Two recently published nonprofit studies highlight the extreme poverty experienced by households across Jasper County and the rest of Iowa.

The United Ways of Iowa released its ALICE report on June 28, with Iowa Policy Project’s twopart “The Cost of Living in Iowa — 2016 Edition” going public on July 6.

Both reveal the amount of people in poverty whose

hold younger than age 65, and $25,000 for heads of household age 65 or older.

The study, which uses 2014 data, shows about 30 percent of Jasper County families live in poverty by the ALICE standard — close to the state average. Dallas County has 21 percent; Decatur County, which straddles Interstate 35 along the Missouri border, is at 46 percent.

Most of the county is within the 25 to 35 percent

The city council agenda is light on action items but several topics will be up for discussion at the Monday meeting. Among the discussion items are the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Newton Housing Development Corporation and a proposal for housing on the former Seed Store property.

City staff has been in talks with two different development groups on the use of the former Seed Store property for housing units.

The groups interested in the property plan to utilize the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program for low to moderate income level housing prospects. City staff supports the application as it has found available workforce for local industries is severely limited due to lack of housing.

In order to move forward with the program application, the city would need to approve the possible sale of the property to the selected developer. Also requested is the sale of the property directly south of the former Seed Store to be used for parking for the property.

City staff is seeking direction from the council on the path it would like to take in order to more forward with the prospective developers.

Also on the agenda for is a discussion about the CVB and the NHDC. In an effort to review the organizations, the city council formed “study groups.”

Almost one in five Iowa families cannot meet cost of living The United Way study uses a threshold called ALICE — an acronym that stands for asset, limited income, constrained and employed — using various costs of living and income and assets to determine how many people are living in poverty.

The incomes of these households are technically above the Federal Poverty Level, but don’t add up to affording the basic cost of living.

The income threshold used for Jasper County in the study is $35,000 annual income for heads of house-

Studies show powerful poverty numbers incomes don’t meet basic living expenses, and both show the discrepancies between one- and multi-income families.

“Businesses, public officials and community members are well aware that people are struggling in our state,” said United Ways of Iowa Executive Director Deann Cook. “However, they often don’t understand the depths of the struggle — the real fears of these families — and the consequences for all of us when we don’t listen to their tale.”

Maternal child health services under question

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With changes coming to maternal child health services, the Jasper County Health Department along with the Jasper County Board of Health have decisions to make. JCHD Administrator Becky Pryor laid out potential plans to the board on Thursday for the

services once Marion County takes over the contract on Oct. 1.

The services are focused on pregnant woman, infants and children and include nursing visits, oral health, developmental screens and hearing and vision screenings among many others. Pryor gave an example to the board of the potential the program could

have.

“Let’s say I have a sixmonth-old that I am going to see and they come into the office to get immunizations.

We would do those, developmental screens on the child and postpartum depression screens on the mom because you start tabulating up how much you can charge (for additional services) and you can

In Brief Local students named to Grinnell College dean’s list

Submitted Photo Trish Hafkey, of the Jasper County Farm Bureau, recently took a trip to Arizona to attend the National Agriculture in the Classroom Conference, along with other Iowa educators. From the left are Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation Executive Director Will Fett, Shari Davis, Melissa Keyes, John Seiser, Jenny Sullivan, Sue Cook, Mindy Handsaker, Chrissy Dittmer, Cindy Hall, Hafkey, Katie Hermanson, Elizabeth Widder and Gretchen Voga.

Hafkey learned how to educate in Grand Canyon State Farm Bureau employee found conference immensely helpful

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Iowa educators don’t learn how to teach in a vacuum — they freely exchange ideas with each other, and try to find out what’s being done across the country.

Trish Hafkey of the Jasper County Farm Bureau recently got to see what’s going on with agriculture educators from around Iowa while learning new methods and techniques at a major teaching event in late June. She was one of 14 Iowans to attend a weeklong learning about agriculture at the National Agriculture in the Classroom Conference in Litchfield Park, Ariz., near Phoenix.

The conference attracted more than 400 attendees from all across the country — mainly teachers who will integrate agriculture into their classroom curriculum.

Using agriculture, teachers can teach science, social studies, language arts and many other subjects.

The conference included many tours and examples of Arizona agriculture.

Hafkey attended the conference on behalf of Jasper County Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom program.

“In today’s environment, teachers are asked to do so much,” Hafkey said. “It is helpful to meet with teachers and see how I can develop our resources to ensure they are ready to use and meet state benchmarks.”

Will Fett, the executive director of the Iowa Agriculture Liter-

acy Foundation, also went on the trip, and had great praise for both the networking and curriculum aspects of these types of annual conferences.

“The conference is a great way to network with other passionate educators and bring new ideas back to Iowa,” Fett said. “Professional development and continued learning are ways for teachers to stay current with new material that will help their students.”

The conference focused on hands-on educational activities and making science and social studies concepts seem more relevant.

Iowa’s state teacher award winner, John Seiser of Hamilton County, was recognized at the conference for his exemplary work in integrating agriculture into his fourth-, fifth- and sixthgrade science classes.

The conference included tours of Arizona agriculture including dairies, feedlots, olive mills, local schools, watermelon farms and organic vegetable farms. There was also a trip to the University of Phoenix Stadium — home of the Arizona Cardinals — to look at the unique turfgrass management.

