‘More walking, less squawking’ The Walking Monk strolls through Newton

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News Bhaktimarga Swami, also known as “The Walking Monk,” made his way through Newton on Thursday as he continues his project to walk coast to coast across the

country.

Bhaktimarga Swami, which means “path of devotion,” has done walks before across seven other countries including four in his homeland of Canada. He is making his first trip across the United States for a couple of reasons — to promote the walking culture and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hare Krisna movement.

“I think we lost touch with walking, and it’s important to get back to it,” Swami said. “The

one main gain is to get a balance for life.

It’s a good workout of course, but it’s a good ‘workin’ as well meaning you take a little of time to yourself to look at the little things and the little demons inside of you that you want to address.”

He explains walking as an internal cleaning as it not only provides a physical workout, but improves the mental state as well.

“I really believe strongly in ‘more walk-

ing, less squawking,’” he said. “I don’t like cars. I don’t like what cars have done to the world and what they’ve done to us.

Grand Finale

They made us kind of impersonal. That’s the big thing about walking — you meet people.”

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Jenna Smith of Newton guides a beef cow around the pavilion show ring Thursday at the Jasper County Fair’s Supreme Showmanship Contest. Smith, a Berg Middle School eighth-grader and Sherman Sunbeams 4-Her, won reserve grand champion in the contest, which capped the animal exhibition contests at the 2016 fair.

Supreme Showmanship standings:

COLFAX — Jenna Smith has been showing swine and beef cattle since joining the Sherman Sunbeams 4-H Club in elementary school.

She’s been successful, but the Berg Middle School eighth grader did not expect to close out this year’s Jasper County Fair on Thursday with a reserve champion ribbon in the Supreme Showmanship Contest — a spot usually locked up by senior 4-H and FFA exhibitors.

“I feel really good about myself that they actually chose me as reserve,” Smith said as she prepared to load her hogs at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax. “I know I wasn’t champion, but I only lost by one point. I’m honored because Brice Leonard always want-

ed to get this program started.”

Supreme Showmanship is in its third year as a Jasper County Fair event and tops off the week’s agricultural contests.

Supreme Showmanship is in memory of Brice Leonard, a 33-year-old Baxter resident and graduate of Colfax-Mingo High School who died in 2010. Leonard was heavily involved in the ag industry including serving as vice president of the Jasper County Fair Board, was on the All Breeds Sheep Council and a member of the Iowa Sheep Industry Association — among many other agricultural related endeavors.

The county fair’s showmanship grand champion in each species class gets the opportunity compete for the title of Supreme Showman.

Special education the focus of pre-meeting workshop

Each contestant has to show seven animal species. The exhibitors usually have a specialty — Smith’s primary animals are swine and beef cow.

Smith said to prepare she enlisted the advice of her cousin, who is a regular horse exhibitor, to give her a crash course on an animal that is bigger than her hogs and taller than her beef cow.

“They told me always look at the judge and smile — these little things you do in horse showmanship, such as put your toes this way or move around the horse when the judge walks that way,” she said.

“They taught me how to set (the horse) up when you stop, like the clicking and trotting.”

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News One of the many pluses for the Newton Community School District in re-opening Emerson Hough as an everyday elementary school this year will be outfitting the 90-year-old building with some of the latest technology.

Emerson Hough, like the district’s other three K-4 campuses, will have a computer lab. At Monday’s regular meeting, the board will consider the purchase of 24 desktop computers for the lab, along with 80 staff laptop computers.

Monday’s meeting is

set for 6:30 p.m. at the EJH Beard Administrative Center, formerly known as the Hy-Vee West building.

That’s the only main action item on a relatively light agenda for Monday’s meeting. The other action item is to accept a recently made donation of a Cardinal statue at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

There will also be an overall update of the facilities projects at Emerson Hough. This summer’s upgrades include classroom modifications, carpeting and a new HVAC system.

Reading program starting final summer in Newton Assistance with skills will move to Marshalltown

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A highly praised summer youth literacy skills program is about to begin its final summer in Newton.

This will be the ninth and final year Buena Vista University offers a two-week reading-skills program to about 40 Newton students, with the program relocating to Marshalltown for 2017.

The program, which also allows instructors to receive credit toward a reading-teacher endorsement, has served dozens of Newton-area youth — some as much as four or five summers in a row.

The course will be held Monday through Friday for the first two weeks of August, beginning Aug. 1. The morning session has already been filled, but there are still a handful of spots open in the afternoon session, which runs from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

The program is for readers entering the first through the sixth grades.

The charge for the program, held on the second floor of the DMACC-Newton building, is $10.

Even though there were about 40 students receiving help in the 2015 session, this will be the final year the program will be offered in Newton, according to Buena Vista University Director of Marketing & Communications Jennifer Felton.

“We have decided to consolidate our education programs that were previously offered in Newton and Iowa Falls to a centralized location in Marshalltown,” Felton said. “We made this decision in order to pro-

Local students receive BVU degrees STORM LAKE — In May 2016, the following area students graduated from Buena Vista University: Teresa Rhone, of Newton, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and human services; Jerry Roby, of Baxter, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education; Michelle Gonzales, of Newton, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration; Brianna Meyer, of Newton, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in human services and psychology; and Aaron Cook, of Lynnville, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in management.

