Dakota Access begins ‘preconstruction’ on DAPL in Jasper County

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Jasper County Fair brings in some young visitors from Des Moines. Here, Dylan Anderson asks a calf if it would like a bite to eat.

First-time exhibitor Inaugural barbecue earns cat show contest is grand champion finger-licking good

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News COLFAX — Friday’s cat show was one of the first 4-H/FFA events to kick off the 2016 Jasper County Fair as the felines were judged for grooming, behavior and appearance.

Five cats were exhibited in the competition, but only one came out on top with the grand champion purple ribbon which was Gia — a bengal cat shown by 10-year-old Jacelyn Lind.

Lind, who is from Colfax, has had the 3-year-

old cat its whole life and finds the feline’s everyday actions to be very unique from typical house cats and said the pet will even jump in the shower with someone.

“She’s very fascinated with water. Every morning she’ll yelp and yelp because she wants water,” Lind said. “She likes to get outside and run even though she’s an inside cat.

And she can jump real far.

She can jump off a dresser to the top of my bunkbed.

It’s crazy, but cool.”

FAIR | 3A

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News COLFAX — The inaugural Blue Ribbon BBQ Cook-off at the Jasper County Fair was deemed a tasty success. Ten competitors spent more than eight hours cooking four meats for three judges and one team was crowned the grand champion on Saturday.

Teams began arriving early Saturday morning, ready to receive their meat at 8 a.m. They competed in four categories working with about six pounds

beef brisket, one eightpound pork shoulder/ butt, two whole chickens and two racks of spare ribs to create their one-of-akind barbecue creations.

Judging started at 4:30 p.m. with chicken, ribs going to the judges at 5 p.m., pork butt/shoulder at 5:30 p.m. and brisket rounded out the event 6 p.m.

Picked to taste and rate the 40 different pieces of meat were judges Jeff King, Eric Harder and Doug Edge.

After a day of cooking, several hours of judging

When storms led to a handful of Jasper County Fair schedule snags, adults had to adapt and either reschedule or relocate events.

However, for many of the youth exhibiting animals or other entries at the county fair, flexibility and adapt-

ing are part of what they’ve always done. Heavy rains and wind left a muddy Jasper County Fairgrounds late Sunday morning, forcing organizers to decide which events could still happen as scheduled.

Basically, most events happening on gravel, pavement, grass or indoors were held as scheduled, while events held on dirt, such as

One of Newton’s most highly visible convenience stores has a new owner — and, later this week, it will have a new name.

The Kum & Go store located at 401 First Ave. E. is one of 21 stores being sold by Kum & Go to a different company to become Yesway locations. In a recent news release, BW Gas & Convenience Holdings, part of a Massachusetts-based national private investment firm, announced it’s acquiring 21 Iowa stores from Kum & Go, none of which are in any of the state’s largest cities.

The Newton store will be closed Wednesday to take care of many of the major transition items associated with the changeover.

The 21-store acquisition will give Yesway a total of 31 stores, all in Iowa.

Three stores involved are in Mason City.

Some of the other Kum & Go stores that have changed or are changing to Yesway are in Fort Dodge, Webster City, Waterloo, Clarion, Story City, Belmond, Ottumwa, Centerville, Elkhorn, Harlan, Walnut, Audubon, Missouri Valley, Manilla and Logan.

Dakota Access, LLC has begun pre-construction activity west of Newton in preparation to lay 34 miles of crude oil pipeline through Jasper County.

This is a small segment of the larger 1,134-mile Dakota Access Pipeline which, once completed, will run through four states and link the North Dakota Bakken Oil Fields with a hub in Patoka, Ill. and gulf coast refineries.

The clearing of crops and brush from the pipeline route comes the same week in which condemnation hearings are scheduled to begin in Jasper County between Dakota Access — a subsidiary of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners — and local landowners who have not signed voluntary land use easements with the pipeline company.

Parks seeing boom in usage Maytag Pool numbers up this season

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Activities are abundant in Newton city parks and more people than ever are out seeing what is available. Parks administrator Nathan Unsworth has seen a very active summer for the parks so far, especial-

ly at Maytag Pool.

“The pool has been a very busy place this summer. We are expecting our attendance and revenue to be up over the past few seasons,” Unsworth said.

“We had a very warm start to summer, which drove pool pass sales.

The warm weather has persisted with only a few days where the pool has been closed due to the weather.”

While it is great to have numbers up, Un-

sworth said the city does not treat the pool as a revenue source. The goal of the pool, besides providing a fun, cost-effective activity for families, is to cover the operational costs associated with the facility. Any additional revenue will go back into the general fund, Unsworth said.

“Typically, the pool comes very close to covering the operational costs each year,” Unsworth said.

Newton Goodwill Career Center names new coordinator Newton Daily News Goodwill Industries of Central Iowa has announced the promotion of Mary Beth Lawson as the new coordinator of its Newton Career Connection Center.

Lawson, who had worked as an employment specialist at the center since its inception in August 2014, took over her responsibilities as coordinator on July 4.

The Newton Career Connection Center serves the communities of Jasper County. It offers free services for job-seekers, and its location is the result of a partnership between Goodwill Industries of Central Iowa and Des Moines Area Community College.

“Mary Beth has shown great leadership, strengthening community engagement and facilitation with community partners,” said Justin Bogers, Career Connection Center Manager. “We are very excited to have her step up in this role.”

The Center, at 600 N. Second Ave. W., Room 241, on the Newton DMACC campus, has new operating hours. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and by appointment on Saturday. For more information, call 641-791-0424.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Terry Wearmouth, Jessica Tucker, Jennifer Jenkins and Laura Fonkert stand next to the school bus Cline Tool is working to stuff full of school supplies for the coming school year. “Bus Stops” to drop of donated supplies are available at Cline Tool, Re/Max and Anytime Fitness though July 25.

Cline Tool working to Stuff the Bus

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The first day of school is just around the corner and Cline Tool is hoping to give a little help to those looking for school supplies.