Workshops focused on integrating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) concepts as well as language arts and social studies. The conference is an annual event and will be held next year in Kansas City, Mo. on June 20-23, 2017. The conference is organized and hosted by the National Agriculture in the

Classroom Organization that is a non-profit organization that is affiliated with the United States Department of Agriculture.

The Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation, or IALF, serves as a central resource for educators and volunteers who want to teach Iowa’s students about agriculture.

The mission is to educate Iowans, with a focus on youth, regarding the breadth and global significance of agriculture.

Hafkey said she’s grateful to have seen so many different ways to same basic concepts and subjects can be taught.

“My attendance at the event allowed me to discuss ideas and programs with a wide variety of educators from across the country,” Hafkey said. “I attended several breakout sessions that focused on lessons to help teachers enhance topics they are already covering in their classrooms through hands on activity.”

The Farm Bureau’s resources and activities are free to any Jasper County educators and licensed daycare facilities. Questions about the types of programs or activities provided can be answered by contacting Hafkey at 641-792-6253 or Jasper.County@ ifbf.org.

“We provide ready to use lesson plans, hands on activities and materials and virtual field trips utilizing Skype technology,” Hafkey said.

Local & State News Poverty Continued from Page 1A range of poverty, with Lynnville and Sully averaging slightly more income than any other Jasper communities.

In terms of economic viability, the ALICE report gives each of Iowa’s 99 counties a “poor,” “fair” or “good” rating in three categories. Jasper was rated “poor” for housing affordability and “fair” for both job opportunities and community resources.

Only five counties in the state scored “good” in all three categories.

The United Way report also shows a large discrepancy between Jasper County homeowners and renters in terms of percentage of income spent on housing.

While only 19 percent of homeowners in the county spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, 25 percent of the county’s 10,000 homeowners are living below the poverty line. Conversely, 56 percent of the county’s 4,400 renters live in poverty, and 43 percent of them spend more than 30 percent of their income on rent.

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 15, 2016 | 3A

The 2016 Iowa Policy Project report — which has been updated every two years since 2008 — begins by pointing out that nearly 114,000 Iowa families do not earn enough to provide for a basic standard of living without public supports, despite one or more full-time wage earners in the family.

Overall, nearly 19 percent of Iowa working households meet this description in 2016.

For single parents, the challenge is greater than it is for married couples with children. While the cost of basic expenses for a married, two-income couple with two children went up from about $57,000 to $60,000 between 2014 and 2016, or about 5 percent, and the same costs for a single parent of one child only went up 3.2 percent, Iowa has had its minimum wage at $7.25 per hour since July 2009.

Unemployment is somewhat seasonal and is typically updated monthly. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Jasper County’s April 2015-May 2016 average was 3.8 percent unemployment, or slightly below Iowa’s statewide average of 3.9 percent.

The council can take action on two items including adopting the vision and mission statements for the city and authorizing the purchase and installation of LED lighting fixtures at the Wastewater Treatment Facility.

As work begins on the 2017-2019 Strategic Plan, the first decision for the council to make is on the vision and mission statements. Approving those statements help the staff follow the direction of the council and meet the current and future needs of the city.

“The federal cutoffs are outdated and do not consider what it takes for a family to get by,” Owen said. “This becomes of particular interest when compared with typically reported poverty rates, which are based on the federal poverty guidelines.”

Owen said his team is hoping to help shape state and federal legislation that helps regulate cost escalations and raises wages in a way that not only helps avert poverty, but also drives a more deliberate prosperity.

“The information that seems to be getting the most attention is the focus of that report,” Owen said. “Nearly one in five families are not able to meet a basic-needs household budget.”

Bucket list: Abbey Road

Write On Kate Malott

J

ust a five minute walk from the St. John’s Wood Station in London sits what looks like an ordinary residence nestled in the quiet residential suburb neighborhood of Westminster, but it’s far from ordinary.

It is arguably the most well-known recording studio in the world. The two-story front blends in with the rest of the neighborhood with its metal fence, minimal parking and entry stairs.

Abbey Road Studios, originally EMI, once a 16-room residence, opened in 1931 with several studios to accommodate the music of the time: orchestras, string quartets, chorals and soloists. It was the first custom-built studio complex of its kind.

Studio One is the world’s largest pur-

pose-built recording studio and can accommodate a 110-piece orchestra and 100-person choir simultaneously like the London Symphony Orchestra or the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

Studio Two is a smaller 55-piece band studio, and treasured space of memorable recordings from The Beatles, Pink Floyd and other (primarily British) musicians. Its design, warm acoustics and renowned history have made it a recognizable place.

Abbey Road itself is a two-way street with regular traffic, and the zebra-stripped Beatles cover crossing is near an intersection with routine traffic too. With regular visitors, Beatles mania must be an inconvenience to locals.

The Beatles made their first recording

at Abbey Road Studios in June 1962 after signing with their beloved EMI producer George Martin that year.

Ninety percent of the group’s recordings were made at Abbey Road Studios, including their last recorded album together in 1969, Abbey Road.

“It sounds a bit like a monastery,” Paul McCartney said about naming the album after a fond location.

The band was going through personal struggles and conflicts at the time of Abbey Road. Everyone in their circle knew things were coming to an end, but the studio was like coming home for the band.

“During the album (Abbey Road) things got a bit more positive, and we got to play the whole medley. We put them in order, played the backing track and recorded it all in one take, going from one arrangement to the next. We did actually perform more like musicians again,” George Harrison said.

