Council to consider new rescue engine purchase

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new rescue engine and tanker are up for approval by the Newton City Council at its Monday meeting. Pierce Manufacturing had the lowest bid of $699,556 which would be paid for from the fiscal year 2015-2016 bonding project.

During the budget process for fiscal year 2015-2016, the Newton Fire Department provided information about needing to replace vehicles. Two of the vehicles were a rescue engine and tanker as well as an ambulance and Fire Marshal/utility vehicle. Those four vehicles were approved for replacement through the bonding issue.

The fire department

worked with three local vendors on specifications that were inclusive of the needs and generic enough to allow for all bidders to be able to provide an accurate proposal.

Bidding opened up at 4 p.m. July 8. Three bids were received for the tankers and two bids for the rescue engine. Of the three bids for the tanker, one was considered structurally inaccurate and therefore did not meet the requirements.

The department chose Pierce Manufacturing and its bid of $699,556 with no performance bond. A performance bond is typically required to ensure the completion of the project should the contractor experience issues COUNCIL | 3A

JCARL director hopes to renovate, build up volunteers and donations Waterloo native wants to plan out events months in advance

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason Brooks/Daily News A proposed new rescue engine and tanker purchased from the Newton Fire Department will go before the Newton City Council Monday.

Sarah Siperstein says she has fairly thick skin. That’s an important attribute, considering the sharp teeth around her.

Siperstein took over as the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and Humane Society director in late April. Not only is she around the sharp teeth of the dogs, cats and other animals that come into the shelter, but also the biting criticism and sharp emotions that sometimes go with running an animal rescue league.

“I’m still learning a lot each day,” Siperstein said. “This can be a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants kind of role, at times. But you figure out how to do more with less, and how to find more

resources.”

The Waterloo native brought home many stray animals while growing up. After attending the University of Northern Iowa, serving in the active-duty military and then working for a year as a truck driver, Siperstein applied for some rescue-league jobs and was offered the job as the Jasper County director almost immediately after interviewing.

Siperstein is a nationally certified vet tech and still serves in the Army National Guard.

“When I took this job, I knew fundraising and finding volunteers were both very important,” she said. “But I didn’t realize those two elements were so huge.

So much of what we do involves planning ways to raise money, and finding money where there doesn’t seem to be any.”

The 29-year-old director said there are pros and cons to not being from the area. She’s a new face with a fresh outlook, with no preconceived idea of what JCARL is or what it has been in the past, but she also is still getting familiar with funding sources and places that troubled animals have frequently been discovered.

“People don’t realize how important it is to have connections, to know where to go to get things,” Siperstein said. “I am pretty much cold-calling people at times, asking if they’ll donate.”

JCARL sets up at a number of community events, including regular appearances at Newton’s Family Video store and Saturday’s race events at nearby Iowa Speedway, where the rescue league has been chosen to sell 50-50 raffle tickets. Volunteers are still needed at the Speedway and at all events, Siperstein said.

In Brief Bergman named to Grinnell College dean’s list

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The cast of “Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat” was all costumed up for the July 10 K-4 performance of the Newton Community Theatre’s Children’s Summer Workshop. The middle-school and high-school groups are set to perform plays for the public on July 31. In front are Katelyn Cope, left, and David Cope.

Community Theatre helps youngest actors develop skills Middle-school, high-school groups to perform July 31

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When last week’s play productions began at the Newton Community Theatre, there were likely some nervous young actors on stage.

Those nerves would easily be understood by most of the spectators. After all, some of the actors and actresses have only been on the planet for about five years.

That’s why Melinda Worthington seems excited to be helping young actors gain stage experience. The Newton Community Theatre Children’s Summer Workshop allows schoolage children to participate in short productions, complete with costumes.

Last week, the youngest group completed its three-week workshop with a Friday-night production, as children who have just completed kindergarten through the fourth grade showed off their skills. This week, the fifth- through eighth-graders are beginning their three-week workshop, and both that group and a high-school group will present productions on July 31.

“With the grades K-4 group, one big difference was having only two weeks to work with,”

Worthington said. “The middle group has three weeks, whereas the high-schoolers have four to six weeks.”

Naturally, the youngest performers needed the most guidance, and the older high-school and college-age performers were around to help assist with their instruction. The K-4 finished out their workshop last Friday night with three performances Worthington described as having elaborate costumes, and, especially, sets.

They performed three short one-act pieces, entitled “Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat,” “How The Camel Got His Hump” and “Snow White.” “All three went by very quickly,” Worthington said.

The grades 5-8 group will be performing a adapted play called “Sinbad” that culls from the tales of Arabian Knights, but with some unique twists that allow for hijinks. Worthington said the play, written by Craig Sodaro, is mostly a flashback to Sinbad’s earlier times and adventures.

