City council favors full-time NHDC director

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo Don Smith, a Korean War veteran and longtime Hamilton Glass employee, was recently presented with a quilt made for him through a program called Quilts of Valor. The nationwide program coordinates quiltmaking to honor veterans for their service. On the left is Leslie Hamilton Renaud, who helped piece the quilt; on the right is Renaud’s sister, Linda Van Baale.

To continue the housing efforts in Newton, the city council decided to move forward with a proposal to fund a fulltime Newton Housing Development Corporation Director.

The proposal was presented by Craig Trotter who chaired the Newton City Council NHDC Study Group on Monday and included an increase in funding to $32,000.

Beginning in April, Trotter, along with councilwomen Lin Chapé and Miranda Kulis, worked to explore the role of NHDC within the community. They researched existing plans and struc-

tures for hous i ng support within Newton, hous i ng organizational models used by Trotter o t h e r p l a c es, the structure of the city’s housing efforts and funding needed to staff housing support.

“We had a tough time with this. It is definitely a unique entity, and we wanted to keep the city out of the housing side without making decisions in that role,” Trotter said.

Nationwide program helps HALO makes good on one Newton honor those who served

Manufacturing promise

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

ince 2003, a growing program designed to acknowledge and thank veterans for their service has allowed two Newton-area men to receive something that won’t be worn on a uniform.

Don Smith, a Korean War veteran, and Randy Wagner, who served in Vietnam, both recently received quilts made for them by women whose effort was coordinated through a national program called Quilts of Valor.

Both Smith and Wagner are longtime residents of Newton.

Leslie Hamilton Renaud of Marshalltown, who pieced Smith’s quilt and helped piece Wagner’s quilt, said she first became involved with the program as a volunteer because she, like many others in recent years, felt the need to show veterans their efforts in the military are appreciated.

“Every quilt is made with love,” Renaud said. “I think it’s really important to thank our veterans by handing them something useful and, hopefully, beautiful.”

early 2000s as “Quilts for Soldiers,” has led to more than 140,000 having been presented to veterans to date. Smith and Wagner were both acknowledged with their quilts July 13 at Hamilton Glass in Newton, where both worked for many years.

Smith served in the U.S. Air Force late in the Korean War and into the late 1950s and early 1960s. His quilt was pieced by Renaud and quilted by Denise Starrit.

As HALO Branded Solutions moves through the next steps of its acquisition of Newton Manufacturing, the Sterling, Ill. company is paying off some of the debt owed to affected businesses.

Meanwhile, one of the facilities once owned by Newton Manufacturing is in the possession of a more local entity.

Last year, HALO bought assets of Newton Manufacturing out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it set up a program to ease the pain of Newton’s unsecured suppliers. Last

week, HALO made good on its promise, paying more than $450,000 to affected businesses — the first-year distribution from the Newton Supplier Recovery Program.

The program is the first of its kind in the promotional products industry.

HALO isn’t legally obligated to make the payments to Newton’s suppliers and decorators, but management made the decision with an eye on long-term growth.

The first distribution will pay more than 500 suppliers about 15 cents on the dollar on Newton’s NEWTON MAN | 3A

Monroe youth continues family traditions at county fair

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News COLFAX — For many kids at the Jasper County Fair, the experience is a family affair. The same is true for 12-yearold Charly Birkenholtz, who is following in the footsteps of many family members before her.

“I’ve been showing rabbits for three years.

My dad showed, my uncle and aunt and grandma also showed,” Birkenholtz said.

The soon to be eighth grader from Monroe has 12 rabbits at the county fair along with two that stayed home at her grandma’s farm.

Throughout the year she prepares the animals for the county competition completing daily chores along with having some fun.

“During the year to care for them, we feed them a half a cup of their rabbit pellets and they get their bowl of water. I brush them

and work with them, so they are good for show, know the proper position down. We also have to trim their nails,” Birkenholtz said.

“I play with them out in the yard and bring them inside sometime in the air conditioning so they can relax.”

Birkenholtz showed in six categories including Rex Senior Doe, Dutch Senior Buck, Mini Rex Junior Doe BIRKENHOLTZ | 3A

Fire up the flavor with grilled fruits, vegetables

By Jenny Thompson, RD, LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee It’s grilling season! What better way to fill half of your plate with fruits and veggies than to take advantage of the season. Grilling enhances the sweetness in both fruits and vegetables and, with the right techniques, will have your friends and family wanting more.

Below are Hy-Vee dietitians’ top produce picks for the grill.

Sweet Corn

Corn has plenty of nutritional bang for your buck. The variety of plant phytonutrients and antioxidants in corn may improve heart health and improve disease risk. Corn is a good source of fiber which provides fullness, and it also fuels the good bacteria in our colon.

Tips for the grill: You can grill corn with or without the husks, leaving the husk on corn while grilling will protect the kernels from charring and add to its flavor. Peel the husks back and remove the silk by hand. Season it with salt, pepper and a little butter. Cover the husks with foil and grill over medium-high heat for 20 to 30 minutes. If you would prefer to grill without the foil, soak the corn in the husk for 15 minutes before peeling and seasoning so it does not catch on fire while grilling. Try the recipe below for Mexican Grilled Corn.

Zucchini

This versatile vegetable transforms into a savory, slightly smoky treat when grilled. It is a perfect choice to please any picky eaters in your family. Zucchini is low in calories and loaded with fiber, making it a great choice for maintaining a healthy weight.

Tips for the grill: Cut zucchini into slices. Preheat the grill to medium. Brush the zucchini with olive oil and season as desired.

