Second workshop set for Crime-Free Housing program

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The second of two workshops to discuss the proposed Crime-Free Housing program will be held at 7 p.m. Monday at city hall. Newton city staff will once again be on hand to discuss the program and invite local landlords, tenants and community members to bring any questions they might have concerning the program.

At the second workshop, the cost of the program will be the focus of the discussion. That

item was tabled during the first meeting so additional concerns about the program would not go unaddressed.

The program will be funded through a $20-per-unit increase in rental permits and has a total cost of $34,000.

The breakdown of costs puts $10,000 towards tenant background checks, $10,000 toward management training and $14,000 for administrative support.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News City Administrator Bob Knabel gave a presentation and answered questions at the first Crime-Free Housing program workshop July 13.

Two people were taken to Jasper County Jail early Wednesday evening after a chase ended next to a cornfield north of Newton.

According to Jasper County Chief Deputy Sheriff Duane Rozendaal, a vehicle pursuit began when the Iowa State Patrol attempted to pull over a small, white compact car on Iowa Highway 14 for excessive speed shortly after 5 p.m. The driver eluded authorities,

Phillips

and a chase led to the suspects attempting to flee on foot near the corner of N. 63rd Ave. E. and E. 4th St. N. The suspects were apprehended and taken to Jasper County Jail.

The driver, Micheal Phillips, 19, of Newton and the passenger, Kacie Horstman, 19, of Monroe, were both arrested.

Educating Newton’s workforce a priority

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Along with growing the business sector in Newton, it has been a priority to grow and educate the workforce. That includes both those who currently live and work in Newton, those who live in Newton and commute and those who commute to town every day.

“Newton has always had a strong manufacturing base, especially with the Maytag manufac-

turing plant. We try to figure out what skills we have in our community and try to attract people,” Newton Development Corporation Executive Director Frank Liebl said.

After the closure of Maytag, it was a well-known fact that hundreds of workers were out of a job.

One company saw that as a plus and moved into town to help fill the void.

“What drew TPI and Trinity here at about the same time

Horstman

is that we lost all of those jobs.

They knew two things, first we had vacant building and second we had a workforce.” Liebl said.

“I think people look at that all of the time.”

With the jobs available, diversifying beyond manufacturing, efforts are being made in both companies and the local school district to educate adults and students on career paths they can take.

WORKFORCE | 3A

Both are being held without bond in Jasper County Jail. Phillips is charged with eluding, driving with a suspended license and violation of a no-contact order. Horstman is charged with violation of a no-contact order and allowing a non-licensed person to drive a vehicle.

Rozendaal said at least one of the suspects told police there was a third person in the vehicle, but a thorough search of a cordoned-off area, which included a canine, produced no evidence of a third person.

Rozendaal said it’s possible there might be a third suspect who escaped, but that seems doubtful to him at this point. The state patrol and sheriff abandoned the search shortly before 7 p.m.

Registration for Newton Schools can be done online Process is set to include new students in 2016-17

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News This will be the first school year when returning Newton Community School District students and their parents will have the option of registering online for classes.

In 2016-17, that practice will be the norm.

Registration will be done online for the first time this year as an option for returning students in Newton.

“There will be an instruction letter that goes out to parents,” Superintendent Bob Callaghan said at a recent board meeting.

Technology Supervisor Chris Bieghler said the nodule for students new to the district won’t be completed until October. However, if users have an email account as a Newton Schools student or parent, they should be able to register online fairly seamlessly.

Bieghler said Thursday morning the process is not completely live yet, but could be released late this week or early next week.

“I think the process is going to be pretty smooth for returning students,” Bieghler said. “We’re going to do a walk-through. It will be tied to the Infinite Campus, so it will automatically populate forms with student data we already have on file, and parents can access it any time, as long as they’ve already created a parent portal.”

In-person registration for students entering kindergarten through the eighth grade will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 4 at the Berg Complex. Newton High School students can register from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 12 and from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 13 at NHS. Basics & Beyond and DAP students can register from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Emerson Hough.

The first day of classes for Newton is Monday, Aug. 24.

Any student who is completely new to Newton Schools will have to

In Brief Miller, Squire graduate from Indian Hills OTTUMWA — Kristina Miller and Shaina Squire, of Newton, both received their associate of applied science degree from Indian Hills Community College.

These students completed their graduation requirements at the end of the 2015 spring term.

Thompson named to Olivet Nazarene dean’s list BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — Ryan Thompson, of Newton, was named to the dean’s list at Olivet Nazarene University during the recently completed spring 2015 semester.

To qualify for inclusion on the dean’s list, a student must have been enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student and must have attained a semester grade point average of 3.50 or higher on a 4.00 grading scale.

register in person this year, as their information is not already on file with NCSD. This applies to new students enrolling in kindergarten or preschool, even if the family has an older sibling already enrolled.

“There might be one of the (aspects) of this that, down the road, moving through this, we could remedy,” Bieghler said.

Board member Robyn Friedman praised the process, but pointed out that there are many elements of in-person registration parents appreciate. One of those elements is finding out who a teacher will be for a student for the upcoming school year.