There is a scene where Sinbad needs to escape from Paradise Island, as a society of cannibals had tasty plans for him. He also ends up on Diamond Island, inhabited only by women pirates, who shrink humans down into

Barbie-doll-like toys.

Many of the grades 5-8 actors are veteran performers who have been in at least one Berg Middle School production directed by Worthington. The high-school group will perform a fractured fairy tale called “Little Red Robin Hood.”

In the farce, Little Red Riding Hood takes a comical detour through Robin Hood’s Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, and runs into characters from other stories along the way. Worthington said the high-school group is using the full usual six weeks to rehearse.

The July 31 dual production is set to begin at 6 p.m. Each student’s fee for the workshop allowed for two complimentary tickets per student, and tickets will also be available at the door for $5 each. Worthington said parent volunteers are needed and welcome.

Each young person was required to try out for parts, and was given a script and asked to learn their lines before the first day of rehearsals. Maxine Clark, who is about to enter the fifth grade, said she’s been acting since before she was old enough for regular school.

“I really like acting,” Clark said. “I’ve been in a lot of plays, but mostly just as an extra person.”

the origin and cultural history of Henna tattoos, the uses of henna, a tutorial on how to make henna paste and draw tattoos and warnings against “black” henna, a dangerous version of henna which uses black hair dye as an ingredient.

Newton Public Library Youth Services Librarian Phyllis Peter said she and Public Services Librarian, Nicole Lindstrom, heard of other libraries in Iowa providing programs on henna and thought it would be a fun activity for teens.

“It just sounded like a different program to try and to expose us to a different culture,” Peter said. “I think they [teens at program] are really interested, especially in learning about the history and culture of henna, and how it is an all-natural source.”

Henna, made from the tropic-native henna tree, has been dated to use in 1,000 B.C. to temporarily dye skin, hair and fingernails, as well as fabrics such as silk, wool and leather.

Historically, henna was used for cosmetic purposes in Ancient India, Arabia and Africa. Henna has been used by people across the world, but in the presentation Norman said it is not sacred or spiritual in any religion or culture.

Because it is difficult to form intricate patterns from coarse crushed leaves, henna is commonly traded as a powder made by drying, milling and sifting the leaves. The dry powder is mixed with water, lemon juice or strong tea and other ingredients, depending on the tradition. Many artists use sugar or molasses in the paste to improve consistency and keep it stuck to the skin better. The paste can be applied with many traditional and innovative tools, starting with a basic stick or twig.

A light stain can be achieved within minutes, but the longer the paste is left on the skin, the darker and longer lasting the stain will be, so it needs to be left on as long as possible. To prevent it from drying or falling off the skin, the paste is often sealed down by dabbing a sugar and water mix over the dried paste. After time, the dry paste is simply brushed or scraped away. Henna stains are orange when the paste is first

Speaking of the Speedway, the track is an important source of community revenue and great fun for many humans, but summer race weekends pose one of the many unique challenges the shelter faces.

Much like fireworks, the roar of nearby racing cars riles up the animals — especially the dogs.

“We try to calm them down with what are called ‘thundershirts,’” Siperstein said. “Those are tight-fitting dog shirts that tend to calm the animal down, like a tight hug, when there are thunder, fireworks or other loud noises.”

Siperstein only has facilities manager Corissa Mapes, a receptionist and one animal control officer as her paid staff. A second animal control officer is set to begin this week. She said the hard work of the convicts who are a part of work-release program is essential.

“If it weren’t for the work-release people, we would probably have to close,” she said.

Savannah Eadens/Daily News Asha Stonebraker shows the henna design Norman drew. The Newton Public Library hosted a special ‘Henna’ program for teens Thursday.

removed, but darkens over the following three days to a deep reddish brown.

Norman first tried henna with a close friend, when she was pregnant with her third child.

“My first experience with henna was special and amazing,” Norman said. “I then did a henna design for my friend when she was pregnant a few months later. I started learning about henna after that and really enjoyed it.”

Norman, a mother of four, later said she has always craved some sort of creative outlet, and henna is likely the outlet that “is here to stay for awhile.” Norman said she first slowly started doing henna for people that asked for it, and eventually started her business in 2011.

“My favorite part about henna is that when I make a design, it marks a moment, and when that moment passes, the henna fades,” Norman said. “I love the emotions that are attached with henna ... It’s a very calming experience.”

Norman said that although it helps to have some sort of artistic ability, anyone can do henna designs.

“Henna is applicable in so many ways and in so many cultures,” she said.

“Anyone can learn how to do it.”

Peter said the library plans to provide another program in the fall for adults interested in learning about henna.

Siperstein handles administrative duties, while Mapes heads up the animal side of the day-to-day operation of the rescue. The shelter is pressed for space, and has cages in nearly every possible room and indoor space, keeping euthanization to an absolute minimum.

