City to address blighted properties

Annual Bowlful of Blues moves to a Sunday 24th year event set for Labor Day weekend

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A few changes are in store for the 24th version of one of Newton’s best-known annual entertainment events.

However, the 2016 Bowlful of Blues will still be on Labor Day Weekend — and the Maytag Bowl will still be the site of some of the best blues in the region.

Musicians from across Iowa and other states — some of whom have played internationally and at the top blues venues in the U.S. — will grace the stage when the 24th annual Bowlful of Blues happens Sept. 4. The event has been moved to a Sunday, partly to accommodate home college football games set for Sept. 3, and newly elected South Skunk Blues Society President Elaine Mattingly said there is hope the event and others like it will help give Jasper County residents a reason

to stay close to home on Labor Day weekend.

“We’re hoping to help create an anchor event that keeps people here in town,” Mattingly said. “That’s why we’ve adjusted by moving to Sunday, and that’s why we’ve been very careful about what music we put on the stage.”

Mattingly said there is nearly always interest from top talent about the concert, and there are several rounds to the selection process. The acts chosen this year are Mothership, Bob Dorr and the Blue Band, The Marquise Knox Band, The Joanna Connor Band and the Nellie “Tiger” Travis Band.

One of the other changes this year will be ticket availability through www.midwesttix.com.

Mattingly said she’s excited about how the $20 advance tickets will help grow the event.

Another change is that rather than an “after-party” show at a

Youth academy teaches kids about law enforcement, public safety

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News Twelve more kids now have a better understanding of what it takes to be in law enforcement and public safety after another year of the Prairie City-Monroe Youth Police Academy ended.

The final two days of the ninth annual academy took place July 2223 at Prairie City City

Hall, where students learned teamwork in law enforcement, leadership and ethical behavior and also received instruction on handcuffing, fingerprinting and building searches.

venue that serves alcohol, there will instead be a pre-party on the evening of Sept. 3 at Yanni’s Greek & Italian Restaurant.

Tickets and merchandise will be available at the party, which has no cover charge.

Tickets will cost $25 at the door for adults. All concert-goers age 15 and younger will get in for free if with an adult.

Mothership, the first band set to play, features features Jeff Banks of Newton as its frontman. The band’s list of accomplishments includes reaching the semifinals of the International Blues Challenge at BB King’s Blues Club in Memphis last winter.

Bob Dorr and the Blue Band are one of the veteran acts this year. The band is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

Knox is a phenom in his 20s.

COUNCIL | 7A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Newton City Council will consider purchasing the property at 512 First Ave. E. as a part of the D&D program during its regular Monday meeting.

Hauling down First Avenue

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The mighty tractor-trailers and big rigs that haul stock cars were on display Thursday evening for Iowa Speedway’s only annual haulers parade. The rigs made their way from the Speedway to First Avenue East, through downtown and along West Fourth Street South before returning along Rusty Wallace Drive. Here, Speedway President Jimmy Small waves as he leads the parade at the wheel of the pace car.

WHERE IT’S AT Astrograph......................5B Calendar..........................5A Classifieds......................4B

As a part of the D&D program, the city is once again looking to purchase real estate to help combat dangerous and dilapidated homes and improve community aesthetics. The purchase of the home is one of several items for the Newton City Council to consider for its Monday meeting.

The property at 512 First Ave. E. is an unoccupied single family home located on the primary arterial. It has also been the source of multiple complaints throughout the years.

The city believes removing the structure will help improve

the curb appeal of the area. The purchase price for the home is $23,000 — more than $10,000 less than the assessed value of the property.

The council will also look to address several intersections for new street signage.

Stop signs are recommended for South Fifth Avenue East at East 23rd Street South for north and southbound traffic for a safer school crossing, North 11th Avenue at East Eighth Street to replace the yield sign for westbound traffic with a stop sign for a higher level of safety at the Y intersection and railway crossing,

Summer tutoring focus is based on starting points Retention of previous material tough to maintain without work

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When the final bell rings at the end of the school year, students celebrate three months without classes. However, it seems students’ brain cells don’t do as much celebrating about the learning lost during the summer months.