Loras College names dean’s list students DUBUQUE — Loras College has announced the names of students who achieved dean’s list status for the 2016 spring semester.

A student must earn a 3.5 grade point average and carry a minimum of 12 credit hours to be recognized.

Rachel E. Prendergast, of Newton, was among the students named.

vide the best access to resources and the best learning experience for our students.

Bob Williams, who has helped coordinate the Newton program, said he really hopes the instructors can continue to help build reading skills, using a variety of technology and other innovative methods.

“We want to make this last year in Newton a really good one for the program,” Williams said, describing the range of books and materials used.

“We expect 40 to 50 kids for these sessions.”

After an assessment on the first day, each student will work in a fairly

age-specific group, with the younger students getting more visual instruction and the older groups doing more hands-on activities. Williams said instructors adjust as they go, based on needs.

“Students generally start out a little behind their grade level, but some actually start out above it, and they and/or their parents just want them to stay sharp,” Williams said.

“But most make progress.

We work with all reading levels. The ones who have come back year after year, we can really see their growth as readers.”

Students get to leave each day with a new book, chosen from a se-

lection kept in a common area.

“The main thing is just to get books in their hands — books they actually choose to read,” Williams said. “This helps motivate them.”

Williams said since so many youth are involved sports and other activities in June and July, the timing of going over literacy skills right before the school year starts makes things easier on both students and teachers.

“It’s a great way to jump-start the year,” Williams said.

Local & State News Walking Continued from Page 1A came face-to-face with a grizzly bear. A bear, he said, that was interested in him but was luckily scared away by a tractor traveling along the road.

So far, his first walk across America hasn’t had many close calls, but he has caught

the eyes of few people.

A couple of occasions in Iowa City left him answering to police after locals dialed 911 after mistakenly identifying him —wearing his orange robe — as an escaped convict.

However, Swami said police have been nothing but nice to him, especially in Iowa which is a state he is visiting for the first time.

Showmanship Continued from Page 1A

Iowa State University senior and Diamond Trail FFA member Whitney Figland of Monroe, won grand champion in the contest. At 20, she is the oldest of Thursday’s Supreme Showmanship contestants, but Figland said she was still surprised that she came away with the top trophy.

“I was going up against some really good showmen in that group,” she said.

She, too, had to research showmanship techniques for other species. She won grand champion in sheep showmanship on Monday and had three days to brush up on skills. Figland said she researched techniques online and picked the brains of her friends.

Figland is completing her degree in ag education from ISU and Thursday was her last exhibition at the Jasper County Fair as a member of FFA.

A “road diet” as the project is called is utilized to reduce the potential conflicts points on the street. Laube said research has found that in 14 Iowa cities that have been the conversion, the number of accidents reduced by an average of 53 percent.

Figland said she’s ready to move on to the future, but that doesn’t mean the sheep showman won’t miss exhibiting in Colfax.

“I’m sad to see it end and that I won’t be able to show,” she said. “Going to the fair is something I did my entire life. My brother was there showing and I was always there to support him. I started showing and it became a family thing.”

On the pavilion’s show ring sideline Thursday, Supreme Showmanship volunteer Larry Opfer said Leonard’s family, who own and operates Tri-Leonard Farms in Colfax, came up with the idea for the contest.

Opfer is the vice president/ag and commercial loan officer at State Savings Bank in Baxter, which is a co-sponsor of the event. Opfer grew up on a farm around Leon. He said the challenge for Supreme Showmanship contestants is to quickly research and train to show animals outside their specialty.

cluding Newton Public Library to rehydrate, Swami reached his average of 20 miles per day around 1 p.m. just west of Newton. Due to an obligation elsewhere, he will put his walk on hold until Monday when he will return to his exact spot on Highway F48 and make his way west to Colfax.

Bhaktimarga Swami began the walk across America last

fall making his way from New York to Pennsylvania before winter break. He returned to Pennsylvania on Mother’s Day and has walked in a relatively straight line since then.

He plans to reach Grand Island, Neb. as a halfway point this year and complete the entire project next summer.

there were 145 accidents along 1st Avenue between East 14th Street and Iowa Speedway Drive.

reduced to three, the city would be able to install two bike lanes, each five foot wide, on both sides of the road. Those areas would give cyclists a designated area to ride, instead of traveling in vehicle lanes or on sidewalks.

A second part of the project introduces fivefoot sidewalks to both sides of the road. Currently, there are no consistent sidewalks on either side of the street for

pedestrians to use.

“I’ve been asked, why don’t we just put the sidewalk on one side of the street, and the reason is someone would potentially have to cross the street twice if they want to use the sidewalk to down the side of the street where they are going,” Laube said.

Laube did lay out a few disadvantages of the lane reduction, including the loss of passing opportu-

nities which can be important if there are slow moving vehicles and mass transportation bus stops, school bus stops and curbside mail boxes that can decrease traffic flow.

The topic of lane reductions has been discussed at two of the recent Newton City Council meetings with the council eager to hear the public input on the matter. Mayor Mike Hansen went as far to say that if more time is needed to hear the public’s voice, additional open houses will take place in the future.

The Newton Daily News published a July 13 editorial against the lane reduction proposal.

