City offers two weeks of fun with parks summer camps

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Parks Department is once again planning youth summer camps for kids, this year presenting two weeks worth of summer fun. Kids ages 7 to 12 are invited to participate in the hourand-a-half long event that is planned from 10:30 a.m. to noon Aug. 3-7 and again Aug. 10-14.

Last year, the department held its first summer camp, a three-day program. This year after finding activities, and ideas to fill a couple weeks worth, the camp was bumped to two weeks. Kids can participate in one or both weeks.

“There are so many options we could do. It was hard to narrow it down to three days worth. As I was coming up with idea, I broke it down to the first week is more activity based like crafts and the second week is more sports focused,” Parks Assistant Secretary Randi Fitzgerald said.

CAMPS | 3A File Photo Students throw their caps into the air at the 2015 Newton High School graduation ceremony in May. At Monday’s regular meeting, the Newton Community School District board of education agreed unanimously to move the 2016 ceremony up one week to May 22, 2016.

Newton High School’s 2016 graduation date is May 22 Moves away from traditional Memorial Day Weekend date

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Since the first Newton High School graduate picked up a diploma in 1875, the world has seen the invention of the automobile, two world wars, 30 Summer Olympics and a transition from blackboards to digital screens.

There have also been 140 graduation ceremonies, with each one holding special meaning to those involved.

So changing the date of the 141st ceremony isn’t one anyone seemed to take lightly, especially NHS Principal Bill Peters.

Peters spoke at the Newton Community School District board of education meeting to explain why graduation needed to be moved away from its planned May 29 date. The board voted unanimously to change the date of next year’s NHS graduation ceremony to Sunday,

May 22, 2016.

The 2015-16 calendar has been revised more than once by the board in the past several months, including after Gov. Terry Branstad signed into law a more relaxed Aug. 23 startdate week. The board adopted a schedule at its April 27 meeting that had NHS graduation on May 29.

Peters, a 1983 NHS graduate, told the board it would not be possible for regular high school staff to complete, in the same week, both all the work involved with the exit of graduating seniors along with the

Fallout from K-12 funding continues

many details associated with semester finals.

“I love graduation,” Peters said. “It’s a great time. It’s a blast. But with the schedule we have this year, we have an early dismissal the last day of school (Friday, May 27), and then everyone is gone. No one sticks around once school is done. Families make plans. Plus, graduation the same week as finals is simply just not possible with all that we have to do. I can pull a bunch of staff off of graduation, but I can’t pull staff off of finals.”

How much money do Iowa’s K-12 schools really need? And how much can the state government afford to spend?

Those are the weighty questions the Iowa Legislature tried to wrestle with this spring. After a compromise had finally been struck, a proposal was sent to Gov. Terry Branstad, who vetoed a one-time $55.7 million one-time appropriation that would have accompanied a 1.25 percent increase in funding from 2014-15.

Allen That veto led to a whole new set of partisan anger and accusations, along with a call for a possible special session.

However, there’s not much optimism that a special session will be scheduled by the July 29 deadline, so that leaves Republicans and Democrats bickering at one another.

It also leaves educators just as much at odds with high-ranking state officials as they were during the spring funding demonstrations and debates.

State Sen. Chaz Allen spoke at the Jasper County Democrats’ monthly meeting last Thursday. He

Board approves new AED Missioning Ceremony, for Annex building blessings at Skiff

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a new Philips Heartstart Automated External Defibrillator for the Jasper County Annex building at its regular Tuesday meeting.

“A while back we purchased the Philips Heartstart AEDs for all the county facilities. The one in the Annex has died. It is more effective to purchase a new one with a warranty than to send ours in and spend money to potentially get it rebuilt,” Human Resource Director Dennis Simon said. “Currently, we do not have one in the Annex working.”

In Brief

Newton CRC to host guest speaker

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Pleasant View Methodist Church is planning to host a “God’s Country Mini-Camp” for kids in fourth through eighth grade Aug. 7-9. The three day overnight camp will give kids a chance to experience what going to camp would be like, just in a smaller, closer setting.

Church camp planned close to home

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Jasper County area kids have a new option for church camp.

The Pleasant View Methodist Church will be holding its first three-day, overnight mini-camp themed “God’s Country MiniCamp” Aug. 7-9 for children in fourth through eighth grade.

“Pleasant View sits on a beautiful piece of ground out in the country, and we thought here is this ground not being utilized in any way, maybe we can press it into good service to do ministry,” Pleasant View Pastor Tim Morgan said.

The camp hopes to give kids a chance to have the experience of camp in a smaller, closer to home setting. It is also less expensive than the traditional week long camps, giving kids a taste of what camp is like without the full commitment.

“We thought, what if we did a mini-camp out here on our

grounds that would be close by and inexpensive and give the kids an opportunity in Jasper County or surrounding counties to have that experience?” Morgan said.

Camp starts at 5 p.m. Aug. 9.

Kids will get to experience activities such as ziplines, barnyard Olympics, campfire, hay rides, water games, singing and worship. Everything will be provided for the campers by Pleasant View as well as several other local churches. A small list will be given upon registration for any items the campers need to bring themselves. The camp will also be staffed by local volunteers.

“The idea behind the camp, the reason we call it “God’s Country Mini-Camp” is obviously we are going to be sharing about God, but also there are practically no kids that live in the country and know what country living is like,” Morgan said. “The idea was to give them a taste of county life. We are

going to have farm animals like goats, chickens and turkeys that they can get involved in caring for. We are going to do country oriented crafts like building bird houses.”

Campers will also be working in the garden, harvesting vegetables and using them to cook meals outside.

The camp will conclude with a worship service Sunday morning to which parents and family are invited with a lunch to follow. Check-out will begin at 11:30 a.m.

There is a $60 registration fee that includes a T-shirt. Scholarships are available upon request.

The registration deadline is July 24 and space is limited for the inaugural camp.

To register visit “God’s Country Mini-Camp” on Facebook or call 641-417-9463.

Pope acknowledges US critics, and downplays US-Cuba role The Associated Press ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis is acknowledging criticism in the United States of his anti-capitalist stance and is calling for dialogue before his high-profile trip in September. He’s also downplaying his role in the U.S.-Cuba rapprochement.

Francis spent much of the past week in South America — and before that many speeches and two key teaching documents — railing against the injustices of today’s “structurally perverse”

global economic system that puts profit ahead of people. U.S. conservatives — among them many high-profile Catholics — have called his attacks on fossil fuels and the free-market economy flawed and irresponsible, given that many millions of people have been lifted out of poverty thanks to capitalism.

