Woman transferred to Mercy for assault injuries

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A 33-year-old woman was transferred to Mercy Medical Center for injuries sustained during a domestic assault Sunday.

The woman went so far as to jump from a moving vehicle to get away, according to the police report.

Tyrece B. Lewis, 30, of Newton, was arrested and charged with domestic assault after authorities were called to Skiff MediLewis cal Center for a woman with multiple injuries to her face and body.

Officers determined the victim was assaulted by Lewis while in the vehicle and after she attempted to get away by jumping out, he stopped, pulled her back in the vehicle and returned to their residence, where he continued to assault her. She was taken to Skiff by a family member and later transferred to Mercy for further treatment.

Lewis is being held at the Jasper County Jail on a $1,000 cash bond.

Domestic assault is an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in jail and $6,250 in fines.

Mike Mendenhall/Jasper County Tribune Former Democratic state lawmaker turned talk radio host Ed Fallon speaks with supporters and reporters on the south steps of the Polk County Courthouse Wednesday before pleading guilty to trespassing. Fallon’s charge stems from a Bakken Oil Pipeline protest May 18 at the State Capitol Building.

Pipeline activist pleads guilty to trespassing after State Capitol sit-in

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune DES MOINES — Former Democratic state representative turned talk radio host Ed Fallon pleaded guilty Wednesday in Polk County District Court to criminal trespassing, stemming from his May 18 arrest during a sit-in at Gov. Terry Branstad’s office at the Iowa Capitol building in Des Moines. The sit-in

was in protest of the development of the proposed Bakken Oil Pipeline.

The Des Moines Democrat informed the governor’s staff during the 1:30 p.m. event last week that he would not leave the office until Branstad spoke with him regarding Senate File 506 and House Study Bill 249 — legislation intended to strengthen Iowa’s eminent domain laws, making it more difficult for

the oil pipeline company to acquire private property for the project.

Fallon has been one of the leading voices in opposition to a 1,134-mile, 30inch diameter oil pipeline that would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day from North Dakota through portions of South Dakota and Iowa to a hub in Patoka, Ill. The project was proposed by Dakota Access, LLC — a subsidi-

ary of Texas-based company Energy Transfer Partners — in July of last year.

More than 34 miles of the planned 343.43 mile Iowa segment is slated to run through Jasper County.

NHS, Thomas Jefferson staffs show what they’ve learned SAMs allow principals more time among students

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

File photo Berg Elementary School students enjoy lunch on a recent day. Berg and two other Newton Community School District campuses — Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Newton High School — will serve lunch, free of charge, to all children ages 1-18, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

June 8 to July 31.

At the May 18 Newton Community School District board meeting, staff members from Newton High School and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School went through their campus’s programs or systems that are working well.

One of those programs is getting a principal out among students more.

The effectiveness of school administration managers, which

were newly implemented in Newton over the past school year, has been debated from time to time.

Thomas Jefferson Principal Lisa Sharp, along with School Administration Manager Tom Bartello, made a presentation at the May 18 board meeting about how a SAM can help a principal be more effective. School campuses are host to at least one board meeting each year.

Using smaller dishes, such a lunch plate for your dinner, makes less looks like more.

Less is best Avoiding portion distortion

By Deb Nilles RDN, LD Skiff Medical Center Healthy eating includes making healthful food choices, which means knowing what and how much you eat. Do you know the difference between serving and portion sizes?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, they actually mean different things.

What’s the difference? A serving is a standardized, recommended amount of a food; a portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat. It’s OK to eat more than one serving of a healthful food, as long as you stay aware of the calories.

Here are some everyday comparisons to help you figure out your serving sizes.

• 1 teaspoon of margarine is the size of one dice • 2 tablespoons of peanut butter is the size of a ping pong ball

• 3 ounces of meat is the size of a deck of cards • 3 ounces of fish is the size of a checkbook • 1 cup of pasta is the size of a baseball • 1 ½ ounces of cheese is the size of four stacked dice • ½ cup of cottage cheese, yogurt or ice cream is the size of a tennis ball Keeping portion sizes under control is a key to maintaining your good health. Just 100 extra calories per day can lead to a weight gain of 10 pounds over the course of one year.

To overcome portion distortion and to downsize your helpings, try these tips.

• Eat from a plate, not a package, so you know how much you eat.

• Use smaller dishes, such as a lunch plate for your dinner, so less looks like more.

• Eat one serving of food

first, and then wait a few minutes before a second serving.

After waiting you might find that you’re no longer hungry enough for a second helping.

• When cooking for your family, offer one serving of food to each member of the family, then put the extra food away.

• Save the rest for leftovers.

• When eating out, split a meal or take half home with you.

• Visually cut the plate down the middle.

• Eat one half, and ask for the rest to go.

In addition to controlling portions, you’ll have lunch for the next day. Stay away from foods labeled “super-sized” when ordering a meal.

Once you get a good sense of serving sizes, you can compare them to the portions you eat and make any necessary modifications.

Study looks into healthy brains for Alzheimer’s culprit WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Sticky plaque gets the most attention, but now healthy seniors at risk of Alzheimer’s are letting scientists peek into their brains to see if another culprit is lurking.

No one knows what actually causes Alzheimer’s, but the suspects are its two hallmarks — the gunky amyloid in those brain plaques or tangles of a protein named tau that clog dying brain cells. New imaging can spot those tangles in living brains, providing a chance to finally better understand what triggers dementia.

Now researchers are adding tau brain scans to an ambitious study that’s testing if an experimental drug might help healthy but at-risk people stave off Alzheimer’s. Wheth-

er that medication works or not, it’s the first drug study where scientists can track how both of Alzheimer’s signature markers begin building up in older adults before memory ever slips.