The acoustics made at the London

studios were carefully crafted with experimental style, innovative technique and ambitious musical arrangements.

“I think it shows on the record when we’re excited. It doesn’t matter what we go through as individuals. We had all put in one thousand percent,” Ringo Starr said.

I went to Abbey Road with three girlfriends five years ago today. It was an important part of London and one to cross off the bucket list. The Beatles are my favorite band, after all.

Although Abbey Road Studios is known for its many legendary rock bands, its iconic presence is a testament to the talent and innovations adopted by technicians and engineers behind the scenes which is too why I adore the experience of it so much.

Music is an art form with many creative processes to celebrate, and Abbey Road is the epitome of artistic freedom.

Summer safety Summer is here and the warmer weather means more visitors coming to our community and more residents enjoying the parks and other outdoor activities. Newton Fest, Thunder Nites, Fourth of July celebrations and the Iowa Speedway brings thousands of community members together in an environment that fosters community pride and engagement and it’s exciting for residents and visitors alike.

Traditionally these summer events don’t cause very many issues within the community, but this time of the year in general is often the busiest time of the year for the police department.

Warmer weather allows residents to open their windows, walk their dogs, get the old hot rod out of the garage, dust off the motorcycle, go for a walk or bicycle ride, go to the pool, enjoy the parks or attend any one of our fine community events. The increased activity in the community can leave residents vulnerable to property crimes or other incidents if proper precautions are not taken. We encourage residents to be vigilant in protecting themselves and their property by following these tips: Report any suspicious activity to the police department. Lock your doors and windows, including the garage door. Ask a trusted family member, friend, or neighbor to keep a watchful eye on your home while you are gone. Don’t post on social media that you are leaving town and wait to post vacation photos after you return. Always lock your car doors and roll up your windows when parked on the street or in your driveway. Do not leave valuables in the car or keep them out of sight if they cannot be removed. Don’t leave bicycles unsecured in your yard and ensure that you lock them up when parking near businesses.

One of the most important things you can do is get to know your neighbors within your neighborhood. Residents who watch out for each other’s property within a neighborhood are much less likely to have incidents occur, or if they do occur having that relationship lends to neighbors being more likely to contact the police while you are away and be a good witness for prosecution. Together we can make our community safer and it begins right in your own neighborhood. Have a safe summer and remember, “If You See Something, Say Something.”

Separation of church, state understanding is skewed On Jan. 10, 1963 a document published by the Communist Party USA was read before a joint session of congress and subsequently entered into the Congressional Record. This document outlined the 45 objectives of the party which, when accomplished, would allow for the takeover of our country. Objective #17 calls for the infiltration of the school system with an aim toward softening the curriculum (i.e. dumbing down). It also calls for the takeover of teachers associations. Objective #30 demands that the founding fathers be discredited, presenting them as rich, white aristocrats with little or no regard for the ‘’common man.’’

In her letter to the editor on

Commerce, other businesses, the Newton Daily News, Park Centre and those in the community.

I am happily surprised and hope I am worthy of such an honor as grand marshal — thank you Jasper County and America.

Oh, what a beautiful display of togetherness and happiness. No matter what, I shall stay true to the red, white and blue.

Love conquers all.

July 5, Linda Wormley states that “we should all be familiar with a founding concept of our country, that being the separation of church and state.” My fear is that the school curriculum has been so “softened” that those who read her statement actually believe that it’s the truth. It’s not.

The phrase “separation of church and state” is not in the constitution. Never has been. One only has to read the writings of the founders to find that, mostly, they were men of faith and conviction.

The “separation” phrase did not become the contemporary standard for judicial policy until 1947 in Everson v Board of Education.

Hardly a founding principle. Justice Gallagher wrote concerning the phrase: It has received so much attention that one would almost think at times that it is to be found in our Constitution. ‘’Justice Potter Stewart observed: The court’s task is not aided by the uncritical invocation of meta-

phors like the ‘wall of separation,’ a phrase nowhere to be found in the Constitution.’’

Justice William Rehnquist writes: The “wall of separation” is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.

The public’s current understanding of the religious provisos of the First Amendment has been shaped by a phrase which does not even appear in the Constitution!

Linda, I’m sorry that the cross troubles you so. It didn’t trouble our founders. Indeed, they embraced it and all that it stands for.

They viewed America as a gift from almighty God. To remove the cross from public display runs completely counter to the beliefs of those who founded this great nation.

‘Love child’ plans approach to half-brother he never met DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Pete,” is an only child. His mom, who was married, had an affair with a married man, which resulted in his birth.

His mother’s husband put his name on the birth certificate, but as a kid, Pete had contact from time to time with his biological father. Both dads have since passed away.

Pete has known for years that his biological father had an older son, but he doesn’t know if the son knows he exists.

Pete now thinks he may have found his half-brother online and wants to reach out to see if he wants a relationship.

How do we even begin to broach this with the half-brother? Is it worth it? Could it cause more damage than good? If you were my husband or his half-brother, would you want to pursue this? — FAMILY MATTERS IN TEXAS DEAR F.M.: The decision about whether to contact a long-lost relative is a very personal one. For some people, the experience is a happy one, but not for others.