Siperstein said she’s aware rescue directors tend to burn out quickly, and it’s important to have a longrange plan and be flexible. She’d like to see the league’s events planned out about four months in advance, and she’d like to get a separate garage built and new tile installed.

There is a roller-coaster ride of emotions for many employees and volunteers in the rescue industry.

Siperstein said she tries to remain as level-headed as possible and focus on the next important task ahead.

“What makes me sad are the people who can’t afford to care for an animal, or those that don’t see the value of animals,” she said. “What makes me happy are seeing animals go to great homes.”

In the Neighborhood

A perfect fit

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 17, 2015

It’s impossible for a combination of Rodgers and Hammerstein music composed for the classic story of Cinderella to be anything but magical.

I had the pleasure of going to opening night of “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella” at the Des Moines Civic Center Tuesday. The house was packed with an eager audience of all ages ranging from 3 to 93.

For those who don’t know, this version of the story differs from the Disney classic that many have grown up watching. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II originally penned the music and story for a television production in 1957 starring Julie Andrews in the title role. It has been adapted and changed in the years since; in 2013, it was made into a Broadway production. It is this version that was performed in Iowa this week.

The new book for the stage production brings some contemporary touches to the classic story. Of course, the story follows Ella, dubbed Cinderella by her cantankerous stepmother and self-centered stepsisters.

Despite her life of oppression, Ella remains kind and compas-

sionate toward others, even to her step-family.

Prince Christopher (Topher for short) is returning to his kingdom for his coronation.

His parents died when he was a boy, and he was shielded from the kingdom by his prime minister and mentor, Sebastian, who was ruling in his stead. The prince is naive and his inexperience causes him to question who he really is.

The overall story remains the same, but there are a few surprising twists that allow this version to stand on its own.

The humor that was woven into the story was delightful, especially humor at unexpected moments.

The on-stage transformations, which happen right in front of the audience eyes are a tremendous feat: the first appearance of the Fairy Godmother, changing a pumpkin into a carriage and more. The best was Cinderella’s dress change — from rags to riches in the blink of an eye. The transition to the beautiful, white ball gown was so seamless I still didn’t quite believe what I was seeing.

In an unexpected twist, when

Cinderella is fleeing the castle at midnight, she loses her slipper, as she should, but has time to pick it up before continuing her flight. I was shocked. How was Prince Topher to find her?

The answer was to have another event — a banquet this time.

In order to see the prince again, Ella first finds help in an unexpected place. One of her step sisters, Gabrielle, turns out to be more compassionate than her mother and sister. Gabrielle discovers Cinderella’s secret; but instead of telling her mother, she helps keep it along with a secret of her own. But the well-made plans go awry, causing Cinderella to need her Fairy Godmother once more.

It is as she is fleeing the banquet that Cinderella loses her famous glass slipper. Only this time, it’s no accident. She leaves it as a test to see if the prince will love her when he sees her for who she really is.

All the ladies of the kingdom try on the slipper; but, of course, it only fits one.

The Cinderella story is a love story, but the stage version brought more than love at first sight. Ella found moments at the ball and the banquet to talk

to Topher about the struggles of the kingdom, helping him figure out who he truly is. She helps him become a leader and not just a prince. She does it all by sharing her kindness and compassion. Any person who can forgive those who treated her like a servant for most of her life would make an excellent ruler and help a prince become a true king.

For me, the best part about the production was Paige Faure. She brought Cinderella to life and not just a cutout of the classic character. She was her on stage. Her joy in the role shines through and remains strong after nearly two years in the role.

Cinderella is a story where dreams come true. It shows that it doesn’t matter where you come from, but who you are as a person that matters most. It’s not hard to see why this story remains popular and gets told over and over again in new ways. The story of Cinderella and this musical is a perfect fit for any true romantic.

The Uprising

Silicon Valley emerges as a political force

Part 1: Newton’s street names

By Ken Barthelman Jasper County Historical Museum It’s well known that Newton streets received their current names in around 1911, but determining how the changes came about has proven to be a little more elusive. Using the library’s Newton Daily News microfilm archives and headlines of the era, we’ll travel back in time and follow along. Feel free to hiss and boo certain suggestions, as many residents undoubtedly did at the time.

Oct. 10, 1911 — CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSED MANY VITAL QUESTIONS – “The matter of naming the streets was referred to the street and alley committee. Some discussion has been made of the advisability of renaming and numbering the streets so that people may be more easily directed to a given place in the city. The matter lies in the hands of councilmen Coon, Warner and Jackson”.

Oct. 13, 1911 — A CHINESE PLAN OF STREET NAMING MAY OBTAIN HERE – This was the reaction to the committee’s plan to rename Main (First Avenue) as 50th Avenue with avenues to the north being identified as 49th, 48th, etc. Avenues to the south would be 51st, 52nd, etc. Spring Street (First Street) would be 50th Street with numbers increasing to the east and de-

creasing to the west. The article indicated that Newton might be a city in China rather than America with that style of numbering.