Try salt, pepper, lemon zest and a dash of lemon juice. Grill each side for three to five minutes, until well browned and tender.

Bell Peppers

One cup of bell peppers contain almost three-times the amount of disease-fighting vitamin C as an orange. Red bell peppers are the sweetest, and contain the most antioxidants. Choose deeply colored peppers with firm skin.

Tips for the grill: To prepare bell peppers for the grill, cut each pepper into quarters lengthwise and discard the stem and seeds.

Bell peppers can be seasoned and grilled the same way as zucchini.

In fact, your Hy-Vee dietitians recommend grilling these two veggies together to take advantage of the nutrition in both and to add more color to your plate.

Portabella Mushrooms

Savory and meaty, large portabellas can take the place of meat and make a fantastic veggie burger. Mushrooms are very low in calories, and contain blood pressure-lowering potassium, magnesium and vitamin D. Tips for the grill: Portabellas can dry out quickly, so it is best to marinate them for 30 minutes before grilling. A simple marinade of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil and steak seasoning works great. Grill them over medium heat for five to seven minutes per side, brushing them with marinade frequently. Serve them on a whole-grain bun with your favorite burger toppings.

Peaches

This summertime fruit is loaded with vitamins A and C, and contains only 80 calories with three grams of filling fiber. If your peaches are not yet ripe, place them in a paper bag with an apple, which gives off ethylene gas and helps them ripen faster.

Tips for the grill: Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Brush lightly with oil and grill over low heat until golden brown, four to seven minutes.

Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with

a little cinnamon and serve over plain Greek yogurt for a dreamy summertime dessert. For a more savory option, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of tarragon and serve alongside grilled chicken or fish.

Plumcots

This super sweet fruit is a cross between a plum and an apricot.

With only 30 calories, it makes a great snack or dessert choice.

Choose darker colored plumcots to gain the most antioxidant benefit.

Tips for the grill: Plumcots can be prepped and grilled the same way as peaches. Seasoned either sweet or savory, they make a flavorful salad topping.

Melons

Melons are a great source of lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin and heart. Choose melons with a hollow sound, symmetrical shape and yellow belly to ensure ripeness and peak nutrition.

Tips for the grill: Peel and cut melons into one-inch slices.

Brush with honey or oil and grill over low heat for five to seven minutes, turning once. Grilled melon is a great side to grilled chicken or fish or can be enjoyed on its own or served with Greek yogurt.

Pineapple

Pineapple’s sweetness is greatly intensified by the caramelization that takes place on the grill, making it an excellent choice for a sweet lower-calorie dessert.

One cup of pineapple contains 85 calories, two grams of filling fiber and many vitamins and minerals.

Tips for the grill: Try grilling pineapple in wedges or slices.

Toss the wedges in a little lemon, lime or orange juice before placing on the grill. Grill over medium-low heat for four minutes on each side, watching closely as they caramelize quickly. Grilled pineapple is great on your favorite burger or used in pineapple-salsa and served over grilled fish.

and Buck, Mini Rex Senior Doe and Buck. She received blue ribbons for all of her rabbits along with a best in breed for the Rex Senior Doe. “Some of the rabbits I have shown from year to year. Some rabbits I will sell after the fair and then when we breed I will start working with some of the babies,” Birkenholtz said.

Although she likes all of her rabbits, Birkenholtz does have a favorite.

“My favorite probably is Shadow, my black Mini Rex because when I got her she was seven weeks and she was one of the first rabbits I got,” Birkenholtz said.

Rabbits aren’t the way Birkenholtz participates at the fair. She is also well known for her cooking and baking skills, thanks in part to her grandma, Linda Birkenholtz.

For the past two years, Birkenholtz has entered baked goods into the 4-H competition through her club the Lucky L’s that have been selected to move on to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.

“This year I made a pecan pie, a golden honey wheat bread and my grandma’s peanut butter fudge. My pecan pie and my fudge were considered and then chosen to go to state,” Birkenholtz said. “My bread got a red ribbon and the judge said it was because the dough was too overworked.”

Last year, Birkenholtz entered her butter corn rolls into competition and came away with a blue ribbon from the state fair.

“She’s done so well at her age that it is a challenge each year to come up with something that can top the year before. This year with her getting to take two things to state, that just made her day,” Linda said. “It is always good to figure out the goals. I think it is a neat thing that we both have in common. A lot of the younger kids don’t know how to kneed bread or make a pie crust or use a candy thermometer, I think those are hopefully things she will bring with her as she gets older.”

Birkenholtz plans to continue participating in the fair with both her rabbits and baked goods through 4-H until she enters high school and joins FFA. For now, she is just having a good time with friends and family at the fair.

Wagner served during the Vietnam War and later worked at Maytag for many years, in addition to Hamilton Glass. He received his

Its strengths include being a bridge for input and information between the city and the private sector, advising and supporting the implementation of the Newton Housing Initiative, cultivating and encouraging private developer investment in Newton, hosting receptions and events to promote housing, providing statistics and inventories about the local housing market and conduction outreach.

“While 14.9 cents on the dollar might not seem like a lot to any one supplier or decorator, I hope the industry recognizes that our first-year payment represents a very significant investment in our relationships with all industry suppliers and decorators,” HALO CEO Marc Simon said.

The payment formula was based on 10 percent of HALO’s revenue in excess of $12 million during the 12 months ended June 30 from account executives selling for Newton during any portion of 2014 or 2015.