Because your husband and his (possible) half-brother are both adults, I can’t see how reaching out would be harmful to the man. A way to do it would be for Pete to send him an email or a letter, explain who his biological father was and ask if there is any interest in further contact.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I divorced 10 years ago. There were no children involved. After the divorce, we would occasionally get together for a meal. It was during those times that we managed to work through our issues and move forward with our separate lives.

Since then, we have remained in contact occasionally to say happy birthday or update the other on work.

We are also friends on Facebook, but our contact does not involve discussion of love interests, family, etc.

Eight years ago, I met a wonderful man who accepts me for who I am. He also understands and supports the type of contact I have with my ex. My beau and I have finally decided to take the

plunge and be married. What is the etiquette for letting my ex-husband know that I am remarrying? I know there will be photos posted to Facebook by friends in common. — SECOND TIME AROUND IN UTAH DEAR SECOND: Convey that information personally. Because you are on speaking terms, call him and share the happy news. I think he will appreciate hearing it straight from you, just as you would if the situation were reversed.

DEAR ABBY: There’s an ongoing debate among my group of friends about using the word “texted.” When I used it, I was corrected, chastised and told that it is NOT a word. Five years ago, when my daughter was a teenager, I started hearing it used frequently.

I realize that “text” is not a verb, however, times have certainly changed, and many new words and expressions have been added to our vocabulary.

Would it only be correct to say, “I sent a text”? Please settle this for us. — BUSTED BY THE GRAMMAR POLICE DEAR BUSTED: The English language is constantly evolving, and with the rapid advances in technology, words are added to the lexicon every year. According to Dictionary.com, “texted” is, indeed, a word and you have been using it correctly. However, because a picture is worth a thousand words, rather than tell your friends you got the information from me, consider sending them a descriptive emoji from the both of us.

3 Mixed martial arts promoter gets 3 months for tax crime

DAVENPORT — A mixed martial arts promoter in eastern Iowa has been given three months in prison for filing a false federal tax return.

Prosecutors say 56-year-old Monte Cox, of Bettendorf, was sentenced Wednesday. He must serve a year of supervised release after leaving custody and cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service to determine any tax liability.

Cox pleaded guilty in October to filing a false return for 2009.

Herbicide blown onto ag workers, authorities say MARSHALLTOWN — Iowa authorities say 15 agricultural workers were exposed to a herbicide while working north of Conrad in Grundy County. The workers were in a field when herbicide from a ground sprayer blew onto them Thursday afternoon. They were taken to Central Iowa Healthcare in Marshalltown, where a decontamination area was set up in the hospital parking lot.

Many of the workers complained of sore throats and itchy eyes. They were then taken inside for emergency treatment.

5 Tyson offers to buy out lease on closed Iowa plant

CHEROKEE — Tyson Foods is offering to pay $400,000 to buy out its remaining lease on a plant it closed in 2014 in the northwest Iowa town of Cherokee. Tyson’s Wes Morris said Thursday the Springdale, Ark., company is offering to pay all of its remaining rent for the next four years to end its interest in the vacant building.

Morris says that would give the building owner and local officials more control.

Governors descend on Iowa to focus on policy, not politics DES MOINES (AP) — For a change, governors will get to see Iowa without campaigning for the White House.

Half the nation’s governors are expected in Des Moines for the summer meeting of the National Governors Association, which began Thursday and runs through the weekend.

The states’ top executives are expected to discuss a range of policy challenges, including the opioid crisis, international trade, relations between law enforcement and minorities, and cybersecurity threats.

Still, presidential politics will be in the air as the two leading candidates get closer to choosing a running mate. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence had been expected to attend the meeting, but it was unclear whether he would as he emerged as one of the top candidates to be Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick.

Hy-Vee theft suspect chased, arrested

who is scheduled to speak during the meeting Saturday, is not denying speculation that he is being considered by Hillary Clinton.

Iowa is best known politically for its first-inthe-nation presidential caucuses, which draws scores of candidates every four years. This weekend’s gathering gives Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad a chance to showcase other aspects of

the state, after he lobbied to host the meeting to coincide with his recent milestone of becoming the longest-serving governor in the nation’s history. Branstad was first elected in 1982 and, after a break from politics, is now in the middle of his sixth term.

Governors will get a lesson on the history of the caucuses, hear about how the state’s farmers help feed the world, and

even have a taste of the famous Iowa State Fair.

The Iowa theme will extend to speakers that include Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Some of the expected attendees, such as Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, already are well-acquainted with the state from earlier presidential campaigns.

A Newton man was arrested and taken to Jasper County Jail on Thursday morning after a theft at a grocery store and a short chase.

According to the Newton Police Department, at about 9:57 a.m., employees at Hy-Vee reported a man had tried to steal some food items.

When an employee confronted the man — later determined to be Anthony R. Strange, 20, of Newton — he threw some of the items at the employee and fled.

Newton Police caught up to the suspect after he entered Walgreens.

An officer confronted the suspect, Strange and he pulled away from the officer and fled the building on foot.

Strange made it across East 12th Street North, where he was captured in the parking lot used by the Goodwill store and Sombrero restaurant. He was taken to Jasper County Jail.

The officer who confronted Strange in Walgreens received a small cut on his arm. Strange was not injured.

Strange is charged with aggravated theft, interference causing injury and possession of drug paraphernalia — all misdemeanors. He is being held on a $3,300 bond.

Newton Police Lt. Ron Cook praised the Hy-Vee staff for noting details about Strange.