Francis told reporters en route home to Rome on Sunday that he had heard about the criticisms in the U.S., but hadn’t had a chance to read up on it given he was preparing for his visit to three of South America’s poorest coun-

tries: Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay —”three beautiful countries, such richness, such beauty,” he said.

“You ask me what I think. If I have not had a dialogue with those who criticize, I don’t have the right to state an opinion, isolated from dialogue?” he said.

“I must begin studying these criticisms, no? And then dialogue a bit with this.”

Francis is due to visit Washington, New York and Philadelphia from Sept. 22-27. One of the most-watched events will be his Sept. 24 speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, where U.S. Re-

publicans have largely ignored his new encyclical on the environment.

Francis added a Cuba leg onto the beginning of the trip — from Sept. 1922 — after helping bring about the historic thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations that is resulting in the reopening of the U.S. Embassy in Havana on July 20.

Francis insisted that he had played only a small role in the rapprochement, even though both U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro singled him out for praise when they announced the breakthrough in December.

Newton Christian Reformed Church is hosting Creation Ministries International event with speaker Dr. Jonathan Sarfati. Sessions begin at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 16 at the church, 511 S. Fifth Ave. E. Sarfati will expose the bankruptcy of the evolutionary myth. You’ll be amazed to see how weak the scientific evidence for evolution is. This is an issue that affects everyone. Evolution teaches us there is no need for God, there is no spiritual realm, and there is no afterlife. According to the theory, spirituality is just an evolutionary trick of the mind.

The Bible gives a

very different picture about the nature of these things. At this presentation, you will learn how the scientific evidence, when properly understood, confirms the details of the biblical account. At the same time, many of the big questions will be answered.

For more information, contact Newton Christian Reformed Church at 641-792-2162 or visit www.newtoncrc.com.

Sessions: • 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. — Design, Deluge & Dilemma • 6 to 7 p.m. — Six Days ... Really?

as many people happy about the ceremony being held a certain day as there are people who are upset or frustrated. The ceremony has been scheduled apart Peters from Memorial Day weekend before, he said.

Board member Nat Clark said last year, he heard from about two dozen parents who complained about electronic education devices being turned in just as students were preparing for finals. Peters replied that if students are saving their work and notes in a cloud storage application called OneDrive, they’ll be able to access their items from any computer that has Internet access.

Peters said custodial staff,

the school nurse, and a total of about 40 adults are needed to prepare for graduation, and about 100 adults to help on the day of the ceremony. To do all this the same week as overseeing final exams for the entire school would require many extra people and hours, he said.

“First of all, when we did this calendar, we should have considered this on the front end,” board member Donna Cook said. “We probably have families that have already reserved places for Memorial Day weekend.”

The board voted 6-0 to approve the change. Board member Travis Padget wasn’t present at the meeting. The board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is July 27.

Grinnell-Newburg, $83,230 for Colfax-Mingo and $38,074 for Baxter Schools.

Allen doesn’t believe both houses will be able to come up with the two-thirds majority needed to reconvene and override the veto. State funding narrowly passed by a 26-24 vote in the Senate.

Branstad told the Associated Press on Monday that lawmakers will not be able to get the necessary support from two-thirds of members for such a session.

He said Republicans would not want to come back for a fight on education funding.

The Republican governor said he was exercising fiscal restraint and that the state was making other education investments.

He also said schools will have to look at ways to be more efficient.

Statewide, the fallout has been ugly. The website “The Starting Line” published two emails this week from State Sen.

David Johnson (R-Ocheyedan).

In one email, a reply to Waterloo East High School science teacher Vaughn Gross, Johnson said the extra time in this year’s session (beyond the May 1 per-diem end date) cost him money.

“The session extended by the Democrats unnecessarily cost me” $2,000 — my money, not taxpayers,’” Johnson said in the email. “Quit whining.”

Johnson later replied to a colleague of Gross’s, and wasn’t apologetic.

“True ed reform won’t happen until that $6,000 in state aid is stapled to every student’s backpack and spent at the discretion of the parent(s),” Johnson said in the second email. “I sure hope all these emails are going viral too.”

In case of rain or inclement weather, the camp will still meet inside the shelter at each park.

Continued from Page 1A Peters said in addition to checking in students’ electronic devices, inspecting each one for the proper apps, storage space and damage, there are books, fees, equipment and many other items in order to determine a graduation list. The printing of the graduation program and preparing and rehearsing the actual ceremony are one of the many huge projects of graduation week.

“In this room, the only two people who know everything you have to do that week are you and me,” Superintendent Bob Callaghan said.

While it will be an adjustment to not have graduation on Memorial Day weekend, Peters said it has been done before.

Education Continued from Page 1A said two Branstad staffers who sat in on state education budget meetings with legislators gave no indication that a veto was imminent.

“The governor made the comment that we understood that he wouldn’t sign off on the one-time money,” Allen said.

“His staff was in all the negotiations with us, and they not once told us that this would get vetoed. They were all leaning toward this being a viable option. That chaps me pretty bad.

I don’t have to be nice about it.

He vetoed this out of spite.”

Allen said the veto cost schools in his district $1,558, 171. That includes $739,889 for Southeast Polk, $329,430.08 for the Newton Community School District, $189,266 for Bondurant-Farrar, $178,961 for

Plea deal reached in courthouse bomb threat case

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A 40-year-old Newton man suspected of calling in bomb threats to the Jasper County Courthouse last winter has re a c h e d a plea agreem e n t Meloche with the state.

Martin R. Meloche was charged Dec. 30 after authorities said he made two phone calls indicating a bomb would detonate at the courthouse on Dec. 29. Online court records show Meloche was scheduled to be sentenced on felony drug charges that morning.

The threat led to the evacuation and closing of the courthouse until the premise was cleared, and also temporarily closed some downtown businesses.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said after multiple sweeps of the property, no suspicious devices or packages were

located.

An arrest warrant for Meloche was issued the evening of the incident.

Meloche was discovered at a Newton residence the following day and was charged with two counts of false report of an explosive device, a Class D felony.

During his arrest deputies found drug paraphernalia on Meloche and additional contraband was discovered when he was taken to the jail. He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor and possessing contraband, a Class D felony.

The simple misdemeanor charge has been suspended, pending the outcome of the other charges.

Meloche is currently serving a prison sentence for methamphetamine possession charges. He will appear at the Jasper County Courthouse on Aug. 3 for the plea hearing.