The $12 million bar was set as the amount of annual Newton-based revenue HALO needed to bring in to justify

the cost of the acquisition.

The Sterling company sees the payments as an investment in its future.

“We are protecting our existing account executives and reinforcing to our suppliers that HALO is the best option they can recommend to many of their distributor customers, whether or not they may be experiencing financial challenges,” Simon said.

Account executives from Newton had a difficult time getting orders serviced as the Iowa company’s financial situation worsened. Some looked elsewhere, and HALO management hoped the recovery program could bring that talent back into the fold.

Some of the Newton Manufacturing staff were offered positions with HALO, which rents a small office in a northeast Newton complex.

“I started thinking through all of these things, how they connected and how it makes sense that we continue our jump start and ensure that it is up and has a great start and sustain itself.

To do that, I think we need to have somebody that do that each and every day and is focused on it each and everyday,” Hansen said. “The NHDC plays a critical role in our entire economical development program in our city.”

The proposed $14,500 increase in funding will come from the Newton Housing Initiative bond. No official action was taken by the council.

Currently, the NHDC has no paid employees on staff following the former part-time housing coordinator leaving the position. The part-time coordinator was a 20-hour a week position with a $11,800 annual salary.

NHDC Board President Jennifer Cook said the board’s goal is to have an executive director in place by Sept. 1 as long as funding from the city and private donations were received.

The 37,000-square foot office building and the 38,000 square foot warehouse occupied by the recently departed Avalanche Composites have both been vacant for most of the past year.

“The account executives we have added from Newton have been a great addition to the HALO team, and their success with HALO is translating directly into recovered debt for our valued suppliers,” Simon said.

Renaud said living in Marshalltown, where the Iowa Veterans Home is located, it’s easy to be cognizant of the presence of veterans and the price many paid in service to their country. However, ceremonies on historic days each year are not the only way vet-

the plan.

“Our role is not necessary to be in the housing business but to jump start a housing business and let private industry to take over, that is what we are trying to do and hopefully we are starting to see some of that occur,” councilman Steve Mullan said.

The study group ultimately decided to recommend increasing the city’s funding to NHDC from $17,500 to $32,000 per year for the next two years to fund a full-time executive director. The NHDC would continue to work with the city in the community’s housing efforts but would function independently if the city in its decision-making and not be located in a city-owned office.

“A key component to economic development, especially here in our community, is the housing market. It is difficult to advance and grow jobs here if we can’t house people here as well,” mayor Mike Hansen said.

Hansen said he initially was not in favor of a full-time executive director but changed his mind when he started thinking through all of the responsibilities and tasks that go into building the

Let’s make some magic O

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

n paper, this seemed like a crazy idea, something you wouldn’t tell your friends and family you were attending.

What we got was an hour and a half of laughter and fun. “The Naked Magic Show” at Temple of Performing Arts in Des Moines was a show I won’t soon forget. It was in Des Moines for a limited run, July 15-17, but the audience piled into the theater to see what magic was in store.

Despite the name, the two Australian magicians — Christopher Wayne and Mike Tyler — were mostly clothed the entire time. Their illusions were great, and it was fun to see what they had in store for us.

There was quite a bit of audience

participation. They had several volunteers come to the stage, helping with card tricks, disappearing phones and guessing games. One gentleman was a particularly good sport when they asked him to borrow his cellphone, put it in a random envelope and then rolled a dice to see which one would get smashed. Of course, the magicians returned his phone fully repaired, found in a completely unexpected place ... something I won’t disclose here. It’s hard to explain, and I would hate to give away the magic of it all.

My favorite part was when they had the whole audience do a trick together. As you entered the theater, you were handed a sealed red enve-

lope and told not to open it until instructed to do so. Inside were different postcards that related to the show.

They gave everyone specific instructions to follow; and if you did, magic would happen. It did indeed work, and I was amazed they got that many people to get the trick to work at the same time.

The sold-out show was packed with fun jokes and language that were definitely for adult ears only. They give you fair warning that if you are offended by such things; this show is not for you. It was fun to let loose and listen to all of the funny puns and innuendos these two Aussies could say.

The “naked” part of the show came into play like a game between the two performers. Whoever was the slowest at escaping the straightjacket had to do a few magic tricks wearing no clothes, but it’s not what you are thinking. A strategically placed top hat prevented the audience from seeing everything.

With the help of an audience member, the hat stayed in position while the trick took place.

The final trick had both magicians in their birthday suits but again, hands and other objects helped keep the “illusion” alive.

The show was an intriguing one for me personally because I was taking my boyfriend to his first-ever theater production. He had been to comedy shows before but never in this setting. It was an odd one to start, but he never wavered. I’m sure there were times when he was uncomfortable, but I have to give him props. He went with me and never lost his good humor. He said he enjoyed the show, laughing at most of the jokes and only cringing when a particularly interesting shaped “beach ball” came near him. Next time, we’ll have to go to something a little less ... well I think you get the idea.

Two books and a movie Augusten Burroughs has a new book out to compliment “Running with Scissors,” “Dry,” and “Possible Side Effects.” It’s “Lust and Wonder: A Memoir.” Like all of Augusten’s books, his sarcastic, witty prose is what carries it, for me. “Then there were the tangled, guttural vocalizations the Dutch people made to form their own private little language. Dutch isn’t easy for the outsider to learn, because it’s spoken from the back of the throat at the trigger spot for the gag reflex. In order to make the correct sounds, you have to have quite a bit of phlegm at the ready, which is probably why everybody smokes. Nonsmokers can’t even understand Dutch, let alone speak a single word of it. The word for ‘hello!’ is actually the noise you make when you clear your throat really hard before hurling out a loogie onto the ground.” “Other than a question mark at the end of a declarative statement, a smiley face is the most passive-aggressive form of punctuation known to man.”

