Pokémon Go takes Newton

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad, left, speaks with Dickerson Mechanical owners George and Kathy Dickerson, right, on Tuesday in the Colfax business’s board room. The Dickersons spoke with the governor about the need to cut red tape and increase incentives for skilled labor apprenticeship programs in Iowa.

Branstad talks apprenticeships, flood recovery on Colfax Stop Dickerson Mechanical hosts skilled labor visit

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — Gov. Terry Branstad toured Dickerson Mechanical, Inc. Tuesday to discuss the Colfax business’s skilled labor training strategies and the strength of the Jasper County company’s recovery from the 2010 floods.

Dickerson Mechanical was one of four stops for the governor Tuesday, which included visits to a tool manufacturer in Peosta, a Des Moines-based heating and cooling company and an Eastern Iowa Community College culinary arts program which provides a handson apprenticeship program.

Each visit was meant to highlight the goals of the governor’s Future Ready Iowa initiative. The program was created after the state was awarded a 2014 grant of up to $170,000 from the National Governors Association to develop strategies to train and educate Iowans on skills desired by employers.

“What we’re trying to do is to coordinate education, workforce development and economic development, especially looking at apprenticeship programs and things that are available in Iowa,” Branstad said. “And how we can encourage more young people to go this direction.”

Dickerson Mechanical reimburses each employee for their apprenticeship training at Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc., or ABC of Iowa — a nonprofit trade association which trains workers in commercial buildings, industrial plants, municipal and public works projects, roads and highways, homes and an array of construction services.

In 2016, the Colfax company will have six apprentices — one in the electrical trade and five in heating. Each apprenticeship lasts four years and electricians will train for 4.5 years. Dickerson said training his own workers is necessary with the low number of available skilled workers

in central Iowa. Dickerson said at present time, Dickerson Mechanical has 21 employees. He hopes to grow but plans to stop at 45 workers.

George and Kathy Dickerson told the governor they’re struggling to find the necessary employees to staff each of their growing number of job sites — including a recently awarded Iowa Department of Transportation project. Kathy Dickerson told Branstad they have joined the Home Base Iowa initiative in an effort to hire more veterans, and George added they would like to diversify their workforce by attracting female plumbers but with little success.

George said Tuesday he has also reached out to local school districts in an effort to secure high school students and graduates who might be interested in apprenticeships or careers as journeymen but has been met with little response.

It’s taken less than a week for the Pokémon Go craze to take over the country, and the phenomenon has definitely reached Newton. Players are searching throughout the city to capture Pokémon, with the added bonus of getting children outdoors and discovering everything Newton has to offer.

“Pokémon Go is a great tool to get kids outside interacting,” parks administrator Nathan Unsworth said.

“It is good, it gets kids outside and doing something new.”

Pokémon Go uses a smartphone’s GPS and camera to detect where and when you are in the game and make virtual creatures appear around you on your phone screen. Players are then able to catch them and

add them to their collection. After capturing a Pokémon character, players are able to train and then battle other players at designated battle sites.

The game allows players to travel around the real world to catch the Pokémon, which in Newton has brought several players out to the parks, courthouse lawn, library and local landmarks including Maytag Park.

Blake Cockerty, 15, was searching through Maytag Park on Tuesday and said he has been playing the game since it first came out.

“This is my first time getting out to play, and I got a few,” Cockerty said.

“Sometimes they come to you at your house but you can find them at parks and near water, there are water types.”

Projects Newton schools registration is online only progressing for Hometown Pride

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Positive progress for the Jasper County Hometown Pride program, including two new grants, was reported to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Allen Tuesday.

Jasper County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Chaz Allen spoke about the grants and work that is being done with the funds received.

“To date we have received almost $60,000 in grants that have come in for different projects whether in Baxter, Monroe, Sully, Colfax or Lynnville,” Allen said.

“We’ve got a lot done.”

Along with a $30,000 in grants from the Prairie Meadows Community Betterment program, Hometown Pride received grants from the Diamond Vogel Paint Iowa Beautiful program for $1,500 and Yo-Ho Tools for $600.

“It’s not just your standard grants they are looking at, they are out looking for everything,” Allen said.

Newton Community School District student registration will all be done online this year — and the deadline to complete that registration is rapidly approaching.

The NCSD brought some components of online registration into use last summer, when about 450 of the district’s 2,800-plus students signed up using a website. This summer, registration for the 20617 school year will be done online only.

The link can be found here: bit.ly/29zkfgY “There are not even forms printed up for us to do paper registration,” said Tina Ross, the district’s director of

Concert set to raise funds for food pantry Diva and the Deacons headlining the event

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Diva and the Deacons are set to headline the Jasper County Food Pantries Concert fundraiser.

Taking the stage the dynamic group will rock the Maytag Bowl starting at 2 p.m. July 24 while helping raise money for local food pantries.

The concert is sponsored by the South Skunk Blues Society and the City of Newton in partnership with the Jasper County Iowa Chapter of Thrivent Financial.

“Blues, rock and soul meets jazz, jam and gospel, with theater, jingles, ragtime and whatever the heck we feel like throwing in,” lead singer Tina Hasse Findlay said about what to expect from the group.

Diva and the Deacons is made up of Findlay along with her husband Brandon and other local and regional musicians who have joined them during the years.

As a duo, trio, quintet or sextet, they say the band is built from a loving devotion to the “kaleidoscope of sounds and styles” that have raise from the places they call home.

The concert serves as a platform to raise money for several local food pantries including the Newton Salvation Army Food Pantry, the PCM Food Pantry, the Colfax-Mingo Food Pantry, the Baxter Food Pantry, and the East Jasper Christian Food Pantry.

Tax-deductible freewill donations will be accepted at the event with $1,294 of the money raised during the campaign matched by Thrivent.

This concert is the latest in a series of concert sponsored by Thrivent in their ongoing efforts to help feed those in need.

In Brief

Sacred Heart to host family fun night Sacred Heart Catholic Church, along with Family Life and Church Life Commissions and Knights of Columbus, will host a Family Fun Night for its congregation from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Maytag Pool in Newton.

A potluck will begin at 5:30 p.m. on the pool balcony. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided.

Guests are asked to bring a side dish to share.

A pool party will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Guests are asked to bring their swimsuit, beach towel, sandals and a snack to share by the pool.

Kellogg UMC to host free barbecue Kellogg United Methodist Church will host a summer barbecue at 6 p.m. Saturday at the church, 417 Second St. in Kellogg.

This free meal of bratwurst, hot dogs, baked beans, chips and cupcakes will be served in the fellowship hall.

For more information, call 641-417-9463.