“The combination of amyloid and tau is really the toxic duo,” predicted Dr. Reisa Sperling of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, who is leading the so-called A4 study.

“To see it in life is really striking.”

The A4 study — it stands for Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s — aims to enroll 1,000 healthy seniors like Judith Chase Gilbert, 77, of Arlington, Virginia.

tally sharp but learned through the study that her brain harbors amyloid buildup that might increase her risk. Last week, researchers slid Gilbert into a doughnut-shaped PET scanner as she became one of the first study participants to also have their brains scanned for tau.

“We know that tau starts entering the picture at some point, and we do not know when.

We do not know how that interaction happens. We should know,” said chief science officer Maria Carrillo of the Alzheimer’s Association, which is pushing to add tau scans to other dementia research, too.

More than 35 million people worldwide have Alzheimer’s or similar dementias, including

about 5 million in the U.S. Those numbers are expected to rise rapidly as the baby boomers get older. There is no good treatment. Today’s medications only temporarily ease symptoms and attempts at new drugs, mostly targeted at sticky amyloid, have failed in recent years.

Maybe that’s because treatment didn’t start early enough. Scientists now think Alzheimer’s begins quietly ravaging the brain more than a decade before symptoms appear, much like heart disease is triggered by gradual cholesterol buildup. Brain scans show many healthy older adults quietly harbor those sticky amyloid plaques, not a guarantee that they’ll eventually get Alzheimer’s but an increased risk.

Young runners, take your marks

Photos by Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Several Newton elementary schools have held “field days” this month, with students participating in track-and-field events and other sports fundamentals.

Wednesday, Berg Elementary School held its track and field day, which included Bryson Hickman, left, tries to keep up with these first-graders.

Report Continued from Page 1A ended up causing Thomas Jefferson’s host meeting to be moved, host Newton High School was joined by Thomas Jefferson leaders in presenting at the May 18 meeting.

Newton High School Principal Bill Peters brought with him Library Media Center Director Ann Nelson, language arts teacher Mark Burnett and science teacher Chris Forsyth.

They discussed an “Expanded Process Map” that focuses on learning strategies and speaking a common-core language across all campuses in the district.

Burnett said the September professional development day was used to show how Iowa Core standards are maintained as course curriculums grow.

“These are living documents,” Burnett said.

“They aren’t static. It becomes real; it becomes archival, and it’s something we can use when the state (department of education) comes through. We are mapping our courses.”

Nelson said depth of knowledge has four levels of complexity, and most standard tests are scored in that fashion.

“If we want students to do well on these tests, we need to make sure we are teaching at that level,” Nelson said. “We went over some available databases and apps to make sure all teachers know how to utilize these resources.”

Forsyth talked about the technology side, including online calendars, electric document delivery and a program called “Schoology.”

Sharp and Bartello, in their presentation, point-

Fallon Continued from Page 1A before his 2 p.m court date.

Glazebrook called Dakota Access’s attempts to gain property easements from Iowa landowners “legalized theft” and criticized what the men called “aggressive tactics” by the pipeline company.

“I think legally, if we see a challenge under Iowa law, the case could be made there is no justification for a private oil company — a private pipeline company — being able to use the public’s power of eminent domain,” Fallon said.

Fallon cited an unnamed landowner he spoke with Wednesday morning who, Fal-

ed out how Bartello, as a SAM, allowed Sharp to get out into the hallways more, and into classrooms.

“Last year, I counted how many walkthroughs (of classrooms) I got done throughout the year,” Sharp said. “I counted 41 — not too impressive.

This year, with a SAM, I’ve been able to do 231 so far, or 190 more (without about two weeks of school remaining). I have appreciated so much how Tom has been able to take on managerial tasks, so more than numbers, I’ve been able to learn the curriculum and really help with coaching.”

Sharp said she has been able to get out into the classrooms more, and she was able to increase her time spent on instruction by more than 12 percent, and her extra time was used in a variety of ways.

The estimate for the 2013-

lon said, has successfully kept pipeline representatives off their land through intervention from legal counsel.

“The pipeline company officials seem to think they have the right to come in and trespass, basically. Often times farmers discover (pipeline reps) there without having any idea they’re coming,” Fallon said.

“If they don’t get their way they come back again. Yet, here I am getting arrested for trespassing in the governor’s office. (The landowner) found it to be a little disturbing that farmers have no protection against this company coming in when ever they want.”

The former state representative made similar claims about Dakota Access land represen-

14 school year was about 42.5 percent of Sharp’s time was on instruction, but that is up to 55.3 percent for 2015-16.

“Since October, that number is actually up around 60 percent,” Bartello said. “And that time is broken down in a way that includes 18 percent on collaborative meetings, 15.1 percent in decision-making groups, 11.9 percent in walkthroughs and 8.6 percent in instructional one-on-one conversations with teachers.”

Sharp said being around students is sometimes a way of hitting a mental reset button.

“If I’m having a tough day, I just go into a classroom and watch the kids,” Sharp said. “That always brightens my day.”

tatives trespassing on private property during his 400-mile walk along the proposed pipeline route and in a March 14 community meeting in Mingo.

Affected Mingo landowner Bill Gannon made a similar claim during an interview with the Jasper County Tribune in November 2014, alleging surveyors for the Dakota Access were found on his 900-acre row crop operation after the farmer and former Iowa House minority leader had denied them entrance.

SF 506 — which has passed a subcommittee and is currently eligible for debate in the full Iowa Senate — would require Dakota Access to acquire 75 percent of property easements voluntarily before the Iowa

Correction An incorrect last name was used in Wednesday’s Page 1A story about Aaron Henning and a house fire. Genevieve Henning’s maiden name is Avila, and her parents, Angel and Diana, also have the last name Avila.