I’ll give Augusten Burroughs an eight-out-of-10 for his latest book.

A movie I highly recommend is, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,” starring Tina Fey. Tina Fey, as you may recall, is the lady who plays Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live.” However, this movie, based on a true story, is no laughing matter, although there are many funny scenes, like Kim Baker (Fey) having to urinate in the middle of a combat mission. Kim Baker is an imbedded war correspondent in Afghanistan and Pakistan during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2003. Having a non-fulfilling job as a copy editor, she takes a life-changing step and goes overseas to become a war correspondent. It’s the classic scenario of losing oneself, to find oneself. The catchy title, “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” may seem like the title of a series of combat missions, which it might be. But if you take the first letter of each word, put them together, you’ll see a vulgar acronym, which pretty much describes life as an imbedded reporter in the war-torn Middle East. Fey does an outstanding job of acting, as do all the bitpart actors, including Billy Bob Thornton. She even outshines Margot Robbie, whose latest gig is Jane in “The Legend of Tarzan.” “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I was beginning to think there were no more good movies. I watched it twice, in the comfort of our home, where Ginnie and I can hit pause, take a break and let Buddy out. I’ll give “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” a 10.

Back in my early days as a door-to-door insurance salesman, I canvassed into Utopia Park in Fairfield, a huge trailer park next to Maharishi University. Believe it or not, meditators buy insurance. I was struck speechless by the thought of a trailer park named “Utopia.” “How presumptuously grandiose,” I thought to myself. So, when “Greetings From Utopia Park,” by Claire Hoffman came out, I had to read it. It’s an excellent coming-of-age book, very well written, thought provoking and possibly life changing. Yep. In her first book, Hoffman demonstrates herself as an outstanding writer, one from whom we will hopefully be hearing a lot more. Written in the first person, Hoffman relates her experience growing up with the “Roos,” turning her back on a life “hidden inside your head,” but then returning. Why? “...meditation provides a space that is uniquely my own, a mode of being that is totally separate from the ups and downs of everyday. When I can make myself settle into that quiet, transcendent space, I’m reminded on a deep level of who I am and that feels really good, like a big glass of water when I’m thirsty.” Don’t fall into the ostrich-with-its-head-in-ahole thinking that Herbert Spencer describes as “contempt prior to investigation.” Open your eyes, open your mind, and take a look at a lifestyle thousands of years old. I’ll give “Greetings From Utopia” (Not “Zootopia”) a solid 10-plus.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Disappointed in city’s marketing plan As the former Director of Marketing and Tourism for the Jasper County Alliance for Economic Development I am extremely disappointed to learn what is happening to this position. When the Chamber, Economic Development, Housing Development and CVB worked together under one umbrella promoting Newton as a place to live, work and play, we were able to accomplish all that is being described from the marketing angle and then some using the synergies of all four organizations. The proposed faceted approach will not fix the problem, only add another person to the

No bike lanes needed on First Avenue I read with interest the editorial of July 13. I would agree with your opinion, but you didn’t mention anything regarding the proposed bicycle lanes.

In my humble opinion, that idea is one of the most ridiculous ideas I have heard in a long while. Why would they need two-bicycle lanes? In the last 12 to 18 months the observance I have made, the number of bicycles on East First Avenue you could count the finger on your

mix with yet another marketing message.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau is a fantastic organization that markets the community from a tourism perspective.

The Chamber and Economic Development promote and market the livability of the community. If the city wants to “fix” the issue and start looking bigger picture, a meeting should be had to bring these organizations back together. It is effective, and in a community the size of Newton, the most cost effective for these organizations is to come together for the betterment of the community.

The communities sited as examples in the article — Ankeny, Johnston, etc. — may all have a marketing division in their community but they also work with the Des Moines CVB. It is

the Des Moines CVB that promotes the tourism efforts for these communities. They have a CVB to promote tourism for their community and the entire Des Moines region. There is a lot more a CVB Director does than market and by bringing this position in with the mission just to market is selling yourself short. Hire a marketing firm if all you want to accomplish is put together a new shiny marketing plan.

I would strongly encourage the city council to give me a call any time (515-331-6855) or contact the Iowa Tourism office and/or the Des Moines CVB to receive additional information before moving forward. You are selling yourself short — you can do better Newton.

right hand and have a couple left over.

I believe there has been thousands of dollars spent on bike trails in and around Newton so why any on First Avenue? I know what I am about to say will raise the ire of all bike enthusiasts, but to me, it makes sense. Should they allow them to ride on the streets then there should be a fee to do so. Golf carts, rangers and four wheelers are not allowed to ride the streets. The ATVs and snowmobiles pay registration fees to the state, so what makes the bicycles any different.

I know the argument is they don’t do anything to

erode the roadways like all the above-mentioned items. To me that is not an argument.

Recent articles in the Des Moines Register speak about the increase in bike/vehicle accidents that result on the loss of life, let’s not take a chance and add to the problem by adding bike lanes to First Avenue.

I hope the council will take a very serious look at changing First Avenue from four lanes to three and add bike lanes. It can’t be justified. If they want to do something different allow golf carts on the street so long as they are street legal.