Submitted Photo Diva and the Deacons will perform at 2 p.m. July 24 at the Maytag Bowl in Newton.

To date, Thrivent has raised more than $26,000 for area food pantries from the annual concerts.

“This year we decided to see if we might be successful at fundraising with a potentially larger audience,” Chapter President Craig Peterson said. “When the Thrivent leadership began to plan for the years fundraiser, it made some sense to see if we could partner with SSBS and raise money at the concert they had arranged to co-sponsor at Maytag Park with the city of Newton.”

Peterson said that he received unanimous support at his monthly SSBS meeting and also received support from the Newton Park Department to

allow the food panty fundraiser to take place.

“We are honored and so pleased to be able to fundraise for the food pantries at this show performed by the soul powerhouse and in readied entertainer Tina Haase Findlay and her band, Diva and the Deacons,” Peterson said.

For those unable to attend, but would like to contribute, send checks payable to Jasper Co. Iowa Chapter of Thrivent and mail care of Duane Quanbeck, 2420 N. 6th Ave E., Newton, Iowa 50208.

Pope taps Chicago archbishop for key bishop advisory panel VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has named Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich to be a member of the powerful Vatican office that vets bishops’ nominations, signaling he wants a key pastoral voice involved in the selection of U.S. church leaders.

Francis in 2014 had hand-picked Cupich to lead the Chicago archdiocese in his first major appointment for the U.S. church. Cupich is a known moderate like Francis and replaced the late Cardinal Francis George, who had been an aggressive defender of orthodoxy.

Cupich now will be a member of the same Vatican advisory board where a staunch American conservative, Cardinal Raymond Burke, sat for years until Francis removed him.

In another sign of Francis’ esteem for Cupich, he tapped him as a special appointee to attend his recent synod on the family.

Noah’s ark of biblical proportions ready to open in Kentucky WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (AP) — A 510-foot-long, $100 million Noah’s ark attraction built by Christians who say the biblical story really happened is ready to open in Kentucky this week.

Since its announcement in 2010, the ark project has rankled opponents who say the attraction will be detrimental to science education and shouldn’t have won state tax incentives.

“I believe this is going to be one of the greatest Christian outreaches of this era in history,” said Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, the ministry that built the ark.

Ham said the massive ark, based on the tale of a man who got an end-ofthe-world warning from God about a massive flood, will stand as proof that the stories of the Bible are true. The group invited media and thousands of supporters for a preview Tuesday, the first glimpse inside the giant, mostly wood structure.

“People are going to come from all over the world,” Ham said to thousands of people in front of the ark.

The ark will open to the public Thursday and Ham’s group has estimated it will draw 2 million visitors in its first year, putting it on par with

atheist group called the Tri-State Freethinkers said the religious theme park will be unlike any other in the nation because of its rejection of science.

“Basically, this boat is a church raising scientifically illiterate children and lying to them about science,” said Jim Helton, who lives about a half-hour from the ark.

Ham said the total cost of the ark surpassed $100 million, a far cry from a few years ago, when fundraising for the boat was sluggish and much larger theme park plans had to be scaled back.

The group says the ark is built based on dimensions in the Bible. Inside are museum-style exhibits: displays of Noah’s family along with rows of cages containing animal replicas, including dinosaurs.

The group believes that God created everything about 6,000 years ago — man, dinosaur and everything else — so dinosaurs still would’ve been around at the time of Noah’s flood.

Scientists say dinosaurs died out about 65 million years before man appeared.

“It’s still a lot of money, but your outlook is way better because now we can see some daylight,” George said. “But we still don’t have any room to make mistakes. ... Our pact together is that we weren’t going to file bankruptcy because we didn’t want to take anybody down. So we have everybody paid back.”

Continued from Page 1A “It’s bad. The demand is so high,” George said in an interview Friday. “We would add five more employees but I can’t get them. We’ve probably interviewed 20 and five of them made it through the first year. The people we get we keep. We’ve never had a layoff, ever. I’m a little concerned.”

Branstad said he, too, has witnessed the skilled worker shortage but praised community college and apprenticeship programs for making progress. The governor stressed Tuesday that more should be done to educate local school districts and parents on options beyond a four-year college degree.

“A lot of parents and schools have an outdated notion of the jobs that are available in industry here in the state of Iowa,” Branstad said.

“There are a lot of good paying jobs here and they don’t have to go into a lot of debt.”

Dickerson also spoke with Branstad about the recovery from the 2010 floods. Dickerson Mechanical experienced $3.5 million in damages of a 10,000 square foot facility during the natural disaster.

The business received state and federal catastrophe loans of roughly $1.7 million to rebuild.

George and Kathy expanded their complex to 12,500 square feet. The Colfax business owners would not release the company’s annual gross revenue, but George did say business activity in recent years has doubled. The Colfax couple thanked Branstad for a

Monroe Table Co. building But George and Kathy’s investments go beyond their employees. With their recent purchase of the historic former Monroe Table Co. building, George and Kathy are taking a bet on their business and investing in Colfax.

“This is a huge project. It’s a little silly that I did this,” he said. “But Kathy’s on board with it so I’m OK.” The former owner put the Monroe Table building up for auction in April with no success. The Dickersons gave the asking price of $225,000 for the 80,000 square foot building and 2-acre property.

The plans for the building are still in progress, but Dickerson Mechanical will retain 5,000 square feet intended for the company’s new sheet metal division which, according to Dickerson, will create two jobs. The remaining 75,000 square feet will be leased.

Dickerson is partitioning the building into 12 suites with communal electric but individual natural gas utilities.

The building will remain the home of Crozier Welding, Inc. — formerly Colfax

Garden Club in Sully.

Additional work by Hometown Pride that is underway includes projects taken on by University of Iowa and Iowa State University students. Students in the UI senior civil engineering program are reaching several trail systems including the Lynnville-Sully recreation trail, Monroe trails and sidewalk network master plan and the Monroe to Mitchellville rail trail development.

Welding. Dickerson is also in negotiations to bring back a second company which works with railroad cranes and once occupied a portion of the building. A third local business, which Dickerson is not ready to disclose, has also showed interest.

For Dickerson, the Monroe Table building acquisition is as much about local economic development as it is about profits. George said insurance payments for the property are high due to its blighted condition, and his aim is for the majority of leasers to be local companies.

“My goal with this is to have some local people in here. It’s not all about the money for me, if I can rent it to make the payments and insurance,” Dickerson said.

Walk into the Monroe Table complex now and the situation looks a lot more tidy.