“Employees did a great job of relaying to responding officers what the suspect was wearing and where he fled to,” Cook said.

Iowa State officials plan nearly $731K residence renovation AMES (AP) — Iowa State officials want permission to spend nearly $731,000 to renovate the deck and grounds at the president’s residence in Ames.

No state money or student fees would be used. But the Board of Regents policy says “the renovation, modification or improvement to the offi-

cial state-owned residence of an institutional head requires approval of the executive director of the board, should the project budget exceed $100,000.”

Funding would be provided by specific gifts to the Iowa State University Foundation.

Documents released in advance of Monday’s planned

board meeting via telephone say the proposed modification is an extension of a $205,000 improvement project that regents approved nearly three years ago.

The ground and first floors of 115-year-old residence, which is known as The Knoll, are primarily used for university-supported events that

host thousands of people.

Steven Leath moved into the residence section of the house after taking over as ISU president in 2012.

The project calls for replacing the public entrance stairs and ramp at the front entry. The existing deck would be changed to a four-season porch, and more sidewalks

would be replaced.

Iowa State’s request to the regents comes as the University of Iowa is working on a more than $1.4 million renovation of its 107-year-old president’s residence. The University of Northern Iowa is about to begin maintenance work on its 117-year old presidential residence.

Baxter bee hive benefiting community plants, crops

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — When giving back to the community some volunteer at local nonprofit organizations, a few open up much needed businesses in town and others simply donate to a good cause. Jo Ellen Cross of Baxter, however, buys three pounds of honey bees.

The purpose of the purchase isn’t to feed the town with an endless supply of honey.

Instead, it’s to better pollinate the area and advance the growth of nearby agriculture.

Honey is just an added bonus.

“I could have about 60 pounds of honey when I go in there for the first time, but the funny thing is I don’t really use honey at all. I did this for pollinators,” Cross said.

Honey bees pollinate certain crops by transferring pollen from one

plant to another. Even though the main crops in the area — corn and soybeans — are self pollinating plants, according to Cheryl Groom of the Prairie City Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, honey bees can greatly affect the production of other nearby crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, apples and alfalfa.

“Without pollination those kind of vegetables would not be able to produce,” Groom said.

“So bees and other pollinating insects are critical to that.”

The Baxter resident began taking interest in pollination last year when she moved back to her hometown after spending nearly 40 years in Minneapolis.

She graduated from a six-week Marshalltown Community College beekeeping class over the winter and received approval from the city council this spring to farm bees in her back-

yard.

Cross predicts she has invested close to $1,000 when factoring the purchase of the hive, clothing for when she enters the nest and the bees.

Three pounds of honey bees is equal to approximately 10,000 insects, but because the queen can lay up to 1,500 eggs per day, Cross predicts she now has about 60,000 to 80,000 in her hive.

The hive is in her backyard surrounded by a seven foot-fence to force the bees to fly up when leaving the nest.

The bees can travel up to five miles from home, but are not a threat to anyone’s safety in town, Cross said.

“I just try to educate people on how gentle the bees can be.

If you stay away from the hive you probably won’t be stung,” Cross said. “When they are away from a hive, they are very docile, because

Alex Olp/Jasper County Tribune Honey bees enter and depart from Jo Ellen Cross’ backyard hive in Baxter. The hive is expected to be hosting about 60,000 to 80,000 bees, which cross-pollinate local crops and plants within a five-mile radius.

they’re not protecting anything like when they are near the hive. I learned the hard way.”

Cross has been stung twice, but both times were when she was examining the hive from close proximity. She can still walk within a few feet of the bees and not be stung, which she does just about every day, but if opening up the nest she now makes sure her beekeeper suit is on and

her smoker filled with burlap is in her hand.

Cross first heard about pollinators in Minneapolis, where she said residents are encouraged to keep bees.

Upon her return to her parents’ home after the passing of her mother last year, Cross has been studying up on the subject and admits she still has a lot to learn.

“I wanted to do something for my town

when I came back, so I’m helping out with the food bank and pollinators sounded like the real smart thing to do because we are an agricultural community,” Cross said. “A lot of the food that we love, love, love is dependent on pollinators. Not just honey bees, but all kinds of pollinators.”

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLLINS — Bryson Bernard’s “Cupid Shuffle” may now be played before every Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball home game.

They played the song before all three postseason games, and it appeared to relax any nerves and fire up the Raiders during their historic playoff run.

And after three wins over Heart of Iowa Conference squads who the Raiders knew well, the results on the field weren’t too bad either.

“We turned it on, and some of the PCM players started dancing, so we decided to just dance to it as a team,” CMB senior Payge Jurgens said. “We did for the last two games because it worked the first time.

It got us going and pumped us up, so we decided to just do it for every playoff game.”

CMB junior Megan Ritter said she thought the song helped members of the team get over any nerves they may have had before the game.

“It helped us to not get tight and tense before the game,”

Troy Hyde/Daily News The Class 3A No. 14 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team will makes it state tournament debut against third-ranked Solon at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Fort Dodge. Four upperclassmen will be important to a successful tournament run, including, from left, juniors Abbey Kahler, Megan Ritter and Heather Jessen and senior Payge Jurgens.

Ritter said. “It allows us to just have a little fun.”

The Raiders will need to be relaxed and loose when they play in their first-ever state tournament. The first challenge on the agenda is trying to dethrone the defending Class 3A state champions in the Solon Spartans.