Husband wants long-lost sister to remain that way

DEAR ABBY: My husband and his sister had a rough childhood in foster care. Long story short, they lost contact for 10 years — until now. She found us on Facebook and was desperate to know if she had found her brother or not. My husband ignored her. He isn’t sure he ever wants to rebuild a relationship with her.

I know that’s his decision to make, and if he doesn’t want her in his life, that’s fine. But I couldn’t live with myself if I ignored her, too. I just wanted her to know she could stop looking and wondering if her brother is still alive. So I told her. She was grateful to have some closure and know that he is doing well, and she reassured me that she wouldn’t contact him again unless he reaches out to her. Even if they never talk again, I think she deserved to know she had found him.

Now I feel guilty for going behind his back and meddling in things that aren’t my business. But I can’t imagine spending my whole life searching for a family member, when someone could have been honest with me and given me peace of mind. Did I make a terrible mistake, and should I come clean to my husband about what I did? — FEELING GUILTY IN GEORGIA DEAR FEELING GUILTY: You failed to mention the reason for your husband’s ambivalence about re-establishing a relationship with his sister. Now that she has found you on Facebook, she can follow his whole life, unless you block her. Whether you made a terrible mistake remains to be seen. If the sister contacts your husband again, you will have to tell him what you did. He may have wanted to protect his privacy. As long as she doesn’t, I think you should keep your mouth shut.

daughter has just finished school. She now wants to take a gap year and work to save enough to travel overseas. The problem is, she’s so eager to get away from home that she wants to move to another city to work.

I have advised her that staying home and working will allow her to save more to travel, and she would have to pay for her food, accommodation and transportation, and would have little left over to save to travel. She got upset with me and could not understand why I wouldn’t want to pay her rent or support her. Am I being unreasonable saying that she should pay her own way if she moves out of the home?

— MOM IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA DEAR MOM: If anyone thinks that an attitude of entitlement is strictly a problem in the United States, your letter should banish that notion. What you told your daughter makes perfect sense. If she wants independence, she should be prepared to accept the responsibility for living that way.

I would, however, encourage you to continue the dialogue with her so you can understand why she feels the need to live apart from you, on the chance that a compromise might be possible.

I’m sure it would be enlightening.

Infant dropped off at Mason City fire station MASON CITY — An infant dropped off at the Mason City fire station has been turned over to state authorities.

Police officers were sent to the station around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The little boy, who appeared to be about a year old, was taken to a hospital to be checked out. It’s unclear whether the person or people who dropped him off explained the action. Iowa law allows parents or their representatives to leave babies up to 14 days old at health care facilities, without fear of prosecution.

Hy-Vee, Bar-S issue food recalls Newton Daily News Two major companies announced food recalls this week.

Tuesday, Bar-S Foods Company announced it is recalling more than 370,000 pounds of chicken and pork hot dog and corn dog products that may be adulterated with Listeria according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Wednesday, Hy-Vee, Inc., announced its voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Hy-Vee no-salt-added black beans across its eight-state region due the potential presence of plastic and/ or metal pieces within the product.

The Bar-S products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. P-81A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

A full list of the case codes subject to recall can be found here: bit.ly/29UXmYu FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.

Consumers with questions regarding the recall can call the Bar-S Foods Consumer Hotline at 1-888-965-6134.

The Hy-Vee black been recall is voluntary.

It is limited to 15-ounce cans of Hy-Vee NoSalt-Added Black Beans with the code “Best By 04 APR 2019 258F2 095 16 XXXX” and UPC number of 0075450105190. The product was sold at Hy-Vee stores in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin between April 22 and July 18.

To date, no injuries have been reported in connection with this product.

The potential for contamination was discovered after Faribault Foods, Inc., Hy-Vee’s supplier, announced it was issuing a recall after one consumer reported finding a partial ink pen in one container.

The product was manufactured at the company’s Faribault, Minn., facility, which supplies several major retailers across the United States.

Faribault Foods, Inc. has determined this to be an isolated incident.

Out of an abundance of caution, Hy-Vee is recalling the product from all of its stores. No other Hy-Vee food items are impacted by this recall.

Customers who purchased this product should discard it or return it to their local HyVee store for a full refund. Questions can be directed to Hy-Vee Customer Care representatives, available 24 hours a day, seven days per week at 1-800-772-4098.

Newton Parks Board recaps Fourth of July events Largest turnout for fireworks in recent years

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News The Fourth of July fireworks event and other recently completed projects were discussed at the Newton Parks Board monthly meeting Wednesday night at city hall.

Board members Amanda Price, Melanie Humphrey, Marc Jackson and board chair Adam Vandall were in attendance, along with parks administrator Nathan Unsworth and city councilwoman Evelyn George.

The board began with a conversation about how to improve the fireworks event, based on its observations and feedback from the fireworks event on July 4 at Agnes Patterson Park.

Overall, the four board members said the event was a great success with a large turnout and positive response.

“It was the first year we filled the parking lot, and it seemed liked there were a lot more people out there, so it was awesome,” Price said.

There were a few things to work on such as the event space layout, traffic control and parking availability. The thought of future public

transportation options, rides from a commuter lot, were discussed as well as area parking lot availability, like the city-owned Memorial Park Cemetery.

Another priority is to increase the number or variety of activities offered to those in attendance.

“We need something to bring in that other age group 8-12 because you’ve got volleyball for high schoolers or adults and bounce houses ... so we’ve got to find something for them to do,” Humphrey said.

The addition of a bags tournament, horse shoes, lawn darts or other games could help entertain youth of different age groups.

by was also mentioned as a possible activity for people. Unsworth mentioned a local church was organizing a similar event.