Summer learning loss has long been documented as a hardship of American education, going back to at least the 1970s. While it allows for vacations, sports programs, large events like county and state fairs and a general break from classrooms, the summer break also creates a barrier to building consistent math and reading skills.

Elizabeth Hoksbergen, the executive director of instruction services at Apples of Gold Center for Learning said the amount of exercise, sleep, nutrition and hydration many K-12 students receive is often adequate, and a break from screen time is important as well. However, she also said research shows students who take breaks completely for about three months tend to suffer academically, so balance is also essential.

“Reading skills are built on language skills,” Hoksbergen said. “And thorough math skills involve being able to show your work and really build a strong core before moving higher.”

Hoksbergen said research shows a student loses 2.6 months of math loss over the summer, and about two months of reading loss for children from low socio-economic households or who have learning disabilities.

Children from families in higher income brackets tend to have proactive support for summer reading, she said.

It takes about six weeks each fall for teachers to re-teach some of those skills fall, she said.

“It takes two to three hours of work per week in the summer to prevent any learning loss,” Hoksbergen said. “Physical fitness paves the way for good learning, but without engaging in direct learning activities, that paving does not help reading and math skills.”

The National Summer Learning Association praises state

However, an NSLA study shows only 14 states mention at least one best summer learning practice, with the average number of practices mentioned at 2.2.

Hoksbergen said students who have experienced learning loss by the end of their sixthgrade year will be about two years behind their peers. This is a common issue among socio-economic challenged families, she said.

The solutions can come from the type of intensive assessment and two-month intervention program performed by Apples of

Gold, she said. Intervention and specialized education addresses the real roots of a student’s difficulties, Hoksbergen said.

However, the biggest key is parents and students must be willing to work hard and get back to basics.

“Putting pencil to paper is much more intellectually stimulating than screen time,” Hoksbergen said. “The connected movement to cursive writing is even better; it’s like brain therapy.”

Building reading and math skills is very much an interactive, one-on-one, individualized process, she said.

“It’s about teaching a child how to think,” she said.

Blues Continued from Page 1A The guitarist and vocalist brings a band to the Maytag Bowl that Mattingly hopes will invigorate younger listeners and help hand the tradition down to another generation of fans.

“It’s important to have veteran musicians at an event, but it’s great to have young talent, too,” Mattingly said. “Especially with the new blues-rock sound that seems to be surfacing.”

Connor has been making a name for herself in the Chicago area and elsewhere since the 1980s. Travis, whose band are the headliners of the event, is a singer who has made her name with hits ranging from the outrageous “Slap Yo’ Weave off ” to the more serious “M.O.D. (Man on Drugs).”

Des Moines-area left handed guitarist Rob Lombard will play music in between the day’s five sets, as he did last year. He’ll be joined by a duo known as Tina & Brandon.

Mattingly said she hopes the event is part of an ever-increasing series of arts and other public events designed to bring out pride for the city of Newton and the rest of the county. There are other regular arts events that are being planned, and an art fair will accompany the 2017 Bowlful of Blues.

“I really like to see collaboration between different organizations,” Mattingly said. “It’s exciting to see how much talent we have here, and what kinds of events can happen in Newton with the right planning and enough people involved.”

Submitted Photo Nellie “Tiger” Travis is one of the acts scheduled to play at the 24th annual Bowlful of Blues, set for Labor Day weekend at the Maytag Bowl. The event will be Sept. 4, a Sunday.

The end of the tour

Photos by Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The final week of Dan Wardell’s tour of Iowa public libraries concluded at the Newton Public Library on Thursday morning with two interactive shows. Wardell, a former Newton resident and host of the IPTV Kids Clubhouse program, brought his usual self-generated sound effects and lessons about nutrition and other subjects. An episode of Kids Clubhouse that was filmed in Newton is set to be replayed at 4 p.m. Friday on IPTV. Wardell applauds as Carley Purvis makes what turns out to be the “winning” face in a funny face contest as Cale Gebhart looks on.