Court documents did not disclose the details of the plea agreement.

With the retirement of Dave Gilchrist, a longtime transport officer for the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, John McMahon was approved for hire as a part-time transport officer by the board. His start date is Monday at a pay rate of $12.64 per hour.

“Dave’s been our mainstay for transports with mental health and substance abuse. The guys are worth their weight in gold on their transports, the time they sit with these people. I appreciate his service and we are going to miss him but he wants to spend time with the wife and the grandkids,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty.

Gilchrist previously worked at Maytag before joining the sheriff ’s office about 12 years ago.

Opinion

Babbling Brooks

I can’t stand low effort, because it can be fixed

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | July 15, 2015

Lately, I’ve noticed a real trend in folks not giving a rip, and it’s bringing me down.

Athletic coaches frequently discuss effort level, as it’s a measurable variable coaches and others can see in both practice and competition. While folks who appear to be giving less than 100 percent absolutely drive me crazy, I know that it’s human to fall short — hardly anyone can focus all the time, and bring it every moment, in a way that would survive all scrutiny.

Over the past few years, I have noticed a big-time effort level drop in retail industries. It’s not as prevalent in the frontline employees who interact with customers but in the ways companies are set up and the ways middle- and upper management interact with people.

It makes a difference if we’re enjoying what we’re doing, but that shouldn’t be the only factor. We should put all of what we have into everything we do — even if we’re not in the midst

of our favorite tasks of life. One hundred percent or more should be our baseline effort, and it really doesn’t feel like corporate America is doing that.

I never really expected any entry-level employee at a fast-food restaurant or department store to care so deeply about their role that they never have a lax moment.

I also expect most government employees to be more concerned about efficiency and getting people and/or goods or tasks off their hands.

However, these are not the fields where I see customer service dipping.

I see the dip in how businesses treat each other and how priorities keep businesses from placing courtesy and respect ahead of profitability and convenience.

The lack of effort seems to be closer to the top of the corporate ladder than down at the bottom.

I expect management to care enough about customer needs to figure out how to meet them, and not simply cater to the wants of

a few.

This seems a longstanding problem in food and grocery industries, where corporations take the beautiful work of farmers and mash it into a frozen cardboard box to keep overhead low. No one begrudges companies the quest to remain profitable, but it doesn’t take a genius to know that we need fresh fruits and vegetables once in a while.

When I had the chance to cover former Maryland governor and 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley on his recent trip to Newton, there was much talk about economics. O’Malley said he believes an economy is not made up of money, but of people.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of O’Malley or his party, or of elected officials or candidates in general, it’s a breakthrough for a candidate to even say such words out loud. The prevailing line of thought is that the bottom line matters more; that money talks, that we must have jobs so

we can have money so we can eat and politicians can get elected or re-elected.

It seems corporations have gotten more out-of-touch with the masses because they have so little contact or interaction with the rank and file. Either companies are so small that there isn’t time to re-connect, or too big to get to know everyone.

I’m finding this to be more of a root cause than a symptom.

The robots and computer voices are actually putting large companies at a disadvantage; they don’t know their customers. Following spending habits and social media clicks is no replacement for direct conversation.

Maybe someday, it will become unprofitable for corporations to be too big. Until then, we must encourage our retail industries to “retail harder” and mix with the customers once in a while.

Why Obama turned Iran into a regional power

Letter to the Editor

Proud to call Newton home, humbled by generosity Judy Manusos Newton I moved to Newton a little more than a year ago. After one month, I suffered a painful, personal loss. I didn’t have any friends or family in Newton and didn’t know where home was, or should be. Now, more than 15 months later, I have the answer.

I have met at least 80 people, all of whom have been kind and caring, who reached out to me.

Neighbors brought me comforting food, shoveled my sidewalk and driveway and mowed my lawn.

Recently, I was the recipient of such kindness that I’m still in

awe. A car pulled into my driveway and out jumped five children and a mom all dressed in lime green T-shirts. They were soon joined by a truck and a van and the group expanded to more than a dozen. They proceeded to work tirelessly, nonstop in the 90 degree heat. They cleaned my gutters, painted window trim on a second story, pulled weeds, trimmed shrubs and took on a humongous overgrown hedge.

They raked and picked up all of the debris and took it away.

The children, ages 5 to 10 were so polite. They called me Miss Judy and answered “yes, ma’am and no ma’am.” Because of the heat and my red face, one young girl asked, “are you alright?” Whenever I picked up a broom or a rake to help, one of them would say “I”ll help,” or “I

can do that.”

When they were through, they said, “Thank you for letting us come.” I was humbled. This was all the work of the volunteer group project Reach Out. When I first moved here I heard many comments about when Maytag was here or when Maytag left. I’m sure the company leaving contributed to a great financial loss, however, I read the Newton news faithfully and am so inspired when an existing company grows or a new shop opens.

From my own personal experience, I am indebted to the people of Newton for helping me transition to a feeling of comfort and belonging. It’s not Maytag that made Newton what it is, but the community spirit that is alive and present.

On Tuesday, Barack Obama championed his legacy-making agreement with the Iranian m u l lahs.

T h a t agreem e n t p r o vides billions of dollars to the Is- By Ben Shapiro lamist aggressors hellbent on dominating Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Yemen, and any place else they can spread their regime of terror.

In exchange, the United States receives a pinkie swear that the Iranians will not develop nuclear weapons for a grand total of 10 years; within five years, we will allow weapons embargoes against the state to end, and within eight years, we will allow missile technology to flow into Iran unimpeded.

This deal, Obama said, is a move in a “different direction.”

He is right. It is a move in a different direction: America used to care when its enemies created spheres of influence across strategically important swaths of territory. President Obama used to pretend to care. In phraseology that now seems charmingly quaint, Obama stated in his 2010 State of the Union Address, “the international community is more united, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is more isolated. And as Iran’s leaders continue to ignore their obligations, there should be no doubt: They, too, will face growing consequences. That is a promise.”

Consider that promise broken.

America used to worry about its allies being targeted for destruction.

Obama’s new deal with Iran contains zero re-

strictions on their terrorist activity across the Middle East and the world, and relieves sanctions on figures including Qasem Soleimani, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Force, a group responsible for the murder of hundreds of American troops. The deal also enriches Iran massively, and Iran has made clear that it will use those increased resources to help its terrorist allies like Hamas and Hezbollah.

America used to fret about such things as the use of weapons of mass destruction — remember how cute it was when President Obama announced a red line with regard to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s use of chemical weapons? Now, Assad can rest easy: His sponsor state just received the biggest influx of cash since the Iranian Revolution.