“If we can get other organizations involved in stuff that day they can be in charge of the events instead of Nathan because we don’t have that many volunteers among us because a lot of us are already doing other things,” Price said.

Feedback from the event included large interest in future beer sales, such as a beer tent, as long as it doesn’t take away from being a family-friendly environment, Jackson said.

“I heard really good things about the actual fireworks themselves and a lot of people said it was one of the best shows they’ve seen,” Price said.

Newton Parks has a balance of $1,500 to go toward the 2017 fireworks event. Newton Parks and Newton Chamber may also work together in the future to better utilize time and resources.

Slow start plagues CMB softball in state opener

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — The 14thranked Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team proved it belonged on the big stage Wednesday at the Iowa High School State Softball Championships.

The Raiders played competitively with the defending state champions at Harlan and Hazel Rogers Sports Complex.

Unfortunately, a slow start and a few uncharacteristic miscues in the field were too much to overcome.

“You had a team that has been here before, and a team that hasn’t, and we came out and made some uncharacteristic mistakes and just didn’t play like we have been all year,” CMB coach Troy Houge said following the Raiders’ 8-5 loss to thirdranked Solon. “We just didn’t do enough. We have to do more if we want to win down here. We didn’t come up with hits when we needed them. We struck out too much today.”

STATE | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Megan Ritter reached base twice Wednesday during the Raiders’ 8-5 loss to No. 3 Solon at the state softball tournament in Fort Dodge on Wednesday. Ritter singled and scored in the first inning and then was hit by a pitch in the sixth.

CMB baseball team clinches berth into state tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Four seasons after back-to-back one-win campaigns, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter baseball team is state tournament bound.

Junior Brady Kemp hit a two-run double in the first inning to give the Raiders an early lead, and then his bases-loaded, three-run double in the seventh put the finishing touches on CMB’s 6-1 win over Ogden during the Class 2A Substate 7 title game Wednesday at Norsemen Field.

Both of Kemp’s run-scoring hits came with two outs and were plenty of support for senior Brady Stover, who once again showed he is one of the best 2A pitchers in the state.

Stover fanned 18 Bulldogs on the night, allowed just one hit and walked two in improving to 4-0 this postseason.

“It’s unbelievable. That’s the only word I have to describe it,” Seeman said. “These guys are so deserving, especially the seniors. They have stuck it out

during not so great seasons of baseball with me and other coaches. The upperclassmen are carrying us right now.”

This CMB senior class has come a long way since their eighth grade year. The Raiders went 1-21 in 2012 and 1-22 in 2013. They improved that win total to 8-14 in Seeman’s second season and then went 10-15 and reached the district final last year.

The 2016 season had plenty of ups and downs. But behind Stover’s left arm and some clutch hitting from a different Raider each night, the Raiders’ season will culminate at Principal Park in Des Moines for the first time in program history.

The Iowa High School Boys State Baseball Tournament kicks off Friday. The Raiders begin their tournament run at 7:30 p.m. Monday against Carroll Kuemper Catholic.

“During my first three years, we had kids picking up the gloves for the first time at the first practice of the season,” Stover said. “But we started getting more and more guys committed to be-

Siblings play key roles in CMB history T

he Iowa High School Athletic Association and the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union are two separate entities.

One governs male sports and the other focuses on female athletics.

So when it comes time for postseason play, games typically fall on the same days.

That’s what happened to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter this week.

The CMB softball team was playing in its first-ever state tournament game in Fort Dodge just a few hours before the baseball team was trying to become the first squad in program history to reach the state baseball tournament in Story City.

It can get crazy for fans trying to give their support in both places. It was especially crazy on Wednesday for Don and Cheryl Ritter and Bryce and Beth Caple, who have children on both teams.

“We split up typically and one of us goes to softball and the other to baseball,” Cheryl Ritter said. “But at this

ing better year round. The guys overall are just more dedicated to the sport. We knew we had the talent. It showed tonight and throughout the playoffs.”

Stover’s run through the postseason has been nothing short of amazing. He has been on the mound for 28 of the 30 total innings. In those innings, Stover has struck out 67 batters, allowed five hits and walked eight.

He began the game with a 3-0 count to Ogden’s leadoff hitter Zach McCloud but followed with nine straight strikes in fanning the side in the first. He also struck out the side in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings.

The only hit he surrendered came from Jade Thompson in the third, and that was a bunt single down the third-base line that nearly rolled foul.

Graham Tews led off the second inning with a walk and then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Stover (7-0) ended the inning with back-to-back strikeouts but BASEBALL | 2B

This & That Troy Hyde point in the season, you really want to be at both places. We are fortunate that we can do that. I am happy that both games are in the same corner of the state.”

The boys association did place the Raiders baseball team close enough to Fort Dodge that it made it possible to see both games on the same night.

I covered both games myself, but there weren’t many minutes to spare.

The Ritter family is staying in Fort Dodge for the week. The Caples decided to drive back and forth in support of their two children — Creighton and Hannah.

No matter how you slice it, the week has been fun, nerve wracking and exciting for both families.

“It’s been very nerve-wracking,” Bryce Caple said. “Neither program has been this far and to be able to have them both go this far in the same year has been wonderful.”

The softball team lost its first-round game against No. 3 Solon on Wednesday. A few hours later, the baseball team clinched its first-ever state tournament with a big win over Ogden in the substate final.