Wardell prepares to shake hands with Vinny Kotz, and the two seemed well-acquainted.

Wardell is known by many Jasper County families, and many children who greeted him after Thursday’s show reminisced about his other public appearances in the area.

Celebrating

50 Years Wardell leads the group of children in Thursday’s second session in a “Hokey Pokey” type of dance.

Married July 29, 1966 Dean and Judy Lauterbach will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on July 29th.

Growing up as high school sweethearts in Perry, IA, Dean and Judy have called Newton their home since opening Lauterbach Buick GMC in 1981. Of the many blessings they count, the most precious has been watching God work in and through their family. Regularly on Sunday afternoons, the quietness of their home erupts into the sounds of conversation, laughter, and play.

Inside and often in the driveway, you will find Christie (Lauterbach) and Jon Dunwell--Addison, Bryce (Newton); Kate (Lauterbach) and Dave Leever--Madison, Peyton, Cale, Ella (Ankeny); Jason and Lori Lauterbach--Ryan, Paige, Clay (Newton); Michael and Holli Lauterbach--Piper, Camber, Tag, Blair, Maggie (Newton). It has been with a sense of wonder and thankfulness they’ve watched their family grow to 4 children, 2 son-in-laws, 2 daughter-in-laws, and 14 grandchildren.

Dean and Judy want to express their appreciation to Newton for the gift of many wonderful memories. In their reflections they celebrate the love and support of friends; their transformation through the ministry of Community Heights Alliance Church; and the opportunity to serve and make a difference through the local crisis pregnancy center and the Family Leader.

Most of all, Dean and Judy this day want to express their gratitude to their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for his enduring pursuit of His best for their lives.

Fishing adventures D

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 29, 2016

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

iary of a fisherwoman, take two.

A few weeks ago, my column discussed my return to the fishing world.

I have dived right into a place of lures and baited hooks that I wouldn’t change for a minute. I usually try not to discuss the same topic too many times, but this summer’s fishing adventures have been too much fun not to share.

My sister and I found our old fishing poles in our parent’s basement, and with the help of my guy, Tim, we got them all restrung and ready to use again. We took them with us to a family get-together at my great-uncle’s pond in Montezuma. Tim and I were going to fish and anyone who wanted to join had the option to join.

Everyone except mom joined us, plus a few cousins.

My sister had been itching to try her hand at fishing again after hearing about my experiences. Her now-husband, Justin, gave it a shot too, not having any prior experience.

He seemed to have more fun showing my cousin’s kids the fish Tim caught, but he had the casting part down.

My brother, James, and his girlfriend joined us, just wanting to watch. Justin and James convinced Lynnette to throw out one cast. Sure enough, on that first cast she brought in a bass. She was going to retire at 100 percent, but later she tried once more and had to settle for 50%.

In addition to the family fishing frenzy, I have been boat fishing sev-

eral times now and I can’t believe I haven’t done that before — it’s awesome.

It’s so relaxing to float on the water, cast in the line and just listen to the sounds of nature. It’s exhilarating when you feel the tug of the line and see and hear the splash when the fish you’ve hooked breaks the water. I catch mainly bass, but I’ve brought in crappie, sunfish, bluegill, bullheads and catfish.

I can’t remember if I had caught a catfish before. People tell me they are good to eat, but I’ve never been much of a fish eater. I decided if I caught a keeper-sized catfish, I would try my hand frying it.

Tim and I made a few attempts at catfishing without success, but we were fishing from the bank. This last time we were out on the boat, tied off to a tree in the water, hoping for more luck. I was still technically bass fishing when I hooked my first catfish.