Bieghler said once the system is live, any parent with an online portal will be able to see all of a student’s information, including the names of their teachers.

“I think it’s fantastic,” Friedman said. “I think people will appreciate that there are some kinks to work out, the first time around.”

Bieghler said there are numerous other forms to be completed and

submitted, such as athletic physicals, that are a reason for some parents to come to in-person registration.

Callaghan said there isn’t a goal of eliminating in-person registration, as there will likely always be parents who need to complete reduced-lunch paperwork or another step that benefits from in-person assistance. He said one aim of an online process is to minimize the amount of waiting around in long lines to register.

“We want parents to be able to register in person, if they want, but we don’t want parents to have to take off work to do this, especially for more than one child, when we have another option,” Callaghan said. “The big thing is avoiding having to do the same registration piece year after year, for everyone in your family.”

anyone for the training. We will provide all of the paperwork and help pay for it by increasing the rental unit inspections by $20. It will help us do all of this and then there’s no cost to them for the training and any background checks” retiring Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich said.

The current rental program has a cost of $107,880.

Of that money, $100,000 is designated to salary and benefits of the fire marshal at an 80 percent usage. A vehicle cost of $2,000 is also at an 80 percent usage rate.

Additional costs go toward computers at $80, software at $1,800, maintenance at $800, office supplies at $1,000 and postage at $1,000.

With the proposed program, total costs would increase to $141,880. The revenue from the program is expected to bring $110,000 from the $55 permit fee of the 2,000 rental units in Newton. At that rate, the program will run at a deficit of $31,880.

In Newton, there are approximately 2,000 properties that are rented. Controlling those properties are 347 landlords, 227 that live in Newton and 120 that are from out of town. A breakdown of property by landlord shows that buildings with 20-plus units are controlled by 21 of the landlords, those with 8-20 units have 24 of the landlords and those with eight or less and controlled by 302 different landlords.

The Newton Police Department and city staff have been working on the Crime-Free Housing program for an extended period of time. It had passed two readings at council before Mayor Mike Hansen said a workshop would take place to further discuss the program with those having concerns.

“The basis of this really came out of two items. A recent survey showed 65 percent of residents thought the condition/appearance of housing stock was fair or poor and 61 percent of residents thought that it was essential or very important that city resources be dedicated to addressing neighborhood aesthetics,” City Administrator Bob Knabel said. “That was the part of the city’s action plan and served as a basis of the setting of the direction, mission and vision of the organization.”

Workforce Continued from Page 1A “Going on to a four year college isn’t for everybody. Kids can go to a two year school or go into the workforce right away. We’ve got to connect with those students and the employers,” Liebl said.

One step in that direction was a career fair held for the seniors at Newton High School. More than 40 businesses from the community were on hand to give mock interviews to the students to prepare them for life after graduation. Seven or eight of the students even got jobs as a result of the career fair.

Liebl also said he has had a couple of meeting with both employers and educators to bring them together and get each of their perspectives on what is needed to start a career. Questions were

asked about the amount of schooling that is suggested or if careers in the trades are discussed.

“One educator in the county told me they have been an educator for more than 25 years and have been behind those walls, they don’t know what it is like out there,” Liebl said.

That is a wall Liebl would like to break down.

An initiative that area employers have started is to have teachers do internships during the summer months. During the internships, the teachers will really learn what is out there and can relay it back in the classroom to interested students.

“It makes all the sense in the world,” Liebl said.

Another avenue companies are taking are apprenticeships and scholarship programs. If the company has a need, it can offer to pay for the employee to go to school and work part-time, then

window for filing paperwork with the board secretary for the Sept. 8 school board elections is July 6 to July 30.

once they graduate, work for the company for a set amount of years with education reimbursement at the end of the term.

“Those that have tried it are finding it to be pretty successful,” Liebl said.

For those who have been in the workforce but may be without a job currently, the Goodwill Career Connection Center has become a go-to resource. The center has worked hard to see what jobs are available in the community and match up appropriate candidates for the openings.

“We will serve everybody we can that has barriers to employment or is looking to advance their career,” Center Coordinator Miranda Kulis said.

The center offers assistance in resume building, training in job search and computer skills, application assistance, seminars on how to dress for success and also provides

mock interviews. It gives those working toward a new job access to computers, the Internet, fax machines and other office equipment.

The free center is funded through the Goodwill retail stores. Its mission is to help individuals change their lives and the lives of others while building a strong and sustainable community, falling right in line with what the city is also working toward.

“When we tell people about the number of jobs we lost when Maytag left, they just say, wow, how come the town hasn’t shuttered,” Liebl said.

“There’s constant activity.

We constantly are fielding calls and inquiries. I think part of that is that Newton is reinventing itself.”

A simpler time, a simpler place

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 24, 2015

Editors note: This column originally published Oct. 10, 2014.

There’s a house that lies in Newton that I used to know so well. It sits on a quiet street, but what’s there is a catalog of lively memories and an immense amount of joy and bittersweet innocence.