Through its Stuff the Bus Campaign, the company is working to collect school supplies to then hand out to those in need.

“I brought it up to the employee activities committee one day,” payroll and treasury manager Jennifer Jenkins said. “I thought it is almost school time and school supply lists are going to be coming out soon. I hear teachers all of the time having to supply school supplies and there are kids out there that can’t afford all of the supplies, so I thought it would be a really good fundraiser for the company.”

The committee agreed it would be a worthwhile cause and began work on the campaign. To house the gathered supplies, three small buses were purchased to be placed in several businesses across town.

Then the group worked to create a supply list for those looking to donate.

“We pulled the Newton school list, and we talked to a couple of teachers of what they often have to buy. We just combined those lists for our poster but anything is accepted,” Jenkins said.

The campaign runs through July 25, and Jenkins said they are hoping to gather enough supplies

for a distribution day, tentatively set for July 30.

“We would set it up outside and kids could bring their school lists and get the things need and be able to buy anything else after that,” Jenkins said. “We’re hoping to be able to do the distribution day. I think it would be just awesome to have kids come pick out what they want.”

The company started the campaign during the summer to try to get kids as many supplies as possible before having to head to the store.

“I figured we could get the supplies to people that need them before they go shopping,” Jenkins said.

Bus stops or locations set up to take supplies include Cline Tool at 1415 E. 19th St. N., Re/Max at 120 N. Second Ave. W. and Anytime Fitness at 1718 First Ave. E. If people have items to donate but are unable to bring them to the locations, Cline Tool is also available to pick them up by calling 641792-7081.

This is just the latest fundraising effort for Cline Tool, who is donating $500 in supplies to the cause.

The company has also raised money and products for St. Nick’s Christmas Club, the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and the Salvation Army.

Global stocks hold nerve after failed Turkish coup LONDON (AP) — Global stock markets traded in narrow ranges on Monday as investors assessed the implications of the failed coup in Turkey.

In Europe, France’s CAC-40 was flat at 4,372 while Germany’s DAX rose 0.1 percent to 10,079.

The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was 0.5 percent higher at 6,699. U.S. stocks were poised for a solid opening, with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures of 0.3 percent.

The failed coup on Friday in Turkey has had little impact on global markets though it knocked 5.7 percent off the Borsa Istanbul 100 Index. The Turkish lira, however, recovered its poise to recoup some of the losses in the aftermath of the coup attempt to trade around 1.8 percent higher at 2.9630 per dollar.

Japanese technology company SoftBank Group Corp. is buying British ARM Holdings for 24.3 billion pounds ($31 billion), in a deal the British government hailed as a vote of confidence in the country following last month’s vote to leave the European Union, so-called Brexit.

Local & State News Pipeline Continued from Page 1A Dick Gannon, an affected landowner who owns a corn and soybean acreage four miles west of Newton, told the Newton Daily News on Sunday that workers contracted by Dakota Access began clearing crops on the pipeline’s route through his land over the weekend.

The Iowa Utilities Board deemed these type of action “pre-construction” — clearing brush, crops, debris and staking the easement sites — and is permitted. The IUB provisionally approved Dakota Access’ construction permits for the Iowa segment of the $3.8 billion crude oil pipeline in March.

They agreed in June to allow construction on the project to begin in areas where Dakota Access had obtained all necessary easements, state and federal permits.

The pipeline company is required by IUB permit stipulations to give landowners, county boards of supervisors and county inspectors a 14-day notice before beginning construction.

Gannon said he has about 7.5 acres that will be impacted by construction of the pipeline. He signed an easement with Dakota Access last winter.

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | July 18, 2016 | 3A

Other landowners in the area also confirmed the pre-construction work had begun. At least two road crossings — one of Highway F48 West and another on West 62nd Street South — have been marked with flagged archways and have what appears to be temporary culverts covered in gravel to allow vehicle crossings, presumably for heavy equipment to enter the pipeline route.

Gannon said he has not yet been notified by Dakota Access when excavation and construction will begin on his property.

In an email sent Monday, Lisa Dillinger, a spokeswoman for a communications firm representing Dakota Access, addressed the statewide progress of the early stages of construction. These include staking, grading, clearing, temporary road construction, and building of temporary fences and gates.

“Some construction areas in southeast Iowa that began in early June are stringing and welding pipe,” Dillinger said.

“It takes approximately 30 to 45 days to construct approximately 30 miles of pipe, not including restoration activities. As construction ramps up, there will be between 500 to 800 construction workers per spread, with a total up to 4,000 union workers in each state. We plan to have

the pipeline in service by the end of this year.”

Dillinger declined to address any construction timeline specifics for Jasper County.

As of July 7, the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office reported five landowners in Jasper County had not signed voluntary easements with Dakota Access — one near Mingo and four near Reasnor and the Marion County Line. This week representatives for the first of these landowners will meet with representatives of Dakota Access in front of the Jasper County Condemnation Commission to

and a barbecue feed that had more than 50 people try samples from each competitor for only $5, Blue Ribbon Catering of Carlisle was named grand champion and received a $200 prize. Daryl, Rachel and Emma Witt of Blue Ribbon Catering also took the top spot in the categories of chicken, pork butt/ shoulder and beef brisket, which came with $150 in prize money each, bringing their total to $650.

Three other teams took second place receiving $75 each. Mark Byer of B&B BBQ from Grinnell earned $150 for taking second for his ribs and pork butt/shoulder, Wide Open BBQ of Russell came in second for their brisket and Full Draw Bow BQ of Ankeny took second in chicken.

“It is a blast, we enjoy doing it,” Aaron Kjolhede of Full Draw Bow BQ said. “It is hard to find contests that are close to central Iowa area, so it was nice to be close to home.”

Shawn Werts and Cory Swigart of Wide Open BBQ agreed having another competition that was close to home brought them to Jasper County.