Neville Chamberlain could argue that in appeasing Hitler, he was trying to buy time to rebuild a crippled military in the face of an equally powerful force. Winston Churchill argued that Chamberlain’s appeasement at Munich in 1938 sprang from a genuine desire to achieve peace and defend Britain. At least Chamberlain loved his country.

President Obama clearly does not. Unlike Chamberlain, he has purposefully hollowed out America’s military, and fully embraces Iran’s regional aspirations.

Chamberlain didn’t want Hitler to take over Europe. Obama wants Iran to take over large sections of the Middle East. Like most Europeans, Obama sees America and Israel as greater threats to world peace than Iran or North Korea. His top priority in the Iran deal was forestalling action by the United States and Israel.

Teen booklet will help parents start conversation about sex DEAR ABBY: Do you have any information or advice on how to talk to my 12-year-old stepdaughter about sex? I have a pretty good idea about where to take the conversation. I don’t plan to make it a big deal — not so serious as to scare her, but not too lighthearted either. You never know what kids are saying about it in school these days. I want her to know the door is always open should she need to talk.

(My mother did that with me, which I appreciated.)

If you have any pointers or reading material suited for her age, that would be great. — STEPMOM IN TEXAS DEAR STEPMOM: I’m glad you are opening up the subject because “the talk” with your stepdaughter should have started long ago as part of an ongoing discussion. For a variety of reasons, young people today mature much earlier than they did years ago.

She should be told that, if they haven’t already started, the changes that will take place in her body are normal and nothing to fear.

As for reading material, my booklet, “What Every Teen Should Know” can help you to start that conversation. It has been distributed in doctors’ offices and used to promote discussions by educators and religious leaders, as well as parents who find it hard to discuss these topics with their children. You can order one 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. You should review it before starting the conversation so you will be prepared in advance to answer her questions. The more information you can give her, the better prepared she will be to make intelligent decisions in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 25-year-old, well-educated woman, engaged to a wonderful man. Although we don’t plan to wed for another couple of

years, I have a question on my mind.

Neither of us is traditional or religious.

What should I do about my name?

My fiance would be honored if I took his name, but wouldn’t be insulted or hurt if I didn’t. For a long time I had thought that hyphenating would be an appropriate solution, but the more I consider it, a long double name on everything I will have to sign might become an inconvenience.

I don’t dislike his last name or have strong feelings against taking it, but I like the name I have now. Part of me likes the idea of always carrying it.

Since children are not going to be part of the equation, there’s no risk of confusing them or their teachers.

What do other young couples do? I would love an outside perspective. — NAME GAME IN KANSAS DEAR NAME GAME: It is no longer unusual for women to retain their maiden names after marriage.

Many choose to do it because they have become established/successful in their careers, others because they want to maintain their identity as an individual.

Some women solve the problem by using their husband’s name legally and retaining their maiden name professionally. Others use their maiden name as a middle name and their husband’s last name. Please don’t worry about this; you have time to make your final decision.

1 Man pleads guilty to cheating CLEAR LAKE — A man accused of cheating in a Clear Lake bass fishing contest has pleaded guilty to felony second-degree theft. Twenty-five-year-old Jason F. Schuttler of Manly received a deferred judgment and two years of probation on Monday. Court documents say Schuttler was ordered to pay $1,606 in restitution, $100 in costs and a $125 surcharge. Prosecutors say Schuttler caught some of the 50 fish he turned in at a fishing tournament in February outside of tournament hours.

BURLINGTON — A judge has dismissed harassment charges filed against a Burlington woman after she admitted sending cow manure to a neighbor. An attorney filed a motion Monday to dismiss criminal harassment charges against Kim Capdevilia. The charges were filed after Capdevilia acknowledged to Burlington police that she paid a company to send the manure to her neighbor.

SIBLEY — Investigators have identified the person killed in an apparent fall from a train in northwest Iowa as a 29-year-old man.

The Department of Public Safety says Tuesday that a pedestrian found the body of Brandon Joseph Sage Gould on Monday near Sibley, just south of the Minnesota border. Investigators believe Gould fell and then was run over by the train. It’s unclear how or why he fell. Authorities say he was traveling with his wife, Yvette Gould, on a Union Pacific car carrying grain.

Jury convicts man in northern Iowa stabbing death FORT DODGE — A jury has convicted a man of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a woman nearly two years ago in northern Iowa. Jurors on Tuesday found 41-year-old Tyrone Washington Jr. guilty in the killing of 30-year-old Justina Smith in a park in Northwood. The trial was moved to Webster County District Court in Fort Dodge due to concerns about the few black residents in Worth County. In May, the first Webster County trial was stopped after a judge agreed to strike the jury pool.

5 Trial set for man accused of fatal shooting at Iowa mall

CORALVILLE — Trial has been set for a North Liberty man accused of shooting and killing a woman inside a busy Iowa mall.

Woman cited for setting off fireworks during John Deere Classic SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Authorities in western Illinois say a Rock Island woman will be cited for setting off fireworks during the final hours of the John Deere Classic.

Silvis police announced Tuesday that 41-yearold Jennifer L. Winters will face a charge of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Police say Winters set off fireworks just before 4 p.m. Sunday while near the 16th green at TPC Deere Run in Silvis.

The explosion caused golfer Zach Johnson to jump in the air as he was preparing to putt for a birdie. After collecting himself, Johnson putted but missed.

In announcing plans to cite Winters, police noted her actions caused golfers, staff, and civilians to be “alarmed and disturbed.”

The Quad-City Times reports Winters apologized for the incident in a message posted Sunday on her Facebook page. Johnson tweeted the incident was “not cool,” and certainly shook him up in a crunch situation. “Saying that, I do forgive them.”

Audit shows Iowa correctional district misspent $1.2 million DES MOINES (AP) — A state audit released Tuesday shows an Iowa correctional district linked to improper spending has misused nearly $1.2 million in additional money.

State Auditor Mary Mosiman said the bulk of improper disbursements from the Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services came from payroll costs.

More than $170,000 was spent on excess vacation and sick leave for some employees.

“These disbursements had a significant financial impact on the

district over several years,” Mosiman said in the report.

Fred Scaletta, spokesman for the Iowa Department of Corrections, said he was still reviewing the report and would have a comment at a later time.

The report said district officials did not believe they were state employees so their accrual rates were different. Mosiman said district employees participated in a sick leave insurance program that required participation from state employees.