The house belonged to my grandpa, Albert Kosmach, and for the longest time, the home of both he and my grandma June.

They lived there since 1961, working, raising three girls and a boy.

Since my mom and I were the nearest family members, a mere 20-and-a-half blocks away, I spent a lot of time there. My grandpa oftentimes took care of me when my mom worked and when I got old enough to be on my own I’d like to think I took care of him, looking forward to riding my bike over on a daily basis to keep each other company.

Many kids’ best friends are other neighborhood kids, but

maybe mine was my grandpa.

All of the home’s features I remember vividly — the grey painted cement entry stairs, the plaster curved ceilings, and the oak swinging doors into the den.

There was an old AE metal milk box right next to the door which held newspapers since the milk man stopped coming many years before.

It wasn’t new but I wouldn’t want it to have been. There were a few creaks in the floors, and I hope it still creaks a step before entering the kitchen. The light switches were heavy to turn, not like the smooth flick of the switch in a new home. The carpet was slightly faded in places — a reminder of the four kids who roamed there a generation before.

I spent more time outdoors than I do now, and I could draw a layout of the old yard as if to replicate its existence, if only it were that easy to replace. A large stone bird bath, a two-wired clothes line, a giant pine tree, a beautiful-

ly well kept red shed and a unique metal bin that held two old metal garbage tins.

Although I have fondest memories of the place, the best part of the home were the people who occupied its space, primarily my grandpa. He enjoyed sitting in the backyard, relaxing.

He always had a pocket watch with him which he would check randomly. He’d cook quite often too — apple turnovers, goulash, pancakes — and enjoyed a good St. Louis Cardinals game.

I’ve never attempted to go back to the house or even walk down the old street where I once roamed.

The memories are perfect the way they are. Maybe that’s the thing with memories, the bad ones we try to forget and the good ones we put on a pedestal.

My grandpa in his trousers and pocket tee, teaching me Yugoslavian; my mom with her perm and work outfit, mutual delight to reunite; or my cousins,

creating our own simple forms of entertainment like playing in a pile of leaves, going through the old desk drawers, looking for invaluable treasures or covering the floor with wrapping paper on Christmas. Everything was an adventure; a mystery that would reveal a life we could never know, one that would have been ours if we were our parents.

Whether it’s the house your family moved out of in fifth grade, or your best friend’s house growing up or your grandparents’ old house, we all have special places that hold some of the fondest of memories, places that were part of us, that define days of past.

We might not think of them weekly or monthly or even each year, but when they come back to mind you’re taken back to another time or place, and for that beautiful gift in life, I’m thankful.

Letter to the Editor

Repairs planned for North Fourth Avenue West

Robert L. Knabel Newton City Administrator I read with interest Mr. Bergfeld’s recent letter to the editor concerning North Fourth Avenue West not being on this summer’s street improvement program. Because of the substantial cost to repair this road, estimated at $850,000, the project has been scheduled for 2016 using federal funds.

North Fourth Avenue, from West Eighth Street to Highway 14, is on the City’s Federal Aid Route, meaning that this road is eligible for 80 percent funding from the federal gas tax. The city is allocated about $350,000

per year that can be accumulated and set for these federally eligible projects.

The city accumulates the federal allocation for several years to complete larger projects, such as East 31st Street North. This project, which will be completed shortly, will cost approximately $1,600,000. This will require about $1,280,000 of federal money, or about four years of our federal allocations. This then requires the City to plan these projects well in advance.

As such, North Fourth Avenue has been in our plans for the past few years as well and will be constructed in 2016 when sufficient allocated federal funds are available to pay for 80 percent of the project cost.

The city must use other funds

to pay for the remaining 20 percent and until last year these funds have been limited. With funding from the 2014 and 2015 bond issues, and with the changes in the state gas tax this year, the city will have more flexibility on the scheduling of future projects.

The Asphalt Overlay Project awarded recently is for city streets that are not on Federal Aid Routes and will require 100 percent city funds using the 2015 bond proceeds and State gas tax funds.

The city knows the needs are there for North Fourth Avenue West and would like to have completed it sooner, but using the federal money is prudent on these larger projects. Thank you for giving me the opportunities to explain this funding process.

On a quick glance, the EPA plan seems reasonable. What could be better than improved energy efficiency, for example? But the EPA program means to swiftly reduce America’s reliance on coal-fired power generation. And that’s where the trouble starts.

America has long been powered by coal, and in recent decades coal-fired power has become far more hightech. Coal is now the predominant source of reliable, affordable power generation for many states, and the industry has progressed greatly by adding technology that carefully “scrubs” emissions of unwanted byproducts such as sulfur and particulate matter.

Thankfully, this state-of-the-art technology has allowed coal to become cleaner and more efficient. But that isn’t always the case in countries where coal is used extensively. Most of the existing coal-fired power plants in Asia and India lack proper emissions controls. And so, it’s little wonder that more than 25 percent of California’s smog now comes from China.