The design phase of the project is set for this fall and winter with plans for it to go out to bid next summer. Construction would likely be in the fall of 2017 or spring of 2018.

What I’ve learned from weight loss Editor’s note: This column originally published Oct. 2, 2015 Weight loss is easy — it’s just going for ice cream once a week instead of three, selecting frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, getting a small instead of a medium, oh and walking there instead of driving, and making similar choices almost every morning, noon and night.

I lost more than 40 pounds in the last year by committing to a change in both diet and exercise. I’ve learned new habits from losing weight but it wasn’t the end that taught me anything. It was the means to the end that has been the most rewarding. If I’ve learned anything at all, it’s that there is no end — that’s a crash diet.

Commit to a goal — Lots of people aim to lose weight but gain it back. It’s

Write On Kate Malott almost inevitable, at least that’s what people think. I vowed to not make that my story. Thankfully, I’ve been able to lose and maintain that but the only reason is due to pure commitment to my sustained success and goals. I’ve worked too hard to slip now.

Committing to making more healthy choices than not and to saying ‘no’ is probably the first skill you need for longevity in a healthier lifestyle. If you need advice its to truly commit to your goals.

Say ‘yes’ to many luxuries but commit to saying ‘no’ more often too. Turning down instant gratification for a long term goal will not only lead to success but also gratification.

Discipline after defeat — Defeat is inevitable, unless your the 1980 Newton Cardinals, but the key to overcoming is

how you handle defeat. In that time, you have to keep looking forward. That is where discipline comes into play.

When you have a bad series of days, you must remind yourself to get back on track and remain disciplined.

A month ago, I ate terribly for about four days straight. I had given in to all my temptations and cravings and I could have just continued to make poor eating decisions like I would have in years past.

But I didn’t.

Discipline takes practice and remember perfection is impossible, so don’t worry about defeat but focus on success and remain discipline even after a period of indulgence.

Patience is a virtue — There’s the saying that “nothing worth having comes easy,” which couldn’t apply more to weight loss. Results don’t happen overnight so you must learn to love yourself in patience. It’s a beautiful organic process.

When you start your change, you’re excited and commitment comes easy

but after awhile you start to question the likelihood that you will change the way you want. Give yourself a chance. Give your body a chance. Give your brain the time it needs to establish new habits.

Don’t forget your purpose — Reminding yourself why you want to change is a big part of continuing a healthy lifestyle. If your purpose is shallow than the results will be too.

Although my desired numerical goal has yet to be achieved, I’m very happy with what I’ve done. The purpose of my change and the desired goal is to simply eat nutritiously and move often for the rest of my capable life.

Reaching small weight loss goals along the way has taught me more about who I am than ever before and it’s important to remain grateful and optimistic. It’s not easy, but change is possible and a necessity to progression. The scary part is, you are the only one in control and you’re the only who can decide who you want to be.

Decide to be healthy and go be it.

So Anyway Dana King

Keeping life easy Editor’s note: This column originally published July 29, 2015 I’m low-maintenance. As I was puttering around my house the other morning before work, I looked up, noticed the time — 7:43 a.m. — and still made it to the office by 8 a.m., I realized just how low-maintenance I’ve actually become.

Back in the day, I could spend hours on my morning ritual — the hair, the clothes, the makeup, the nails, the jewelry — not to mention getting three kids up, fed, dressed and ready for their day. Now, my morning routine looks more like coffee, a load of laundry, coffee, enjoying more coffee while sitting outside, playing a round of Frisbee with my ‘girls,’ tidying the kitchen, another cup of coffee, watering the flowers, packing my lunch and dressing for work.

Nothing against the people that go to great efforts dressing to the nines, nor to imply those folks are placing importance on the wrong things. I’m just saying for me, I’ve chosen a simpler ‘style.’

But, I don’t just mean my appearance. It may have taken me a few years, but I have made a sincere effort to put my whole existence in perspective.

Until just a couple of years ago, I was consumed with my mortality, almost to the point of panic attacks at times. Don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon.

I think a lot of it stemmed from the idea that my hubby wouldn’t be able to raise our kids the right way — MY way — without me. It’s probably the same thought every mom has. I just knew the kids would: • be raised on Ramen noodles, fried bologna and Vienna sausages, • never make their beds • always use the ceiling lights because no one would replace a burned out light bulb in a table lamp • have to eat from paper plates because no one would ever load or unload the dishwasher • live in a house that would smell mildewy from the piles of wet bath towels in their rooms, • have chronic foot problems because each spring they’d hear, “how could you possibly need new shoes already? I just got you that pair at the beginning of the school year!”

Now that they’re grown, I’ve been made redundant from the day-to-day running of their lives and the obsessive fear of not being present for them has subsided. As of today, college-kid is no longer a teenager. (Happy birthday, Carson!)

Oh, they still need my advice, and fortunately for them I’m a champ at offering it, but I’d been forced into mandatory retirement of my fulltime mommy job and was, therefore, alleviated of numerous responsibilities.

So anyway…

I have since chosen to enjoy a simplified existence which includes puttering around my house in the morning, having a cup of coffee, watering my flowers … you get the idea.