I felt the normal tug of the line, jerked the pole to set the hook and started to reel in what I thought was a good sized bass. When the fish broke the water, I heard Tim say, “you’ve got your catfish.” That got the blood pumping. I could also see that it was a big one.

Tim talked me through how to reel it in. When I got it close to the boat, it parked itself under the tree and was immovable. Tim untied the boat and maneuvered the boat around to free the catfish from its hiding spot.

I reeled it in close, Tim reached out with his net and brought the large fish aboard.

I couldn’t believe I caught it. It was a 24-inch catfish — by far my biggest catch ever.

Tim cleaned the fish, and I prepped it for the frying pan. It actually wasn’t too bad. Guess I’ll have to catch another one to be sure.

So Anyway Dana King

Is it Mom clean?

Editor’s note: This column originally published Oct. 9, 2015 Wow, I think it’s finally sinking in.

College kid was home over the weekend. He’s struggling just a little bit with his three roommates and it has nothing to do with personality conflicts.

Apparently, to hear him tell it, he is sharing an apartment with barely domesticated swine.

I could tell you how I projected an expression of empathy, a look of motherly compassion and understanding while listening to his tales of woe of a dirty kitchen, no clean dishes, empty food containers and overflowing trash.

But my kids don’t have that kind of mother. No, my kids have the kind of mom that says things like, “Now you know how I felt!”

But even as those words left my mouth, he was already throwing up his defense with things like, “I was never THAT bad!” or “My room was usually clean” and the best one of all, “but Mom, we’re family!”

It has always been hard for me, being a bit of a neat freak, to live under the same roof as teenagers with their rotting shoes and their unmade beds, the half full cans of soda scattered around the house and the dwindling supply of cutlery in the silverware drawer, the glasses of milk I’d find in their bedrooms that more resembled containers of curds.

And don’t even get me started on wet towels on the floor and clean laundry hanging from everything in their rooms, except a clothes hanger.

Don’t tell ME you weren’t that bad.

I tried unsuccessfully to stand my ground several times over the years by refusing to pick up around the house behind those teenagers. My record was four days. I don’t even know if any of them noticed.

And as far as their bedrooms went, I would try the classic “if this room isn’t clean, you’re not leaving the house.” We have a saying in our house… “Is it ‘Mom’ clean?” I’m not sure why I even wasted my breath. I admit, I broke before they did.

It took my third go-round with a teenager before I finally decided … ehhh, I’ll just shut the door. At least I don’t have to see it.

But the very day we returned home from moving that final kid to college for his freshman year — Aug. 20, 2014 — I was in that bedroom ‘doing my thing.’ I envision passers-by seeing dust exiting the windows in that room, similar to smoke rolling from an enflamed house.

In fact, I made a little video of the before and after bedroom and posted it to my social media account. There was something cathartic about sharing my struggles and triumphing in the end. I have to take my victories where I can get them.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Loving America means finding fault with it I was sitting on a bus one summer, chatting with a man behind me who’d worked all over the world in the U.S. foreign service. Like many conversations today, ours turned eventually to the many problems with our country.

That’s when his companion, who’d been silent so far, spoke.

If things are so bad, he barked at me, why don’t you leave the country?

This man espoused a view I find antithetical to true patriotism. It can basically be summed up as “America — Love it or Leave it.”

There’s a lot that’s great about America, no doubt. But nobody would say we’re flawless — especially not in a summer wracked by mass shootings and police killings. Nobody would say we can’t become better in virtually every respect.

We’re a rich country, but we’d be better if we reduced poverty until it was no more. We’re a democracy, but we could extend our voting rights, reduce gerrymandering, or take any number of other measures to ensure each

of us has a say in our government.

We have doctors and researchers who contribute so many advancements to medicine, but we can improve access to affordable health care so that nobody has to die because they’re poor, or goes bankrupt for getting lifesaving care.

In fact, loving America means finding ways to make it better.

Imagine an America where citizens insisted from the start that you could only be considered patriotic by insisting that we’re number one — and that criticizing the United States at all was akin to being disloyal. We’d be stuck with a pretty troubled country.