For CMB and Solon, the Iowa High School State Softball Championships begins at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Fort Dodge at Harlan Rogers Sports Complex. The Raiders and Spartans will do battle on Buena Vista University Field.

“They are a traditional power so that’s one thing

that’s tough,” CMB coach Troy Houge said of Solon. “They haven’t quite played as well this year so if there’s a year to get them, this might be it.

“We are going to have to play really well to get them, but at least it’s not Benton in the first round. We know how good they are. For a draw at

the state tourney, it’s about as good as you can expect to get.”

The biggest positive about the Raiders’ draw is they avoid top-ranked Benton Community, which is the favorite to hoist the championship trophy on July 22.

Hawks fall in 1A district baseball semifinal

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ST. MARYS — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks had held ninth-ranked Martensdale-St. Marys to one run on five hits through five innings.

The Hawks were up 2-1 in Thursday’s Class 1A District 13 semifinal baseball game.

Junior Tyler Van Zante and the Hawks had worked out of a couple of jams. The Hawk starting pitcher was keeping pace with his Blue Devil counterpart, junior Bret Barnett, in a strong pitching duel.

Then came the bottom of the sixth inning as the Blue Devils staged a rally. Barnett doubled to open the frame and advanced to third base on a passed ball. Martensdale-St. Marys strung together four straight singles on their way to three runs and a 4-2 lead.

Sophomore Brady Gavin, who took over on the mound for the Devils in the sixth

with two gone, set down the Hawks in order in the top of the seventh. The Blue Devils won 4-2 and move into the district championship game on their home field Saturday.

Lynnville-Sully, which had reached a district semifinal for the second year in a row, ended its season at 15-10.

“I started really well. My off-speed pitches were working pretty good. I was getting strikeouts and weak hits with it,” Van Zante said. “My defense played very well behind me. They (the Blue Devils) got the bat on the ball in the sixth against me, and they dropped in hits into unfortunate spots.”

Van Zante took the loss, going five complete innings and giving way to sophomore Josh Dunsbergen with a run in and the bases loaded in the sixth. Van Zante was charged with four runs on nine hits and had four strikeouts.

Royals shine in All-Star Game, again A

year ago there was such an uproar surrounding the Major League Baseball All-Star voting by Kansas City Royals’ fans. How dare Royals fans destroy the American League’s chance to have home-field advantage in the World Series by voting so many of the Kansas City players as starters?

Where was the outcry this season when the Chicago Cubs and their fans did the same? It was not the Cubs’ seven players on the NL All-Star team nor the six Boston Red Sox players on the AL All-Star team who stole the show at the 2016 MLB All-Star Game Tuesday.

Royals’ AL All-Star starters Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez were the stars. They each hit home runs in the second inning and drove in all four runs in the AL’s 4-2 victory.

HAWKS | 6B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Kobe Fisk, second from right, gets quite a reception at home plate after hitting a game-tying solo home run in the fifth inning of Thursday’s 1A district semifinal game at St. Marys. Martensdale-St. Marys ralied to beat Lynnville-Sully, 4-2, to end the Hawks’ season.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets So, for the second year in a row Royals players made an impact on the All-Star Game, which decides homefield advantage for the World Series.

The 2015 World Champion Royals — American League champions the past two seasons — and their fans know the importance of the All-Star game outcome.

Competing in athletics is a high-octane situation as athletes go full bore — or at least should — for a best-effort performance each and every competition. Competing hard is what we want from athletes at all age levels, but also competing hard while maintaining their composure.

When calls don’t go their way, athletes need to stay within themselves and move forward from the situation.

Since my Newton Daily News colleague Troy Hyde addressed a situation occurring in a high school softball game he did not cover, but I did, in his

column Thursday, I want to respond.

There were several close plays throughout the tight seven-inning Class 1A regional championship game between Colfax-Mingo and Martensdale-St. Marys on Monday at Martensdale. Alivia Haley was involved in two of those plays. She “protested” at third base right in front of me on both plays.

Protesting calls falls to coaches, not players, in any sport.

The second time Haley — who competes hard and is very good — questioned the close play at third base as a defensive player too long. The field umpire, who called the Martensdale-St. Marys’ player safe on the play, allowed Haley some leeway. When she continued, the umpire had heard enough.

Haley had “protested” earlier as a base runner at third base in the fifth inning. She reached on an error. When a teammate was called out trying to score from first base on the play, Haley ended up at third base. The home plate umpire came up the third-base line to discuss the play with Colfax-Mingo coach Bryan Poulter and Haley was asked to step back onto third base, twice, by the umpire.

Right or wrong calls, I’m not saying. I reported what happen in a game I covered. I found out later Monday night when I arrived back in Newton there were four ejections — three from the Newton — in a home baseball game between Newton and Knoxville. Names were not shared with me, and I wasn’t at the game to know the situation to make any comment in the story on it.

Staying composed in the heat of the moment on the field of play is part of being an athlete and a coach. On close plays, one team is not going to be happy no matter what. Martensdale-St. Marys was not happy a play after the ejection as one of its players was tagged out trying to score at home on yet another close play.

Haley and her Tigerhawk teammates competed well Monday night.

It’s tough to lose a highly-charged game, especially in the postseason.

Lessons learned Monday, as C-M sophomore Ries Wilson said, will fuel the Tigerhawks, who have all their players returning, for another run in 2017.