“I saw it on Iowa BBQ Society website,” Swigart said. “We usually do about four to six competitions a year. It was a good contest, we had fun.”

Also competing during the inaugural event were DJ Awtry of DJ’s Butts from Colfax, Terry O’Conner and Eric Mcliesh of Not Brother’s BBQ from Ankeny, Kyle Johnson and Sean McDermott of T-Rex BBQ from Newton, Jim Lockwood and John Milligan of Smoking J’s from Mingo, Chadd Mapes of Double D BBQ from Newton and Zach Watt and Ryan Johnson of Sauced N Smokin from Baxter.

“I thought it went smooth. There are a couple things we may change in the coming year, but not a lot,” event organizer Sondra Kenney said.

Dan Wesson, who also helped organize and run the BBQ contest, agreed.

“I think the next things we need to concentrate on is getting the public here at the end,” Wesson said. “These guys really put on a nice feed here. It is like serving a full meal.”

Sponsors for the event included Sully Community Locker for the chicken contest, Rietveld locker of Otley for ribs, Doug’s Feed of Baxter for the pork butt shoulder and Golly’s Locker of Maxwell for the brisket contest as well as the grand prize champion along with the Jasper County Fair.

In preparation for the cat show, Lind bathed and groomed her pet and prepared the litter box for travel. While her car was being examined on the podium, Lind informed the judge about the cat’s qualities and received a blue ribbon presented by Jasper County Fair Queen Emily Miller. All five contestants on Friday received blue ribbons.

In addition to the grand champion ribbon, the 10-year-old also received a purple ribbon for showmanship, which is judged on the

Lind walked away with plenty of hardware, but also with a new experience doing something she has never done before — showing an animal at the Jasper County Fair.

“For my first year showing ever this has been very fun,” Lind said.

Her mother, Jayme Lind, admits she was anxious for her oldest daughter and was unsure how the cat would react to the situation, but afterward said she was proud.

“I was a little nervous. I didn’t know if the cat would behave, but I’m proud of Jacelyn. She’s growing up and it’s been a lot of fun watching her get into showing animals,”

Jayme said. “We come here every year and we always have a good time so we were excited to actually be a part of it this year.”

The soon-to-be fifth grader said she plans to show again next year, but has three cats to choose from at home and said she would like to give one of the other pets a chance in the next cat show.

Jacelyn’s experience in her first year of showing is not over, however, as she is also showing her three goats at 2 p.m. Monday on Jasper County Fair’s Children’s Day. Contact Alex Olp at aolp@newtondailynews.com

be shown until later in the week. One of those animals is Hope — a female Dutch rabbit, being cared for by Carolyn Kimmel of Newton until Wednesday’s 4-H/ FFA rabbit show.

“I’ve been entering the county fair for about five years,” Kimmel said. “I’ve had as many as five to seven animals here in one year, but I just have Hope and three other rabbits this time.”

Kimmel said placing

first would be nice, but that isn’t an element of the county fair she thinks about much of the time.

“It’s more for the fun of it,” Kimmel said.

“Rabbits are soft and lovable. In fact, I can set Hope in front of my house — supervised, of course — and she’ll just sit there. It’s like she thinks she’s a dog.”

of Brian Trout, Yesway’s Senior Vice President of Operations, Yesway will be improving the merchandise mix, and customers will soon be able to enjoy a new loyalty program.

“The new exterior and interior store design will enhance the overall appeal of the stores and enable us to offer a fresh experience for consumers in the Iowa region,” said Trout. “Customers will enjoy redesigned stores that are true to our brand tenets, which are to be user-friendly, inviting and

efficient. Over the years, the previous owners have established a loyal and reliable customer base, and we look forward to continuing to serve them in their respective local communities.”

Yesway also plans to open a cooperate headquarters in West Des Moines this month.

“The launch of Yesway marks the beginning of an exciting new branding venture for BW Gas & Convenience,” said Thomas Nicolas Trkla, Yesway’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Trout said it’s important the Yesway brand continues the success and positive reputation he feels Kum & Go established in Iowa.

“Yesway is committed to serving our customers and providing them with a terrific shopping experience,” Trout said. “We look forward to expanding our brand in the Midwest and becoming an integral part of the communities we serve.”

negotiate a fair easement price for the affected portion of their land.

The condemnation commission is appointed by the board of supervisors annually and has no less than 28 commissioners. It is coordinated by Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty.

The commission is comprised by an even number of city property owners, agricultural property owners real estates salespersons or brokers and citizens who have knowledge of local property values.

This is according to procedural information provided by the

Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

The commissioners will meet with landowners and Dakota Access representatives on the parcel where the easement is being requested to answer any questions. After information is gathered, commissioners will have the option to deliberate in private. Once a decision on compensation is made the parties will have 30 days from the mailing date for the “notice of appraisement, damages and time for appeal” to file an appeal.

The landowner has the option to bow out at any time in the hearing process in favor of a private negation with the condemnation applicant.

Halferty suggested adding six members to the commission during a March board of supervisors meeting, preferably people with an agricultural background, in anticipation of hearings dealing with both the Bakken Pipeline and Highway 330 interchange.

The commissioners receive $200 per day compensation plus mileage and meal costs are paid by the plaintiff in the case being heard.

Summertime and the livin’ is easy I

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | July 18, 2016

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

walked into our conference room at the Newton Daily News last week and noticed these words written on the dry erase board “Summertime and the livin’ is easy.” It kind of made me chuckle.

We’ve been working diligently on several special projects this summer and it’s been kind of exhausting. I knew it was the eternal optimist among us, and imagine these words were inspired after we put our last big project to bed.

There are so many perks to summer, even if work is hectic. One of my greatest indulgences is sleeping in — like 15 minutes later than I do during the school year.

It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s awesome. I don’t have to worry about my kid being “late at 8,” and I have plenty of time to get my work done if I show up a few

minutes later than usual.

If I manage to pull off lunch at home, I can lay in the pool and read a book — which are also awesome. Typically, during the winter, I don’t bother to venture home.