Dickerson had four employees spend eight weeks clear-

A building which stored hazardous materials was demolished and the contents were properly mitigated. The last load of hazardous materials sat on a pallet Friday waiting for removal.

Dickerson is working with MidAmerican Energy for an LED lighting incentive program and to split the natural gas. The building’s electrical has been brought back to code. They also plan to repair the existing docks on the building’s rear. To control rain water, Dickerson will install a valve and retention pit to pump out overflow.

originally constructed around 1924, it’s easy to tell George is proud of the progress that’s already been made.

“We spent two weeks cleaning this room,” George said. “It had 100 years of stuff just nailed up there and accumulating, and so much stuff that didn’t need to be there ... I have a company coming in a few weeks to bleach all the floors. Because I want to make sure we get all the flood residue out of here, but we’re ready now.”

The next set is to find additional funding for repairs.

Dickerson has approached Colfax Main Street to apply for the annual $75,000 Main Street Challenge Grant. Colfax Main Street Director Rebecca Evans said during Branstad’s visit that representatives from Main Street Iowa were scheduled to meet with the Dickersons on Wednesday. George hopes to move forward with a historic preservation study of the building.

The grant requires a match, and although Dickerson said “I’ll struggle a little bit,” he’s confident he’ll find the funds.

Dickerson hopes to employ an Amish crew to replace the ceiling’s wooden beams with historical dimensions and materials. Dickerson estimates the roof repair will cost $150,000. He already has pricing to replace the widows facing Walnut Street.

“We’re going to try to pressure wash all the inside brick,” he said while pointing at the aging red and gray blocks.

“We’re going to try it soon and save all the old brick. I think I can. It’s not too soft yet.”

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

eviewing a recent list of huge multi-year, free-agent contracts recently signed by overrated NBA players, I got all the way down to about the 10th guy on the list — Dwight Howard — before I spotted a name I recognized. There is a ton of money mortgaged to some very average, specialized talent in the league, and it isn’t clear how long the league can hold together at its current financial pace.

The New Jersey Nets — reportedly one of nine teams to lose money during the 2013-14 season — lost a whopping $144 million. That’s only about $30 million more than the luxury-tax limit the NBA imposed upon teams for 2016-17, and there is no end in sight until teams actually start to either fold or declare bankruptcy.

The hypocrisy and greed and big busi-

ness of the NBA seemed to have reached a apex before, and labor disputes have emphasized the volatility of pro sports outspending itself. There is plenty of blame to go around. Greedy agents, players who only negotiate with “more” on their minds and somewhat-honest businessman owners are all part of a league that shows little leadership in teaching youth about fiscal responsibility.

Al Horford had some good numbers in his nine seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, supposedly justifying his recent four-year free-agent agreement with the Boston Celtics for $113 million. The case could be made the Celtics, one of the richest and most mystiqued teams in American pro sports, are simply making Horford a major player by paying him the going rate in the league.

However, not only are Horford and other NBA stars and semi-stars begin-

ning to earn some really tremendous deals (Iowa native Harrison Barnes is getting about $23.5 million per season of his new four-year Dallas contract after not really improving his numbers this past season, and Kevin Durant and Dwayne Wade have jumped to already talent-laden teams), but mediocre players are being paid unjustified portions of team payrolls.

Not only will there be a handful of teams stocked with superstars next year, but the amount of average players making superstar money will also increase. Horford won’t even be the highest-paid employee of the Boston Celtics in 2016-17; barely-a-starter Amir Johnson will make $12 million in the second year of a twoyear deal.

The owners can’t collude to reduce salaries. Even their attempts to show they’re losing money get dragged into court. So while rich white men (owners are overwhelmingly white, male and often older than 50) might be out of touch, the incentive for them to cross obstacles and level off salaries and ticket prices is minimal at best.

The league is no help. The recent

semi-permanent ban from the league of repeat league rules offender O.J. Mayo is one of the few times the league took a stand. Adam Silver’s legacy as commissioner will come from how often he can boot guys like Ron Artest, and not let them simply change their name, re-negotiate and re-leverage and then watch him celebrate and say ridiculous things on TV as a world champion.

Players know it’s all a pyramid scheme in both the long-term sense, as no business model lasts forever, and the legs of their career are only as good as players’ legs, knees and ankles. The time to earn their money is short.

What does all this mean? Money and agents and lawyers run everything at the top level, and since everything trickles down, average citizens have less purchasing and economic power than ever. Aside from not attending NBA games — something fans in most NBA cities have mostly shown unwilling to do — there is little fans can do but watch the money train simply grind to a halt or crash.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Hillary Clinton: Too big to jail Last week America celebrated the 240th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which condemned King George III for “(obstructing) the Administration of Justice.” The next day the American left celebrated as the federal government obstructed the administration of justice on behalf of one of its ruling families, the Clintons.

Meanwhile the attorney general of the United States met with former President Bill Clinton, whose wife and foundation were under FBI investigation. They both insisted nothing untoward happened. Days later The New York Times reported that Hillary Clinton might offer Lynch a position in her administration.

Over the holiday weekend the Obama administration announced that President Obama would fly to North Carolina with Clinton aboard Air Force One in order to campaign with her. Americans would, in part, foot the bill for the travel.

On Tuesday FBI Director James Comey called a supposedly impromptu press conference to announce his findings in the investigation of Clinton’s private email server. He began by announcing that nobody knew what he was about to say, which seems implausible given that Obama was preparing to go onstage with Clinton at the time. Is it even within the realm of imagination that Obama would stand next to Clinton hours after Comey announced the intent to prosecute her? Of course not.

Then, Comey proceeded to lay out all the reasons why Clinton should have been indicted: She set up multiple private email servers, all of which were vulnerable to hack; she did not set them up in order to use one mobile device, as she has so often stated; she transmitted and received highly classified material; her team deleted emails that could have contained relevant and classified information; she knew that classified information was crossing her server. He concluded that Clinton’s team was “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

This was all criminal activity.

But Clinton is a member of the Royal Family.

Thus, said Comey, she was innocent. Comey tried to say he wouldn’t recommend prosecution because she didn’t have the requisite intent, but the law doesn’t require intent; it requires merely “gross negligence” under 18 U.S.C. 793. In fact, even the level of intent required to charge under statutes like 18 U.S.C. 1924 and 18 U.S.C. 798 was clearly met: the intent to place classified information in a nonapproved, non-classified place.

Nonetheless, Clinton would be allowed to roam free — and become president. “To be clear,” Comey intoned, “this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now.”

One rule for the peons, one for the potentates.