Astrograph

The curious, open-minded Sagittarius moon suggests that those who are overly certain about what they know will miss what the newbies notice. There is so much to be gained from scrutinizing our beliefs these days -- humor, deeper insights, playfulness, new direction, connections with different people and circles and much, much more.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 15). Let the opportunities come to you through the next four weeks. When you stop chasing you’ll see just what you have that’s worthy of being chased.

What you share with a loved one’s family will build good will

and good fortune in your own.

The celebration in November requires travel. Personal improvements lead to professional ones. Aries and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 2, 15, 38 and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It’s a day to be assertive. If you don’t ask, you won’t get. If you don’t leave a voicemail, they won’t call back. Make the first gesture and then make the next one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Like a feral creature you meet in the wilderness, a surprise powerful force is coming into your life. This wildcat has a gift

in its mouth. Tame the lion and the gift is yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because the words sound smart or zip with wit or ring with loveliness doesn’t mean they are true. Honesty will come in unassuming tones today. Sensational results will come from acting on quiet truths.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Things feel different on the other side of a goal. Success changes opinions. Expect this when people you know get in a winning position. Expect this of yourself after your victory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Life is going fast. In the blur of events, important details could get lost. Stop a moment to calm down. Also, remembering the lessons of the past will give you more power going forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The universe will be like a chiropractor to your soul, quickly twisting and pushing to snap you back into the proper alignment. Everything will fall into place with a crackle and pop.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Have you noticed how they keep coming to you with their

problems? It’s because you keep handling everything. Stop cultivating their helplessness or you’ll soon be exhausted by the drain of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The fun will involve a level of physical risk. If it doesn’t get you breathing deeply and sweating some, it won’t be as much of a thrill. The less you hold back, the more you’ll smile.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who helps you also hurts you. You’re the only one who can decide if the way this weighs out makes it worthwhile to you in the end. For now, just be aware with your scale on the ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Many heroes are drawn to help others and know how to do it well because they themselves have been, at one time or another, victims. And if you feel like more of a victim than a hero right now, this will soon turn around.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The other generations need you. You bring a joy to their lives that can’t be duplicated by anyone else. The time you spend with someone older or younger will be received as the precious gift it is.

CMB: Raiders’ first state softball tournament challenge is third-ranked Solon Continued from Page 1B The Bobcats (40-2) feature one of the top hitters in the state in Alyssa Wiebel, who is hitting .542 with 17 home runs. The team also has perhaps the best pitcher in the state in Amber Fiser, who is 28-2 with an earned run average of .30 and a 3A-high 342 strikeouts.

The winner of the CMB-Solon game faces the winner between No. 2 Davenport Assumption (39-4) and No. 15 Atlantic (20-14) at 11:30 a.m.

Thursday. The two losers play in a consolation game at noon on Wednesday.

The 3A tournament field includes seven ranked teams.

After Benton, Assumption and Solon is fifth-ranked Mount Vernon and 11thranked Boyden Hull-Rock Valley. Benton faces unranked Estherville-Lincoln Central (20-15) in its quarterfinal game.

“I am pretty excited,” CMB junior Abbey Kahler said. “All I thought about the past two days is just getting there and playing. It’s going to be awesome. I like the challenge of playing the defending champions, too.”

Kahler and eighth-grader Mikayla Houge have led the Raiders in the circle all season.

Kahler enters the state tournament with a 13-4 record.

She has an earned run average of 1.95 with 121 strikeouts in 100 2/3 innings. Opponents are hitting .202 against Kahler.

Mikayla Houge is 12-3 with an ERA of 1.52 and 109 strikeouts in 101 1/3 innings.

Opponents are hitting .217 against Houge.

Coach Houge doesn’t yet know who he is going to start

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s 14th-ranked softball team defeated North Polk, 4-1, in the Class 3A Region 7 championship game Monday in Collins. The Raiders will play in their first-ever state softball tournament against third-ranked Solon at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Fort Dodge.

in the opener against Solon, but the veteran coach knows it could come down to CMB’s pitchers simply slowing down the Spartans’ powerful and productive offense.

“If our pitching and defense can hold them down, we’ll stay with them,” Coach Houge said. “If they get to hitting the ball, it could be a long day for us. The good thing is, I think we have two pitchers that can hold them down. We’ll just have to see how that goes.”

Last year, Solon rode the arm of graduated senior Emily Ira to a state title, but this season the Spartans’ strength appears to be at the dish.

Solon (32-9) has hit 30 home runs and 88 doubles while stealing 175 bases, scoring 327 runs and hitting .384 as a team. All of those numbers rank in the top four in 3A. Senior Monika Bevins leads the way with a .535 average, 12 home runs and 74 RBIs. Senior Sydney Lawson is hitting .522 with four home

runs, 24 RBIs, 39 steals and 65 runs on the season. The Spartans have two other players hitting better than .430 and another player hitting .397.

“They crush the ball, and they run the bases well,” Coach Houge said. “It will come down to fielding bunts and hitting our spots. I will see what I can find out about their weaknesses and see what pitcher matches up better with those weaknesses.

“It’s supposed to be hot up there, too. We may have to use both pitchers. There will be a lot of factors, but either one of them will do a great job of keeping it close. We just need to find out if we can get an edge somewhere.”