Bakken Pipeline update Authorization for taking private property away from individual landowners in Jasper County and allowing an out of state, limited liability corporation (LLC) to use their land for the company’s profit was given by the Iowa Utilities Board. This land grab required the agreement of only two of the three hand-picked, politically appointed people by

politics Building a progressive movement means outlining a positive vision of what we want Iowa to be — a vision that will excite, engage and mobilize people of all ages and walks of life.

We need to build and strengthen people-first organizations that want to challenge the establishment and change business-as-usual politics — groups like Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action.

Without these groups, we won’t be able to effectively shift

the public narrative, elect people who “think like us and act like us,” hold elected officials accountable for “governing as they campaign,” and ultimately change public policy to make our communities more just, more small- democratic. We need to get involved in groups like Iowa CCI Action.

the Governor on the Board.

An LLC means the company may or may not have any assets and therefore their liability is LIMITED. Dakota Access LLC testified at the Iowa Utilities Board hearing that it is a “pass through” entity with virtually no assets. At the proposed pumping rate this pipeline will pass through about 24 million gallons of toxic crude per hour. Say, at one dollar a gallon, that’s 24 million dollars an hour for an LLC company to move this oil through Iowa and

overseas to the world market.

What does Iowa get for this?

It could also pump one million gallons an hour into Iowa’s public waterbodies and invaluable soil. This is clearly a rigged game for the benefit of a few. It does not serve the public convenience as required by state law and actually threatens the common good. It does undermine our faith in this government to protect and serve the people.

Family resents boyfriend for usurping dad’s chair

DEAR ABBY: My beloved father passed away three years ago. One of my older sisters moved in with Mom to help take care of her and be her companion. My sister has a boyfriend my father absolutely disliked, and the rest of our family doesn’t like him either.

My issue (and I’m not the only family member who feels this way) is that when her boyfriend is at the house, he sits in Dad’s chair. It’s hard enough not seeing Dad there anymore, but seeing the boyfriend sitting there is offensive.

Am I wrong for feeling this way? If there is a way, how could I or my family approach the subject with my sister or her boyfriend? — DADDY’S GONE NOW DEAR DADDY’S GONE NOW: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your obviously much-loved father. But the boyfriend may be using Dad’s chair because no one else is using it, and it is comfortable and available.

As I see it, you and your other siblings have two choices: Either speak to the boyfriend and tell him — nicely — that seeing him occupy your father’s special chair is painful for all of you, or replace the chair with one that has less sentimental value.

DEAR ABBY: Some time ago I was descending an escalator when a suitcase belonging to the woman ahead of me got stuck. She had put the bag in front of her, and the wheels had caught on one of the steps. When she reached the bottom of the escalator, she fell over her suitcase, and then I fell over her. I scrambled on my hands and knees as fast as I could to get out of the way of the dozens of people behind us, visualizing a pileup and injuries.

Fortunately, an attendant quickly grabbed the suitcase, and no one was hurt. As he did he said, “NEVER put a suitcase ahead of you on an escalator!

Always carry it behind you so you can control it!” I hope this letter will save

others from what could be a dangerous situation. — AVOIDED A PILEUP IN NEW JERSEY DEAR AVOIDED: Whoa! So do I. Thank you for the warning.

DEAR ABBY: Recently my wife was out for some training all day on a Saturday. Our 11-year-old daughter had been invited to a birthday party on the same day, so I was to drop her off. My wife and daughter told me the birthday party “might or might not” be a sleepover party. My daughter would inform me at the end of the party if she were spending the night.

I wanted to know at the time I dropped her off whether she was going to be sleeping over. My wife claimed I “didn’t need” to know. She accused me of being unreasonable, and said it was OK for me to find out at the end of the party. I don’t mean to be picky, but as a dad was I being unreasonable? — RESPONSIBLE PARENT IN OREGON DEAR PARENT: No. As the parent responsible for your daughter that day, you had every right to know what the plans would be so you could plan your own evening. When the invitation was issued, that information should have been conveyed so your daughter would be prepared and take along her pajamas and toothbrush.

Loebsack discusses new child mental health bill

Congressman hears from area professionals, others

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Thursday afternoon’s roundtable discussion at the Newton Arboretum didn’t last long, but it touched on a powerful and specific subject.

As part of his regular rounds to the 24 counties in his district, U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack stopped in Newton on Thursday, this time to talk a bill he recently introduced to Congress.

Loebsack is the author of HR 5462 — The Children’s Access to Mental Health Services Act — which helps provide matching funds to cover administrative costs for pediatric mental health service providers.

The short-notice appearance by Loebsack

garnered only a small amount of participants, though each one plays a key role in the central Iowa mental health community. Kathy May teaches mental health nursing at Marshalltown Community College, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill Jasper County President Bill Ehler and Kim Zantingh and Terry Sallis of Integrated Treatment Services were also there.

Loebsack’s local district representative, Bri Dennison, was traveling with Loebsack on Thursday.

“This act would allow organizations already receiving funding to get help with administrative costs,” Loebsack said in describing his bill. “And, hopefully, it would free up some funds to hire providers. I keep hear-

ing about a lack of providers — especially psychiatrists.”