This is the Wilsonian legacy, finally achieved after a century of waiting: the Big Man (or Woman), unanswerable to the law, approved by the population without regard to equality under the law. We now elect our dictators. And they are unanswerable to us — except, presumably, once every four years. The commonfolk, on the other hand, find themselves on the wrong side of the government gun every day.

Tyranny doesn’t start with jackboots. It begins with the notion that a different law applies to the powerful than to the powerless. Under Barack

No ‘road diet’ needed for First Avenue East

Newton Daily News Editorial Last week plans were unveiled to Newton City Council to reduce the four-lane portion of First Avenue East to two lanes, with the addition of a turning lane and bike lanes.

City council members should be applauded for demanding more research on this drastic proposal. While approving the $1.1 million asphalt resurfacing project, the council will still have the final OK on design plans, which will be determined this fall — about a year before the project is scheduled to get underway.

An important component of the project will add sidewalks to

the portions of First Avenue East where they are lacking — ultimately increasing walk-ability along Newton’s busiest street. It’s presumable these sidewalk completions will be utilized for biking, strollers and other means of mobility.

Anyone who drives across Newton knows the pains of First Avenue — the frequent stop lights dictated as necessary by the Iowa Department of Transportation, the thousands of vehicles driving the route each day, the pedestrian traffic.

A city official describes the two-lane proposal as a “road diet” which will lower the number of points of contact and accidents —

as well as the speed.

As motorists who have made their way across Newton finally approach the portion of First Avenue East with four lanes it’s a sigh of relief to have arrived at a route that’s easier to navigate.

Certainly if accidents were identified as a major concern along this route there would have been a proposal to lower the speed limit or take other steps to address this before now.

We urge city officials to consider other design options that keep First Avenue East one of the easiest routes to travel in Newton. We urge our readers to contact their city council representatives to encourage sensible design plans.

Sex education should begin before kids start to experiment DEAR ABBY: I know you provide a booklet to help teens with questions about sex. But when should I talk to my son or give him a copy? He will turn 9 soon. I know that is young, but kids today are exposed to so much so early. — KRISTEN IN MARYLAND DEAR KRISTEN: You’re absolutely right; they are. They also mature earlier than children of previous generations. That’s why it is so important for parents — and guardians — to begin discussing subjects like alcohol, drugs, sex and family values well before their children start experimenting. So talk to your son now. Do not be shocked if he tells you he has already heard it all from contemporaries. If he has, ask him to tell you what he knows, because what he heard may be inaccurate, and it will give you a chance to correct any misinformation.

My booklet “What Every Teen Should Know” can help to start the conversation. It has been distributed in doctors’ offices and by educators and religious leaders, as well as parents like you who may find it uncomfortable to discuss these topics with their children. It can be ordered by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Shipping and handling are included in the price. Before giving your son the booklet, first read it yourself. The more information you can provide, the better prepared your son will be to make informed choices in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I have observed (and experienced) that people won’t tell you about a husband’s or wife’s infidelity while you and your spouse are together. However, they WILL reveal it after the divorce or death. What purpose does that serve?

If people don’t want to get involved,

then allow me to make a suggestion: Send an unsigned letter in the mail with no return address. There are also phone features that let a person place an anonymous call. Call the workplace of the cheated-on spouse if you don’t have his or her cellphone number. However you can, give the person as much information as you know.

If you do, maybe a marriage can be saved, or a spouse won’t have to deal with an STD. Do you have an opinion, Abby? — STRICTLY ANONYMOUS DEAR STRICTLY ANONYMOUS: People who feel compelled to tell others something “for their own good” should closely examine their motives before doing it. Unsigned letters with no return address are usually sent by cranks trying to target someone they want to hurt, or to destroy a marriage. If someone takes it upon him- or herself to notify a spouse about a mate’s cheating, that person should be honest enough to state who he/she is. If people can’t do that, they should mind their own business.

While some wives — or husbands — may be ignorant about their spouse’s infidelity, the truth is that many already do know something is wrong, but are not yet ready to deal with it.

Airport building potty room for service pooches DES MOINES — Des Moines airport officials will have to spend up to $100,000 to build a room for service dogs to relieve themselves inside the terminal. The “service animal relief area” will be built in a boarding area and will require removing about 10 seats.

Airport Executive Director Kevin Foley told board members Tuesday that the bathroom is required under an update of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The update requires all airports with more than 10,000 passengers a year to have a service animal relief area.

Pink Floyd fans to be treated to rocking experience at Brit Floyd concert

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News The Des Moines Civic Center will be transformed into a Pink Floyd concert on Sunday when the tribute group Brit Floyd takes the stage.

Brit Floyd concert-goers will be treated to a true Pink Floyd experience thanks to a stateof-the-art million dollar light and video show while listening to some of the group’s greatest hits like “Comfortably Numb,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Another Brick in the Wall.”

Leading Brit Floyd on guitar and vocals is Damian Darlington, who started the group more than five ago. Darlington is a long-time fan of Pink Floyd’s music, and prior to starting Brit Floyd toured with another Pink Floyd tribute band for 17 years.

Submitted Photo Brit Floyd performs in Johnstown, Penn. The Pink Floyd tribute band plans a stop at the Des Moines Civic Center Sunday. Tickets are available for the 7:30 p.m. show.

“We try to recreate a Pink Floyd show on as large of a scale as we can,” said Darlington, who started playing guitar as a young teenager.

“There is a level of detail we put into things with

the light show, videos and a huge amount of attention to detail to have the show put on correctly.”

That attention to detail has been bringing Pink Floyd and classic rock fans to Brit Floyd concerts

from Spain to France, London to the U.S. Darlington said the group has noticed the crowds get younger and younger with each world tour.

“A lot of people in the crowd were around when

their first albums came out, but now there is a whole new generation that wants to experience (Pink Floyd),” he said.

“People are bringing their children and now their grandchildren to experience it and enjoy the music.”

With playing some of the world’s most recognizable tunes, Darlington said there is a certain amount of pressure the band feels when taking the stage.

“There is a little bit of pressure on yourself but we just try harder. We take the music very seriously,” Darlington said.

“I’m proud of what Brit Floyd has done. I take pride in what we do.”

That pride shows during Brit Floyd shows which features Pink Floyd staples as well as more obscure tracks from the rock group’s five decades of music. Darlington said

Brit Floyd’s video and light show really brings the Pink Floyd music to life.

“Our show brings a level of immersion of all senses,” he said. “Pink Floyd is known for putting on large-scale multimedia concerts. They were really a pioneer at that sort of thing. We are very passionate about the music and what we do.”

Catch Darlington and his Brit Floyd band mates on stage at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Des Moines Civic Center. Tickets are available starting at $32 each at DesMoinesPerformingArts.org, the Civic Center Ticket office or by calling 800-745-3000.