CMB, which has won a school-record 25 games this season, won’t have to face Ira on Tuesday. Ira finished last year 28-2 with a .53 ERA and 363 strikeouts. The Spartans’ best pitcher in 2016 is sophomore McKenna Miller, who is 20-4 with 106 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.55.

Solon had to scratch and claw its way back to the state tournament. The Spartans needed extra innings to eliminate Williamsburg in the quarterfinals, held off Roland-Story 12-9 in the semifinals and rallied past Center Point-Urbana in the regional final.

Solon trailed Center Point-Urbana 3-1 after four innings but rallied for a 6-3 win.

“It proves that they can be defeated. It shows that they are not unbeatable,” Jurgens said about the close wins. “We beat Roland-Story twice so we know it should be a close game.”

Aside from being the defending champions and being ranked higher than CMB, the Spartans also have an advantage over the Raiders when it comes to experience.

“They have the experience of playing at state, and we don’t,” Coach Houge said. “So how we handle playing on that stage is going to be key. They

play at state almost every year, so they know what to expect.”

Mikayla Houge was on a similar stage last year when she led the Central Iowa Little League softball team to the Little League World Series and played on ESPN. She hopes the Raiders can find a way to block out the noise and focus on the game.

“You just have to focus on the game and not worry about what’s going on around you,” Mikayla Houge said. “I am sure we’ll have lots of support.

We just need to play our game.

I think we have a great shot.”

There will be a pep rally for the CMB softball team after Monday’s practice at the softball fields in Collins. That is expected to start around 6 p.m. The Raiders team bus leaves for Fort Dodge at 9 a.m.

Tuesday.

“I am looking forward to walking out and getting my name announced. That always looked cool to me,” Kahler said. “We just need to stay relaxed and play our game. It’s just another game but with a lot more people watching.”

Ritter added, “This has been my goal since I was brought up to the varsity my eighth-grade year. I knew this team had the potential. It’s been hard, but it’s been worth it.”

CMB enters the state tournament with the third-longest winning streak among teams in the 3A field.

Assumption has won 25 games in a row, Benton has a 24-game win streak and the Raiders are winners of five straight and eight of their last nine.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B Josh Dunsbergen allowed one hit in his one inning of work.

“We knew they we’re a well coached ball club and figured we’d see Barnett on the mound,” Hawk head coach Bob Scandridge said. “We also figured we could play with them after watching them play the other night.”

Scandridge said Van Zante pitched an awesome game. The Hawks have focused all season on playing solid defense, he said.

“We played a clean baseball game tonight on defense,” Scandridge said. “It came down to inches and feet on a couple of hits in sixth inning.

I’m proud of our kids and wouldn’t trade them for any team in the state.”

Martensdale-St. Marys broke the scoreless tie in the fourth inning when Barnett doubled off the left field wall. A sacrifice moved Barnett to third then he scored on a ground-out to second base.

Lynnville-Sully senior Kobe Fisk evened the score on one swing to open the fifth inning. Fisk deposited a Barnett pitch over the left field wall. Senior Kyle Van Dyke drew a walk and was on second base with two gone.

Junior Caden Dunsbergen reached on a drop third-strike play.

Blue Devil catcher Noah Catron threw high to first base and the error allowed Van Dyke to score the go-ahead run.

The Blue Devils’ Aaron Allsup led off their half of the fifth with a single to center field. An

errant throw by Hawk catcher Caden Dunsbergen on a stolen base attempt by Brendan Langloss was high.

Fisk, who played center field, scooped up the ball and threw a strike to Hawk third baseman Josh Dunsbergen, who tagged Langloss out.

The play saved a run as MSM had two straight hits then two ground outs to end the inning.

Lynnville-Sully had two on with two out in the sixth when Gavin replaced Barnett on the mound for the Blue Devils. He struck out Van Dyke to quash the scoring threat by the Hawks.

After Barnett reached third in the bottom of the sixth, Catron singled to drive in the tying run at 2-2. Gavin and Grant Crowell singled to load the bases. The Hawks’ Van Zante gave way to Josh Dunsbergen on the

hill.

Nicholas Devore delivered an RBI base hit to put the Devils on top.

A one-out sacrifice fly to center field by Matt Holt plated a third run in the inning.

Fisk had a single and a home run for the Hawks. Van Zante and sophomore Elijah Collins each had a single.

Seniors Fisk, Van Dyke, Noah Engle and Ross Van Wyk — all starters — played their final game for Lynnville-Sully.

“I’m proud to be a Lynnville-Sully Hawk. I’m going to miss it,” Engle said after the game. “The seniors left a foundation for the team. Tonight, the better team won.”

Engle said the Hawks started the season better than he thought they would because he thought they’d be rusty.

He said the team had inconsistent play during

the season.

“But we kept fighting to win games. Against Colfax-Mingo Tuesday in the district tournament, I thought it was the best baseball game we’ve played,” Engle said.

Van Zante leads a young pitching staff back next year. He said Lynnville-Sully returns all its pitchers.

“We clean up the bats and next year, I think we could make a deep run in postseason,” Van Zante said.

Scandridge said three years ago when he returned as head coach, the goal was set to move the Hawk baseball program forward and earn the respectability for it.

“We’ve done that. These kids have worked hard.

Our senior crew put in a lot of work to help move us forward. These kids have a great passion for the game,” Scandridge said. “We’re a

We have kids who really love baseball and it makes