At our founding, women couldn’t vote, slavery was legal, and enslaved people were considered three-fifths of a person.

The U.S. government continued a genocidal campaign against Native Americans into the 19th and early 20th centuries.

But some found it possible to be both patriotic and critical.

They called for the abolition of slavery and extending the right to vote to all citizens. Later they

Another View Jill Richardson fought to end Jim Crow, pass civil rights and environmental legislation, and to legalize birth control use — which was once illegal for even married couples.

Each of those milestones required finding fault with our nation. I doubt you’ll find an American today who doesn’t think we’re better for it.

More recently, we’ve legalized same-sex marriage, allowed gays and now transgender people to serve openly in the military, and passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women fight for equal pay for equal work.

And yet, we’ve got a ways to go. Women still don’t actually earn equal pay for equal work.

The U.S. has the highest prison population in the world. Decades after the civil rights movement, blacks are still worse off than whites in many ways. Not least, they’re three times as likely to be killed by police.

Pointing out these flaws with a mind to fixing them is hardly the same as “hating America.”

It’s loving America enough to be honest about our shortcomings in order to make us better.

a bachelor of business administration degree from the University of Iowa. Gary was united in marriage with Marcia Dunsbergen June 23, 1972, in Sully. He adored their three children, Carrie Joy, Ryan Michael and Brandon Lee. The family lived in Iowa before moving to Diamond Bar, Calif., in 1987.

Gary is survived by his wife, Marcia; his daughter, Carrie Williams of Costa Mesa, Calif.; his son, Ryan and his wife Kristen Williams of Garden Grove, Calif.; his son, Brandon and his wife Claire Williams of Winder, Ga.; and five precious grandsons, Connor, Jonah, Elias, Gage and Beau.

Gary is also survived by his sister, Betty Hartwell of Magalia, Calif.; his step-sister, Carole and her husband Rick Anderson of Palm Springs, Calif.; and his brothers and sisters-in-law, Gene Scarbrough of Newton, Marilyn and Melvin Jansen of Sully and Ron and Julie Dunsbergen of Sully; an aunt, Shirley (McCumber) Smith of Durham, N.C.; as well as several nieces and nephews who remember him for his welcoming smile and his corny jokes.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Elsie Williams; his step-father, Jack Willis; his sister, Jean Scarbrough; and his brother, Sam Williams.

Gary will be remem-

bered best for his unconditional love for his wife, children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, his kindness and compassion, his smiles, his hugs, his sense of humor and his puns. Most of all, he will be remembered for his Christian faith, his hunger to study God’s word, and his love for teaching adult Bible studies.

A memorial service was July 23 at the Diamond Bar Evangelical Free Church. In Lieu of flowers, please make a donation to EFree Building Fund, Latin American Christian Ministries, or St. Jude Crosson Cancer Institute.

A graveside service will take place at the Sully Cemetery next year.

Mom fights feelings of guilt over son being an only child DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of a 13-year-old son, my only child.

For the past 10 years I have been living with mounting guilt over the fact that he doesn’t have a sibling. It’s not because my husband and I haven’t tried, we have. But fertility issues took us down an empty road, and adoption discussions were just that — discussions.

I can’t tell you how many times our son has said he wishes he had a sibling. Every time, it’s like a knife in my heart and the guilt surges back. I think about the future and how he will have no brother or sister to share life with or lean on when something happens to my husband or me. Although I have always felt blessed to have him, I can’t escape these feelings. Sometimes I feel like I have failed him horribly.

It’s worth noting that my son is a happy, well-adjusted child. He has good peer relationships in school, is close to me and my husband and has hobbies and friends he enjoys spending time with. My love for him is endless, and I pray that he will forgive me someday for not being able to give him what he has so deserved. — SAD MOM IN OHIO DEAR SAD MOM: Take a step back, stop self-flagellating and ask yourself how many times your son may have also asked for a puppy. You say you have raised a happy, well-adjusted son. That’s an accomplishment that should fill you with pride. Not being able to give birth to another child is not something you should feel guilty about or need forgiveness for, and neither is refraining from adopting “so your son would have a sibling.” Not all siblings have the kind of relationship you fantasize about. While some do, many do not.