Oct. 14, 1911 — STREET NAMING IDEA RECENTLY DEVISED MEETS WITH MUCH DISFAVOR. Nov. 7, 1911 — NEWTON SOON TO BE KNOWN AS THE CITY OF HIGH NUMBERED STREETS – “The city did the unexpected and passed a motion for the city solicitor to draw an ordinance based on the committee plan.” Committee member Coon voted against the motion.

Nov. 8, 1911 — THE BUSINESS MEN OF NEWTON FERNINST STREET NAMING SYSTEM — Note to Scrabble devotees: ferninst will score 61 points for you and probably impress your competitors. A few of the comments about the approved motion included, Charles Hunt-

er: “Most any plan would beat it;” F.L. Vernon: “I believe a remonstrance (66 Scrabble points) from the business men should be presented to the council next Monday evening;” L.D. Baum: “It’s the worst I ever heard” and Vern Roberts: “I would hate to be in a councilman’s shoes.”

Nov. 9, 1911 — BUSINESS MEN ASK COUNCIL TO ABANDON THE NEW FANGLED STREET NAMES. Nov. 11, 1911 — NUMEROUS PLANS OFFERED IN STREET NAMING PERPLEXITY — Among plans suggested was one called the “Fort Dodge” plan, and although it took another committee reviewing more than 900 suggestions and a fair amount of time to actually be put into use, that plan is what we have today.

TO BE CONTINUED. Stay tuned to learn, among other things, were the councilmen re-elected? What were a few of the more than 900 suggestions the new committee received?

And when did businesses actually start using the new names?

You can receive your own 1901 Newton map PDF with the original names, high-numbered names and today’s names by emailing a request to director@ jaspercountymuseum.com. You can buy an 11”x12” color copy at the museum for $2.50 to cover photo paper and printing costs.

When Jeb Bush visited Silicon Valley this week, the Republican candidate was visiting the heart of a Democratic state that few expect to be contested in the 2016 By David Sirota presidential election. But when it comes to the political money chase, the Northern California home of the world’s technology giants spreads the wealth to both parties — positioning the tech industry as one of the most powerful forces in American politics.

Since 2008, the Internet firms, software companies, computer manufacturers and data processors that comprise Silicon Valley have delivered more than $172 million worth of campaign contributions in federal elections, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. That’s a nearly 40 percent increase over the prior 8 years. Counting only presidential election years, the increase is even more dramatic: The $109 million of Silicon Valley money pumped into the 2008 and 2012 elections represents a 61 percent increase from 2004 and 2000.

Out of the money given directly to candidates (as opposed to third party groups) since 2008, Democrats have received 62 percent of the contributions. But Republicans’ 37 percent in that same time was hardly pocket change — it translated into a whopping $55 million.

In a vacuum, these figures may seem unimportant. But in context, they are astounding. All of a sudden, Silicon Valley has surpassed many traditional political powerhouses as a source of campaign

cash. Specifically, in the last election cycle, technology firms delivered more money to candidates for president and Congress than defense contractors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, the automotive industry and Hollywood.

“Silicon Valley woke up to the importance of influencing public policy,” said Stanford University’s Vivek Wadhwa.

In 2012, that influence was on display when Internet firms notched an unexpected victory over the Hollywood studios that were pushing legislation to hold Internet companies responsible for the illegal transmission of pirated movies and television shows. Despite the so-called Stop Online Piracy Act being backed by the powerful Motion Picture Association of America, the bill was defeated by tech firms’ furious lobbying campaign against the measure.

Of Silicon Valley’s ability to defeat Hollywood-backed legislation, MPAA chairman Chris Dodd said at the time: “It’s a watershed event, what happened.”

While the power shift toward Silicon Valley is significant, it should not be altogether surprising.

Information technology is becoming ever more integral to American society.

And the tech industry’s millionaires and billionaires are ready to take their place as political powerbrokers, in much the same way oil and railroad barons represented new political power more than a century ago.

The implications of that revolution are profound not just for campaign fundraising, but ultimately for a whole new generation of public policy.

10 Tips to Help You Save on Summer Cooling Costs DES MOINES — With the thermometer expected to top 90 degrees this week, air conditioners will be working longer and harder to deal with the heat and humidity. MidAmerican Energy Company offers customers 10 tips to beat the heat while making their homes and small businesses more energy efficient: • Get it online: You can complete a free home energy assessment online at www.midamericanenergy. com/homeaudit. Find out where your home uses the most energy, and what you can do to reduce your consumption.

• Roll it out: Make sure your home has adequate insulation in the attic, exterior walls, floors, basement and crawl spaces.