Utilities Board could allow the use of eminent domain to build the remaining 25 percent of the pipeline’s Iowa segment. It would also require the pipeline company to purchase $500,000 of hazardous cleanup insurance per affected county. Current Iowa law only requires Dakota Access to purchase $250,000 of insurance for the project in total.

Both SF 506 and HSB 249 have until the Iowa General Assembly adjourns to pass both chambers and be signed by the governor. Iowa lawmakers are currently in their fourth week of overtime for the 2015 session.

Fallon’s sit-in and arrest come days after Dakota Access confirmed a contracted procurement company has been

transporting pieces of 30-inch diameter pipeline into a staging field just 3-miles east of Newton, anticipating IUB approval of the project.

The maximum sentence for misdemeanor trespassing in Iowa is a 30-day prison term. A Polk County Judge sentenced Fallon to time already served Wednesday. Fallon served one night in the Polk County Jail following his arrest and posted a $300 bond May 19. Glazebrook told reporters during the 12:45 p.m. press conference he and his client did not anticipate the court to require more jail time due to the former lawmaker’s lack of past offenses.

Trending

No substitute for the cafetorium

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | May 28, 2015

Editor’s Note: This week’s “Trending” is a best-of edition was originally published in the May 29, 2014 edition of the Newton Daily News.

I don’t think I’ve quite hit the threshold in life that qualifies me to use the saying “in my day insert walking up hill, both ways shoeless story here.”

But at 28 years of age, I have already seen monumental changes in how our communities interact.

While photographing graduations and alumni get-togethers this season, I struggled to find a person who didn’t remark on the lack of returning graduates. Last week’s Colfax-Mingo Alum-

ni Banquet is a good example.

The official attendance tallies are not yet in, but by observation it appears 220 to 250 Tigerhawks made but dinner.

Many alumni mentioned the dwindling numbers.

As a Des Moines East High Scarlet, I’ve noticed this trend in my own alumni association. The passion for our community still exists, but those from my class are not attending. This, I believe, is partly due to the virtual class reunion that we see every day through social media.

Gone are the days of curiosity and gossip that went with seeing an old high school flame’s current look or the an-

ticipation to see that friend who moved abroad after graduation. Through Facebook, we already know what to expect. There isn’t as much drama — just the realization that the humor or joy we get out of seeing our classmates’ exploits online waters down the oncea-year meeting.

In gaining a massive online community, it appears we may be losing a sense of congregation. The importance of these events cannot be held to the intrigue into past acquaintances. Alumni events foster school identity and help fund the future through scholarships and school improvement fundraisers. Alumni

events are as much about investing in our communities’ directions as they are nostalgia for what once was. The older generations know this, and my generation would do well to learn it.

Facebook could be an avenue to enrich this investment, adding a new element of interactivity and online funding initiatives for our schools.

We could then convene at our banquets and reunions to see what physical rewards our online endeavors have brought.

Like your alumni. #EHSAlumnusFOREVER. Contact Mike Mendenhall at mmendenhall@newtondailynews.com

Education is at heart of legislative stalemate

By Senator Rob Hogg Recent news about the Iowa Legislature has focused on when we will adjourn. However, what matters more to Iowa families are the disagreements preventing adjournment.

The most important disagreement is education funding, something that directly affects economic prosperity.

Iowa’s families depend on educational opportunity. Education is the primary tool we have to give our children and grandchildren a leg up in life.

Investing in education is also key to building a stronger Iowa economy. Iowa’s schools help make Iowa’s workers among the nation’s most productive.

Rather than more tax giveaways for low-skill, low-wage jobs, we should promote the high-skill, high-wage jobs and businesses of tomorrow.

Educational leadership starts at our local schools. Today, Iowa invests $1,600 less per student than the national average, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency.

Sure, funding is not the only factor affecting student achievement, but don’t let people tell you it doesn’t make a difference.

Funding determines whether schools can hire and keep teachers and staff. Funding affects class size and how much individual attention each student receives. Funding makes it possible for schools to purchase up-to-date materials and invest

in technology. Funding will determine if the education reforms launched in 2013 will succeed.

After several lean years for education, how much is enough?

Education leaders say a 3 percent increase is needed to prevent Iowa from sliding further behind.

Republicans, who control the Iowa House, have proposed an increase of 1.25 percent and are refusing to budge. Democrats, the majority in the Iowa Senate, sought 4 percent but have proposed several compromises.

Most recently, we offered to split the difference by going to 2.625 percent. That’s not enough, but it would prevent cuts at most schools.

And that’s where things stand today. House Republicans have taken a “my way or the highway” approach to negotiations.

The Legislature is deadlocked because the “Republican way” means 1,000 fewer Iowa teachers, larger class sizes, and less individual attention for Iowa students.

The Democratic Senate and the Republican House also disagree on community college funding. Community colleges work with employers to address local skilled worker shortages and provide an affordable path to four-year schools.

Senate Democrats propose investing $8 million more for Iowa’s community colleges. House Republicans oppose any increase.

With regard to Iowa State, Iowa and UNI, the Board of Regents

has said that the tuition freeze can continue for another year under the Senate’s budget proposal.

Senate Democrats also support an increase in tuition grants for Iowa students attending our private colleges.

In contrast, the budget plan approved by the House Republicans would mean a tuition increase. The House budget actually cuts funding for Iowa and Iowa State. It would also cut need-based private college tuition grants.

Making it more expensive for Iowans to get a college education would be a blow to Iowa’s economy. Iowa students already graduate with more student loan debt than students in most other states. That leads some graduates to leave the state in search of higher paying jobs elsewhere.