The Congressman didn’t talk much about HR 5462, which was introduced June 13 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. He did mention a recent case of a military veteran and Davenport native who committed suicide after being denied admission to the Veterans Administration in Iowa City, and the challenges of getting answers about that situation and mental health care in general.

He also fielded a few concerns from May, Ehler, Sallis and Zantingh.

Loebsack acknowledged some concerns about providers getting paid in a full and timely manner by Iowa’s three recently contracted managed care organiza-

tions.

Sallis touched on the criminalization of mental illness and other ways Iowa is lacking in how it provides mental health facilities or services.

“I know of several agencies that have had to close down because of not getting paid for Medicaid services sufficiently,” Sallis said.

Quarry Springs grand opening includes fishing derby, nature hike

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — The grand opening of Quarry Springs Park, scheduled for Saturday, will give visitors a full experience of what the newly opened park currently has to offer and a vision for its future.

Quarry Springs, formerly known as North Park, initially opened to the public May 1 offering fishing, boating, camping and hiking. Since the soft opening, the Colfax Parks and Recreation Auxiliary Board has made a few adjustments to the operation and is now ready to spread the word about the 470acre land.

“We just wanted to get all the small kinks worked out before we opened it publicly just because we are a volunteer group and didn’t want to be overwhelmed right away,” Quarry Springs Head of Promotions Denae Edwards said. “So now,

hopefully, we have most of the kinks worked out and we’ll be able to make a good representation to people whether it’s their first time out here or they’ve noticed improvements the past couple of months as we’ve had feedback from people on what we need to do better or different.”

Saturday’s grand opening is filled with several fun, and free, activities including a kids fishing derby from 9 to 11 a.m., a freewill lunch serving hamburgers, chips and drinks, and a nature hike through the park’s trails.

Prizes for the fishing derby, most donated by local businesses, will be awarded in the afternoon. Age categories include four and under, five to nine, 10 to 14, and 15 to 18. The contestants will have two hours to hook the largest fish. Edwards said she hopes to have enough prizes for everyone, but that will depend on the number of participants.

File Photo Bob and Teresa Sink were camping last weekend with grandchildren Jeremiah and Jonas and Quarry Springs Park in Colfax. The grand opening for 480-acre gravel quarry is Saturday.

“There’s been good community involvement in that aspect and everybody’s been very helpful in wanting to contribute and help make this successful for the kids,” Edwards said.

People looking to pre-register for the fishing derby can print a

registration form off the Quarry Springs Park’s website or Facebook page, fill it out and bring it to the park’s registration office Saturday morning.

Following the derby and the free-will lunch will be a grand opening ceremony. Guest speak-

ers for the afternoon include Parks and Recreation Auxiliary Board President Doug Garrett, Colfax Mayor David Mast, State Representative Chaz Allen (D-Newton), U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack, and a representative from Martin Marrieta Materials, Inc. Folks who attend Saturday’s grand opening will also be introduced to a brand new Quarry Springs Park logo. The park’s logo is in the shape of the letter “Q” for Quarry Springs. The letter is colored blue to represent the park’s lakes, and green to represent the trees and trails that meander through the 470acre land.

“We picked that one because we liked the “Q” and it can be used as a stand alone logo once it gains recognition,” Edwards said. “Hopefully this will be able to grow as our park continues to grow and people will notice that the “Q” represents Quarry Springs.”

CMB softball claims fifth-place trophy Raiders end season with pair of victories against Atlantic, Mount Vernon

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

FORT DODGE — Players from Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team were still thinking about Wednesday’s 8-5 loss to third-ranked Solon when they stepped back onto the field for Thursday’s two consolation games.

The Raiders were unhappy with how they played against the defending champions but also were eager to showed they belonged in the Iowa High School State Softball Championships.

Playing on a scorching hot day at Dodger Field, Class 3A No. 14 seed CMB proved its worth, downing No. 15 Atlantic in the consolation opener and then finished the tournament with another win over fifth-ranked Mount Vernon.

Junior Megan Ritter belted a three-run double in the second inning to give the Raiders an early lead against Atlantic (2716) and junior Abbey Kahler twirled a seven-hitter during the 3-0 win.

The Raiders jumped out to another quick lead in the fifthplace game, and eighth-grader Mikayla Houge finished off Mount Vernon in the circle during a 6-1, six-inning triumph.

CMB’s historic season ended with a school-record 27 wins and a fifth-place state tournament trophy.

“This is the first time we have been able to end the season with a win,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “You get to go home on a high note, and we get to add to our school-record win total.

“We could have easily folded it up after yesterday’s loss,

but they continued to fight. We are now the fifth-best team in the state. That’s a pretty cool thing. There is nothing to hang our heads about.”

Thursday was all about redemption for the Raiders.

Ritter got redemption from a early error in the opener against Solon when she drove in all three runs in the win over Atlantic. She also scored twice and made several key catches in center field against a Mount Vernon team which came into the week with 29 wins.

“Yesterday’s loss was tough, but we wanted to do the best we could here,” Ritter said after the win over Atlantic. “We want to go 2-1, so we are trying to redeem ourselves after the loss.”

Kahler got redemption, too.

She lasted just two innings and took the loss in Wednesday’s game against Solon but bounced back to deliver a shutout against the Trojans.

She struck out four and walked none in improving to 14-5 on the season.