• Set it smart: Keep your thermostat set at 78 degrees or higher during the summer to save on your energy bill. A programmable thermostat that raises the setting five or

more degrees when you’re away and 3 or 4 degrees when you’re asleep allows you to save even more.

• Keep it up: Have your cooling system serviced once a year to keep it operating efficiently. Change your air filters regularly — dirty filters make your system work harder than necessary, which requires more energy.

• Buy it right: Install ENERGY STAR lighting and appliances in your home. ENERGY STAR light bulbs use 75 percent less energy and last up to 25 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs, plus you might qualify for rebates on your purchase.

• Keep out shine: Close draperies, shades and blinds on hot, sunny days to keep the interior of your house cooler.

• Keep it clear: Make sure air registers aren’t blocked by furniture, rugs, draperies or other objects.

Dust or vacuum your registers on a

regular basis. You can also use portable fans or ceiling fans to increase the movement of cool air in your home.

• Turn it off: Some electronics and appliances use energy the entire time they’re plugged in, even when turned off. Consider unplugging these items when not in use to reduce your annual electricity consumption by 4 to 7 percent.

• Dry it out: Use bath and kitchen exhaust fans to rid your home of humidity from showering and cooking, but remember to turn them off as soon as you finish those activities.

• Let it wait: Plan to use heat-generating appliances such as ovens and dishwashers during the cool of the late evening or early morning. Hang clothes to dry or cook outdoors and avoid turning on appliances at all.

Secret engagement should stay secret awhile longer

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating my boyfriend, “Derek,” for four years.

After a night of emotion-filled discussion, he asked me to marry him. I said yes, but it has always been a difficult idea for me to wrap my head around.

I’m turning 21 and although that may be old enough for some people to get married and have kids, it scares the heck out of me.

I love Derek and I want to marry him one day. He assured me we could stay “engaged” for a few years, but it still makes me uneasy. We don’t have a ring yet, and we agreed we wouldn’t tell our families until we get one. It doesn’t feel real because there’s no ring and no one knows — could that be why I’m so nervous?

I need a second opinion and some advice on whether to wait to tell anyone or tell people now. — COLD FEET DEAR COLD FEET: An engagement with no ring and no announcement hardly seems like an engagement at all. That’s why you and Derek should rethink making any announcements until you BOTH feel ready to take such a big step. When the time is right, the idea of marriage and children will make you feel happy, not frightened.

Frankly, I think your fears may be well founded because you have had little life experience — and once the ball starts rolling, stopping it may be complicated. That’s why you and Derek should remain in a holding pattern until you are more confident about what you want to do.

DEAR ABBY: Although I am not considered bad looking, I’m not extremely beautiful either. Guys find my friends prettier than me.

For a few years I have been thinking about getting a nose job. My parents say I need to wait for all my facial features to adjust to my growing body to prevent facial disfigurement in the future. I think that’s just an excuse.

When is the right age to get a nose job?

— ALABAMA TEEN

DEAR TEEN: This is a question that should be answered by your personal physician. You didn’t state your age, but I don’t think your parents are stalling. According to WebMD, it is very important that before a young person has a nose job the facial bones have reached “adult size.” The usual age for girls’ noses to mature is 15 or 16.

(Interestingly, for boys it is a year or so later.)

DEAR ABBY: My father had a son with a woman while he was dating my mother. Mom made Dad choose between her and his son. He chose Mom, and has had no contact with the boy.

Dad doesn’t want to interfere with his now-grown son’s life. I, on the other hand, would love to reach out and meet my half-brother. Would it be overstepping boundaries if I do this?

— SOMEONE’S SIBLING IN MICHIGAN DEAR SOMEONE’S SIBLING: I’d be curious to know how you became aware of your half-brother’s existence, because I’ll bet the topic wasn’t discussed in your home. While I might have no objection to you reaching out to your half-sibling — because I am not emotionally involved — your mother will feel betrayed and angry. If you decide to move forward, be prepared.

TO MY MUSLIM READERS: It is time for the breaking of the Ramadan fast. Happy Eid al-Fitr, everyone.

AMES — A man police have been looking for since April on suspicion of false imprisonment and threatening reporters in Le Grand has been arrested in Ames.

USDA: Many factors considered amid animal disease outbreaks

By David Pitt The Associated Press DES MOINES — The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Thursday that it considers many factors when determining ways to euthanize large numbers of animals during a disease outbreak, and said it was reviewing an animal rights group’s criticism of a recent proposal for fighting any future outbreaks of bird flu.

The agency released the brief statement in response to a letter from the Humane Society

of The United States, which criticized a plan outlined last week by USDA Chief Veterinary Officer John Clifford during a Senate committee hearing.

Clifford said shutting off ventilation systems to poultry barns when the highly contagious disease is found may be more humane and efficient than gassing or using foam to suffocate the birds. The two methods were used earlier this year when bird flu forced poultry producers to kill tens of millions of chickens and turkeys na-

tionwide, mostly in Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri.