Here’s the fiscal bottom line: The Senate Democrats’ budget makes all of these investments in education while also maintaining our state’s rainy day accounts (more than $700 million) and an additional cash surplus of over $200 million more.

We can afford to invest in education and a stronger economy. In fact, we can’t afford not to.

There is no doubt the 2015 legislative session will come to an end, sooner or later. What matters most to Iowans, however, is not the date of adjournment. It is whether Iowa renews our investment in education and our commitment to the high-wage economy of the future.

Across the bay from Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island can only be reached by ferry (snowmobiles in the winter).

The ferries are not the traditional type, but hydro jets that shoot rooster-tails of water.

There are no automobiles on Mackinac Island. Transportation is by foot, horse or bicycle.

The bicycles are the old fifties style, the horses are mostly Morgan or Percheron.

Just 12 hours from Mt. Pleasant, you can take either the southern route through Illinois, Indiana and up through Michigan; or the northern route through Wisconsin, over the top of Lake Michigan, through the Upper Peninsula (Yooper country), across the five-mile bridge, to Mackinaw City. Both routes take about the same amount of time.

Ginnie and I took the southern route going, and the scenic, northern route, coming home.

Yooper country is magnificent, with light houses along the shores of Lake Michigan and rolling hills of timber as far as the eye can see.

Watch out for moose and bear.

You can stay either in Mackinaw City, and

pay to ride the ferry to Mackinac Island; or stay on the more-expensive island. Six-of-one, halfa-dozen-of-the-other.

There are many sights to see on the island: the fort, the art museum, Arch Rock, Sugar Loaf Rock, the Grand Hotel (where a movie was made), the Butterfly Conservatory and the Governor’s Mansion, to name just a few. Take the bike trip around the island, it’s only 8.2 miles; or a horse-drawn buggy ride. Of course, there are shops and galleries galore. And fudge. I don’t know how this national fudge craze got started, but don’t leave your sweet tooth at home.

Dining is a treat. For a nice break from Iowa’s beef, pork and chicken, fresh fish abounds. The three nights we were there, I had walleye, white fish (I had never heard of ) and pasties.

Pronounced “past-ee,” it’s meat and potatoes folded into a pie crust.

Sorta like a potpie without the pot. I asked the waitress to tell us the story of pasties. She scooched into the booth beside us. People are so friendly in Michigan.

Pasties were invented by miners wives (in the past). They rolled meat, potatoes, and rutabaga or turnips into a pie crust, baked it and the miner put the concoction into his mine hat where it would stay warm. When it was lunch time, the miner took the pastie out, ate it with one hand, while digging ore with the other. We brought a couple of pasties home with us, like Michigan gold, stolen away in the cooler. Yummy.

Then there’s the ongoing rivalry between the “yoopers” and the “trolls.” Yoopers live in the Upper Peninsula where it is isolated and remote. They are a lonesome breed all unto themselves. The trolls live under the fivemile bridge that joins the UP and mainland.

I now have a “Yooperland” cap, and Ginnie has a pink “Yoopergirl.”

Mom seeks detour to safety around in-laws’ driving habits DEAR ABBY: My in-laws are fabulous. They love me and think the world of our 2-year-old daughter, “Hayley.” They do anything to support us.

Recently, they asked to take Hayley overnight and drive a number of places with her. My concern is the driving part. My father-in-law doesn’t believe in car seats.

On a few occasions he has asked me to just hop in the car with Hayley without a car seat. I refused. Another time, they had a circa-1980 car seat and asked to take Hayley with them to church. When I went to put her in the seat, the buckles wouldn’t work. When I reached over to the other side, the seat fell over. It wasn’t even strapped in!

Now for my biggest fear: My mother-in-law is a notorious distracted driver — she applies makeup, eats food, talks on the phone and texts. I am not comfortable with her taking Hayley in the car with her.

How do I approach this with them?

I don’t want to harm our relationship, and I’d like them to spend time with their grandchild independently. But I can’t put my daughter in a dangerous situation. Any thoughts would be appreciated. — FEARFUL MOM IN SAN ANTONIO DEAR FEARFUL MOM: Your fears appear to be well founded. Your “fabulous” in-laws cannot be trusted to transport your little girl.

My first thought was that you and your husband could buy them a car seat and have it installed. But if you can’t trust your father-in-law to use it, or your mother-in-law to devote her full attention to her driving when her grandchild is in the car, then the child’s safety must come first. As a mother, your job is to be conscientious, even if it makes you less popular. And your husband should back you up 100 percent.

DEAR ABBY: My husband is very affectionate. He loves to cuddle, snug-

gle and sweet-talk morning, noon and night. However, he doesn’t do it with me — he does it with our cats.

Don’t get me wrong — he’s a good husband, and I get a quick hug and kiss goodbye when I leave for work in the mornings and he holds my hand when we walk. But when we go to bed at night, he turns his back to me, reaches behind him, pats me on the arm and says goodnight. There is no cuddling and no sweet-talk with me.

Sometimes I would like a little scratch behind MY ears. We married late in life, so maybe the sex is out, but my late husband used to hold me and make me feel special. I’m only 62 and I can’t imagine living this way for the rest of my life, but I love this man, so divorce is out. Any advice? — “MEOW” IN OGDEN, UTAH DEAR “MEOW”: Was your husband like this before you married him?

If so, did you accept his proposal thinking you could change him? If not, then it appears you have a serious communication problem.

If you haven’t already, you need to tell him what you need in order to feel as loved and cherished as the cats. And if that doesn’t work, you both need marriage counseling because I can’t imagine you living the rest of your life starved for affection. As you said, you’re only 62.