A couple of weeks ago I sneaked out of work early and went to “Finding Dory” matinee with my son at the Capitol II Theatre. Our entire family has plans to see “Ghostbusters.” There’s something about relaxing at the theater in the summer.

Of course, I love warm weather, grilling, hanging out on the patio, not doing homework with kids and a more lax dinnertime and bedtime. I guess the livin’ is easy ...

This is my Speedway Last race weekend, I basically lived at Iowa Speedway. I had volunteered to sell 50/50 raffle tickets for both Newton Rotary Club and United Way of Jasper County.

I was seriously dreading I had volunteered to spend half my weekend this way. The heat, the people, the traffic — it was sure to be a nightmare. However, once I got out there I realized how much fun I was having. I really enjoyed meeting so many people, hearing about how much they love coming to Newton and asking about their experience at Iowa Speedway. I met people from all across the country, some newcomers, and some who had been camping out there for a decade.

I also had time to enjoy both race days with my family. My son and his buddy had the added perk of exploring the garages and stopping into the media center. We all really loved the IndyCar race, and it’s awesome they’ve committed to returning for at least another two years. The July 29 weekend marks the final races of the season at Iowa Speedway. Get out there and enjoy yourselves.

Come on, Chuck If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been ribbed about being an “elite journalist” last week I would actually be an elite journalist.

U.S. Sen. Church Grassley fired out

the tweet last Monday, “Do u think 2day’s journalists r too elite for ‘ordinary Americans’?” Yes — that’s the way Chuck tweets, and yes both his style and accusation make me cringe. The millionaire politician was quick to back pedal on a conference call with Iowa journalists later in the week. He of course didn’t mean us ... he meant other, unidentified journalists.

But meanwhile the responses to his tweet were cause for some hilarity. Some of my favorites were food themed, included “I’m having a PBJ for lunch. You?” and “This made me spit out my Ramen noodles.” Another, “Yeah, this eat-lunch-atmy-desk, wearing a 10yo-dress driving a 7-year-old car journalist is pretty freaking elite” was the best.

Journalism jobs aren’t among the best paying, most attractive “elite” in this country, but they can be some of the most rewarding careers. That’s something one who has enjoyed a high-paying salary at taxpayers’ expense for 35 years should recognize.

Cops, blacks and crime Claims about racist cops from groups like Black Lives Matter lead more people to fear and hate the police.

That’s bad news for cops. It’s also bad for black people who live in crime-ridden neighborhoods, says Heather Mac Donald, author of “The War on Cops.”

She points out that activist policing is what people in those neighborhoods need and want, because they are muchless safe if fearful cops (or cops who just want to avoid a hateful experience — like being screamed at and called racist) stay in the car instead of questioning the young men hanging out on the corner.

Yes, says Mac Donald, it’s true that police disproportionately stop blacks, but “violent crimes are disproportionately committed by blacks.”

That’s something you probably won’t hear at a Black Lives Matter rally.

But Black Lives protesters also have a point: Some cops are sadistic, racist bullies.

Not many are, but with765,000 police officers in America, if just 1 percent were racist, that would still leave 7,650 bullies with guns. For years, when officers said, “I had to use force; I had to shoot,” Americans usually believed them. Now videos show that, in many cases, officers lied.

In addition, DNA evidence reveals that cops and prosecutors have locked up lots of innocent people — disproportionately poor people and blacks.

So there are good reasons for blacks to be angry.

The “ war on cops” narrative is overblown, too.

“War” means killing. The attack on officers in Dallas was despicable, but, even including those five deaths, it is still safer to be a cop today than in years past. According to FBI records, 2015 was one of the safest years ever recorded.

Crime is down, too. The media mislead us by dwelling on increases in cities like Chicago, but overall, crime continues to drop.

There was much more violence in the 1920s and ‘80s, when government stepped up its wars on liquor and drugs. That drove those businesses into the hands of criminals and increased confrontations with police. The number of police officers killed in 1930, the worst year of Prohibition, was nearly triple the number of police officers killed in 2014.

Prohibition is a bigger threat than Black Lives Matter.

Of course, it’s possible that crime will rise again.

Few agree about why it dropped in the first place.

Maybe it’s the increase in video cameras and cellphones that allow people to see and report crime.

Some even credit the smoking bans that put smokers on the street where they keep an eye on things.

Or looser gun laws — criminals now don’t know whether a victim might be armed. And so on.

Heather Mac Donald says crime fell after computer-directed policing sent more cops to high-crime neighborhoods and officers started arresting people for “quality of life” crimes like public urination.

Crime continued to fall because “tough on crime” laws put more criminals in jail and kept them there longer. Bad guys don’t commit new crimes if they’re in jail.

But how many people is it right to lock up? America now jails more than any other country. Almost 700 out of every 100,000 Americans are now in jail.

In Germany, just 78 people out of 100,000 are. Are Americans so much more criminal?

“Yes,” says Mac Donald, and America should jail more people. “We have a crime problem, not a prison problem. Only 3 percent of all people who commit a violent victimization or property crime end up in prison. You have to work very hard to end up in prison.”

Data centers, renewable energy thrive in Iowa Smart decisions can help Iowa’s economy grow. That’s the lesson of Facebook’s Altoona data center. The factors that got Facebook’s attention are also drawing Microsoft, Google and Amazon to central Iowa.

Here’s how massive data centers, renewable energy and investments in our local communities create economic growth in Iowa.

Data centers are large groups of networked computers that provide cloud computing services to millions of people worldwide. They require a lot of energy. If you want inexpensive electricity that doesn’t contribute to climate change, Iowa is the place to be.

Iowa’s electricity rates for Au-

It’s time to regulate firearms I am ashamed, I say again, ashamed to be a life-member of the NRA. I will not resign my membership, however. Every month I receive their magazine.

I don’t know how much it cost to print or mail this to me, but when received it goes with all the other junk mail I receive.