“If people love Plink Floyd music they should come and enjoy two and half hours of Pink Floyd songs, amazing light show, videos and if there is room a large inflatable pig,” Darlington said.

Iowa DOT says it will close facilities due to reduced budget DES MOINES (AP) — Some Iowa residents will see reduced snowplowing services because seven maintenance garages around the state are closing due to reduced funding in the state budget, the Iowa Department of Transportation Proud to Offer

announced Tuesday.

Two driver’s license stations also will close under the plan, according to agency spokeswoman Andrea Henry. There will be no layoffs, but 67 open positions will be permanently removed by the budget year

Mark Noack, CLTC

that begins next year. Twenty-eight current employees will be given the option to relocate to other DOT locations.

Fewer maintenance garages mean snowplows will clear Iowa roads less frequently, and fewer driver’s license stations

mean residents may need to travel further for certain related needs.

“We can’t continue to operate operationally without full funding ... this is going to create a reduction in services,” Henry said.

The department’s total budget for the current fiscal year, which began in July, is $370 million. It had sought $9.7 million more to fully fund 2,699 full-time positions, but only got half from the Iowa Legislature.

Local & State News Pokemon

Continued from Page 1A Cockerty said a lot of his friends are playing the game along with a lot of kids his age.

The free Nintendo game is popular among teens but also has a following among those who played the classic card games as kids as well.

Newton Public Library Director Nicole Lindstrom has also seen increased traffic in and around the library since the game was released.

“I have noticed that Pokémon Go has brought in teens and young adults that I have not seen in the library before,” Lindstrom said.

“Pokémon is a huge requested topic for kids but now it’s a top-

The deadline for online registration is July 20. If help is needed, the central office that will supply that help is in a new location.

Administration offices are no longer at Emerson Hough.

The offices have moved to the newly remodeled E.J.H. Beard Administrative Center, 1302 First Ave. W. Summer hours for the Beard Center are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The center can be reached at 641-792-5809. It is closed on

ic/activity that all ages are enjoying at the library.”

Lindstrom said the library also offers a cool place for the players to relax and take a break between catches.

As the game grows in popularity in Newton, those playing the game are cautioned to keep aware of their surroundings as they search. Those driving are also asked to stay on alert as a larger number of children may be traveling the streets, most likely with a phone in their hands.

“The police department is aware of the recent interest in the Pokémon game and have noticed an increased amount of foot traffic around the city within the past week,” Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said.

“Those residents who are par-

ticipating in Pokémon activities are encouraged to pay attention to traffic while crossing streets and stay off of private property as unauthorized access can be considered trespassing.”

Burdess also warns that venturing onto private residential or business property can put the Pokémon players at a higher risk of industrial accidents, vehicle accidents, dog attacks or confrontations with residents.

“Police departments around the country are receiving a higher number of suspicious person calls and accidents as a result of the game,” Burdess said.

Fridays.

Parents who feel they need help going through the process can call and ask any of the secretaries answering phones to schedule an appointment with Ross.

The registration is an informational collection step for returning students. Students beginning preschool or kindergarten, or whose families have recently moved into the district, must register in person and complete paperwork at the Beard Center.

Also, paperwork to determine qualification for free and reduced lunch programs must be completed in person.

Paper registration letters were mailed out recently, but for some reason, the link does not always work when it’s typed

by hand into an address bar. The link on the district’s website, under the “parents” tab list item for online registration, seems to function with less trouble.

The online registration is not used to select courses, which will still be scheduled to be done in person for Berg Middle School seventh- and eighth-graders and Newton High School early next month. Guidance counselors will be at those sessions, which also include in-person tasks such as taking photos.

However, their information must be entered and updated by parents each year, and the online registration take large, time-consuming step out of the in-person sessions.

Berg Middle School schedule pickup and Lifetouch photo shoots will be held is Aug. 8

The Newton Police Department encourages players to follow these tips: 1. Always be aware of your surroundings, and look up from your phone frequently. There are reports nationwide that players have fallen down hills, into holes, stepped off curbs into traffic, and run into objects such as trees and poles because they are concentrating on their phones.

2. Stay off of private property.

3. Do not play and drive a motor vehicle.

4. Do not play the game at night and stay out of poorly lit areas.

5. Try to stay in public areas where other people are around.

6. Stay clear of alleyways, tunnels, and other secluded areas.

7. Make sure that someone else knows that you are playing, and what area you will be playing in.

from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Newton High School students, most of whom picked out their 2016-17 courses in the spring, will meet at NHS from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 10 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 11.

Ross said if an online account is partially set up, and an interruption occurs, it’s important to re-enter the system as an existing user, clicking on the orange “Parent Login” button on the right side of the registration page, rather than the green “Sign Up Now” first-time account creation button.

“We don’t want to have anyone end up with two accounts,” Ross said.

Fees can be paid during online registration as well using a program called RevTrak. If

parents cannot or choose not to pay online, the only days central office is taking cash, credit/debit card or check payments are Aug. 8 from noon to 7 p.m. and Aug. 9 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ross said she received about 40 phone calls Monday about the registration process, and only two were simply frustrated parents who wanted to vent about it. She was able to help all the others with questions.

She said about 10 parents have come into the office to register children in Newton Schools for the first time. At least one of those parents, she said, has gone on to complete the online registration process.

“Most of them don’t realize how simple the online part is,” Ross said. “It only takes about 20 minutes.”

Cardinals drop LHC games to DCG

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High pitcher Connor Gholson fields a bunt by a Dallas Center-Grimes batter in the first game of Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader at Newton’s Eversman Field. The DCG Mustangs claimed both games — 4-1 and 2-0 — as Newton concluded its conference schedule. The Cardinals play two games at home Wednesday to end the regular season.

And the hits just don’t keep coming for Newton High’s Cardinals. The Cardinals could muster just six hits in two games Tuesday night at home.

Newton dropped its final Little Hawkeye Conference contests — 4-1 and 2-0 — to visiting Dallas Center-Grimes’ Mustangs. The Cardinals finished conference play at 5-13 while the Mustangs were 11-7.

“It’s the story of our season. We get great defense and great pitching, but our hitting isn’t there,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “We hit the ball hard tonight but right at people again.”

Newton’s Connor Gholson turned in another complete game on the pitcher’s mound in the opening game of the conference doubleheader. Gholson gave up eight hits, walked two, hit a batter and struck out two.

DCG’s Jordan Humphreys was just a bit better on the hill. Humphreys surrendered three hits — two in one inning — and did not issue a walk. He struck out one batter.