That means Creighton Caple and

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Creighton Caple celebrates a Brady Stover strikeout during the latter stages of Wednesday’s Class 2A Substate 7 victory over Ogden in Story City. Caple and the Raiders earned their first-ever berth into the boys state baseball tournament.

Brad Ritter will join their younger siblings — Megan Ritter and Hannah Caple — as four Raiders helping the two programs make history this season.

“It’s a cool thing. I am over the moon excited for the girls,” Beth Caple said. “And it’s cool to have the boys join them in the same year. To have kids on both teams has been amazing, fun and crazy. It’s all of that.”

The softball team can still finish as high as fifth Thursday. The baseball team begins their tournament run at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Principal Park in Des Moines.

Wednesday was the only day that will present too much conflict for the two families. Both families had planned to travel to both places a day earlier but rain washed out play at both sites.

That just added more craziness to an already crazy story.

“It’s amazing. It’s the pinnacle. It’s what you always want for your kids,” Cheryl Ritter said. “There’s just a lot of happiness right now.”

The Ritters have a vacation planned for whenever the season ends. If the baseball team advances all the way to the Class 2A state championship game on July 30, the vacation to Table Rock Lake gets put on hold for a day.

“We planned it that way. We plan the vacations around the games,” Dan Ritter said.

They also don’t plan a lot of meals at home.

“There is not much on the menu right now. Most of our food is concession stand orders and Casey’s Pizza,” Dan Ritter joked. “It’s been a fun summer. It’s been fun to see both Brad and Megan succeed like this.”

With a child on each team, conversations around the house, in the car and anywhere else revolve around baseball and softball. For the past 10 days, those conversations have been a lot more fun.

Neither sibling could watch the other one play Wednesday because of their own obligations. Brad and Creighton are looking forward to catching their younger sisters’ games Thursday though.

“We are just happy that both of us have gotten this far,” Creighton Caple said. “It would have been special for one of the teams to make it. Having both of us make it is amazing. We have been so supportive of each other.

It’s been great to be a part of this with her.”

Brad Ritter added, “We are both very supportive of each other’s teams.

We want the best for each other. Getting to see her play tomorrow will be amazing. She is at the top spot in the state. How cool is that?”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Jordynn Wesselink, left, tags out Solon’s Taylor Moore at third base during the Raiders’ 8-5 loss at the state softball tournament Wednesday.

State Continued from Page 1B The loss sends the Raiders into the Class 3A consolation bracket. They face No. 15 Atlantic at noon Thursday. The winner plays for fifth and the loser battles for seventh later in the day. Both of those games will be at 4 p.m.

Solon (33-9) struck first with three runs in the first inning and then countered CMB’s first attempt at a comeback when it plated three more runs in the second.

CMB junior Abbey Kahler got the start in the circle, but she lasted just two innings after the Spartans jumped out to a 6-2 lead.

Three of the first four Spartans reached base. That included Jess Heick, who reached on an error and then scored on a second CMB miscue.

The Raiders rallied in the bottom of the first inning. Ju-

Baseball Continued from Page 1B not before Tews stole third and home to put Ogden (2012) on the board. The only other base runner Stover allowed was a walk to Conner Paulsen in the seventh.

“I never thought we would make it this far ever. I am so pumped for this team,” Stover said. “We have been playing together year after year, and the dedication has paid off.

We deserve this.”

Kemp made sure Stover’s effort on the mound resulted in a win.

With two outs in the first inning, junior Creighton Caple was hit by a pitch and then senior Brad Ritter walked.

nior Megan Ritter singled and then sophomore Katie Camp and Kahler drew consecutive walks to load the bases. Senior Payge Jurgens trimmed the Raider deficit to 3-1 with an RBI single.

However, CMB’s momentum was halted when courtesy runner Abby Husak was called out for leaving the base too early.

Husak left the base early on a play where junior Mikayla Eslinger smoked the ball to the fence. Two runs would have scored, and the Raiders would have had no outs. Instead, the umpire’s call eliminated Eslinger’s hit and gave CMB one out.

Eslinger hit an RBI single eventually, and that closed the gap to 3-2, but two consecutive fly outs ended the Raiders’ threat.

“I don’t know if it was a good call because I couldn’t see it,” Houge said. “However, I saw their girl leave early in

the first inning, and it wasn’t called. It was the lead-off hitter so if she’s out, maybe they don’t score three runs. It cost us a run but also gave them a run. I am not putting any blame there, but that was a big play in the game.”

A two-run home run by Bryn Hanrahan in the second inning helped push Solon’s lead to 6-2. It also chased Kahler from the circle. She was replaced by eighth-grader Mikayla Houge, who allowed two runs the rest of the way.

“I felt bad for pulling Abbey in the second inning, but it just wasn’t working,” Coach Houge said. “Her ball was staying up about waist high, and that’s where we can’t have it.

“Mikayla kept us in the game. She made one mistake, and they manufactured another run.”

The Raiders rallied to within a run in the third inning.

Jurgens singled with one out, and then Eslinger followed

with an infield single. With two outs, Mikayla Houge drew the Raiders within 6-4 following a two-run single. A third run crossed homeplate later in the inning when Solon committed an error on a fly ball by eighth-grader Holly Jessen.

Unfortunately, CMB (259) couldn’t maintain the momentum.

Heick homered off Houge in the fifth inning and then the Spartans added an insurance run in the top of the seventh.

CMB had runners on second and third with Kahler and Jurgens coming up to the plate in the sixth, but Kahler flew out to right field to end the threat.