Now, the NRA, and its members will cry about the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. They proclaim that “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Those folks are right, but they ignore the first four words, “A well regulated Militia ...” Now

gust 2015 were 10.9 cents per kilowatt for commercial use and 7.0 cents per kilowatt for industrial use. California’s power rates were almost twice as much: 18.1 cents and 13.2 cents respectively.

And almost a third of Iowa’s electricity comes from the wind — a claim no other state can match.

The Altoona data centers are 100 percent wind-powered. The wind farms that support them produce more than enough electricity. Iowa’s overall power grid will become even cleaner as a result.

That’s great for central Iowa.

Newton, for example, is the home of TPI Composites and Trinity Structural Towers.

Those two firms employ more than 1,100 Iowans who build wind turbines and towers.

What some Iowans build, other Iowans now step forward

operate and maintain. Several years ago, we started creating new college degrees for Iowa wind energy workers. Now Des Moines Area Community College, Iowa State and several other Iowa colleges offer Iowans their choice of some of the nation’s best wind maintenance and engineering programs.

Their graduates have their pick of good paying jobs.

When it comes to data centers, Iowa offers low cost, clean energy and skilled workers.

That combination has produced hundreds of construction jobs, jobs running the data centers and additional jobs for Iowans who maintain and manage the wind farms.

When we work together and invest in our communities, our environment and our young people, Iowa reaps big benefits.

you cannot tell me that the unbridled purchase and ownership of firearms is a “... well regulated Militia ...”

Rather than argue that point, why not do this: register and ration the ammunition that those firearms use. There is nothing in the Constitution about ammunition. Firearm owners, wishing to purchase ammo would have to pass a background check, a drug and alcohol screening, criminal and abuse record search and then wait for three days before allowing the purchase to go forward.

Those selling ammo would be required to keep records of the amount of ammo they have in inventory, who they sold the ammo to and how many rounds were sold. To simply their re-

cords, no one would be allowed to purchase more than five rounds a month and to reorder, they would have to provide the spent cartridges to the seller prior to purchasing more ammo.

Now the hunters in the crowd would claim this is a burdensome law. I ask you, why do you need 30 rounds to kill Bambi, or a .44 cal. handgun to butcher the Easter Bunny? And if hunting is so exciting, think how exciting it would be to sneak up on a 600-pound bear with an unloaded gun. That should send chills of excitement up and down your spine.

It is time, past time, to regulate firearms, all firearms.

Summer temperatures turn closed cars into deadly ovens DEAR ABBY: With summer here, many families will do at least some traveling, which involves spending significant amounts of time in the family car or truck. I’d like to remind your readers that it is now illegal in many states to leave a child, a disabled person or a pet unattended in a vehicle for ANY length of time. The reason is that temperatures inside a vehicle — especially with the windows rolled up — can rise to dangerous, even deadly, levels very quickly.

Tests by the National Weather Service have shown that when it’s 80 degrees F outside, the interior of a vehicle with the windows rolled up, or just cracked open, can reach 123 degrees within 60 minutes! Such temperatures can induce heat exhaustion, or worse, heat stroke, within a very short time, and quickly kill a child, a pet or a disabled person.

Abby, I urge you in the strongest terms to help spread this vital warning and prevent needless tragedies of this kind. As the National Weather Service says, “Look Before You Lock,” and “Beat the Heat — Check the Back Seat!” — TOM THE STORM SPOTTER DEAR TOM: I’m pleased to help you bring this information to the attention of my readers. I was shocked when I read a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stating that an average of 38 children have died in hot cars each year since 1998.

More than 70 percent of those deaths were children younger than 2 years of age. How tragic! And readers, not parking in direct sunlight won’t make the car significantly cooler. Heat stroke deaths have occurred even when the vehicle was parked in the shade.

drawback. We have a young toddler, so we sit in the cry room during Mass. At our previous church, the cry room was a place for us to practice church etiquette with our son so that we could someday sit with the rest of the congregation without disturbing the Mass.

The culture at this church is different; the cry room seems more like a playroom. Seeing all the other children running around makes keeping my toddler sitting in the pew nearly impossible (think major meltdowns). If we allow him to play with the other children, we spend the Mass feeling like we’ve failed as Christian parents. The result is that neither my husband nor I has felt fully present at a Mass in months. Do you have any suggestions for how to reconcile this issue? — MISSING MASS DEAR MISSING MASS: From where I sit, you’re not only being overly hard on yourselves as parents, but also your small child. Please discuss this with the priest at your new church.

Allowing your child to be a child isn’t “bad Christian parenting.” Few toddlers have a long enough attention span to sit through Mass. The cry room is designed to be like a playground so the children will learn to enjoy going there every Sunday and want to keep coming back until they’re old enough for Sunday school. And that’s a GOOD thing.

DEAR ABBY: My family recently moved to a new state and was blessed to find a wonderful new church to attend near our home. There’s only one

CLIVE — Iowa Lottery officials say someone has won $2 million in the Powerball drawing.

The lottery says in a news release that the ticket was bought at a Hawkeye convenience store in Cedar Rapids. The ticket matched five of the numbers drawn Saturday evening but missed the Powerball number. The buyer won $1 million, but because the buyer also bought the Power Play option, the prize was multiplied to $2 million.

DAVENPORT — At least two tornadoes have been confirmed in the storms that caused damage across eastern Iowa Sunday morning.

The National Weather Service said Sunday afternoon that it had confirmed tornado damage in Jackson and Scott counties.

Both tornadoes were only on the ground for a short time, and no injuries were reported with either. One tornado moved across the southern part of Andrew for about one mile just after 7 a.m.

JC Foundation announces 2016 grant recipients

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Nineteen government departments and nonprofit organizations are the recipients of this year’s Jasper Community Foundation grants as part of the state-sponsored County Endowment Program.

Dan Skokan, president of the foundation, said this year’s grants total about $79,000.