Judge rules in favor of ‘Field of Dreams’ rezoning

5 Officials report new probable

DYERSVILLE — A judge has ruled that Dyersville officials acted legally in approving a zoning change for a proposed baseball complex at the “Field of Dreams” movie site. Residents seeking to block the development of the 24-field youth baseball and softball complex say they’ll appeal the ruling by District Court Judge Thomas Bitter that was made public Monday. Bitter’s ruling stemmed from a March trial over the council’s decision to rezone the site from an agricultural space to a commercial space.

DES MOINES — Officials say there’s another probable case of bird flu in Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship said Wednesday it’s responding to a probable case of bird flu at a commercial laying operation in Wright County in northern Iowa. Initial testing was positive for the disease.

If confirmed, the operation’s estimated 1 million birds will be euthanized.

Swollen rivers cause Texas cities to worry about flooding HOUSTON — While the barrage of deadly thunderstorms that hit Texas has tapered, many cities remain in danger, and officials have warned about the possibility of more flooding from rain-swollen rivers as the week goes on.

In suburban Houston, the rains have pushed the San Jacinto River above flood stage, and its waters were expected to cover streets in subdivisions along the west fork of the river, possibly stranding people in their homes for days if they don’t leave.

In Wharton, about 60 miles southwest of Houston, the mayor asked residents to voluntarily evacuate about 300 homes on the west side of the city due to the predicted rise of the Colorado River. In the rural Parker County community of Horseshoe Bend, some 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth, officials asked residents of about 250 homes to leave as the Brazos River rose.

By early Thursday, Parker County Emergency Management spokesman Joel Kertok said the Brazos River had almost crested, but officials had no reports of flooded homes and were monitoring the situation.

He said the river, which has a flood level of 21 feet, was at about 23 feet.

Meanwhile, in Central Texas, crews continued searching for nine people feared dead after the swollen Blanco River smashed through Wimberley, a small tourist town between San Antonio and Austin, over the Memorial Day weekend.

In Houston, residents whose homes were flooded by torrential rains on Monday and Tuesday also continued their cleanup efforts. The storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma this week have left at least 21 people dead and about a dozen others missing.

While the Houston area got a respite from rainy weather for most of Wednesday, the heavy rains from earlier in the week were still making their way downstream. By late Wednesday, the San Jacinto was at 52 feet, nearly three feet above its flood stage, said Kim Jackson, a spokeswoman for the Harris County Flood Control District.

“We’re advising residents to take any measures that they deem appropriate for their safety as the river continues to rise,” she said.

Joey Shedd, 23, didn’t plan on evacuating his home in the Moonshine Hill neighborhood located along the San Jacinto. Shedd said his home is safe because it stands on stilts, but he expected his parents’ home next door to flood as it

is on the ground.

“It hasn’t been this bad since Hurricane Ike (in 2008). This barely makes it to my house,” he said of the all-terrain vehicle he was using to ride across the flooded roadway that leads to his neighborhood in a rural area northeast of Houston.

Chuck Bayne was among those who decided to follow the advice of officials and leave his North Texas home in Horseshoe Bend, about 70 miles west of Dallas. On

Wednesday, Bayne, owner of the Brazos RV Resort, headed to his second home in Arlington.

“Everybody on the river is leaving — except you have a couple dozen who aren’t leaving. They’re afraid of looters, and some are just plain stubborn,” he said.

In Wharton, the Colorado River is expected to crest at 45.8 feet, which is nearly seven feet above its flood stage, by Friday.

Deaths highlight danger from storm drains The drowning of an Oklahoma firefighter and a Texas teenager in storms that swept through the Southwest highlight the persistent dangers posed by storm drains that help protect neighborhoods during flash flooding but can suck in unsuspecting residents and rescue workers.

The deaths are renewing calls for cities to identify potentially dangerous drain openings and cover them with grates or add other safety measures.

Drainage systems constructed in many densely populated areas to collect stormwater feature wide drain openings at the bottom of open culverts or ditches that feed into long pipes. During floods, the drainage channels create powerful currents that can sweep people in, along with those trying to rescue them.

In Claremore, Oklahoma, on Saturday, Fire Capt. Jason Farley was leading a rescue crew that helped evacuate families from flooded duplexes in the Tulsa suburb when he stepped into a water-filled box culvert, said Fire Chief Sean Douglas.

Farley and another firefighter who tried to rescue him were pulled into a drain pipe. The other firefighter traveled 200 yards until he was ejected from the pipe and survived, but Farley got caught inside and died.

“The water was high enough you couldn’t see the box culvert at all,” Douglas said.

In the Dallas suburb of DeSoto, Texas, 14-year-old Damien Blade was walking his dogs when authorities believe he was swept into an opening in a neighborhood drainage system and drowned.

The two were among at least 19 people who died in holiday weekend flooding in Texas and Oklahoma.

Several deaths or near-drownings occur every year in storm drains. In 2002, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommended that municipalities take steps “to minimize potential for injury” after the death of a Denver firefighter who was swept into a pipe while rescuing a woman stranded in a flood near a water-filled culvert.

Some local officials fear that covering the drains with grates might worsen flood damage to homes and property if they get clogged with debris.

“Clogging is one of our main concerns and that’s why many municipalities have to evaluate storm inlets on a case-by-case basis,” said Jon Durst, sewer superintendent in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where a 17-year-old boy died in a storm drain last summer. “You have to balance the risk.”

Cedar Rapids recently spent $50,000 to add a grate and fencing at the drowning site, and is looking at modifications to 16 other drain openings near schools and parks.

National public works and engineering groups say the grates can be kept clear with routine maintenance and innovative designs. Fences, guardrails and warning signs are other safety options.

Ken MacKenzie, a committee co-chair for the National Association of Flood and Stormwater Management Agencies, said new drainage systems are generally safer but cities need to upgrade many older structures that “can get a lot of water depth at the inlet of a pipe” and create dangerous situations.