“It’s the fastest way and probably the most humane way to take care of this,” Clifford said during the July 7 hearing.

The Humane Society of the United States, which opposes largescale animal agriculture, said in a letter sent Thursday to the USDA that the latest idea amounts to “essentially baking the birds to death en masse.” The group said the method was gruesome and should be scrapped.

Documents: More than $100K spent on medical cannabis cards DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s medical cannabis oil program has cost the state more than $100,000 to create and issue registration cards to about 50 people, even as the effort has faced criticism that it’s

cumbersome and largely useless. The Legislature last year approved a law that allows residents to use oil derived from the cannabis plant to treat chronic epilepsy and to set up a system for peo-

ple to obtain registration cards. To implement the law, the Iowa Department of Transportation last fall asked Massachusetts-based MorphoTrust USA to design and create the cards.

Defense rests in Iowa man’s lottery trial DES MOINES (AP) — Three siblings of a former lottery worker accused of rigging a Hot Lotto game testified on his behalf Thursday before his defense rested its case.

Attorneys for 52-year-old Eddie Tipton presented testimony for about an hour, Des Moines television station KCCI reported. Closing arguments are scheduled Friday.

Tipton, a former information security director for the Multi-State Lottery Association, is accused of in-

stalling a computer program to pick numbers for a December 2010 Hot Lotto drawing. Prosecutors say he bought a ticket with those numbers and unsuccessfully tried to get others to cash the $14 million prize without disclosing the buyer.

Tipton’s job prohibited him from buying a ticket. He faces two counts of fraud and denies the accusations. Defense attorney Dean Stowers told jurors there’s no evidence linking Tipton to people who tried to claim the ticket.

Hawks take their brand of softball to 1A state Lynnville-Sully faces River Valley in opening round

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Don’t talk to Lynnville-Sully head coach Stacey Alberts about records or seedings going into a state softball tournament.

Alberts and the fourth-ranked Hawks know it comes down to one game at a time and every one of the other seven teams is a tough opponent.

“Or they wouldn’t be at state,” Alberts said.

“We go into the state tournament just like we play our season — one pitch, one at-bat, one batter, one out, one inning and one game at a time. You can’t get caught looking ahead.”

The Hawks go into the 2015 Iowa Class 1A State Softball Tournament as the No. 2 seed.

They face ninth-ranked River Valley (26-7) in the opening round at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday on Mittera Field at Harlan

and Hazel Rogers Park in Fort Dodge.

Finding our groove

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Caden Dunsbergen is ready for contact at the plate. Dunsbergen singled and scored a run in Thursday’s Class 1A district semifinal game against Iowa Valley in Sully. Lynnville-Sully lost 4-2 to end its season.

Hawks fall to Tigers in 1A district semifinal

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Two days after posting their first postseason victory in seven years, Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks challenged Iowa Valley’s Tigers in a Class 1A District 11 semifinal game Thursday. The Hawk baseball team came up short of advancing in the tournament, losing 4-2.

“It was a really good baseball game tonight. I’m very proud of our kids,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Bob Scandridge said. “That’s a very good Iowa Valley team, and our guys bat-

tled right to the end. We had a lot of positive things come out of tonight’s game and the season as a whole.”

The Hawks and Tigers are very familiar foes coming out of the South Iowa Cedar League. Iowa Valley (186) was second in the SICL regular season and Lynnville-Sully (14-12) finished in a bunch of 12-7 and 12-8 teams fitting into the third through six spots in the conference.

Lynnville-Sully out hit Iowa Valley, nine hits to seven hits, in the game.

Race car drivers talk a lot of finding the right groove on a certain track. They are looking for the optima line for their cars to go fast.

All of us strive for the optima line in our lives. I’m starting to get my groove here in Iowa. There’s no question, I’m a Kansas girl and always will be — wishing I was closer to family in my home state. By Jocelyn With that said, I’m Sheets comfortable with the Newton Daily decision I was forced News to make two years ago Sports Editor — to find a new job.

Things are different, but they stay much the same for sports writers.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

In a week chocked full of activity for the Newton Daily News sports staff, I’ve been under the weather a bit and didn’t get to a couple of playoff games. Sorry on that account, but the games were reported in our sports pages.

We’ve been juggling high school softball and baseball and previews for the third of four great race weekends at Iowa Speedway.

Hitting their groove and finding a strong line back to the Iowa Class 1A State Softball Tournament were the Lynnville-Sully Hawks. The Hawks go fast on the base paths. If an opposing player doesn’t pay attention, the Hawks are off and running to the next base. More often than not, the Hawk runner is safe.

The Hawks begin their third straight state tournament Tuesday.

Their sights — as are those of the other seven teams — are on the 2015 state championship.