Jurgens led off the seventh with a double, but Solon’s McKenna Miller (21-4) retired three straight to end the game.

“We got it back to 6-5, and then started chasing bad pitches and quit hitting the stuff we normally hit,” Coach

Houge said. “That’s too bad because we had a shot to still win the game.

“Once we got it back to 6-5, we started to press. That’s uncharacteristic of our team.”

Kahler (13-5) allowed six runs — five earned — on six hits. Houge surrendered two earned runs on five hits while striking out three, walking one and hitting another.

“I think we came out a little nervous and weren’t ready to make the plays we are supposed to make,” Mikayla Houge said. “We did a good job of coming back, but our bats just didn’t do enough.”

“We just have to see if we can come back and get our first win at state,” Coach Houge said. “We have the chance to end our season on a high note. I would like to build into next year, too.”

Kemp then strolled to the plate and laced a 2-1 pitch over the left fielder’s head. The double plated Caple and Ritter to make it 2-0.

Senior Spencer Gauch added to the Raiders’ lead in the second. He was hit by a pitch, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and then scored on another wild pitch.

That made it 3-0 and chased Ogden starter Nick Ross (7-6), who took the loss and lasted just 1 1/3 innings.

Bulldog reliever Carter Church, a freshman, kept the Raiders off balance until the seventh. He struck out a total of six in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but Kemp came through again in CMB’s final at-bat.

The three-run seventh inning started with a Gauch sin-

gle. Church retired the next two batters but walked Caple and Ritter to load the bases.

Kemp, who hit a team-best .403 on the season, drilled another double to the fence to clear the bases. That made it 6-1 and essentially put the game away for the Raiders (14-11).

“It feels amazing. Words can’t describe my feeling. I am honored and blessed to be a part of this team,” Kemp said.

Having not gotten a hit in the two previous playoff games, Kemp decided to make a few changes for Wednesday’s game.

The most notable change was the use of a lighter bat. Seeman also moved him down a few spots in the batting order.

“I think he puts way too much pressure on himself in the three hole, so I told him that I was going to switch him

and Creighton, move him down the order a little bit,” Seeman said. “I moved him, and I think that was enough mentally. He’s his own worst enemy sometimes.”

Kemp finished 2-for-4 with five RBIs against Ogden. Caple also had success in his new spot in the order, finishing 1-for-2 with two runs scored, a walk and a hit by pitch.

“With (Stover) pitching, I thought the game was over when we went up 2-0,” Caple said. “The momentum kind of died in the dugout during the middle innings, but that hit

by Brady Kemp was huge. It sealed the deal.”

Ritter did not get a hit in the game, but he walked twice and scored two runs.

“I’ve just never felt anything like this in my life,” Rit-

ter said. “Looking back, we won one game my freshman year. We’ve improved and matured so much over the years.

This is amazing.”

The Substate 7 championship game was originally slated for Tuesday night in Boone. Rain washed out that game, forcing the game to be played a day later and in a different location.

The state baseball tournament is at Principal Park, home of the Triple-AAA Iowa Cubs. All four 2A quarterfinals will be played Monday.

The Raiders, who have won five straight games, end the night with a game against Kuemper Catholic at 7:30 p.m.

Astrograph

Self-reflection requires an elevated state of being, maturity, the desire to improve and a certain development of mind.

Know that inward journeying can be as treacherous as other kinds. Avoid the danger by practicing compassion when you turn inward. This message was brought to you by the dynamics of Venus and Neptune.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21). A surprise-ball of a year!

Your attitude of receptiveness (tempered only slightly, which is more than enough, by your brilliant and constant common sense) invites the wonder and “zing” while leaving out the trouble. Relationships entail

focus and pleasure. Homebuilding feeds the needs of your family at year’s end.

Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 33, 21, 4 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You will be where the action is, whether it seems like it at the time or not. It’s one of those instances when everyone involved will look back and say, “That’s where it started.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are present for your friends when they need you.

This is easier for you because you don’t over-think it. You’re not worried about what to say

and do. You wisely know that just your presence is enough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It will be easier to laugh and be lighthearted when you are around people who are buoyant of spirit like you are. You can’t always choose your company, but stay on the lookout for fun people you can connect with in the future.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Do you feel lucky to be an object of sweet affection? Your face is the first thing a certain person thinks of in the morning and the last vision of the day before drifting off to sleep.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You didn’t think you could do it, but you went for it anyway, and now look where you are!

From this perfectly prime position you can make a play for your next impossible goal, but much planning is required.

Think it over and over today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your intention to spread enough positive energy and goodwill to make a difference in the world will land lovely today. “Enough” will be reached by lunchtime. It’s the simple, small, courteous acts that will matter most.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re a giver. The world needs more givers. But the givers of the world also need to remember that there’s a point at which giving can start annoying the receivers. Part of being a good giver is knowing when to take.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

As something very pleasant drops into your world (or someone, as the case may be) caution is called for. This could be very addictive. Go slow; make good choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you don’t take the morning problems too personally you can likely solve most of them by the afternoon. It wouldn’t be any fun at all if you could get what you needed without incident or complication!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Saying yes to something you’d typically decline will be the right move. Fifteen minutes chatting with a friend or playing with children will make your entire mood go brighter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The recipe for today’s gentle joy: one part predictability, two parts unpredictability. Plan a special occasion and you’ll get just that! Nothing major is required; preparing a delicious dish may be more than enough.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Who do you suspect are the people in your life who’ve loved you the most? Considering the answer to this question will give you the grateful heart that allows you to extract the beauty from this day.