“In light of the deaths that we’ve seen, it is a call to action for all public works people to be on the lookout,” he said.

In Claremore, Oklahoma, City Manager Jim Thomas said he’s asked his staff to evaluate the many open drainage ditches in the community of 19,000.

“Do we need to put safety rails in? We’re exploring all of those things now,” he said.

In the absence of state and federal regulation, cities take different approaches to managing the safety of their drainage systems.

Cardinals rally past Toreadors in season opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Trailing 1-0, Newton High’s Cardinals went to work in the bottom of the fifth inning at home against Boone’s Toreadors.

“That’s our game — put pressure on people. We got a couple of walks and a stolen base against a good pitcher. We put pressure on him and it got to him a bit,” said Dustin Brisel, Newton head coach, following a 4-1 victory for the Cardinals.

Senior second baseman Mike McCormick drew the first walk in the fifth, then stole second base.

Duncan Lee, the Cardinals’ junior right fielder, battled against Boone senior pitcher Jake Mallas. Lee worked a free pass to first base.

Junior third baseman Drew Stout put down a bunt with two on and no outs. Stout’s bunt turned into a fielder’s choice with all Cardinal runners safe to load the bases. Senior Tristan Peters hit into a fielder’s choice with McCormick out at the plate in a close play.

Newton still had the bases loaded when sophomore shortstop Connor Gholson came to the plate. Gholson ripped a fly ball to left field, which was misplayed by Boone’s Drew Wilber and Lee crossed the plate with the tying run.

Jeff Stanton, senior center fielder, singled, but no run scored as Gholson was called out for interference when the ball hit him as he ran toward second base.

With two gone, senior catcher Jordan Travis hit the ball hard at Boone’s Tyler Newbold at shortstop. Newbold couldn’t handle the ball cleanly, and Stout scored the Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News go-ahead run.

VandeWall’s bat powers PCM past Hawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — According to Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Katie VandeWall, the preseason practices hadn’t been going too well for her at the plate.

But after Wednesday night’s effort offensively, VandeWall may be singing a different tune come Thursday morning.

VandeWall homered, tripled, doubled twice, scored three runs and drove in three more to power the Mustangs to a 5-0 win over South Hamilton in the team’s home and season opener.

Senior pitcher Rachel Freland also fired a four-hitter in getting her first victory of the season.

“I’ve kind of been struggling in practice. I have been working on it though and tonight it just worked out for me. I felt good,” VandeWall said.

“It feels good to get a win. We have such a close team. It’s really fun playing with all these girls.

They are my best friends and the atmosphere is great and it makes it so much more enjoyable to play.”

VandeWall made every one of her at-bats count Wednesday. She drove the ball the top of the fence in left field in the first inning and that RBI triple drove in Jayci Vos and gave the Mustangs a 1-0 lead. VandeWall scored one play later off a passed ball.

The lead grew to 3-0 in the third as VandeWall led off the frame with a double. She laced it to the gap in right-center field and eventually scored

South Hamilton didn’t score but it had plenty of chances to do so.

The Hawks put at least one runner in scoring position in their first five atbats but couldn’t get over the hump against Frleland.

They stranded the bases loaded in the second inning and then left two more on in the third. Overall, the Hawks stranded 10 runners on base, while PCM strand-

ed seven.

“They came in with the expectations that we are going to get better every day,” Plein said. “Today was a good start. Everyone came out and did their job. I felt like everyone contributed in some way, which is overall what I want.

“Rachel had a excellent day. She did what she needed to do. She kept the baserunners off base and the hitters off balance and she threw a great game.”

Aside from VandeWall, the Mustangs also got three hits from sophomore Kayla Jennings and senior Molly Vignovich added two hits and a walk.

College baseball has been an enigma in the state of Iowa in recent years.

Iowa State and Northern Iowa disbanded their programs, leaving Iowa as the only Division I team in the state.

And before this season, the Hawkeyes’ baseball team was an afterthought for those that root for the black and gold.

I attended a game at Duane Banks Field a few years back. I was working on a story about a Marshalltown native who was an assistant coach at Kansas State. At that time, the athletic department may have paid me By Troy Hyde to attend the game if I wasn’t Newton Daily getting in with a press creNews dential.

Sports Writer The vibe wasn’t there. And there were plenty of empty seats.

Rick Heller has changed all of that. In just two seasons, Heller has already packed the stadium because the Hawkeyes are exciting and fun to watch.

They also are good.

Iowa locked up a two seed for the NCAA Tournament and will head to the Missouri State regional with the hopes of continuing its run to Omaha.

I have never been to the College World Series. It has been something I have always thought would be fun but, for one reason or another, I just never made my way there.

If the Hawkeyes find a way to make it to Omaha, this may be the year that I break that streak.

You never know what will happen in baseball. Iowa has won games it wasn’t expected to win and lost to teams that force you to shake your head.

It will be a tough task. Any team that makes it that far usually earns it. And deserves to be there.

Hopefully, the black and gold will give me a reason to make the trip. I need to check that off my bucket list.

Another bucket list item I have been wanting to check off my list is the Principal Charity Classic.

I feel bad that a Champions Tour golf event comes to the town I have lived in for several years now and I have yet to attend.

NEVADA — Sophomore Abbey Kahler twirled a five-hitter and struck out 13 in her first career varsity start and Vernonica Condon had three hits as the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter softball team began the season with a 7-1 win over Nevada.

Kahler, a move in from Ballard Schmitz in the offseason, made just one mistake in winning claiming her first career varsity win. Erika Helton blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth to provide the Cubs with their only run. Kahler scattered four more hits over seven innings of work.