“It feels great. Yesterday I didn’t do very good, so I wanted to come out here and do better than yesterday, which I think I did. I am happy,” Kahler said. “I am pretty hard on myself anyway, so it was hard to come back today and play, but after a few strikeouts it felt good.”

The Raiders had seven hits against Atlantic. Ritter’s bases-loaded, three-run double was the big one, but Houge and sophomore Jordynn Wesselink each had two hits.

Wesselink, Houge and eighth-grader Holly Jessen scored one run each.

Raider baseball team eager to prove they belong on big stage

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s baseball team poses with its first state tournament banner after defeating Ogden, 6-1, in the Class 2A Substate 7 championship game Wednesday. The Raiders face Carroll Kuemper Catholic in the state baseball tournament at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Principal Park in Des Moines.

It’s a wrap — almost, until S

ummer high school sports wrapped up for me a week ago, but we still have one area high school baseball team playing. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Raiders play in their first-ever state baseball tournament Monday in a Class 2A quarterfinal.

Unlike the CMB softball team, which concluded its first-ever trip to a state softball tournament Thursday, the Raider baseball team is in a single-elimination situation. The Iowa softball tournament plays it out to seventh place, while the Iowa baseball tournament is just about the championship games in its four classifications.

When the CMB Raider boys are done at Principal Park in Des Moines next week, the Newton Daily News sports staff will be through with the 2015-16 high school sports season. It will be just in time to turn our focus

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets to the 2016-17 high school sports season as fall sports practices begin Aug. 8. We’re a month away from fall sports competitions beginning.

Lynnville-Sully’s Sage Ehresman and Colfax-Mingo’s Jacob Lietz have one final football game to play in their high school career. The two area players and Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson have been in Cedar Falls this week preparing for the 44th Iowa Shrine Bowl, which is Saturday.

The 2016 Iowa Shrine Bowl will be played at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, with exclusive statewide television coverage on Mediacom Channel 22 starting at 4 p.m.

Ehresman and Lietz are on the South team. Parkinson is an assistant coach on South head coach Michael Whisner’s coaching staff. Whisner is the head football coach at Adel-DeSoto-Minburn.

Two summers ago, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Stover was watching the state baseball tournament at Principal Park with his father, Wes Stover.

“I remember telling my dad that it was a bummer that I would never get to play here,” Brady Stover said. “I can’t believe two years later, that is no longer true. We get to play here.

And I can’t wait.”

The Raiders indeed will play at Principal Park. The sixth-seeded CMB baseball team

The two players head to college football careers this fall. Ehresman is off to William Penn University in Oskaloosa and Lietz is playing for Grand View University in Des Moines.

The annual Shrine Bowl parade is at 9:30 a.m. Saturday on Main Street in Cedar Falls. Prairie City-Monroe’s Kayla Schakel is on the Shrine Bowl cheer squad.

Tickets for the game are $15 per person. Children under 6 are free.

Proceeds from the Iowa Shrine Bowl support The Shriner’s Hospitals for Children.

Winding up the summer sports is the final race weekend at Iowa Speedway July 29-30. The K&N Pro Series Casey’s General Stores 150 is July 29 and the second NASCAR Xfinity Series stop at Iowa Speedway is July 30 with the U.S. Cellular 250.

Don’t miss the team Hauler Parade from Iowa Speedway through downtown Newton on Thursday. It is at 6 p.m. to kickoff the race weekend. Both races are under the lights at the Newton track to finish out the 2016 racing season at Iowa Speedway.

begins Class 2A state tournament play at 7:30 p.m. Monday against third-seeded Carroll Kuemper Catholic.

CMB (14-11) takes a five-game win streak into the tournament.

The Raiders outscored their opponents 21-1 in four postseason games.

To continue that run and earn a win at Principal Park, CMB will have to shut down a Kuemper offense that is averaging 7.11 runs per game and hitting .325 as a team.

“They are pretty good hitting team,” CMB coach Max Seeman said.

BASEBALL | 6B

On the national and international sports scene: The Kansas City Royals are still up and down this season. The 2015 World Champions did visit the White House Thursday. I got to love this team of guys who seem to have a lot of fun playing baseball. Sure, I want them back in their third straight World Series, but if it doesn’t happen, I’m not down about how the team is performing because the guys are playing hard and making it competitive. You can’t ask for much more than that.

My friend Josh Honeycutt did not make the U.S.A. Olympic track team in triple jump. I’m looking forward to seeing how our athletes fare at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Action starts Aug. 5 and runs through Aug. 21.

“U.S.A. U.S.A.” So, you see it is a wrap on some things, but we’ll be going right into the fall seasons in a couple of weeks.

Right now, all I can say is, “stay frosty out there gang.”

If the limits were lifted, the barriers broken, the obstacles obliterated, what would you do? Come on: Think bigger, bolder, more colorfully about this one! Approach as though you could do anything at all your heart desired. The burst of free-play energy that accompanies the sun’s breakthrough into Leo is not to be wasted!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 22). Your solar return comes with a deep sense of flourishing. You’ll watch and learn from the best over the next 10 weeks so that you can deliver a state-of-the-art product and reap the rewards of excellence. Family, love and music

fill your year-end. A financial reorganization effort will help other areas of life. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 39, 4, 26 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Someone near you is lonelier than you know, but you can help. It won’t take much. Children aren’t the only ones who are fortified by social development efforts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s a time and a place for self-scrutiny, but that’s for another day. Right now, rest assured there is absolutely nothing to be gained from fo-

cusing on what you did wrong.