An audit in early July said three correctional districts had

been providing additional vacation and sick leave compared to what other state employees were receiving, the newspaper reported.

The new report was an addendum to an audit released at the beginning of 2014 that found nearly $776,000 in improper spending.

It cited vacation payouts to former employees and vacation paid before it was earned.

The district is one eight for the state corrections department that oversees probation, parole and work release programs, among others.

Trial begins for former lotto worker DES MOINES (AP) — A former lottery worker fixed a Hot Lotto game in his favor and attempted to claim a $14 million prize in a “21st century inside job,” a prosecutor said Tuesday during opening statements in the worker’s fraud trial.

Assistant Attorney General Rob Sand told jurors in a Polk County courtroom that Eddie Tipton, 52, of Norwalk, fixed random-number generating computers to pick numbers for the Dec. 23, 2010, Hot Lotto drawing.

Mexico drug lord escape tunnel is audacious engineering feat ALMOLOYA, Mexico (AP) — Mexico’s most prized prisoner paced his cell, first to the latrine, then the shower, then the bed. At every turn around the tiny room, drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman checked the shower floor hidden by a half wall, because even jailed criminals get their privacy.

In his final sweep, Guzman sat on his bed and took off his shoes.

Then he walked back to the shower, stooped behind the wall and disappeared. It was the beginning of an escape odyssey straight out of the pages of fiction, and the media were given a peek on Tuesday of the deep and sophisticated tunnel that led the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, whose illicit drug trafficking reach includes Europe and Asia, swiftly to freedom late Saturday night.

Government video of Guzman’s final moments in his cell and a reporter’s climb into the tunnel put real dimensions to a high-tech engineering feat three stories underground, where planners and builders managed to burrow through dirt and rock right to the one spot in Guzman’s cell that surveillance cameras couldn’t see.

Mexico’s security commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said Tuesday that up to the moment Guzman disappeared, his pacing was considered normal for someone who lives in about 5 square meters (60 square feet) with only an hour a day outside for exercise. But there was nothing usual after he lifted a slab of concrete shower floor and descended into a warm and humid man-made underworld, where a motorcycle rigged to two carts on rails waited to whisk him away.

Guzman either rode on the bike or in one of the carts for a mile (1.5 kilometers) in the dirt tunnel built just high enough for a man called “Shorty” to stand without hitting his head. When he reached the other end, he climbed a wooden ladder through a large, wood-framed shaft with a winch overhead that

AP Photo A journalist reports from the exit of the tunnel that according to authorities, drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman used to escape from the Altiplano maximum security prison in Almoloya, west of Mexico City, Tuesday. A widespread manhunt that included highway checkpoints, stepped up border security and closure of an international airport failed to turn up any trace of Guzman after he escaped through an underground tunnel in his prison cell on Saturday night.

had been used to drop construction supplies into the tunnel. After pulling himself up 17 rungs, he reached a small basement, where a blue power generator the size of a compact car provided the electricity to illuminate and pump oxygen into the underground escape route.

From there, Guzman walked to a shorter ladder and climbed one, two, three steps as the air thinned and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. As Guzman’s head poked above the dirt floor, he climbed three more rungs to stand inside the unfinished bodega built to hide the elaborate scheme.

Digging crews had discarded 4-by 4-inch wooden beams, 8-foot-tall coils of steel mesh, gallons of hydraulic fluid, 10-foot lengths of PVC pipe and an electric disc saw. A battered wheel barrow full of fine gray soil sat just above the opening in the floor. A couple of improvised wooden tables and a wooden bench rounded

out the bodega’s furniture, along with shelves of assorted drill bits, a circular wood saw blade, a jar of liquid cement for pipe joining and a bottle of motor oil.

Seven more strides and the man who Mexico’s government said could not possibly repeat his 2001 prison escape stepped through a sliding steel door into the chilly night on a high plain west of the capital.

For the first time since his latest capture on Feb. 22, 2014, Guzman was free.

The ingenuity and audacity of the caper was breathtaking.

It was no slapdash project. It appeared no expense was spared, though working quickly was the priority.

A tunnel of such sophistication would normally take 18 months to two years to complete, said Jim Dinkins, former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.

Former Auschwitz guard, 94, convicted as accessory to murder LUENEBURG, Germany (AP) — Oskar Groening confessed during his trial to feeling “moral guilt” for serving as an SS sergeant at Auschwitz. On Wednesday, a court ruled that he was guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 Jews and sentenced him to four years in prison.

The 94-year-old, who testified that he oversaw the collection of prisoners’ belongings and ensured valuables and cash were separated to be sent to Berlin, listened expressionlessly to the verdict after a 2 1/2-month trial that could set a legal landmark.

The verdict, and presiding Judge Franz Kompisch’s thorough and impassioned detailing of the Lueneburg state court’s ruling, renewed hope of more 11th-hour prosecutions of former members of the SS who served at death camps — no matter their age.

“This verdict was critical, because this is the first case brought where the prosecution charged a person who wasn’t involved in the physical side of mass murder,” said the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s head Nazi hunter, Efraim Zuroff, in a telephone interview from Belgrade.

“This paves the way for additional trials of individuals who did not literally pull the trigger but who were part of the

implementation of the Final Solution.”

Kompisch acknowledged that Groening was born in a different time, growing up after World War I in Germany in a right-wing nationalist family, in a society where Jews were portrayed as a danger to the country. However, he said Groening joined the SS of his own volition when he had many other options.

“You didn’t want to stand on the sidelines,” Kompisch told Groening, who listened attentively for more than an hour and a half as the judge detailed the ruling, occasionally sipping from a bottle of water. “You wanted to be there.”

In his job at the death camp, for which he has been dubbed the “accountant of Auschwitz,” Kompisch said Groening was part of the “machinery of death,” helping the camp function and also collecting money stolen from the victims to help the Nazi cause.

Though he knew exactly what was going on at the camp, he did not have himself transferred away, which likely would have meant serving on the deadly Russian Front, Kompisch said.

“It is a question of courage and a personal decision,” he said. “You decided on a job where the possibility of your own death was relatively minimal.”

Cardinals’ hitting is stymied in loss

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

CINCINNATI (AP) — Mike Trout flashed the skill that puts him at the front of baseball’s new generation, just moments after four of the all-time greats had just walked off the field.

Trout became the first player in 38 years to homer leading off an All-Star Game, then became the first player to take home the Midsummer Classic’s MVP award two years in row.