Please consider carefully what I have said and search your heart. And if you still think you are guilty of any sin of omission, discuss it with a licensed psychotherapist.

DEAR ABBY: Last year I found

out my husband borrowed $3,500 from our savings account and gave it to a female co-worker. When I asked where the money had gone, he lied to me.

It has been more than a year and the co-worker hasn’t repaid the money.

She comes up with cockamamie excuses, but has plenty of money to buy gifts for her grandkids and new clothes for herself. When I contacted her about it, she called human resources on my husband! He said no one at work likes her and she has a lot of personal problems.

Our marriage has been rocky, and we need this money back. What’s really going on here? How do I get her to start paying back the money? I have reached the end of my rope and my husband is no help whatsoever. He gets mad whenever I ask about the money. Some advice, please? — NEEDS THE MONEY DEAR NEEDS THE MONEY: Stop asking your husband about the money. It should be clear by now that the woman he gave it to has no intention of repaying it. As to her not being liked at the office, HE must have liked her or he wouldn’t have forked over all that dough.

Because your marriage is “rocky,” I’m recommending that you seek couples counseling. Perhaps with the help of a mediator your husband will be able to be completely truthful with you. That’s essential because good marriages are based on trust.

Western Iowa woman accused of injuring little boy COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — An Avoca woman has been accused of injuring a little boy.

Twenty-three-year-old Tanisha Pallaya has been charged with felony child endangerment causing injury. A court record says the child, who was born in 2012, was taken to an Omaha hospital in May. Doctors say the child’s bruises and abrasions on his back, abdomen, head, arms and elsewhere on his body appeared to have been caused by blunt force.

The Webster County medical examiner pronounced 98-year-old Allen Porter dead at the scene Thursday. Porter’s body was found in a hallway. An autopsy has been ordered, Dr. Dan Cole said. Fire officials say Porter’s caretaker escaped through a window. The fire cause is being investigated. Porter helped started the event in 1937 with Duane Vegors.

FORT DODGE (AP) — A 21-year-old Iowa woman who caused a Christmas Day crash that killed a 6-year-old Webster City girl has pleaded guilty to three traffic violations. Ruth Tomlinson pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving on the wrong side of a highway, failure to maintain control and having no proof of insurance. She was ordered to pay more than $2,300 in fines and court costs.

The crash happened just north of Duncombe.

5 Authorities say chemical that rained down was fungicide

MARION (AP) — Authorities say the chemical that rained down on a northeast Marion neighborhood was a fungicide.

—The Associated Press

Prevent unintentional drowning Jasper County Health Department According to the CDC, every day, about 10 people die from unintentional drowning.

Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States.

Since July 5, two 2-yearolds and one 6-year-old have died from drowning in Iowa.

Adults losing track of the children for several minutes appears to be a major factor in these drownings.

Drowning is the leading

cause of death by unintentional injury in children between the ages of 1 and 5.

Please remind parents and caregivers to provide direct supervision to all young children and non-swimmers, even when lifeguards are provided.

Other safety tips to remember when near or in water: • Use lifejackets for non-swimmers to bridge momentary lapses in supervision.

• All Iowans, children and adults alike, should use lifejackets on recreational waters.

• Learn to swim and teach your children as well. Formal

Academy

swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning, particularly among young children.

• Provide fences with self-closing, self-latching closures around swimming pools and spas.

Avoid alcohol use while swimming or supervising children.

the chopper and saw how an injured individual would be loaded and transported.

After several questions from the students about the aircraft, a group photo ended the 20-minute visit as kids then watched the helicopter take off once again.