Consider your successes and build on them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The thing that will give you the most energy and motivation today will be something quite out of the ordinary. Travel off your usual path to sparkle up your mind’s eye.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your favorite people will be around, and you’ll all have time to enjoy each other, too.

This is the best combination!

It doesn’t happen smoothly like this all the time, and you will appreciate the moments.

Tonight will get even better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It will feel as though things are really starting to happen for

you. Whether or not you see the hard evidence for this now, there’s a vision in your head that’s starting to solidify in real time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Like most socially successful people, you spend so much time effectively controlling and censoring yourself to cater to the company you’re in that when you finally find yourself with a kindred spirit, it’s an absolute party.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Once you work yourself into a good mood, it will prove to be so much more than a good mood; you will exist in an optimal state of being for a long stretch. Is this because of the exercise?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

At certain times of the day your thoughts will be a whirlpool. Now, what’s at the vortex of this swirl? If it’s something wonderful, you might want to let yourself get dragged into it.

If not, seek higher ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s easier to be organized when you don’t have or want much, when the distractions are few and when your hours to work on what matters are many. It won’t happen naturally, but how can you make it happen?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A few things will be accomplished piece by piece, but a lot of things will be finished with a system. Set it up so you can scale it up. If your life

were a factory, what would that look like?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your most sincere wish is for the people you love to find happiness, be at peace, and experience beauty -- preferably, with you as a key component to the dynamic. If not, is this still your wish?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your inside world is a landscape, some of which is lovely, as you have cultivated with mental gardening; still, much of it is wild. There will be an opportunity to grab your weed whacker and go to town.

Records show Big 12 expansion candidates vying for attention

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press The good news for the Big 12 Conference is that there is no shortage of suitors.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has been asked to start evaluating expansion candidates and the league office should already have a stack of files from schools eager for a spot in the Power Five league.

The announcement on Tuesday did not say the 10-member Big 12 is committed to

Softball Continued from Page 1B “Getting that lead took the pressure off,” Ritter said. “We were able to just relax and have some fun.”

CMB came back a few hours after the win over Atlantic and put runs on Mount Vernon early.

The Raiders (27-9) took advantage of a pair of Mustang errors in the first inning and jumped out to a 2-0 lead.

In the second inning, CMB sent 10 batters to the plate and scored six runs to finalize the game’s scoring.

The Raiders were thrown out at home on two straight fielder’s choice ground balls, but senior Payge Jurgens collected a two-run single and junior Mikayla Eslinger delivered an RBI double to make it 5-1. Houge later walked with the bases loaded to plate another run.

“I am glad we went out on a win. I am still not happy about how yesterday ended, but I have to be happy to leave here with a fifth-place trophy.

I can’t be too disappointed,” said Jurgens, who is the only senior in CMB’s starting lineup. “It justifies that we are just as good as the other teams.

We probably weren’t picked to do well by many, but we didn’t go 1-2 or 0-3.”

Eslinger reached on an error in the first, doubled in the second and singled in the fourth to reach base three times.

“The loss (to Solon) gave us some motivation to come back and show what kind of team we are and how well we can play,” Eslinger said. “I think we wanted to show everyone how much better we were than we showed yesterday, and we did that.”

Freshman Hannah Caple also reached base three times, hitting a single in the first and fourth and walking in the second.

Ritter walked in the first, singled in the second and

Baseball Continued from Page 1B “That is what keeps them in games,” Seeman said.

To counter Kuemper’s dynamic offense, Seeman expects to once again give the ball to Stover. who has allowed just one run this postseason in 28 innings.

Stover is 7-0 on the season with an earned run average of 0.48, which ranks third in 2A. He leads 2A with 130 strikeouts and is third in 2A in opponents batting average at 0.086.

“I know mentally he is ready to go. He wants the ball,” Seeman said. “He’s thrown a lot of pitches this postseason, but if he’s ready to go, he’s going to be the starter.”

Stover has 67 strikeouts this postseason.

That included back-to-back 19-strikeout games against Des Moines Christian and No. 9 Roland-Story in the district tournament and then another 18 strikeouts against Ogden in the substate final Wednesday.

“If he pitches, we have a good chance to win,” Seeman

expansion, but it is obvious where this is headed.

Bowlsby and Oklahoma President David Boren, the chairman of the conference’s board of directors, noted plenty of schools have reached out to the Big 12, especially within the last year. Documents obtained by The Associated Press through open records requests show schools such as Connecticut, Cincinnati, UCF, Memphis, Colorado State and Houston have been touting themselves to Big 12

officials for months: It’s easy to understand schools have not been shy about courting the Big 12.

The league recently distributed $30 million payouts to its members for the most recently concluded school year.

Most of that money comes from a 13-year television deal with ESPN and Fox that runs through 2024-25 and is worth $2.6 billion or more than $20 million per school per year.