The total dollar figure for the grants is down slightly from 2015. Last year, 23 of the 29 proposed area nonprofit organizations grants were approved, totaling $91,345.

There were 18 grants awarded in 2014, totaling about $83,000.

“I am pleased to announce the foundation awards in grants this year,” Skokan said.

“These grant funds will pro-

vide much-needed financial support for a variety of important programs and services in Jasper County.”

A total of 38 proposals were received from non-profit, educational and municipal entities throughout the county.

The Foundation awarded grants that ranged from $800 to $11,500 to new or enhanced innovative programs that address needs or issues.

All submitted grant proposals were reviewed by the Jasper Community Foundation Board.

The funds for these grants were made possible by the Iowa General Assembly.

Eleven years ago, the Iowa legislature passed several bills to encourage community foundation building and philanthropy. Among these

Chocolate May Boost Attention

Eating some dark chocolate may help improve attention, according to a recent study. About 120 young adults were tested using electroencephalography (EEG) technology to see how they responded to eating 60% cacao chocolate. Researchers found that when participants consumed the chocolate, their brains were more alert and attentive. Other studies have suggested that dark chocolate is a vasodilator (meaning it opens up blood vessels) and if eaten in moderation could help lower blood pressure over time.

Chocolate that is less than 60% cacao would probably not have the same benefits.

Cardinals end season in district play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Drew Stout waits for the ball after catcher Duncan Lee (20) throws it during a rundown play against Pella’s Little Dutch in Friday’s Class 4A District 12 semifinal game in Pella. Stout tagged out Pella’s Landon Vander Leest to end the fifth inning. Fifth-ranked Pella defeated Newton, 6-0, to end the Cardinals’ season.

PELLA — Four out of seven innings Newton High’s Cardinals had baserunners against fifth-ranked Pella’s Little Dutch and their ace senior Grant Judkins in Friday’s Class 3A District 12 semifinal baseball game.

“A key hit in any of those situations and this game would have been different. That’s how our season went,” Newton head coach Dustin Brisel said following a 6-0 loss to the Dutch.

The Cardinals had four hits — all singles — and two came in one inning.

Friday’s loss concluded Newton’s season. The Cardinals finished at 9-22.

Pella scored a run in the first inning and two in the second. Newton held the Dutch scoreless for three innings, before they added on three runs in the sixth.

Newton’s leadoff hitter, junior center fielder Brennen Dodd, drew a walk to open the game but was out at second on a fielder’s choice on a grounder by junior first baseman Trey Vanderlaan. The next two Cardinal batters were retired.

Trailing 3-0, the Cardinals made a little noise in the fourth inning.

Vanderlaan broke up Judkins’ nohit bid with a single to center field.

Vanderlaan advanced to second on a passed ball, and senior third baseman Drew Stout reached on a baseon-balls.

Judkins sat down the next three batters — two by strikeouts. Judkins, who will play for Iowa next year, had 11 strikeouts in the game for Pella.

“Our defense was great tonight, and our pitching was solid. It has been all season. We were still in the game,” Brisel said.

The pitching and defense showed throughout the game. In the first inning, Newton starting pitcher, junior Connor Gholson, came off the mound to field a ball hit by Judkins and throw to Stout at third base.

Stout tagged out Tyler Hillman for the second out of the inning.

Newton’s Jenkins earns 4A All-District softball honors Eight area softball players, one coach received all-district honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

ver threw all nine innings of a 3-0 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter upset. He struck out 19 batters and allowed just one hit for the second straight game, and the Raiders are one game away from their first-ever trip to the state baseball tournament.

“I’m so happy right now. I’m shaking. I can’t explain this one,” said Stover, who now has 112 strikeouts in 51 innings this season.

For the fourth consecutive season, Newton High’s Sydney Jenkins received Class 4A All-District honors for her performance on the softball field. The Cardinal senior was named to the 2016 4A Southeast All-District softball team.

The Iowa Girls Coaches Association released its 2016 All-District Softball Teams Saturday. Eight area high school players joined Jenkins in earning honors and one area head coach.

In Class 3A, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s senior Payge Jurgens and junior Abbey Kahler and Prairie City-Monroe junior Jayci Vos were named to the Central All-District team. CMB head coach Troy Houge was named the Central District Coach of the Year.

In Class 1A, Lynnville-Sully senior Kasiah Ehresman and junior Brenna Lanser and Colfax-Mingo’s junior Amy Russell and sophomores Ries Wilson and Rhiannon Haley received South Central All-District honors.

Stenson wins duel with Mickelson to claim British Open title TROON, Scotland (AP) — Henrik Stenson is the champion golfer of the year, thanks to a final round for the ages.

He kept hitting the best shots of his life, one after another, and he needed each one to stay ahead of Phil Mickelson in a British Open duel that ranked among the best in major championship history.

Stenson made 10 birdies, including a 50-foot putt across the 15th green that had him pumping his fist in a rare show of emotion.

The final stroke in this masterpiece was a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that curled into the cup on the final turn. It gave him an 8-under 63, tying Johnny Miller at Oakmont for the greatest closing round by a major champion, and Stenson didn’t realize it until he sat down to sign his card.

Records didn’t matter.

This was about winning his first major.

“Right now I’m running on adrenaline.

But there will be some point when I’ll struggle to make it up the stairs when I get back to the house,” Stenson said after four hours of an epic battle at Royal Troon.

Mickelson was a runner-up for the 11th time in a major, but never like this. He can’t look back at a mistake because he really didn’t make any.

He opened with a 63, closed with a career-best 65, shot the second-best score in Open history and was 11 shots better than everyone in the field. Except one.

He got beat by arguably the best final round in 156 years of major championships.

Stenson and Mickelson were never separated by more than two shots over 40 straight holes until the Swede’s final birdie.

In the final round, they combined to make 14 birdies and an eagle.

If this was a better-ball match, they would have shot 59.

J.B. Holmes won the B-Flight. He finished third, 14 shots behind.