Newton fell behind 3-0 going into the bottom of the fourth inning. Drew Stout singled to left field and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Trey Vanderlaan. Duncan Lee delivered a CARDINALS | 6B

Stover dominates Lions, Raiders advance to district title game

trict championship on their homefield at 7 p.m.

Saturday in Story City.

It looked early though like the Norse’s season could be over.

PCM senior Clay Cooper’s RBI single scored freshman Brayton Van Dyke to give the Mustangs an early 1-0 lead. Van Dyke led off the game with a walk and took second on a wild pitch.

Junior Ryan Hill made it 2-0 in the second inning when he took a Zach Shadlow 0-2 pitch deep over the fence in right field.

Shadlow gave up a single to the next batter — PCM freshman Preston Van Wyk. Van Wyk stole second but was stranded on the bases.

PCM put runners on the corners in the third, but Shadlow got out of the jam with a fielder’s choice ground ball to the shortstop.

Shadlow (5-2) ended up going the distance on the mound. He allowed at least one base runner

STORY CITY — Coll i n s - M a x w e l l / B a x t e r ’s Brady Stover has worn a dri-fit Batman shirt underneath his Raider jersey every time he’s stepped on the mound in a game this season.

On Tuesday, Stover certainly pitched like a superhero.

Stover struck out a career-high 19 batters, and the Raiders advanced to their second consecutive district championship game following a 3-0 triumph over Des Moines Christian in a Class 2A District 13 semifinal game.

Stover surrendered just one hit and walked one in improving to 4-0 on the season. He has 93 strikeouts in 42 innings this season. He’s only allowed three earned runs on the year.

“My arm was a little tight coming in. It felt better and better after every inning though,” said Stover, whose previous career-high strikeout game was 18 against Colfax-Mingo on July 7, 2014. “My velocity was increasing, and I was hitting my spots. I felt like everything was working out there.”

The win for CMB pushes it into the district final against 2A No. 9 Roland-Story. That game will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday in Story City. The Norsemen dispatched Prairie City-Monroe, 7-2, in the nightcap.

Des Moines Christian (20-10) came into the game hitting .321 as a team. The Lions scored 7.33 runs per game this season, but Stover made most of the Lions’ hitters look silly at-bat after at-bat.

Miscues doom PCM against No. 9 Norse

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Prairie City-Monroe’s baseball team had Class 2A No. 9 Roland-Story right where it wanted it during a 2A District 13 semifinal Tuesday.

The Mustangs built a 2-0 lead in the first two innings and had their ace lefty Austin Brown on the mound.

Unfortunately for PCM, miscues in the field and a pair of walks

by Brown were too much to overcome during a 7-2 loss to the Norsemen.

“I thought the kids came out and played really well early, but we just couldn’t sustain it,” PCM coach Shaun Hudnut said. “Those middle three or four innings got us down. The kids continued to fight though.”

Roland-Story, which reached the state tournament last year, set a new school record with its 29th win of the season, and the Norse (29-10 will play Collins-Maxwell/Baxter in the dis-

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ST MARYS — Lynnville-Sully sophomore pitcher Elijah Collins threw six innings of two-hit baseball against fellow South Iowa Cedar League Colfax-Mingo Tuesday in Class 1A District 13 action.

The Hawks used a ninehit attack in their 4-1 victory against the Tigerhawks to advance to the District 13 semifinals. Lynnville-Sully (15-9) will face 1A ninth-ranked Martensdale-St. Marys at 7 p.m. Thursday in St. Marys.

Martensdale-St. Marys defeated Iowa Christian, 10-3, in the second quarterfinal Tuesday at St. Marys.

Colfax-Mingo made a bid for a seventh-inning rally when junior Adam Teed drew

Fisk

Lewis

a leadoff walk from Collins.

Lynnville-Sully went to junior Tyler Van Zante to close things out, but it wasn’t easy.

Tigerhawk starting pitcher Alex Lewis, a sophomore, was hit by a pitch with one gone.

The Hawks turned a double play on a ball hit by C-M senior Gabe Simpson to end the inning and the game.

Lynnville-Sully scored twice in the bottom of the second inning to gain a 2-1 lead. Col-

fax-Mingo had plated a run in the top of the frame.

It stayed 2-1 until the bottom of the sixth inning. The Hawks chased Lewis from the mound with two runners on base and no outs. They greeted reliever Jonathan Jacobs, another sophomore, with contact, scoring two more runs.

Senior Ross Van Wyk delivered a single and a double for the Hawks, scoring a run and driving in one run. Senior Kobe Fisk scored twice and had a single.

Hitting a single each for Lynnville-Sully were Van Zante, juniors Caden Dunsbergen and Dylan Rozenboom, seniors Kyle Van Dyke and Noah Engle and sophomore Carson Dunsbergen.

Collins earned the pitching victory for the Hawks, allowing one run on two hits in six

innings of work. He walked two and struck out six. Van Zante picked up the save.

Colfax-Mingo’s Lewis worked five complete innings, and was charged with four runs for the loss. Jacobs pitched one inning. No other Colfax-Mingo statistics were available at presstime.

At 14-16, Colfax-Mingo closed out its best season since 2013’s 18-19 campaign. The Tigerhawk baseball team had combined nine wins in the past two seasons. They were 5-24 in 2015 — their final year in the Heart of Iowa Conference.

Colfax-Mingo was 7-9 in its first season playing as a member of the SICL, finishing seventh.

Spieth skipping Olympics TROON, Scotland (AP) — Golf waited 112 years to get back into the Olympics.

The top four players in the world are waiting a bit longer.

Jordan Spieth delivered the final blow Monday when he told the International Golf Federation he would not be going to Rio next month, leaving the sport without its four highest-ranked players who have captured six of the last eight majors.

IGF President Peter Dawson said Spieth cited his concern over “health issues” for withdrawing.

Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy previously withdrew, all citing the Zika virus.

The women only had one player withdraw, Lee Anne Pace of South Africa, due to Zika concerns.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Ryan Hill rounds second base after hitting his first career varsity home run against Roland-Story on Tuesday. The blast to right field gave the Mustangs a 2-0 lead, but Roland-Story rallied for a 7-2 win.

Mustangs

Continued from Page 1B in every inning, but PCM did not get past second base after the third inning. PCM stranded 10 runners on base.

The Mustangs out-hit Roland-Story 5-4, but PCM committed five errors and walked four Norsemen batters.

“The effort was there, but when you play a team like Roland-Story you can’t make mistakes,” Hudnut said. “Unfortunately, we did that, and it was too much to overcome.”