A new-look All-Star Game finished with the same old result. The AL beat the NL 6-3 Tuesday night and will open the World Series at home for the 10th time in 13 years.

After Trout completed a career All-Star cycle in just his fifth big league season. Prince Fielder drove in two runs, sending Trout blazing home with the run off Clayton Kershaw that put the AL ahead for good.

In an age of dominant pitching, Felix Hernandez, winner David Price, Zach Britton, Dellin Betances and Wade Davis took scoreless turns in the AL’s third win a row.

A season after the retirement of Derek Jeter dropped the curtain on

TAMA — Hitting the ball in run-scoring situations is eluding Newton High’s Cardinals right now.

The Cardinals out hit an opponent Tuesday, but came up on the short end of a 3-2 score against host South Tama.

“We’re not hitting the ball, and that’s why we’re not winning games right now,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said. “Our pitching and defense were great again tonight. We just didn’t get the job done at the plate when we had men on base.”

The Cardinals (16-13) have lost three games in a row and are 3-5 for the month of July. They wrap up the regular season Wednesday at Boone.

Newton begins Class 4A Substate 7 play Friday against Des Moines Hoover at 7 p.m. at Eversman Field in Woodland Park.

Long ball cripples Mustangs in 2A district semifinals

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALBIA — The offensive punch that left Prairie City-Monroe’s baseball team earlier this season made a valiant comeback late in the season.

And the bats stayed hot Tuesday against top-seeded Davis County.

Both Mustang squads scored plenty of runs in a Class 2A District 11 semifinal, but Davis County plated six runs off three homers and advanced to Saturday’s championship game following a 9-6 win over PCM. Saban Goodson hit home runs, drove in three and scored three times, while Bryce Vinyard was 3-for-4 with a homer, three RBIs and three runs scored at the top of the lineup as Davis County improved to 23-7 on the season.

PCM (9-17) collected nine hits at the plate but struggled to slow down the home team on the scoreboard.

“We are really proud of where we came from at the second and third week in the season,” PCM Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Trey Lindsay had two hits and scored two runs in his final game as a Mustang on Tuesday. PCM ended its coach Shaun Hudnut said. season with a 9-6 loss to top-seeded Davis County in the Class 2A District 11 Tournament.

Hawks turn back Royals in Class 1A district contest

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Baker Zegers cranked out two triples and scored a run in the Hawks’ 6-5 win over Colo-NESCO Tuesday.

SULLY — Things got interesting late in Tuesday’s Class 1A District 11 quarterfinal baseball game between Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks and Colo-NESCO’s Royals.

The Hawks, playing in front of the home crowd, busted open a scoreless game with four runs in the third innings. They were sailing along as the teams posted two more scoreless innings.

Fighting to stay alive in the postseason, the Royals produced four runs in the sixth to tie the game at 4-all.

Back came the Hawks, plating two runs in their half of the inning to regain the lead, 6-2.

The Royals threatened again in the top of the seventh. They even scored a run to narrow the margin to one run.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense held tight to record a 6-5 victory over the Royals. The win put the Hawks into the

district semifinals Thursday at home. Lynnville-Sully is also hosting the District 11 championship game Saturday in Sully.

Baker Zegers ripped the ball for two triples and scored a run for the Hawks. Noah Engle and Caleb James went 2-for-3, each driving in a run.

Engle had a single and a triple while James laced out two singles.

Kobe Fisk produced two RBIs and had a double in the game. Hitting a single each were Jake Brand, Caden Dunsbergen and Kolton Fisk.

Brand was the starting pitcher for the Hawks, going 5 2/3 innings. He was charged with four runs on four hits and two walks and he struck out four.

James came on in relief of Brand in the sixth inning and pitched the seventh. James got the win, giving up one run on one hit and one walk.

He struck out one batter.

Spieth chasing history at St. Andrews ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Jordan Spieth was practicing a shot he hopes he won’t need this week, banging a few wedges off the wall on the famous Road Hole in the fading sun at this, the birthplace of golf.

Dead tired after winning yet again in Illinois before flying all night to get here for what could be a defining moment in golf, Spieth was still intent on having a bit of fun.

“Who wants this?” he yelled out, signing a ball and then tossing it left-handed toward the 50 or so fans still around Monday night.

It caused a bit of a frenzy.

Those in a sport that has been fixated for the better part of two decades on Tiger Woods are still trying to decipher Spieth themselves.

What they do know is that he’s 21, and in the midst of greatest the stretch of golf anyone has seen since Woods burst on the scene and transformed the sleepy game into must-see TV. Forget the fact that part of the Woods mystique was that he was a rare player of color in a mostly lily-white game.

Woods caused more of a stir by doing other things no one had ever seen before, thrilling fans with his booming drives and winning with clutch putts punctuated by his signature fist pump.

Spieth is no Tiger Woods. Doesn’t try to be, though they do share the same habit of talking angrily to themselves during a round.

He doesn’t overwhelm a crowd with his presence, doesn’t intimidate other players while wearing a red shirt on Sunday.

In a game dominated

by Woods and the power hitters who followed, he’s not even in the same neighborhood as the big boys with a driver in his hand.

What Spieth does do is win. This year he’s done it on the biggest stages in golf, grabbing a green jacket at the Masters and following it with a win a few weeks back at the U.S. Open.

Add in a British Open and PGA Championship title, and he would be the first player to win the Grand Slam in a calendar year.

Stover fans 15, Ritter homers in CMB win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OGDEN — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Brady Stover struck out 15 on the mound and junior Brad Ritter stayed red-hot at the plate Tuesday night.

Ritter gave the Raiders a 3-0 lead with his first home run of the season and then CMB held off top-seeded Ogden, 5-3, in a Class 2A District 14 semifinal.

Ritter’s home run was part of a three-hit, two-RBI day.

Stover surrendered three hits and walked four but 15 of Ogden’s 21 outs were recorded by strikeout. He improved to 5-2 on the year and now has 85 strikeouts in 40 1/2 innings.

CMB plated one in the first to take an early lead. Ogden countered CMB’s two-run third with a pair of runs of its own in the third. Both teams scored a run in the fourth and the game was decided by CMB’s run in the fifth.

Ritter had three of CMB’s 11 hits. Stover and Creighton Caple each had two hits and one run, while Hunter McWhirter had two hits and two RBIs. The victory for CMB was its fourth straight. The Raiders (10-14) also locked up a double-digit win season for the first time since 2010.

CMB won 10 games in 2009 and 2010 but only won 11 from 2012-14 combined.