Stenson became only the fourth player to win the British Open with all four rounds in the 60s, joining Tiger Woods, Nick Price and Greg Norman.

Upset

Continued from Page 1B “I feel great. I have never been as focused as I am right now. I am throwing strikes and just doing what I do,” Stover said.

Stover said his left arm felt good after the nine-inning performance Saturday. But after 138 pitches, it may not feel that great come Sunday and Monday.

The Raiders’ reward for winning the District 13 championship is a berth into the 2A Substate 7 championship game at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Stover wants to pitch in that game, too.

“Adrenaline is the best medicine right now. (My arm) will probably be sore tomorrow, but I want to pitch every game for my guys,” Stover said. “This is a big opportunity for this program.”

CMB (13-11) faces Ogden (20-11) in the substate final Tuesday. Stover struck out 15 in a 5-3 win over then-ranked Ogden in the district semifinal last season. CMB coach Max Seeman said Stover pitching Tuesday is possible, but it will likely be a gameday decision.

“I know he wants to pitch,” Seeman said. “We are going to take care of him as much as we can the next two days, and it will be a gameday decision probably. We’ll see how he does when he warms up.”

CMB stranded seven runners on base in the game. The first six came in the first five innings.

Sophomore Travis Lindemoen broke the scoreless tie in the ninth with a two-out RBI single, and then junior Spencer Gauch made it 3-0 with a two-run single to the gap in left-center field.

“I was in the dugout praying for my teammates before I came up to bat,” Lindemoen said. “I never expected God to give me that chance to bring in the winning run. I feel great.

I am already ready to go face Ogden.”

The Raiders came into the district tournament as the three seed. They knocked off second-seeded Des Moines Christian, 3-0, in the semfinals.

Another upset over a Roland-Story (29-11) squad that had been to three straight state tournaments moves CMB within one game of playing in its first.

“It’s kind of unbelievable right now,” Seeman said. “I was hoping it would be a close game, and I was hoping it wouldn’t go more than nine because that’s all (Stover) could throw.”

The Raiders had plenty of chances to score before it got to extra innings. They stranded at least one runner in each of the first five innings.

Junior Brady Ross was left

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Stover shows some emotion coming off the mound after getting out of his only big jam of the game Saturday against No. 9 Roland-Story. Stover stranded runners on second and third base in the frame, and struck out 19 in the game as the Raiders won 3-0 to win the district title.

on third base after reaching on an error in the first inning, junior Tucker Maxwell doubled with one out but was stranded on second in the second and Ross reached on another error in the third but was left on first base.

In the fourth, senior Brad Ritter walked and then went to third on a Maxwell single.

Ritter was erased on the bases though when he was thrown out at home on a Nate Bishop fielder’s choice.

All of those opportunities came against Roland-Story starter Tyler Hovich, who entered the game with an earned run average of 0.91. The final five innings were thrown by sophomore Zach Shadlow.

Shadlow gave up a one-out double to Stover in the fifth but did not allow another base runner until the ninth.

Ritter and junior Creighton Caple both reached on infield singles to begin the frame.

After Shadlow retired Maxwell and Bishop, Lindemoen strolled to the plate with the

chance to give the Raiders a lead.

Lindemoen came into the game with just 12 at-bats on the season. He was batting Saturday because of injuries to junior Hunter McWhirter and senior Aric Broderick.

Lindemoen went 0-for-3 in his first three at-bats but came through when it mattered most. He poked a single just over the head of Nathan Weaver at second base.

Ritter came around to score in what turned out to be a close play at the plate.

“I was ready to go back out there and catch nine more pitches from Brady,” Lindemoen said. “I knew when we scored the one run that it was over.”

The runs didn’t stop there.

Gauch followed Lindemoen’s RBI with a two-run single to left-center field.

That made it 3-0 and gave Stover plenty of support for his final inning of wok.

“I was just so happy from what Travis did that I just

tried to keep it going and put the ball in play somewhere,” Gauch said. “I had so much adrenaline running through my body after his hit that I just used that in my at-bat.”

Already at 126 pitches, Stover walked back to the mound in the ninth. The first out resulted in a 1-3 putout. He ended the game with strikeouts against the Norsemen’s two best hitters — Hovick and Shadlow.

“I know that we start off slow usually. We get hot at the end of the game,” Stover said. “I continued to believe in the guys that we would find a way to get some runs.

That was a clutch hit for Travis.”

Seeman had thoughts of pulling Stover in the eighth when he walked two. Stover stranded those two runners at second and third though when he fanned leadoff hitter John Barclay for a fourth time in the game.

“In the eighth, I was getting a little worried. The pitch count was getting up there, and he walked two, so I wasn’t sure how the control would hold up,” Seeman said. “He’s the type of kid that if I would have pulled him, he would have been more mad at that than if I left him in and we lost. He’s a kid who wants the ball, and he can keep us in any game we play when he pitches.”

Stover walked four in the game but allowed just one hit — a single to Colby Gray in the second inning. Stover is now 6-0 on the season with an earned run average of 0.41. He has allowed three earned runs in 51 innings.

The Raiders did not allow a run in the three district games. Stover tossed 21 of the 23 innings and struck out 49 batters. He got plenty of help from his defense against the Norse, too.

Lindemoen erased two Stover baserunners by throwing them out on attempted steals of third base.

Bishop made a few nifty plays at shortstop, and CMB won the game despite using somewhat of a makeshift lineup.

Broderick, the regular starting third baseman, is done for the year after having knee surgery.

That moved Brady Kemp to third base, Gauch to left field and McWhirter to second. McWhirter also is playing through an injury that limits his mobility.

“Everyone did a nice job of keeping their calm and keeping their composure,” Seeman said. “We got some good plays from our defense, too. It was a total team effort, and having (Stover) on the mound is a big help.”

There are cosmic reasons why tomorrow’s full Capricorn moon will present without the usual ambitions and cool, calculated plans. The expression will be more emotional and vulnerable. The thing you don’t want to reveal could come out anyway. Think and write about who you are today.