Aside from the helicopter and law enforcement, students also learned about firefighting, EMS responsibilities and Iowa wildlife.

PCM students entering sixth, seventh or eighth grade were eligible to participate in the academy free of charge. Students received T-shirts and a graduation ceremony Saturday afternoon as nearly 20 hours of academy work came to an end.

The first two days of the academy were at Monroe City Hall July 15-16 as Chambers and Bartello taught kids the different forms of law enforcement, gun safety, officer discretion and physical requirements.

One activity was a traffic stop scenario that turned into a chase on foot.

The student acting as an officer wore a police vest and attempted to catch the culprit who was running away.

The purpose was to give students an idea of the equipment officers carry and certain physical activities that are required in the job.

Continued from Page 1A of today’s youth by giving kids a chance to act like a police officer on duty.

“It’s really just to introduce them to law enforcement — to give them a good idea of a career path they might be considering and what they might be doing,” Bartello said. “From the equipment we use, to the stuff we do on a daily basis, to our interactions with other departments like the fire and EMS.” Building searches were the final activity the students performed Saturday and remain one of the most popular sections of the academy.

“We split the kids up into groups of officers and suspects and went over the tactics for room entries, clearing rooms and apprehending suspects,” Bartello said. “We had suspects hide in city hall and then our team of officers had to clear the building and apprehend the suspects.”

Another favorite of the academy is the much anticipated visit from a medical helicopter. Friday afternoon, the helicopter landed near the Prairie City Recreational Complex and academy cadets experienced sitting in

Council Continued from Page 1A South Seventh Avenue East at East 10th Street South for east and westbound traffic which is currently an uncontrolled intersection and North Fifth Avenue at East 23rd Street North for east and westbound traffic per the existing Code of Ordinances.

Also, the Traffic Safety Committee recommends restricting parking on the east side of East 13th Street North in the 100 and 300 block and on the west side of East 20th Street North in the 200 and 300 block. The

committee found the road width of 25 feed is not wide enough to safely accommodate parking on both sides of the street.

Also to improve safety while driving and walking, the council will look to approve Alliant Energy to install a street light in the 600 block of First Street South.

It was determined that the area has a dense population with a high number of pedestrians.

The new light would be funded through the road use tax.

Open House –1st Avenue E Overlay and Safety Improvements Project Thursday, August 4, 2016 5-7 pm Newton City Hall 101 W 4th Street S The City of Newton is planning a project for 2017 that will mill and overlay 1st Avenue E and from the 1300 block to E 28th Street.

The project will include the construction of sidewalks on both sides of 1st Avenue E from the 1300 block to Iowa Speedway Drive.

To improve safety, changing the lane striping from the existing 4-lanes to 3-lanes is being proposed (results from 14 Iowa cities with a similar traffic volume indicate a 4-lane to 3-lane conversion reduces accidents by an average of 50%).

The City is hosting an open house for this project to obtain public input. Any questions regarding the project or open house, please contact Public Works at 641-792-6622, extension 20 or 31.

SICL all-conference softball teams filled with area flavor

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The South Iowa Cedar League all-conference softball teams were filled with area athletes.

Colfax-Mingo, the SICL champion, had three first-team selections and Tigerhawk coach Bryan Poulter was voted SICL Coach of the Year.

Lynnville-Sully had two firstteam selections in senior Kasiah Ehresman and junior Brenna Lanser.

Colfax-Mingo won 10 games in 2015 but bounced back in a big way in 2016, finishing 2510 and winning the SICL with a 13-2 record.

That positive turnaround helped junior Amy Russell and

sophomores Ries Wilson and Rhiannon Haley earn first-team honors.

Tigerhawk junior Alivia Haley was a second-team infielder, while freshman Delaney Underwood and Colbee Cunningham were both honorable mention choices.

Two area seniors who played a significant role in their team’s success this season were named to the Heart of Iowa Conference first team in baseball.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter ace pitcher Brady Stover and Prairie City-Monroe ace Austin Brown were both first-team selections.