While China is clearly the largest country that needs to clean up its act, the EPA is concerned with cutting America’s coal-fired power production on a

fast timetable. But coal provides 38 percent of America’s total electricity generation — more than any other power source — which means that a lot of our power supply is at risk. The problem we face is that existing, alternative supplies simply can’t make up the difference.

Studies of the new EPA plan suggest that, once the new rules are in place, a family of four could see its home energy bills increase by hundreds of dollars each year.

And what will America get for this trade-off? A theoretical reduction in global temperatures of a tiny fraction of a degree by 2100.

The American people are busy trying to make ends meet. They’re not focused on the climate issue like Washington is. A recent Gallup poll found that 62 percent of Americans do not see climate change as a serious threat. But they do rank a struggling economy at the top of their list of worries.

I want to know how many families are prepared to pay hundreds of dollars more for their electricity each year — especially for no meaningful environmental improvement. And how often will paying for such an increase mean having to choose between buying groceries or monthly medicine in order to keep their house warm during the winter?

That’s a scenario we’re likely to face, once the EPA plan is fully implemented. In the real world of belt-tightening and limited household budgets, many families can hardly afford higher energy prices. For the sake of those families and individuals who are struggling each day to pay their bills, I hope state governors will tell the EPA to re-think this costly, risky plan.

Nominations open for Great Iowa Nurses In its 12th year, the 100 Great Iowa Nurses program hopes to reach every corner of the state IOWA CITY — The 100 Great Iowa Nurses program is excited to announce that nominations are officially open for 2016 at www.greatnurses.org.

With 11 years under its belt, the program has recognized 1,100 Great Iowa Nurses. Each year, the program recognizes 100 nurses across the state whose courage, competence, and commitment to patients and the nursing profession stand out above all others.

For the past 11 years, patients, coworkers, friends, and family members have nominated outstanding nurses from 93 of Iowa’s 99 counties.

100 Great Iowa Nurses Fundraising Chair Liz Swanson said, “We couldn’t be more pleased with the abundance of nominations we’ve seen in the last decade; our hope is to recognize the great work that nurses do in every county in Iowa.”

The organization hopes to continue to see statewide support for nurses, as well as an increase in nominations from the counties that have not yet been recognized: Fremont, Howard, Monona, Page, Van Buren and Worth.

Nurses selected for this honor represent many sectors of healthcare, working as nurses in hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, and offices. They come from all practice areas, including acute care, sub-acute care, school nursing, parish nursing, nurse leadership and academics.

The 100 honorees are recognized each year in Des Moines at the annual 100 Great Iowa Nurses Celebration. This is a meaningful event for the honorees as well as their nominators.

“I was flabbergasted when I received notification that I was chosen. It was a great honor that I will never forget. I am a nurse leader now, and have been for years, but it really made me think that those patients you have touched will never forget the care you provided them,” said 2014 100 Great Iowa Nurse honoree Patti Peterson,

MHA, BSN, RN, CEN, director of Emergency Services, PICC Team, Infusion Center, for Mercy Family Health Line.

After undergoing a two-part review process, 100 Great Iowa Nurses are honored each year at a ceremony created for the state of Iowa by nurse and community leaders. On May 1, the 2016 100 Great Iowa Nurses will gather to be honored at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. The celebration is an annual prelude to National Nurses Week, which begins on May 6 and ends on May 12 (the birthday of Florence Nightingale).

This statewide program is made possible through the generous support of sponsors. In addition to recognizing 100 Great Iowa Nurses every year, the program also offers financial awards to nursing students. Current and future nurses across Iowa are encouraged to apply for financial award opportunities to complete or further their nursing education. Applications can be found at www.greatnurses.org/financialawards.

Mom’s helpful hints become criticism in girlfriend’s ears DEAR ABBY: I’m frustrated about how to connect with my young adult son’s 18-year-old girlfriend. He told me she has a bad relationship with her divorced parents, so he’s hoping we can bond.

A problem that comes up frequently is, she’s so anxious to show me how skilled and knowledgeable she is, she misses any tips and techniques I try to subtly teach her. They live together in another state, so our weekend visits at each other’s homes seem to amplify the problem.

I’ll give you an example: When I removed ice cubes from an ice tray, I ran water over the bottom briefly before twisting the tray. She laughed like I was clueless and said, “You don’t have to do that, just twist the tray!” I replied that the water helped release the cubes more cleanly “because of the physics of the warmer water.” She teared up, left the room and told my son (who repeated it to me) that I was being critical of her.

I have expressed appreciation for her, and my son has reassured her of my intentions, but I’m getting tired of tiptoeing around her issues. How can I help her understand that she can learn from me without it meaning that I think any less of her?

— ON EGGSHELLS IN MONTANA DEAR ON EGGSHELLS: It might be a good idea to quit trying to mother or teach this young woman anything unless you are specifically asked, because it appears she’s not interested in learning from you.

From where I sit, you not only were not critical of her, but the opposite was true of what happened in that kitchen. If she hadn’t laughed at you — ridiculed you — for the way you emptied the ice tray, you

wouldn’t have felt it necessary to explain your technique. So take a step back and stop trying to help her, because it’s obviously not appreciated.