It will be interesting to look back on when things change.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18). When they say, “the rest is history,” it’s a super-sized accomplishment they are referring to. However, it’s about to be eclipsed by something wonderful in the first half of this solar journey. Go public with

your goals and find someone to help you stay accountable with your efforts and you’ll be unstoppable. Leo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 12, 22 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Don’t be too worried about how the future will work out.

All you have to know about that right now is that it will.

And by the way, there are many who love you and are on your side, wanting you to create and thrive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your insistence on getting it right might be interfering with your ability to get it done. Fin-

ishing is more important than finishing perfectly, or even finishing excellently.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You are receptive to other people’s news. You celebrate their stories. You listen to and remember the details of their days. This is what will put you in the upper echelon of friendship.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Ideally, a romantic partner is also a friend. Whether the friendship comes first or last is beside the point, but for this relationship to work, the friendship has got to be in there somewhere!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your commitment to a project may

be casual, unspoken, and private, but it’s there, it’s strong, and it will go honored. Other activities of lower priority will fall away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll give a magic send-off to a bad situation. As for the pain, guilt, regret and general negativity that it caused you, you can now firmly say, “buh-bye,” and it will truly and completely be over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Maybe you’re living the dream, but it’s not your dream, at least not anymore. You’ll wonder when exactly it was that you wanted this. Try and remember your original vision.

What about it is different now?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, and some of your favorite ones have been about as far from perfect as you’re willing to go. What you’ve worked through continues to makes you better.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). That song you used to love and listen to often will come on randomly in your environment, reminding you of a certain someone. You’ll always have a special space in your heart for this person, even though things have changed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are, at your core, forgiving, loving and selfless.

That doesn’t mean you always have to behave in such a way

to reflect this. Sometimes you have to work to get there, and that’s OK, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You don’t need to prove yourself -- or at least you shouldn’t need to. The one who makes you feel as though you do: Is this person really qualified to sit above you and judge?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As for the struggle that’s eaten up so much of your time lately, what would happen if you gave it up? An easygoing mentality paves the way for good fortune.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Grant Nook (26) takes off on a hit-and-run play in the fifth inning of Friday’s 4A district game at Pella. Pella first baseman moves with Nook trying to track down a ball hit by Newton‘s Bennen Dodd. Newton had two on with two out, but failed to score, losing the game 6-0.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B After two runs were in for the Dutch in the second inning with two gone, Gholson issued two walks to load the bases. He struck out Pella catcher Jaden Rolffs to end the inning.

The Cardinals got something cooking in the top of the fifth inning, still down 3-0.

With two gone, senior left fielder Grant Nook shook off a foul ball hitting his hand to deliver a base hit to right field. On a hit-and-run, Nook took off for second as Dodd singled to right. Vanderlaan worked a walk to load the bases. Stout put a charge into a Judkins pitch which was caught in center field to end the threat.

Landon Vander Leest, who was 3-for-4 in the game for Pella, pounded a triple to right field to begin the Dutch’s fifth inning. Gholson gave way to sophomore Garrett Sturtz on the mound for Newton. Sturtz struck out Caleb Piersma.

The Dutch attempted a squeeze bunt play with Lucas Hileman at the plate. Hileman got the bunt down but was called out for bat interference, which sent Vander Leest back to third base, where he stayed. Gholson, who switched with Sturtz at shortstop, charged a ball hit

by Avery Van Zee and threw Van Zee out at first to retire the side.

Gholson connected for a

single off Judkins to lead off the sixth. Judkins retired the next three Newton batters.

Tyler Hillman, who was 4-for-4 in the game, delivered his third single of the night to start the sixth for Pella. With one gone, Newton intentionally walked Judkins for a second time, and Rolffs’ single drove in a run.

A two-out double by Vander Leest plated two more runs. Piersma singled to center field. Dodd threw the ball to Lee at home and Newton caught Vander Leest in a rundown. Lee chased the Pella runner back toward third, made the throw to Stout and Stout tagged Vander Leest out to end the inning.

Newton was retired in order in the top of the seventh as Judkins recorded his last two strikeouts. Judkins issued three walks to Newton hitters.

Gholson (2-7) took the loss, going four innings Friday. He was charged with three runs on six hits and six walks. He struck out seven. Sturtz (2-6) pitched two innings, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk and had one strikeout.

“Connor and Garrett gave it their all tonight. We faced one of the best pitchers in the state, and he will take them (Pella) far,” Brisel said. “We were a hit away, which is the story of our season.”

Vanderlaan, Nook, Gholson and Dodd each had a single.

“The future of Cardinal baseball is bright. We have a lot of guys returning, includ-

ing all of our pitchers. Yes, we have some big holes to fill with the seniors we’re losing, but we’re a young team and we’ll grow,” Brisel said. “We’ll get the hitting figured out.”

Newton had six seniors on its roster, but only three saw on-field action — Stout, Lee and Nook.

Bryce Tish was sidelined with an injury. Jacob Risius and Jordan Henning were the other senior players.

“Hitting the ball was our rough point all season, but as the year went along we made steps. Our strikeout rate from the beginning of the year to now is astronomically lower,” Lee said. “Our defense and pitching were strong all season. We were putting the ball in play. We just couldn’t catch a break all year.”

Lee pointed out with all the offensively woes the Cardinals experienced, the Newton players stayed even keeled. He said they all came to practices and games to put in the same hard work and with great attitudes.

“As seniors, we hope we gave the team some strong leadership and set good examples for the younger guys,” Lee said. “We believe we showed how to do things right in the weight room, in BP (batting practice), on the field and off the field. They have a lot of guys who can step up and lead next year and have a good season.”

Newton finished 5-13 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals were sixth

in the conference.

Pella (28-8) advances to the 3A District 12 championship game Monday at Pella against Knoxville, which beat Chari-

ton 5-2 Friday.
