

shoot your professional life in a new direction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s hard to grow with someone if you are growing in different directions. And yet, you may find that, like a vine, you swerve right, come back to center and connect where you least expect it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The moment in which your plan comes together is a thrill, indeed, and yet nowhere as thrilling as the unexpected occurrences that happen when you shred the plan and open yourself up to new input.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Many of the day’s events are isolated and just happen

to occur in the same 24-hour period. So don’t assume that “this” follows “that” unless there is a logical connection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Humor your loved ones. Add their inane requests to your list of things to do. You’ll be surprised how many points you can earn just by being nice to those slightly crazy people around you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You may not prefer to care.

You may say you don’t care.

But when you find yourself thinking about it for days on end, you care. Caring is a sign that you need to act.

In the first game, Newton took full advantage of wild pitches by DCG. The Cardinals claimed a 1-0 lead in the second. Connor Gholson double to right field with one out then moved to third on a wild pitch and scampered home on another wild pitch by DCG’s Nate Osborn.

The Mustangs tied the game on a leadoff home run by Tanner Draisey in the third inning.

Wood walked two and struck out three in the win. Gholson doubled while Wood, Barr, McCormick and Travis each had a single.

Travis walked four batters and struck out three in the loss for Newton. Gholson doubled again.

Drew Stout, Barr and Travis hit a single apiece. The Cardinals left five runners on base.

Hawks win on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — On Senior Night, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks rolled to a 13-3 win over visiting HLV’s Warriors in South Iowa Cedar League baseball action Friday.

The Hawks won in a five-inning contest, keeping the Warriors winless on the season.

Senior Lucas Smith went 3-for-4 with a double and two base hits. Seniors Caleb James and Baker Zegers each scored runs.

James drew two walks and singled and came home once.

Zegers scored twice and walked once.

CMB Continued from Page 2B The Tigers only had four hits against Nate Bishop in that one. Balke allowed four hits in the first two innings in the second meeting, but the Tigers (9-18) failed to cash in on most of their opportunities.

They had three straight singles against Balke in the second, but Stover’s catch and throw home got two quick outs and Madrid was turned away with a pair of runners on base.

The first three Tiger batters reached base in the third as well. Then back-to-back 1-2 putouts by Balke and another groundout to Bishop at shortstop retired Madrid without any damage.

The first Madrid hitter reached with a single in the fourth, but a double play on a bunt attempt to Balke on the mound once again erased the threat.

CMB also stranded several runners on base. The Raiders left five runners on base in the first four innings before cracking the scoreboard in

the top of the fifth.

Creighton Caple and Stover began the frame with back-toback singles and Hunter McWhirter Ritter was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Caple was thrown out at home on the next play, but Stover scored on a wild pitch to make it 1-0.

Brady Kemp gave the Raiders a 2-0 lead with an RBI sacrifice fly and Brad Ritter drove in a third run with an RBI double to the gap in left-center field.

“I have been struggling lately, so it was nice to see some fastballs that were right there inside where I like them,” said Ritter, who had two doubles, one walk, one RBI and a run in his first-ever district game.

The lead was shortlived though as Madrid finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth.

Balke surrendered three runs — one earned — off three

scored on Kahler’s RBI single and Jurgens made it 6-0 with her ninth homer of the year.

The Rockets (30-7) scored two runs in the fifth and another in the sixth, but Kahler (1811) earned the win after fanning six, walking one and allowing two earned runs in seven innings.

“Abbey threw another great game,” Houge said. “(EBF) had seven hits but only two were hit hard.”

doubles and two errors in the frame.

Stover came on in relief and got the Raiders out of the jam with a strikeout.

With the Balke game tied at three, Madrid began the sixth with backto-back walks against Stover.

The junior lefty got a little help when Cole Shannon was thrown at the plate trying to score on Mason Gibson’s single to left. Tucker Maxwell hit Balke on the cutoff and Balke gunned down Gibson at home.

The Tigers were turned away scoreless again when Balke dove for a ball that was bunted down the third-base line, snagged it and then ran back to third to get the final out. Wyatt Smith was running on the pitch and had no chance return to third safely on the suicide squeeze attempt.

“There has been no bigger play for us all year,” Seeman said. “They probably

would have won the game if they converted that. It would have deflated us if they scored there, but the guys were fired up after that and it was good to see. It means they care.”

McWhirter and Ritter credited the team’s defense as a reason for the victory. And Balke’s diving catch definitely pumped up his teammates.

“It was huge. That made a huge difference in us. It put a lot of energy back into our team,” said McWhirter, who singled, walked twice and was hit by a pitch after having three hits and two RBIs against Madrid the first time around.

CMB took advantage of its momentum in the seventh. Ritter began the frame with another double and then Spencer Gauch reached on a bunt single. Ritter scored and Gauch moved to third on a balk and Maxwell made it 5-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly to the grass in center field.

Stover improved to 4-2 on the year when he retired Madrid in order in the seventh.

The final two outs were his 69th and 70th strikeouts of the season.

“Our defense was making plays all night. It kept us in the game and our bats did enough to get the win,” Ritter said. “I am usually gone on a missions trip so I have never been in one of these games.

It’s awesome. It feels great to get the win.”

Gauch had a hit, a walk and was hit by a pitch and Caple singled in the fifth and walked in the sixth to compliment Ritter and McWhirter at the plate.

Madrid (9-18) ended its season with six straight losses.

Seeman doesn’t know who will pitch against Ogden on Tuesday. But he does feel like the Raiders’ best ball is still ahead of them.

“We are starting to hit the ball better so hopefully we can keep that up,” Seeman said. “We have been working on some stuff and things are starting to come together for some of the guys. We are taking advantage when we get guys on base, which wasn’t the case earlier in the year.”