For perspective, the American Athletic Conference,

home to Cincinnati, UConn, Memphis among others, is in the middle of a seven-year deal with ESPN and CBS that is worth $126 million dollars or about $2 million per year per school.

Big 12 membership will bring a windfall, but the full value of membership will take time to reap. The Big 12’s TV deals call for its partners to increase payments pro rata for every new school added.

Four new schools would equal $80 million to $100 million in

new money per year for the conference. Plus, the return of the Big 12 title game in 2017 will bring in another $27 million or so per year, Bowlsby has said.

The Big 12 won’t give full shares to new members upon arrival. It’s common practice for incoming schools to get partial revenue shares for a few years. TCU and West Virginia just finished their fourth seasons in the Big 12 and for the first time received full shares.

doubled in the fifth, too.

“Megan came back today and had a huge day,” Coach Houge said. “She felt bad yesterday for the one error, but she was phenomenal today. I was glad to see her come back.

That shows what this team is about. They are a tough team.

They are resilient.”

The Raiders committed three errors in the field, had nine hits at the plate and allowed 11 hits in the circle against Solon in the opener.

In the two consolation games, CMB had just one error, cranked out 14 hits and surrendered only 12 hits combined.

Houge (13-3) earned the win in the circle against Mount Vernon. She allowed one earned run on five hits and struck out four and walked two.

“We looked like ourselves today. We had good pitching in the circle in both games, timely hitting, and we played great defense,” Coach Houge said.

Now that CMB has a taste of what the state tournament is about, the Raiders want to return to Fort Dodge in 2017.

“We have everyone coming back, so I expect us to be able to get back here,” Coach Houge said. “Next year, the goal has to be to finish higher than fifth. Our expectations will have to get higher, but right now, we’ll just celebrate the season and having fun going out with two wins.”

Atlantic defeated unranked Estherville-Lincoln Central, 6-3, in the seventh-place game.

Solon lost to No. 2 Davenport Assumption on a walkoff three-run home run, so the Spartans will play No. 11 Boyden Hull-Rock Valley for third on Friday.

Top-ranked Benton Community and Assumption meet in Friday’s championship game.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Mikayla Eslinger corrals a pop fly at second base during the 3-0 win over No. 15 Atlantic at Dodger Field inside the Harlan and Hazel Rogers Sports Complex on Thursday at the state softball tournament. The Raiders went 2-1 on the week and finished fifth overall.

said.

Another big reason why the Raiders advanced to their first-ever state tournament is because the defense has cut down on errors tremendously.

CMB had a conference-high 46 errors during Heart of Iowa Conference play this season, but the Raiders have only three miscues in the last three playoff games.

“We finally found what’s working well defensively,” Seeman said. “We messed around with several lineups throughout the year, but we seem to have found the spots for our guys. They are more confident, and if you are more confident you make plays.”

Like the CMB softball team, the Raider baseball squad is playing a veteran to the state tournament in the first round.

Kuemper (24-11) has played in seven other state tournaments, and the Knights are making their fifth trip since claiming the 2A runner-up trophy in 2010.

“We can’t get around the fact that they have been there before,” Seeman said. “We’ll have to be even more focused for this game. They’ll be com-

average. Kemp has a teamhigh 23 RBIs and 20 runs scored.

Senior Brad Ritter is hitting .379 with a team-best .520 on base percentage and a teambest 14 walks. Junior Creighton Caple is hitting a shade under .300 but has an OBP of .437.

“They have been there before and they know what to expect,” Ritter said. “I just hope we are focused when get there. I think we can take in the moment but not get caught up in the atmosphere.”

Caple was still in shock that the Raiders will play in the state tournament even a day after the Raiders defeated Ogden in the substate final. He is looking forward to the experience though.

“It still hasn’t sunk in to me.

I won’t believe it until I step on the field, but once I get on the field, it will be cool to soak in the moment,” Caple said.

Kuemper enters the state tournament having won four straight games and 12 of its last 13.

Six Knights come into the game hitting at least .304, led

fortable.”

The Raiders are playing in the state tournament not long after finishing consecutive one-win seasons in 2012 and 2013.

“It’s always a coach’s dream to come into a new program and take a team to state,” Seeman said. “After my first year, I thought playing in the state tournament would be further down the road. But, the upperclassmen stuck it out, continued to get better and things just came together this season.”

The upperclassmen are definitely most responsible for the Raiders’ turnaround this season. Aside from Stover on the mound, junior Brady Kemp is leading the way offensively with a .408 batting

age. Snyder also has a teambest 44 runs scored and 16 stolen bases.

Brett Sibbel is hitting .360 with 26 RBIs, while Jacob Wallace is batting .357 with 31 RBIs. Tyler Laing is hitting .350 but leads the team in home runs (4) and RBIs (38).

Snyder is 5-1 on the mound with an ERA of 0.95, but Tyler Williams and Laing have logged the most postseason innings.

Williams is 8-2 with an ERA of 3.13. He has 64 strikeouts in nearly 72 innings.

Laing is 3-5 with an ERA of 3.40.

Unlike state softball, baseball teams are eliminated after losses at state.

The winner of CMB-Kuemper Catholic takes on the Beckman Catholic-Pleasantville winner on Thursday.

The start time for that 2A semifinal has not yet been determined.

The 2A championship game is July 30.