Brown (6-3) tossed the first four innings after pitching six innings for PCM (12-18) in the win over West Marshall on Saturday. He had an early lead,

but he walked two and gave up two hits in the third inning.

That allowed Roland-Story to tie the game, and then the Norsemen scored three runs off Brown without recording a hit in the fourth. Brown walked one, but the Mustangs committed three errors in the frame.

“What we asked Austin to do tonight was tough,” Hudnut said. “We asked him to come back on two days rest after throwing six innings Saturday. He battled and gave us everything he could, but we didn’t execute a few plays in the field.”

Roland-Story capped off the win with two more runs against sophomore Noah Henkenius in the fifth.

All four PCM seniors batted in the seventh inning.

Brown asked Hudnut to have teammate Gunnar Davis hit for him, but Hudnut had a different idea.

“All four of our seniors have outstanding character. I told him we would get Gunnar in, but we would do it a different way,” Hudnut said. “It was good to get all four guys an at-bat in that last inning.

Those guys have been exceptional leaders for us on and off the field, and I couldn’t ask for four better kids.”

It was the last game for Hudnut as he resigned as Mustang baseball coach a few weeks before the postseason started. He led PCM to its first-ever state tourney berth.

Raiders

Continued from Page 1B Stover walked Tyler Ketcham with one out in the first inning. He stole second, but the Raider lefty fanned the final two batters of the inning to get out of the minor jam.

Des Moines Christian never got past first base the rest of the way.

“When he is on the mound, I think we are as good as anyone in the state,” CMB coach Max Seeman said.

Stover struck out the side in the first, third, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Spencer Nyberg singled with two outs in the fourth. That was the only hit Stover allowed on the evening.

“He’s given up four runs on the year. That’s insane,” CMB senior Brad Ritter said. “We feel like we can win any game that he’s on the mound.

“It gives us all a boost. Our offense has a little bit more confidence because we know we only have to score a couple runs to win.”

Ritter put the Raiders (1211) on the board in the third inning. Junior Brady Ross singled with one out, and then junior Brady Kemp walked.

With two runners on, Ritter smacked a 2-0 pitch into the hole in left-centerfield.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Brady Ross, right, slides safely into third base ahead of the tag from Des Moines Christian’s Sam Stroh during the Raiders’ 3-0 win Tuesday in Story City. Ross had two hits and scored two runs in the win.

Ross came across to score, and the Raiders were on the board.

“Both of the pitches I hit were fastballs right over the plate,” Ritter said. “I am pretty sure they were both mistakes, but I just tried to take advantage anyway that I could.”

One run ended being enough for CMB, but the visitors added two insurance runs in the fifth. With one out, Ross singled, and then

Ritter doubled on another 2-0 count with two outs. Both runners scored on the next play as Creighton Caple’s pop up was mishandled by Ketcham at second base.

“Taking a 3-0 lead is a lot better than a 1-0 lead,” Stover said. “A 1-0 lead is not very secure, and you just never know what can happen. Once we scored those two runs, I knew we would pull it out.”

Stover’s pitch count sur-

passed 100 pitches after six innings. But Seeman left his ace in the game to finish it.

Stover, a South Dakota State recruit, didn’t want to come out anyway.

“I didn’t want to come out at all. At that point, my arm wasn’t hurting at all,” Stover said. “I still had a lot of adrenaline. I wanted to finish that game because it was my game to finish.”

Stover, Ritter and Ross all

“It’s surreal. When you put 15 years of your life into something, it’s tough,” Hudnut said. “I can’t ask for better kids and parents in the community to coach in. It’s been a great ride. We had a couple district championships and PCM’s first-ever state tournament berth. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Cooper, Brown, Hill, Van Wyk and senior Tyler Foster all had hits in the game. Van Dyke and Hill each scored a run, while Cooper and Hill had the RBIs. Van Dyke walked twice, while Henkenius walked and was hit by a pitch.

finished with two hits apiece.

Caple had the seventh CMB hit. Ross scored two of the three runs, while Ritter had one run and an RBI. Junior Tucker Maxwell walked once and was hit by a pitch.

Ritter missed last year’s district final loss to North Polk because of an injury. The Raiders will have their cleanup hitter Saturday against Roland-Story.

“Last year, I always questioned what would have happened if I would have played,” Ritter said. “I was hitting it really well then, and I feel like I could have helped us win that game.

“But I think we are a better team this year, and Brady is pitching well, too. We can win no matter who we play.”

Next up for third-seeded CMB is Roland-Story, whose win over PCM on Tuesday set a new school record for wins in a season with 29. The top-seeded Norse will get the game on the their homefield.

“It feels good to be back in the district final, but it will feel better if we can get through it this year,” Seeman said. “We need to have three good days of practice and stay focused.”

Royals’ duo powers AL to All-Star Game victory over NL SAN DIEGO (AP) — Eric Hosmer stood in the middle of the field, holding up a trophy. He hopes to do it again with the Kansas City Royals this fall.

Hosmer and Salvador Perez homered off former Kansas City teammate Johnny Cueto during a six-pitch span in the second inning, Hosmer added an RBI single to become MVP of the All-Star Game and the American League beat the Nationals 4-2 Tuesday night for its fourth straight win.

If the defending champion Royals reach the World Series for the third straight year, they will start at home, sweet, home once again.

“Hopefully this is something we can all rally upon for the second half and find a way to use that home-field advantage,” Hosmer said.

David Ortiz found himself in the middle of the most touching moment at Petco Park, embraced by his AL teammates near first base after exiting his final All-Star Game. The popular Big Papi plans to retire at 40 after this season with Boston.

Kris Bryant of the Cubs led the parade of sparkling young talent with a first-inning home run. The Yankees’ Dellin Betances flashed his 100 mph heat, and Astros reliever Will Harris came on to throw a called third strike past Cardinals rookie Aledmys Diaz on a 3-2 pitch on the outside corner with the bases loaded to end the eighth.

Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera pitched a hitless sixth for the AL, which will open the Series at home for the 11th time in 14 years since the AllStar winner has been used to determine the hosts for Games 1 and 2.

Kansas City became baseball royalty last fall, bursting to a 2-0 lead over the New York Mets at Kauffman Stadium, where Cueto pitched a two-hitter in the second game. The Royals won in five games for their first title since 1985.

This year, Kansas City is languishing at 45-43, seven games off the AL Central lead and in the middle of the wild-

Kansas City Royals Photo Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer (35) and Salvador Perez drove in all four runs for the American League AllStars in a 4-2 All-Star Game win Tuesday in San Diego. The two Royals hit home runs in the second inning to put the AL on top for good. Hosmer was named the All-Star Game MVP.

card race.