I have to make a shout out to the Kansas City Royals, specifically the players voted to the 2015 MLB AllStar Game. Those guys found their grooves and helped the AL win the game.

There was such an uproar about how dare Royals fans destroy the American League’s chance to have homefield advantage in the World Series by voting so many of the Kansas City players as starters. The Royals dominated the All-Star fan vote and there was no Royal letdown in Tuesday’s game.

Royals players had three of the

AL’s seven hits including Lorenzo Cain’s big RBI double. Hey world, you don’t think the Kansas City team and fans understand the importance of homefield advantage in the World Series? The Royals were the American League champions last year.

They know.

I’ve done telephone interviews with former winners at Iowa Speedway in the Verizon IndyCar Series including Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay, both of Andretti Autosport. Andretti Autosport drivers seem to have found the right grooves on the Newton race track, winning five straight IndyCar races and six of the eight races at the track.

Hunter-Reay has two IndyCar victories at Iowa Speed- Hunter-Reay way, including last year. He said Andretti drivers have found a good setup for the cars over the years, which have been good.

But, that all changes in 2015, he said, with the new aero kits for the cars.

“It will be a challenge this year,” Hunter-Reay said. “I’ve won twice there, but it will be difficult to keep that streak going because of the new body on the cars. I’ve not had the year I wanted so far. It’s crunch time with only four races remaining.

We’re hoping Iowa is key to helping us turn things in the right direction.”

Hunter-Reay and his team will come to Iowa Speedway Friday for practice runs to find the setup and the groove the No. 28 DHL Honda will run fast and at its optima.

“I love short track racing, and Iowa lends itself to some best racing on our series schedule,” Hunter-Reay said. “You do look for the right line on a track, and every track is different. A track changes throughout the weekend as cars log more laps and temperature changes.

“All that opens up lines on the track. There’s usually two grooves at Iowa. As a driver, you decide which line is best for you and the car is setup for that.”

So, whatever your passion is, go out and find your groove.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Jordan Spieth wasted no time seizing a rare opportunity to chase a Grand Slam, opening with six birdies in 11 holes at St. Andrews and keeping his name high on the leaderboard in the British Open. And so did a familiar foe — Dustin Johnson.

Johnson had a oneshot lead over six players, shooting a 65. Spieth and Louis Oosthuizen, who won the last tiwere among those two shots back at 67.

There will be a new Class 1A champion as top-ranked and 2014 champion Akron-Westfield lost in a regional championship game Monday.

Which team knocked it off?

Yes, River Valley. The Wolverines’ sophomore Makenna Thomas hit a two-run walkoff home run to lead River Valley to a 2-1 win over Akron-Westfield and into the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union’s state softball tournament.

“We know River Valley is a young, talented team with very strong offensive numbers,” Alberts said. “They are similar to a couple of teams we played this season. They have several power hitters in their lineup.”

Thomas leads the Wolverines with eight home runs and 46 RBIs and has a batting average of .423. Junior Jenna Knaak leads River Valley with a .442 batting average and 13 doubles while junior Payton Goettsch has 14 dou-

The Redbirds edged out the Central Iowa Spartans, 5-4, with Darren Revell, Taylor Greiner and Ryan Barr sharing the pitching duties for Newton. Cole Webster, Josh Miller, Matt Moran, Barr and Greiner each scored a run.

Thomas is one of two sophomore pitchers for River Valley. She is 11-5 with a 3.47 earned run average with 71 strikeouts. Alycen Knaack is 15-2 on the season with a 1.48 ERA and 68 strikeouts.

But don’t forget about Lynnville-Sully’s strong offensive numbers — junior second baseman Kasiah Ehresman stands second among hitters going into the 1A tournament at .548 and senior pitcher Madison Rasmusson is fifth at .512. As a team the Hawks have a .374 batting average and 25 home runs while Iowa Valley is .359 and 16 home runs.

“We’ll stick with what we do well.

We’re aggressive in every phase of the game,” Alberts said. “We gave the girls some time off and began practicing this morning (Wednesday). My job now is to push the pace in practices conducive to to get us ready for state tournament play.

“We’ll give them the weekend off because a lot of them are balancing other life activities with softball right now. Come Monday, we’ll get back into our routine, and we’ll be ready Tuesday.”

Rasmusson is Lynnville-Sully’s ace in the pitching circle. She is 33-3 on the season with a 1.09 ERA, which is third best among state tournament pitchers. Rasmusson has only issued five walks in 211 1/3 innings of work this season. She has 153 strikeouts.

“I focus everything on the game and have fun out there,” Rasmusson said.

“You are suppose to have fun playing the game, and it is fun. We’re all very excited about another opportunity to win a state championship. That’s what we’re working for.”