Fiebelkorn’s no-hitter ends Tigerhawks’ season

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — Kaiden Fiebelkorn tossed a no-hitter and the BGM baseball team took advantage of six Colfax-Mingo errors during a 5-0 win in Class 1A District

11 quarterfinal game at BGM High School.

Jonathan Jacobs threw well enough to win for the Tigerhawks (5-23).

Jacobs allowed three earned runs, scattered six hits and walked three while striking out six.

The errors though were too much to overcome.

BGM (20-9) pulled away with a four-run third inning.

BGM has now won 11 of its last 12 games.

Fiebelkorn also had two hits, three RBIs, one run and one stolen base to lead BGM’s

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B “We were at a low point after a rough stretch, but they scratched and clawed their way back to get some confidence and be in position where we can play with a team like Davis County.

“We felt like we were close for awhile, and we felt pretty good coming into district play.

We thought we could play with any of these teams. We just came up a little short tonight.”

PCM junior Clay Cooper came into the game hitting a team-best .461. Cooper had two more hits against the Mustangs. His RBI single in the first made it 1-0 and another RBI hit in the fifth helped PCM close to within 7-6 following a four-run fifth inning.

Cooper reached on an error and scored in the fourth.

Hudnut said his threeyear starter in center field was more relaxed and comfortable with his role this season. He hit .350 in the lead-off spot as a freshman but the average dipped when he was moved to the middle of the lineup as a sophomore.

“He has quick hands and understands situations and what he needs to do with each at-bat,” Hudnut said. “He is one of those guys that just does everything for us. We have been very fortunate and blessed during my time at PCM to have had a four-year starter in Hutch Burns and now a threeyear starter in Clay Cooper in center field.”

Trey Lindsay went 2-for4 with two runs and a stolen base in his final game in a Mustang uniform. He’ll move on to William Penn next season.

Another senior, Chase Keuning, had two hits in his

final game. Keuning (0-2) also started on the mound and took the loss after allowing seven runs — five earned — on six hits in four innings. Freshman Noah Henkenius threw the final two innings, giving up Goodson’s second homer with Vinyard on base in the sixth.

Primarily a reliever, Keuning was making his second start of the season.

“We asked Keuning to do

something different tonight,” Hudnut said. “He pitched pretty well overall, but he made a few mistakes that turned into home runs. (Henkenius) was the same way. He got one ball up and they hit that one out, too.”

PCM started the game with three straight singles but only scored one run after running into a double play at second base.

offense.

The Tigerhawks (5-24) ended the season with victories in three of the last four games.

Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com

Davis County quickly countered with two runs in the bottom of the first. Goodson’s first blast came in the third and Davis County got another run on two PCM errors. Another error allowed Davis County to put the lead-off batter on base in the fourth and Vinyard crushed a three-run homer two batters later.

PCM scored an unearned run in the fourth and then rallied with a four-run fifth. Connor Warrick walked and then Lindsay hit a one-out single.

Austin Brown’s RBI double made it 7-4 and then Cooper closed the gap to 7-5 with an RBI single. Keuning kept the momentum with another double and Ethan Thomas’ RBI groundout made it a one-run game.

“We have been getting back to the basics with our swings,” Hudnut said. “It took some time to build our confidence back up after starting 1-9. We hit the ball well late in the year.

The guys made some great adjustments.”

Only one other PCM hitter would reach base in the final two innings tough. Goodson put an exclamation point on the win with his fifth homer of the season.

“They hit three big home runs that accounted for most of their runs,” Hudnut said.

Davis County ace Jacob Jones came into the game with an earned run average of 1.63. He allowed five earned runs on nine hits in seven innings on Tuesday but improved to 8-2 on the year.

Davis County faces second-seeded Albia for the district title Saturday. The Blue Demons defeated Pella Christian, 5-1, in the other 2A District 11 semifinal.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Jeff Stanton took the loss on the mound for Newton, going six innings. He gave up five hits, walked three and struck out five.

The Cardinal defense made one error in the game.

The Cardinals came up with seven hits against three Trojan pitchers, but left seven men on base.

In the first inning, Drew Stout, who was 2-for-4 on the night, led off with a single to left field.

Stout moved around to third on a sacrifice by Stanton and a ground out by Michael Barr. He scored on a Trojan error.

South Tama used a hit batter, a wild pitch and a passed ball to score the equalizer in the bottom of the first.

After a double play in the top of the third, Stout began a twoout rally for the Cardinals. Stout doubled to center field and scored on a triple by Stanton.

The Trojans knotted the score again in their half of the inning.

A two-out single drove in the run to forge a 2-2 tie.

Back-to-back doubles by Dalton Doyle and Mitch Thede produced the go-ahead run for the Trojans, who snapped a 10-game losing skid with Tuesday’s win.

Newton’s Mike McCormick was hit by a pitch to begin the seventh inning and Brennen Dodd drew a walk. Jordan Travis had a sacrifice to move the

Hitting a single each for Newton were Tyler Wood, Duncan Lee, Dodd and Travis.

Newton’s junior varsity posted a 3-1 win over South Tama. Tyler Stanton was the winning pitcher,

giving up four hits, walking one and striking out seven.

Tyler Stanton and Reagan Maple each had two singles. Tristan Peters, Trey Vanderlaan and Grant Nook each had a single.

All-Star Continued from Page 1B the turn-of-century greats, the 23-year-old Trout was among six starting position players under 25 — the most since 1965. He was the MVP of last year’s game in Minneapolis, when he hit a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double.

This time Trout sent Zack Greinke’s fourth pitch, a 94 mph fastball on the outer half of the plate, over the wall in right next to the visiting bullpen for an opposite-field homer.

Winner of his first season AL MVP award last year, the Los Angeles Angels outfielder joined Willie Mays, Steve Garvey, Gary Carter and Cal Ripken, Jr. as the only twotime All-Star MVPs. Fielder and Lorenzo Cain had run-scoring hits in the fifth against Kershaw, the reigning NL MVP, that put the AL ahead 3-1.

Manny Machado, at 23 another of the sport’s fresh faces, hit a double off the rightfield wall against Francisco Rodriguez in the seventh and scored on Fielder’s sacrifice fly. And Brian Dozier, the last player added to the game as an injury replacement, hit a solo home run off Mark Melancon in the eighth.

Stars old and young gathered in one of baseball’s most traditional towns. The Reds became baseball’s first professional team in 1869, and players wore caps with horizontal stripes in an attempt at a 19th century feel.