“We know how much that home-field advantage helped us,” Hosmer said. “It just brings that sense of comfort to the team and gives you a jumpstart for the whole Series.”

The team with home field has won the World Series six of the last seven times and 24 of the past 30.

Cleveland’s Corey Kluber pitched a 1-2-3 second inning for the win, and Zach Britton induced Nolan Arenado’s game-ending, double-play grounder for the save as the AL cut its deficit to 43-42 with two ties. The NL has outscored the AL overall, 360-359.

Ortiz wore spikes with gold-colored bottoms and matching batting gloves to mark his 10th All-Star selection and delivered the AL batting order to umpires at home plate.

He gave a pregame pep talk to his teammates, hit a smash down the first-base line that Anthony Rizzo snagged to rob him of a potential RBI double in the first and walked against Jose Fernandez in the third.

When Edwin Encarnacion came out to pinch run for him, Ortiz waved to the crowd and then spent his AL teammates came out of the dugout to exchange hugs as the crowd of 42,386 rose in tribute.

“I was supposed to hit a home run in my second at-

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B base hit to left, which was followed by an RBI fielder’s choice by Gholson.

The other hit of the game was a double by Gholson.

The Mustangs used a double by Brett Foreman, a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly by Brandon Risius to plate one run in the first. Tanner Draisy was hit by a pitch to start the fourth followed by a base hit by Foreman. Risius’ one-out single chased home two

bat. My boy told me he was going to throw me a fastball, and the first pitch was a changeup,” Ortiz said.

“Then 3-2 he threw me a slider and I’m like, ‘Are you trying to break my back?’ But he said it was the catcher’s fault.”

Fernandez admitted, “I couldn’t believe that I was actually pitching to him. We both looked at each other and smiled.”

“He signed the jersey I brought for him,” the 23-yearold Miami Marlins ace said.

The All-Star Game returned to San Diego for the first time since 1992 at Jack Murphy Stadium. Just before this first pitch, commissioner Rob Manfred joined Rod Carew, his family and the family of late Padres great Tony Gwynn and named the batting titles after the two Hall of Famers, giving Gwynn the NL honor and Carew the AL championship.

Gwynn died of salivary gland cancer two years ago at age 54.

Randy Jones threw out the ceremonial first pitch and former Padres All-Star closer Trevor Hoffman helped open, bringing the game ball to the mound from the bullpen accompanied by AC/DC’s “Hell’s Bells.”

With an NL ballpark hosting for the second year in a

runs.

Dallas Center-Grimes added a run in the fifth. Callen Bertrand singled to right field and scored on a one-out double by Humphreys.

“Baseball is little about luck. We haven’t had any luck, especially offensively, the past two weeks,” Brisel said.

“I thought we had something going in the second game in the third. Duncan doubled and Connor hit a rocket to right field, but the kid made the catch.”

DCG had single runs in the first and third innings of the second game to lead 2-0. With one gone in the bot-

row in a streak of at least four, the AL wore white uniforms, hit last and used the Padres clubhouse on the first-base side. Ball boys in retro-style mustard-and-mud Padres uniforms lent a San Diego feel to Petco, which opened in 2004.

There was a home run on the game’s fourth pitch for the second straight year; Bryant connected on a 96 mph Chris Sale fastball with two outs as hitters swung early in the count to beat the shadows creeping in from the left-field corner in the late-afternoon start.

Bryant was part of an allCubs infield — the first starting infield quartet from a single team since the 1963 St. Louis Cardinals.

“I think a lot of us were looking first pitch,” said Bryant, who played college ball for the University of San Diego. “A lot of pitchers are coming into the game trying to light up the radar gun a bit.”

That was the highlight for the NL Central-leading Cubs, whose fan base was pumped up by a fast start and dreams of the team’s first title since 1908.

Mike Trout, the All-Star MVP in 2014 and 2015, singled in the first for a fiveAll-Star Game hitting streak — only Mickey Mantle, Joe Morgan and Dave Winfield

tom of the inning, Lee doubled to deep center field. Gholson drilled a pitch to right field, which Bertrand caught.

Bertrand threw the ball in to double off Lee at second base.

Newton returned the defensive favor in the fourth frame. At third base, Stout went up to snag a line drive by Brody Gannon, and he threw the ball to first, doubling off Nathan Brown.

Vanderlaan was Newton’s starting pitcher, but after the first inning left the mound to play first base. Brisel said the left-hander was experiencing soreness, so Brisel went to Tyler Stan-

(seven each) and Stan Musial, Willie Mays and Nellie Fox (six apiece) strung together more.

The lead was short-lived, with Hosmer and Perez going deep for a 3-1 lead in the second, sandwiched around Mookie Betts’ single. Cueto was hard to miss in the center of the field, wearing lime green and orange spikes.

“This morning I got up and didn’t feel well. That is not an excuse,” Cueto said. “I just left two pitches up, and that was the story.”

Hosmer, the first Kansas City player to homer in an All-Star Game since Bo Jackson in 1989, made it 4-1 in the third against Fernandez with a one-hopper off Bryant’s left arm that bounced into left field for an RBI single. Marcell Ozuna cut the gap with a run-scoring single off Aaron Sanchez in the fourth.

When it was over, Hosmer said he was giving the midnight black truck he earned with the MVP award to his dad, Michael, who stood off to the side.

“So he can stop stealing all my cars,” Hosmer said.

Stanton wins All-Star Home Run Derby Giancarlo Stanton wore out Petco Park with a record display of power in the AllStar Home Run Derby on Monday night, peppering every landmark from the left field corner to center field.

Stanton Stanton hit 20 homers in the final round to best defending champion Todd Frazier of the Chicago White Sox. Overall, the Miami Marlins slugger hit a record 61, shattering the single-night mark of 41 by Bobby Abreu in 2005.

ton, who pitched six innings for the Cardinals.

The highlight defensive play of the second game came in the top of the fifth inning with a runner on and one out for DCG. Gholson made a diving stop at shortstop a couple of feet from second base. While on his stomach, Gholson flipped the ball behind his back to second baseman Garrett Sturtz. Sturtz completed the inning-ending double play with a throw to Vanderlaan at first base.

Stanton took the loss, giving up one run on four hits and three walks. He struck out two. In his one inning of work, Vanderlaan was charged with one run on two hits and one walk and had one strikeout.

Trevor Ergenbright and Keith Steinbach each had a single for Newton.

Wednesday is the final games of the regular season for Newton (9-21). The Cardinals are playing back-to-back junior varsity/varsity doubleheaders at home in Woodland Park.