Sophomore catcher Lizzy Van Manen leads the Hawks with 11 doubles, plus she has hit five triples and four home runs. She is second in team RBIs with 43, hitting at .451.

Senior center fielder Lysandra James had powered out six home runs and delivered eight doubles. She has a .362 batting average with 31 RBIs. Sophomore Brenna Lanser has six home runs and nine doubles with a .373 batting average.

“We just couldn’t string enough together, especially hits at times we had base runners,” Scandridge said.

Iowa Valley, which was the home team on the scoreboard, scored the first run of the game in the third inning. It could have been more, but the Hawk defense delivered the two rundowns in the inning.

It was a 1-1 game, when the Tigers strung things together to score three runs in the fourth inning.

Lynnville-Sully had tied the game up in the top of the frame on a one-out single by senior Caleb James and a balk moving James to second base followed by RBI base hit by junior Kobe Fisk. Fisk was tagged out trying to go to second on the play. The Hawks had two more singles in the

inning. The scoring threat ended on a fly ball out.

Iowa Valley’s Gavin Collingwood and Andrew Henry had back-to-back singles to right field with one gone in the bottom of the fourth. Henry ended up at second on a throw to third base on the play. Josh Jordan ripped out a two-run base hit and scored on a single by Dylan Healey.

With two gone in the fourth, Scandridge made a pitching change. Sophomore Tyler Van Zante gave way to James. Van Zante stayed in the game at shortstop. James began working with two on and got Austin Schlabach to pop up to Van Zante.

The Tigers were up 4-1.

Lynnville-Sully responded with a single to right field

In pool play, the Redbirds pushed out to an 8-0 lead after one inning against Home Plate Baseball. Greiner and Miller pitched in the game. Scoring runs were Bartels, Webster, Ty Arguello, Taylor Danley, Hotchkin,

by freshman Elijah Collins to start the fifth inning. Caden Dunsbergen, the Hawks’ sophomore catcher, singled.

Iowa Valley won an appeal for an out as it was ruled Collins missed second base running from first to third on the play.

Van Zante kept the rally alive with a base hit and James delivered an RBI double, which chased Iowa Valley starting pitcher Gavin Collingwood from the mound. The Tigers brought in eighth-grader Ryan Becker, who shut the Hawks down for the next 2 1/3 innings.

Becker struck out Fisk to end the fifth, leaving the Hawks behind 4-2. Becker retired all seven batters he faced, recording four strikeouts. Collingwood got the win, going 4 2/3 innings and

Sophomore Makenzy Rozendall plays shortstop and hits .319. Senior Riley Rockwell is the starting right fielder and junior Kristen Van Der Witt starts at first base. Eighth-grader Maria Rasmusson is hitting .297 as designated player.

“There’s not much difference in the quality of teams among the eight at the state tournament. We understand we have to take advantage of all our opportunities in each game,” Alberts said.

“We know a lot of the teams at this year’s state, which is good for us. Again, we will take it one game at a time.”

Lynnville-Sully senior Bayli Van Manen has seen action as a pinch hitter while junior Shelby Foster, sophomore Jelissa Rozendaal and freshmen Camryn Russell and McKinley Conover have been pinch runners. The Hawks lost senior shortstop Shelby Davis in June to a season-ending knee injury.

“We played well defensively tonight,” Scandridge said.

In the sixth inning, with one on and no outs, Caden Dunsbergen made a diving catch of a short bunt in the air

by Josh Jordan. After making the catch, Dunsbergen made a quick throw to junior Kyle Van Dyke at first to double off Henry for a double play.

Fisk had a diving play in center field to end the second inning.

Van Zante (6-2) took the loss for the Hawks. He was charged with four runs on seven hits, four walks and a balk and struck out five in 3 2/3 innings of work. James pitched 2 1/3 innings of scoreless and hitless ball. He issued one walk and struck out one batter.

James led the offense with a single and a double. Collins hit two singles. Hitting a single each for the Hawks were Dunsbergen, Van Zante, Fisk Baker Zegers and Noah Engle.

steady improvement the past two season (26-23) after going 5-20 in 2013. The Hawks lose four seniors — James, Lucas Smith, Zegers and Jake Brand — to graduation.

On Tuesday, the Hawks notched a 6-5 win over Colo-NESCO to advance in the postseason for the first in seven years.

“That win is a tribute to how hard these kids have worked to move the program forward, as is they way they played tonight,” Scandridge said. “We have kids who love to play baseball and are willing to do the work to improve our program.”

It will be an all-SICL district championship game as conference champion BGM defeated Belle Plaine, 4-2, in Brooklyn Thursday. BGM and Iowa Valley square off at 7 p.m. Saturday in Sully.

The winner plays the District 12 champion Tuesday in Pella.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

What if you could listen so hard to another person that you could express that person better than he or she could?

Those who listen well are liked. Those who listen masterfully are revered.