Pete Rose, Cincinnati’s hometown hero and baseball’s banned career hits leader, was given an 80-second ovation when he walked onto the field before the game to join Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Barry Larkin, elected by fans as the Reds’ greatest players. Wearing a red jacket and tie and walking stiffly, the now 74-year-old Charlie Hustle was applauded as soon as his image appeared on the video boards, even before he emerged from the AL dugout.

And in the first All-Star Game at Great American Ballpark, which opened in 2003, fans got to see some great ballplayers.

Bench, changed into a blue jacket, returned with Hank Aaron, Mays and Sandy Koufax, voted baseball’s great living players by fans as part of the promotion. In a senti-

AP Photo American League’s Mike Trout (27), of the Los Angeles Angels, is congratulated by American League’s Lorenzo Cain (6), of the Kansas City Royals, after scoring during the fifth inning of Tuesday’s MLB All-Star baseball game in Cincinnati. Trout led the game off with a home run and was named the game’s MVP as the American League All-Stars defeated the National League All-Stars, 6-3.

mental yet stunning reminder of generational change, Aaron, 81, and Morgan, 71, needed canes to reach the infield, and Mays, 84, was aided on and off the field by an assistant.

Above the field, new Commissioner Rob Manfred watched from a luxury suite, the first All-Star Game not presided over by Bud Selig since 1992.

Many players of the new generation love bling in a manner that puzzles Hall of Famers: Posey wore a gold-colored helmet behind the plate, looking a bit like the Great Gazoo or a Praetorian Guard, accessorizing with a chest protector, shin guards and cleats all with gold-colored trim. Baltimore’s Adam Jones was shod in bright orange cleats, and Kansas City’s Lorenzo Cain and Washington’s Bryce Harper donned golden spikes.

Trout, a Generation Y star with a baby boomer work ethic, completed a unique cycle on a clear evening that

followed a heavy afternoon downpour. He singled in his All-Star debut in 2012, doubled to open 2013 game and tripled in the first inning last year. He was just the ninth player to hit for an All-Star cycle in his entire career, joining an illustrious list that includes Hall of Famers Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Ernie Banks, George Brett, Mike Schmidt and Mays.

Fielder later became the 10th.

No one had homered leading off an All-Star Game since 1977 at old Yankee Stadium, when Morgan connected off Jim Palmer. Greinke, coming off five scoreless outings, had not allowed a run since June 13.

“It’s not easy,” Greinke said of pitching to Trout. “You’ve got like a 2-inch window up in the zone. If you throw it higher than that, he takes it.

If you throw it lower he does what he did.”

Dallas Keuchel, the AL starter with the long, bushy

beard, gave up the tying run in the second after Paul Goldschmidt led off with a bouncer to third, reaching on an infield single and taking second as Josh Donaldson threw wildly. Goldschmidt crossed on Posey’s groundout and Jhonny Peralta, an All-Star again after serving a 50-game drug suspension two years ago, dumped a two-out single into right field.

“It was the most amped up I’ve ever been,” the Houston star said. “It was just the atmosphere — the greatest players ever, Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays.”

The AL went back on top in the fifth against Kershaw, the first NL pitcher voted the league’s MVP since 1968. Fielder lined an opposite-field single to left that scored Trout, who raced home from second to slide in ahead of Joc Pederson’s throw, and Cain pulled the next pitch down the left-field line for an RBI double.

Andrew McCutchen homered off Chris Archer in the sixth, cutting the gap to 3-2.

The Old Rivalry The AL is 21-6-1 in the last 28 games, losing three straight from 1994-96 and 2010-12. The NL leads the matchup 43-41-2.

Speeding Jacob deGrom of the Mets, the NL Rookie of the Year, struck out Stephen Vogt, Jason Kipnis and Jose Iglesias on 10 pitches in the sixth, reaching 98 mph. ... Reds closer Aroldis Chapman threw 14 of 15 pitches at 100 mph or more in the ninth, reaching 103 mph and striking out the side.

Up Next This was the first of at least four straight games in NL ballparks, a departure from the usual practice of alternating leagues for the host. Still, the AL will bat last next year at San Diego and in 2018 at Washington, while the NL has last licks again at Miami in 2017.

Astrograph

too far beyond your vision.

Under the nurturing new moon in Cancer, we are like seeds planted in the ground.

The early growing happens under the surface. Roots are the first things to develop. It wouldn’t work otherwise -- we need anchors and a system for pulling in the stuff of survival.

The relationships we build anchor us.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 15). Perseverance will be critical to your success. Through sheer determination, you’ll make a situation work. Enjoy the star treatment in September -- it’s a sign of your arrival.

You motivate others without coming off as controlling,

which is why you’ll be put in charge of an important group project at the start of 2016.

Aquarius and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 11, 27 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Those who are trying to go “under the radar” don’t always get quiet or hide. Sometimes they talk -- a lot. “Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.”

-- Friedrich Nietzsche TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Decisions by committee rarely lead to the best outcome. When it’s your name on the line, don’t let the group sway you

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll be working with a small group of creative people, and you have plenty of questions, comments and suggestions to share. It’s better to do so in the early stages of a project than in the later stages.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When you look out onto the horizon of your plans, you do recognize a few constraints.

Embrace them. Your ability to work within them will lead to unexpected benefits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When others don’t give us the love we want from them, it’s disappointing. But this isn’t Hollywood, and the others weren’t

403 West 4th St. North, Newton, IA. handed your script to read from. The best we can do is discover the true dynamics and play the scene from there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The gold in this day will only fall into your pockets if you muscle up and do the thing you’ve been putting off for the past few weeks. No more waiting, hoping the work will go away. Get in there and handle it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There is a potential liveliness in a routine activity that you will find once you decide to change one element of it. A slight shift will snap you to attention. You’ll see it all differently.

EOE SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re drawn to the kind of toys that keep you fascinated and fully engaged in the moment. Luckily, today’s toys won’t cost you much, and the time you spend in play will pay you back and then some.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like to be on when you’re required to be on and then switch it off for a while.

The one you really love is the one you can relax around unselfconsciously and without worry.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sports, reading, dancing, exploring, dining, crafting...

There are so many things you wish you had more time for.

The resolution to make time

will go a long way under this new moon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The seemingly mundane will be alive with psychic information. Because you are paying attention, you’ll get signs from things that are a normal part of the daily routine: food labels, junk mail, clouds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

What would you do with more time, more money and more freedom? Once you know the answer to this question, you’ll be willing to let go of the things that are keeping you from these luxuries.