The Raiders jump out in front with a run in the first as Megan Ritter walked and scored. Ritter made it 3-0 in the fourth when she smoked a two-run single down the third-base line. CMB plated four more runs in the fifth to pull away against its Heart of Iowa Conference rival.

“It was a good night to play,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “I liked our how aggressive we were.

It was a really good team win.

“It was good to see Abbey throw so well in her first varsity game. She didn’t walk anybody, which is impressive in the first game of the year.”

The Raiders (1-0) had at least two runners on base in every inning and committed no errors in the field.

Condon doubled and had an RBI, while Harlie Durr chipped in two hits, two stolen bases, a walk, two runs and an RBI in the win.

Blackhawks beat Ducks 5-2 to force Game 7 in West finals CHICAGO (AP) — It is really hard to wear out Duncan Keith. He just keeps going and going and going.

Keith had three assists and saved a goal in the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Wednesday night to force a Game 7 in the Western Conference finals.

The Blackhawks’ biggest stars stepped up during a key stretch in the second, led by another terrific allaround performance for Keith. Shaking off the Ducks’ plan to wear down Chicago’s top four defensemen, Keith had his fourth multipoint game of the playoffs.

“He’s kind of a freak as far as his metabolism and conditioning level,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “I think the more he plays, the more efficient, the more he gets going.”

Andrew Shaw had two goals late in the third, sending the Ducks to their first regulation loss of the playoffs.

Brandon Saad, Marian Hossa and Patrick Kane also scored for Chicago, and Corey Crawford made 30 saves.

Next up for the NHL playoffs is a double dip of Game 7s to determine which teams will play for the Stanley Cup. The New York Rangers host the Tampa Bay Lightning in the East final Friday night, and the Blackhawks and Ducks meet in Anaheim on Saturday night.

It is only the second time in the expansion era since the 1967-68 playoffs that each of the conference finals required a Game 7. The other time was in 2000, when New Jersey went on to beat Dallas for the NHL title.

“I think the finality of it is what stands out,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I mean, one group is going to go home and one group’s going to go play for the Stanley Cup. There’s really not a lot you can leave on the table.”

The Ducks and Blackhawks each

dropped a home Game 7 to Los Angeles last season. Anaheim blew a 3-2 series lead against the Kings in the second round, and the Blackhawks lost 5-4 in overtime in the West finals on a deflected shot from Los Angeles defenseman Alec Martinez.

“I remember the feeling after we lost that game,” Kane said. “We definitely don’t want that feeling again.”

Patrick Maroon and Clayton Stoner scored for the Ducks, and Frederik Andersen made 18 saves.

Anaheim caught a break when Jakob Silfverberg brushed up against Crawford’s glove on Stoner’s first goal of the playoffs at 1:57 of the third, trimming Chicago’s lead to 3-2. There was no call on the play and Crawford threw up his hands in exasperation after Stoner’s big slap shot went into the net.

But Crawford quickly put the play behind him, hanging tough while the Ducks made a frantic push for the ty-

ing goal. He got some help from Keith when the two-time Norris Trophy winner swept a shot away from the goal line about 3 1/2 minutes into the period.

“It’s unbelievable,” Shaw said. “He’s one of those athletes who digs down and finds that extra step.”

Shaw finally got the Blackhawks some breathing room when he beat Andersen with a nifty backhander high into the net with 3:32 left. Andrew Desjardins made a nice hustle play to get the puck over to Shaw for his third playoff goal.

Shaw then added an empty-netter in the final minute as Chicago improved to 7-1 at home in the playoffs.

“I think we chased the game a little bit tonight and I think we let them dictate the second period,” Ducks center Ryan Kesler said. “They scored three quick ones. It’s tough to come back from three goals. We gave it a shot there.”

Hawk girls win, boys lose at Iowa Valley

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton third baseman Drew Stout protects the line and dives to stop the baseball. Stout made the play and touched third base to record the third out in the top of the sixth to end a scoring threat by Boone in Wednesday’s game at Woodland Park.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Tyler Wood, the Cardinals’ senior starting pitcher, reached on a dropped third strike and Peters scored. Newton was up 3-1. Mallas hit Newton senior first baseman Michael Barr with a pitch forcing in another run.

Wood did not have the crisp outing he wanted in the season opener. He issued five walks in the five innings he pitched. Wood and the Cardinals worked out of a bases-loaded, nobody out situation in the first inning with only one run crossing the plate for the Toreadors.

In the top of the sixth, Wood gave up back-to-back walks so Brisel went to the mound.

Gholson and Wood switched places from pitcher to shortstop. Gholson answered the call with two strikeouts and a fielder’s choice — a diving stop at third base by Stout — to retire Boone.

Gholson worked the top of the seventh for Newton. He hit a batter with a pitch then struck out the next one. Boone loaded the bases one more time on a bloop single and an error by the Cardinals. Gholson ended the contest by striking out Jackson Hull and Wilber.

“We were all nervous. It was first-game jitters for the

players and for myself,” Brisel said. The first-year head coach got a water-bucket shower from his players following the game. “Once we settled down, we made plays, routine plays to stay in the game.”

Travis made his first start behind the plate for Newton.

He threw two Boone base runners out on stolen base attempts at second base.

“This is the best win I’ve had for baseball,” Travis said.

“I worked hard to be ready for it, but I was nervous back there. I didn’t want to miss pitches or allow runners to steal bases on me. Tyler had a shaky start for him, but settled down. Then Connor came in with a lot of confidence and threw strikes.”

Wood got the win on the mound. He allowed one run on three hits and five walks.

Wood struck out four batters.

Gholson picked up the save with two complete innings of work, giving up one hit, hitting a batter and recording five strikeouts.

Mallas limited the Cardinals to two hits in a losing effort for Boone. He walked four, hit a batter and struck out six.