DEAR ABBY: I have new downstairs neighbors. While they appear to be pleasant in most circumstances, I cannot ignore the fact that the wife cries inconsolably in their bedroom three or four times a week, late at night. I never hear any yelling or disruption that leads up to this, just loud sobbing in the bedroom that keeps me up several times a week. I don’t think she’s being abused, but I do think she might be depressed.

Can you think of any kind way to send her to my therapist up the street for some help? Stick a business card in their door anonymously? Bring it up more directly? — UP ALL NIGHT IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR UP ALL NIGHT: Talk privately with the woman and tell her you are concerned about her because you have heard her crying.

Do not ask her why, but if she volunteers, listen to what she has to say. She may need a grief support group or, as you suggested, a therapist. If either of those is the case, you should suggest it.

Woman dies after being struck by train in Iowa CHELSEA — Authorities say a woman has been killed by a train in the Tama County town of Chelsea.

The accident occurred a little before 9 a.m. Thursday. Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Nathan Ludwig says the woman apparently crossed between trains and was struck by an eastbound Union Pacific train.

An autopsy has been ordered.

VENTURA — A Garner woman has been rescued from the Ventura Marsh Management Area after going missing while kayaking.

Rebecca Ann Hejna, 53, was reported missing just before 8 p.m. Thursday. The Cerro Gordo County Sheriff ’s Office said Hejna had gone kayaking at 7 a.m. and not returned.

Hejna was found partially submerged in the water. She was taken to shore, where she was treated by Clear Lake fire medics.

SIOUX CITY — A Webster City woman has pleaded guilty to Social Security fraud in which authorities say she received more than $23,000 in benefits. According to a news release from U.S. Attorney Kevin Techau, 44-year-old Karlotta Venegas pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of supplemental security income benefits fraud. Prosecutors say Venegas hid from the Social Security Administration that she had been outside the United States for more than 30 days on eight separate occasions in order to continue receiving supplemental security income benefits.

Groups in four states lobby against proposed Bakken pipeline DES MOINES (AP)— A group of organizations from Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota are speaking out as a unified coalition against the proposed Bakken Oil Pipeline project.

The organizations include environmental groups Food and Water Watch and Shawnee Forest Sentinels and social action groups Dakota Rural Action and Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement.

They want each state’s utility regulators to consider testimony and evidence from the other affected states and to look at the financial status of Energy Transfer Partners, the parent company behind the pipeline project. The coalition points out that the company self-insures against accidents and declares in its recent annual report it may not have adequate reserves to cover all future liabilities including known contamination.

A spokeswoman for Energy Transfer Partners did not immediately respond to messages.

Iowa, federal rules differ over marijuana oil extract DUBUQUE (AP) — A Dubuque mother whose state cannabis card allows her to give oil extracted from marijuana to her epileptic son said she administers it in the parking lot of the boy’s care center because the facility doesn’t allow the treatment inside.

Jennifer McFadden said she gives the oil to her 12-year-old son twice a day in the parking lot. She said Hills & Dales, the agency which operates the center, said it can’t allow the oil into the facility because federal authorities still consider it a strictly controlled marijuana product.

McFadden said she doesn’t blame Hills & Dales, which she called an excellent organization.

“I do believe them when they say they’re doing everything they can,” she said.

Hills & Dales CEO Marilyn Althoff told the newspaper that she couldn’t discuss the boy’s case but that in general, “we’re a licensed health care facility, and with that come federal regulations.”

CW Botanicals, the Colorado-based company that sends McFadden the oil, said its product isn’t technically a marijuana product, because it has almost none of the chemical that allows recreational marijuana users to experience a high. The company said the oil has instead a large amount of the chemical cannabidiol, which many families believe can reduce epileptic seizures.

String of fundraisers organized to save PCM 3-year-old preschool

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News The PCM Mustang Scholars parent committee is on a mission to save the school district’s elective early childhood education program. Its goal — detailed

by PCM school board member and committee organizer Jill Witt — is to raise $5,000 by the end of December with an overall goal of $10,000 by the end of the 2015-16 school year.

The 3-year-old preschool was left in limbo after the district announced in June the program was roughly $20,000 in the red at current $85-per-month tuition levels. After reviewing its financial health and observing community support, district staff and the PCM Community School Board of Education approved its continuation with the caveat that the preschool’s newly formed parent committee raise $9,400 to contribute to program costs including teacher salary, supplies and curriculum. As of its last report July 14, the committee has already raised $3,350 toward its goal.

At its July 6 parent meeting, the group announced a series of fundraising events throughout the summer designed to get the committee the rest of the way to the board-ordered fundraising match.

Program parents will be a presence at the July 24-26 Prairie Days celebration where the group will have a booth for bottled water sales, face painting and train rides with a tip jar to support the fundraising efforts.

The group will set up a booth July 24 and 25. They will have the same set up — train rides and face paint for a freewill donation — Aug. 7 and 8 at Mon-

roe Old Settlers.