The Raiders (7-8) and Mustangs (7-9) finished next to each other in the conference standings.

Saydel won the HOIC title at 15-0, while Gilbert was 12-4, and North Polk and Roland-Story both finished 10-6.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Lynnville-Sully made a legitimate run at the South Iowa Cedar League baseball title this summer.

Colfax-Mingo’s baseball team won nine more games than it claimed last season.

The strong seasons by both programs helped the Hawks and Tigerhawks land 11 total play-

ers on the SICL all-conference teams.

L-S junior Tyler Van Zante earned first-team honors as a pitcher.

Colfax-Mingo senior Gabe Simpson was a first-team outfielder.

Each team had two second-team selections and two honorable mention choices, while Colfax-Mingo’s Jarod Nichols won a Golden Award af-

Racing novice still learning after four seasons S

aturday marks the end of four racing seasons at Iowa Speedway for me. I didn’t realize when I got to Newton, Iowa Speedway had only been around since 2006.

By no means have I turned into a motorsports expert or a devoted fan of NASCAR or IndyCar racing. I do have a respect for those involved with the sport from top to bottom and everybody in between. These people are passionate about their sport and how it moves forward to be better, safer and more entertaining for their fans.

My respect began for the racing world while covering a great small dirt track in southeast Kansas. Humboldt Speedway is one of the best developed

ter injury cut his conference season short.

L-S sophomore Carson Dunsbergen was a second-team catcher and junior Caden Dunsbergen made the second team as an infielder.

L-S sophomore Elijah Collins and junior Dylan Roozeboom were honorable mention selections.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets dirt tracks in its region, and some may say it is the best. I don’t have any barometer on that front since it is the only track I ever covered.

Over the years I was the sports editor of a daily newspaper in the Humboldt area, I did a lot of stories on the drivers, the track owners/promoters and the track personnel. I relied on a track reporter and photographer, who gave me information and race photos each week. I began to learn a little about the sport of stock car racing.

The track promoted a few sprint car races and specialty races throughout each season.

Those drivers, owners and promoters were patient with me. I had no idea the questions to ask so I stuck with what I know — people stories.

Those men and women explained the cars and the sport to me. I retained the information, but never in my wildest

dreams did I envision myself faced with the challenge of NASCAR and IndyCar coverage.

When I left my comfort zone of Kansas and took a leap of faith God was sending me on a new and better path to come to work for the Newton Daily News, I was told of Iowa Speedway.

Alright, I can do this. Well, yes and no.

My first interview for a race weekend was with a 17-year-old Chase Elliott, who was coming to Iowa Speedway to compete in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Saturday, July 13, 2013. My editor at the time told me all I needed to do was take photos during the truck race. The newspaper had a special correspondent who would write the story.

Anxiety level was high for me.

I’m thrown into NASCAR events — Camping World Truck Series — where there are more vehicles, more speed, more everything.

I played it safe and shot from pit road, mainly when the trucks were coming out of Turn 4 onto the front stretch. I came up with some decent photos. I took Timothy Peters in Victory Lane that night.

I really didn’t pay attention to the race itself. I was concentrating on the photos. I did make sure I picked up every piece of paper distributed to the media in the media center. I made sure to record every driver interview before and after the race. I didn’t know why, but thought it was good practice. I wasn’t going to have to write the story.

Sunday afternoon comes and I receive a call from my editor. He asked if I met “Bill” and I said no. Had I heard from “Bill”? No. “Well, neither have I so you better write a race story.”

Talk about panic mode. I was in it.

I gather all the information I picked up and went through the interviews.

I needed to have a plan. I glanced at other stories on Saturday’s race trying to figure out how to start.

I started and finished the story.

They told me it was fine. Since July 2013, I’ve written quite a few racing stories — previews and races — and I believe I’ve gotten better. Iowa Speedway personnel, NASCAR personnel and IndyCar personnel continue to be patient with this racing novice.