Lee and Stanton each had a single for Newton. Gholson and Barr had one RBI each.

Boone scored in the first inning. Newbold laced a double to right field and Hull singled

to left. Wilber drew a walk then Mallas had an RBI sacrifice fly. The Cardinals used a fielder’s choice and Wood catching Colby Disbrowe trying to steal second base to get out of the inning.

“All the hype of playing our season opener yesterday (Tuesday), and it getting rained out carried over to tonight,” Travis said. “We really wanted to win at home and we had a great crowd out here to support us.”

Brisel said once the Cardinals got past the first inning, things began to settle in to the routine they wanted. He said they believed they had a solid defense and that was proved tonight.

“Tyler and Connor threw strikes, and our defense backed them up. Travis did a great job behind the plate for us,” Brisel said. “We have things we have to improve on, but the good thing is we get to turn around and play again tomorrow.”

Newton (1-0) plays at Chariton Thursday. The Cardinals go to Ankeny Saturday for a tournament. Tuesday’s game at Marshalltown has been rescheduled for June 6.

Boone won the junior varsity game, 7-1, Wednesday.

Warriors end 40-year NBA Finals drought OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — After a generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have finally arrived on basketball’s biggest stage again.

Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

“Why not us?” Curry said to a roaring, golden-yellow shirt wearing crowd after the Warriors received the Western Conference trophy from Alvin Attles, the coach of their last championship team in 1975.

“The Bay Area’s been waiting for 40 years,” Curry said later. “I think it’s time.”

The Warriors shook off a slow start and sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 to close out the Rockets and set up a matchup with LeBron

James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beginning June 4.

It was hardly the prettiest performance — but one they’ll savor nonetheless.

Yellow streams and confetti fell from the rafters when the final buzzer sounded. The Warriors shared hugs and handshakes, and the crowd chanted “M-V-P!” for Curry.

He relished the moment on the court with his 2-year-old daughter, Riley, who joined him in his postgame news conference — laughing, playfully interrupting him and walking around the room again.

“I think she’s taking advantage of the moment for sure,” Curry quipped.

Dwight Howard led Houston with 18 points and 16 rebounds. But MVP runner-up James Harden had a forgettable finale, with a playoff-record 13 turnovers and 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting.

“Tried to do a little bit too much and turned the ball over

and gave them easy baskets in transition,” Harden said.

“This isn’t where we wanted to end at. It’s a really good season for us. Next year we want to be better, and we will.”

It was a tough way for the Rockets’ run to end. They overcame a knee injury that sidelined Howard half the season to finish second in the West, played without starters Patrick Beverley and Donatas Motiejunas in the playoffs and rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round.

The Warriors were one obstacle Houston couldn’t clear.

“The guys fought hard,” Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. “One thing about the team is that they were battlers, and a lot of guys in that room you feel pretty comfortable going to war with.”

Now it’s LeBron vs. Curry.

King James vs. the Baby-Faced Assassin.

The four-time NBA MVP vs. the newly crowned MVP.

MARENGO — Lynnville-Sully’s softball and baseball teams played on the road against Iowa Valley in South Iowa Cedar League action Wednesday. The Hawks had different results.

It was the season opener for the Hawk baseball team.

Astrograph

The Libra moon is sponsoring a match: Happiness vs. Fun. Fun is in one corner, promising you easy laughs and immediate pleasure. Happiness rallies from the other side of the ring looking not nearly as flashy and offering little more than meaningful responsibilities to shoulder. Not so glamorous, perhaps, but something to root for.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). A positive spin on your history will give you a secure basis on which to accept this year’s copious bounty. Your project catches fire in June. Reinvest the windfall that comes of this. October and February

are the times to make grand plans for fun and charity -- the events you pull off will change lives, including your own.

Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 20, 1, 22 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Making amends will fix what’s broken, even though you don’t feel you’re really to blame.

Forget about the blame for now while you focus on helping the other person feel better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be in charge of molding a young mind -- maybe your own, maybe someone else’s.

Get the best information and

the best teachers. Ask for recommendations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Mild interest soon turns to fascination and then to wanting. Don’t act on this now, especially if it has to do with making a purchase or a commitment. You could feel totally different tomorrow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Volunteer. Don’t be worried that you’ll get burned out by selfless service, because this actually will be what energizes you. It’s the things you do for compensation that may be draining.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Impulsiveness isn’t always ill informed. You’ll get infor-

mation in a psychic flash.

Somewhere in the back of your mind you’re thinking of the long-term benefits even as you follow a spontaneous impulse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Once you’ve taken the time to learn the etiquette, the protocol or simply the rules by which a group of people abide, you’ll be accepted. That’s when you’ll be able to totally relax and let your natural inclinations guide you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The main reason to be mellow and patient now is not that it will make another person’s life more pleasant (though it will); it’s because you’ll feel very guilty and sorry shortly after you lose your cool.

Jasper County FSA Office 709 1st Ave W Newton, IA 50208 641.792.5019 FAX 855.211.4016 USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You don’t have to place a personal ad to attract what you’re looking for. However, writing one up (just for you) would be a helpful exercise to keep you focused. You might be surprised with what you come up with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Interesting people have a way of heating up your firesign energy. This is how you’re able to melt through a layer of ice that someone has taken years to cultivate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may find yourself stretching to meet one of your many fiscal responsibilities and perhaps feeling a tad resentful that you can’t have more fun

with your money. Be patient.

All in due time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re endowed with aesthetic and creative gifts, and you’ll use them to give your environment a more pleasing sheen.

Friendships, however, are your greatest work of art.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Relax and see where life takes you. Floating with the tides might be considered passive, but right now it will open more opportunities for you than trying to row against the current.