PCM parent Mandy Shannon has secured the use of a kids train from the Monroe Baptist Church for the town festival efforts, and preschool program parent Kaylee Siebrecht — with help from PCM technology director Sean Balzer — has established an account through the donation website GoFundMe. com. The page has already generated $120, Witt said Tuesday, and a link to the account is being shared through social media on committee members’ personal Facebook pages. It can be found at e.gofund.me/zgnuvd5.

More preparation was scheduled on the group’s July 21 meeting agenda.

Witt said she is more than encouraged by the support and enthusiasm she’s seen in the committee and PCM community so far.

“Our parent committee is doing awesome,” she said. “I am impressed with the involvement and willingness of the group. I appreciate everyone’s efforts.”

Donations are even coming in from the Des Moines metro area business community with PCM ties. Carrie Bonnet, owner of Downtown Doggy Daycare, LLC, donated $500 at the July 6 parent committee meeting. A parent from Monroe, her eldest son, Bodhi, went through the program last year and she will have another son entering 3-year-old preschool next school year. She said the community’s response to the fundraising effort shows an understanding and commitment to early childhood education.

“I see the impact that it made on my 3-year-old last year. He really blossomed in the program,” she said. “I think it’s im-

Liley is new NHS basketball coach

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Coaching his brother’s AAU basketball team launched Bill Liley’s coaching career. Liley, 41, brings 18 years of high school basketball coaching experience to Newton as Newton High’s new boys basketball head coach.

“I played some in high school, but decided to concentrate on my academics the last couple of years so I could go to the University of Washington. I was a musician, and I wanted to pursue my academics,” Liley said in a telephone interview this week with the Newton Daily News.

“After graduating from high school, I coached my brother’s AAU team and had a great deal of success. Coaching that team I learned the game because I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with coaches at the University of Washington where I was working while going to school there,” Liley said.

Liley is coming to Newton from Seattle, Wash., where he has spent the past four years as head coach at Eastside Catholic High School. He said he had two connections with Iowa —

Bill Liley Newton High’s Athletic Director Scott Garvis and Drake University’s head men’s basketball coach Ray Giacoletti.

“Scott was my athletic director at Eastside Catholic. He hired me as the head coach there,” Liley said. “I trust him when he offers me an opportunity to coach. I was also fortunate to work with Ray Giacolet-

ti while I was working in the University of Washington’s athletic department.”

Liley guided Eastside Catholic to its first winning season in more than a decade and a playoff appearance in his first year there.

In his four-year tenure, Eastside Catholic went 7835 and finished second and third in back-to-back seasons at the Class 3A state

basketball tournament in 2014 and 2015.

“This is a great fit for Newton athletics,” Garvis said. “Coach Liley shares the Newton Cardinal philosophy, building positive relationships, academic excellence and servant leadership. We wanted to hire coaches who share our vision to sustain competitive programs.”

Garvis said the district had a number of quality applicants following former NHS head coach Nick Wilkins’ resignation to accept the head coaching position at North Polk.

Garvis said Liley has the experience and passion to develop the NHS basketball program.

“Coach Liley had been very successful during his career, and we are excited he has accepted the head coaching position,” Garvis said.

Prior to Eastside Catholic, Liley spent four years at the helm of King’s High School (Washington). He led the Knights to four state tournament appearances in four years as head coach, placing second, fifth and sixth, while going 7535 overall.

Racin’, smilin’ and representing I love sports. No. really, I love the people who play sports — their stories.

Since returning from a much-needed week off at the start of July, I’ve had a steady stream of sporting events to cover.

Baseball, softball, IndyCar races and more softball have been on the area menu for the Newton Daily News.

We’re getting ready for Iowa Speedway’s final By Jocelyn race weekend — July Sheets 31-Aug. 1 — of NA- Newton Daily SCAR Xfinity Series News and K&N Pro Series Sports Editor racing.

My column this week might resemble my colleague’s column name “This & That” since I’m going to jump around a bit.

First, I don’t follow auto racing that closely. When the races are in town at Iowa Speedway, I gather information, but the ins-and-outs are not in my wheelhouse. Last Saturday during the IndCar Series Indy Corn 300, veteran driver Ed Carpenter took issue with the driving of rookie Sage Karam.

Carpenter confronted Karam after the race to complain about the way the rookie drove in the closing laps. Karam was unapologetic and Carpenter ultimately walked off, but said afterward PRESSBOX | 2B

Area players, coach earn IGCA All-District softball honors Newton Daily News Seven area players received the first of several postseason honors expected to be announced this week and next week in high school softball and baseball.

Cardinals outlast Royals in makeup contest ST. LOUIS (AP) — John Lackey wore a Cardinals 1985 World Series T-shirt as a 6-year-old growing up in Abilene, Texas, courtesy of an aunt then living in St. Louis.

The 36-year-old right-hander was a Rangers fan back then, but had no trouble adding the Cardinals to his short list of favorites.

No doubt, he enjoyed beating the Kansas City Royals wearing a throwback uniform the teams wore in the I-70 Series.

“I have a picture of me in a World Series ‘85 T-shirt,” Lackey said after the Cardinals won 4-3 Thursday night. “I’m kind of an old-school guy.

“I like the old uniforms — they’re sweet.

They’re a little bit hotter than the ones we have now, that’s about the only thing.”

Lackey threw seven strong innings after a shaky beginning and Trevor Rosenthal escaped his own jam in the ninth as the Cardinals won in the makeup of a rainout last month. Randal Grichuk and Matt Carpenter hit two-run

homers.

“You try to stay out of those situations,” Rosenthal said after pitching for the third straight day. “When we don’t think too far ahead, I think that’s when we all have our best stuff.”

As in the originally scheduled game, St. Louis and Kansas City led their league in wins and Lackey (9-5) and Chris Young (86) were the scheduled starters.

Rosenthal took over to begin the ninth with a 4-2 lead. Alex Rios led off with a single and Omar Infante followed with a triple.

The Royals went on to put runners on second and third with no outs and twice baserunners were allowed to take second without a throw before Rosenthal held on for his 30th save in 32 chances. Mike Moustakas grounded out to end it.

The paid attendance of 46,003 was the 24th sellout for St. Louis, which took the season series 4-2, but there were several thousand no-shows for the opener of an elongated 11-game homestand.

tions are always going to be unreasonable. My players are adjusting to that. This team will be a playoff team this season. We will adjust our goals after we qualify for postseason play.”

Liley said he does set high expectations for his teams and himself as a coach. He said there’s nothing wrong with setting a high standard to reach for every day in practice and in every game.

“I had the opportunity to visit Iowa in June.

I met with most of the returning players for Newton and the coaching staff. They’re a great bunch of kids and hard working. I’m really excited to be coming into the program and the opportunity to help build a successful team at Newton High School,” Liley said. “They have

a strong tradition there and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”

Liley comes out of a tough Seattle-area Metro League, which he described as one of the top leagues on the West Coast. He said his style of coaching will translate well in the Iowa.

“The Little Hawkeye Conference has great coaches and players in it. I know it is one of the better leagues in the area and you have to be ready to play every game,” Liley said.

“Man-to-man defense and a motion offense are part of my coaching style. I believe those will work anywhere.”

Liley said he is concerned in helping each player develop skills as he grows as a person.

He said he strives to have each player gain an understanding of how to play basketball and compete the right way.

Liley had six Eastside Catholic players sign with collegiate programs in his four years. Two of those signed with NCAA Di-

vision I programs.

“I’ve not always had the greatest talent on teams, but getting kids to work hard and play hard as a team is important.

Sometimes teams with less talent can simply outwork more talented teams and win games,” Liley said. “The sky’s the limit for my teams. I’m not allowing anyone to put a ceiling on what we can do because I believe in my players.”

Liley said he will continue his tradition of being connected with the youth basketball programs in the community. He said it was important to have a connection between the younger players and the high school players.

“We want those youngsters to come to our games and be a part of the program right off the bat,” Liley said.

Liley said he will be in Newton next week meeting with plyers and parents.

age with 31 RBIs. Her slugging percentage as the team’s clean-up hitter was .743. She had 42 hits and scored 21 runs.

As the Hawks’ center fielder, James had a perfect fielding percentage.

She had 27 putouts and three assists on 30 chances.

Alberts guided Lynnville-Sully to its sixth straight South Iowa Cedar League championship with a third straight 20-0 conference run. Alberts is in her 10th year as Hawk head coach and the team has a 75-game winning streak in conference. Lynnville-Sully has been to 1A state five out of the past six years, just claimed its third straight fifth-place trophy at this week’s 2015 tournament.

Both CMB and

PCM advanced to regional finals this season.

And both squads were rewarded with all-district selections.

CMB’s Kahler (1812) was the Raiders’ No. 1 pitcher. She was second in the Heart of Iowa Conference and ninth in all of 2A in strikeouts with 191 and she did that in 197 2/3 innings. Her season earned run average was 1.70, she walked only 33 batters and opponents hit .214 against her.

Kahler led the Raiders with a .337 batting average. She was first or second in five other categories, leading the team with 11 doubles and coming in second in home runs (4), RBIs (16), hits (32) and on base percentage (.406).

CMB finished 20-14 and was ranked 13th at season’s end. The Raid-

ers’ season ended with a 5-1 loss to No. 10 Iowa City Regina in the regional finals.

PCM’s Freland went 16-9 in the circle and ranked third in the HOIC with 129 strikeouts in 161 innings.

Her earned run average was 2.87 and opponents hit .174 against her. She also walked 54. Freland did not bat but scored four times as a pinch runner.

Vignovich was PCM’s top hitter at .364. She was second in OBP at .427, tied for third in RBIs with 17 and fourth in runs with 24.

The Mustangs finished 23-11. They lost 5-1 to No. 1 Solon in the regional finals.

Penske hoping for elusive Cup win at Brickyard DETROIT (AP) — For Roger Penske, this weekend offers something of a rarity — a chance to accomplish something he’s never done before.

Penske has never won a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Brickyard, in stark contrast to his 16 Indy 500 victories.

“We’ve been close — been second a number of times — but never was able to get across the stripe at Indy with NASCAR,” Penske said. “We did it in Nationwide. Winning the Indy 500 there this year and also the Daytona, this would be a real Triple Crown for us.”

With the Brickyard 400 coming up Sunday at Indianapolis

Pressbox Continued from Page 1B IndyCar should have penalized Karam.

Carpenter ended the monologue at Karam’s car by saying, “You need to grow up.”

“I said that he has no respect for anyone out there,” Carpenter later told NBCSN. “If it wasn’t for guys with experience driving with their heads on he would be hurting himself and other people.

“He has no clue.”

Karam’s responded with, “He’s just angry at my driving. He says I squeezed him a few times, but it’s the same way he drove me. It’s hard racing. I’m going for wins and that’s how we’re driving. It’s close racing, it’s IndyCar racing. This ain’t go-karts or anything anymore.

We’re going to race each other hard and we’re professionals and we know each other’s limits. Tough luck for him, I don’t know.”

There was no penalty assessed. Should there have been? I have no clue. I interviewed Carpenter on the telephone before the race and was impressed with him. He seemed to be a nice guy.

Karam took part in the Speedway’s Kids Q&A and appeared to be a decent guy.

I’ll stick with those assessments until otherwise proven wrong.

Did you see the “best smile in (Major League) baseball” Tuesday night?

According to one sports writer, Kansas City Royals’ center fielder Lorenzo Cain has the best smile in baseball, and it showed on one play in the Royals’ 3-1 win over visiting Pittsburgh Tuesday. I watched a replay several times just to see the final scene of Cain smiling as he leaned against the wall.

Cain misread a ball hit by the Pirates’ Jung

Motor Speedway, Penske was in downtown Detroit on Thursday night for a ceremony as one of the inductees to the Automotive Hall of Fame. Also inducted were former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo, Tata Sons founder Ratan Tata, and Elwood Haynes, co-founder of the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company.

It’s been another eventful year for Penske, the winning owner at the Indy 500 with driver Juan Pablo Montoya and the Daytona 500 with Joey Logano. Montoya leads the IndyCar standings by 42 points.

Maybe this will be the weekend Penske breaks through with a

Ho Kang and as the fly ball soared over his head, Cain managed to embody the Royals in six seconds. Cain made the perfect throw to shortstop Alcides Escobar. And his perfect relay to catcher Salvador Perez. And his perfect tag on Starling Marte for the first out of the ninth inning.

Cain has fun playing the game and you see it in his smile.

Closer to home — Lynnville-Sully’s softball players, coaches and fans again represented their school and community well at the Iowa Class 1A State Softball Tournament in Fort Dodge this week. The Hawks didn’t come out with the trophy they wanted — they wanted to be playing Friday night for a state championship.

But, it was not meant to be. The Hawks lost their first game Tuesday sending them to the consolation bracket for the third straight year.

The best they could do is fifth, and they knew it.

Lynnville-Sully showed why it has one of the top softball programs in the state.

The Hawks played their brand of softball Wednesday winning two games — outscoring opponents 23-3 — to claim their third consecutive fifth-place trophy.

High school summer sports are finished for area teams. We’ll bring you all-conference teams as soon as we have them released to us. Conference’s embargo the release to media until all conference teams are finished with playoffs.

Softball all-conference honors will be in next week starting Monday. Baseball honors will come as soon as teams are done with state playoffs.

Cup victory at the Brickyard.

“Rusty Wallace had a couple times that he was close. The competition is so tough there,” Penske said. “Now with the new rules package coming up this weekend, we’re not sure what’s going to happen. Is it going to be horsepower? Is it going to be handling?

Is it going to be aerodynamics?”

NASCAR will try a package with higher drag this weekend in an effort to improve passing opportunities at Indianapolis, and the package at Michigan next month will be similar. A track-specific package used in the July 11 race at Kentucky went over well, and a similar package will be used at Darlington.

Coach Continued from Page 1B All of his coaching experience since graduating from the University of Washington with a bachelor of science in human resource management and services, has been in his home state of Washington. He was the Metro League Coach of the Year in 2014. At the end of the 2015 season, he coached the WIBCA 3A All-State team and coached Team Washington for the Northwest Shootout in Portland, Ore. “I was at a point in my career I was ready for a new challenge. I also want to start working on my masters degree in athletic administration,” Liley said.

“I’ve been very blessed to have success in my career as a coach. I started as a head coach when I was 21.”

Liley said when he began at Eastside Catholic, “My expecta-

The Hawks’ leadoff hitter had an on-base average of .609 for the regular season and a slugging percentage of .557.

Ehresman had 63 hits — one double — and scored 55 runs to lead the team. She had eight RBIs. She went 54 of 55 on stolen base attempts. On defense, Ehresman had a .894 fielding percentage and nine errors at second base.
