At its May 18 meeting, the Newton Community School District board heard and saw a presentation from its superintendent, Bob Callaghan, who is charged with assigning personnel for upcoming school years. Callaghan presented a detailed personnel report that spells out where many teachers, specialists and administrators are headed in 2015-16.

Callaghan said the “reductions,” which including eliminating one principal position, and the nine involuntary transfers on next year’s assignment list, are meant to keep the district’s general fund PLACEMENT | 3A

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 29, 2015 The Newton Daily News recently visited Woodrow Wilson Elementary and asked students:

“Social Studies — Our teacher was not really very good at that subject.”

Students pick their own Genius Hour subject Gardening, go-carts among varied focuses of middle school program

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When most of us think of the terms “genius moment” or “genius hour,” it’s usually a sarcastic reference to a time when we appeared to have left our brains at home.

However, for the Berg Middle School students who participated in a teacher’s new Genius Hour program, brains were very much brought along. Students opening their minds to a new, constructive activity was the focus of the program, brought in

by BMS math teacher Tara Zehr.

“It’s tough to find ways to give kids things that they really want to do, in a way that challenges them,” Zehr said. “The students were allowed to pick their own topics, as long as they’d be learning a new, useful skill.”

The topics in the extra-curricular group ranged from filling in a planter in front of the Berg School Complex to learning how to build a go-cart. There were about 12 students in the new group, which was started fairly late in the school year.

The Genius Hour worked primarily in teams of various sizes. The students who are part of the group were recommend-

ed to Zehr by their homeroom teachers. Laura Wyre and Ethan Daniels worked with the planter in front of the school, replacing grass with wood chips and large flowers. Nicholas Tremel was on a go-kart design and construction team, while Anastacia Andersen worked on photography projects.

These four were joined by Haley Budak, Jace Hackworth, Collin Hemann, Harley Neal, Chloe Pak, Jackson Poulson, Tegan Simmons and Bailey Van Sickle in the group.

“There was a lot to the planter project,” Wyre said. “It had to be tilled; we had to get the funding from the student council, and there was some real work in getting it all ready.”

Andersen said she’d taken most of the photos she planned to use for a photography project.

“It was fascinating to me how many changes you can make to photos, just by changing camera settings,” she said.

Tremel said the go-kart project will last into the summer months, as it isn’t quite complete. However, he’s already opened the eyes of at least one classmate.

“I really didn’t think they’d, like, actually plan and build a

God bless you all.

go-kart,” Wyre said.

While this comment brought a mock dirty look from Tremel, one of the aims of the group seems to be exactly centered on Wyre’s amused skepticism — what do others believe a student can accomplish, and, more importantly, what do those students believe about their own abilities?

“We’ve already learned a great deal about tires, engine sizes and more,” Tremel said.

While eighth-grade students will be moving on to Newton High School in August, they remain excited about the Genius Hour opportunities younger students might encounter in the years ahead.

“It will be great to come back in a year or two, and see what students are working on then,” Daniels said. “I wonder what can be accomplished, if students have a whole school year to work on projects.”

Wyre said the projects became to be about more than simple curiosity.

“It’s fun to learn about and to do new things,” she said. “It’s even more fun to improve them.”

Placement: NCSD teachers, administrators, others to change roles Continued from Page 1A from going into the red, based on the state legislature’s 1.25 percent proposed increase in supplemental aid.

Should Iowa districts receive less than a 1.25 percent increase in state aid, Callaghan said, the district would have to re-examine its staffing and look for even newer ways to cut its payroll.

Here are some of next year’s changes in NCSD faculty staffing, in no particular order: Tom Bartello, who was school administration manager at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, will become the principal there.

Lisa Sharp will leave her Thomas Jefferson principal position, accepting a re-assignment as principal at Berg Middle School.

Middle School Principal Scott Bauer resigned to take a job outside the district.

Aurora Heights Elementary School Principal Carol Farver is retiring; Jim Gilbert will add the Aurora Heights principal’s duties to his existing title of Director of K-8 Services for the district.

Allison Morgan will remain at Thomas Jefferson, but will go from teaching first grade to teaching third grade. Several special education staffing changes are set to happen. Jenny Verwers is going from a special education position to a regular fourth-grade teaching position at Woodrow Wilson Elementary; Chris Mullins is moving from Thomas Jef-

Clute has resigned to take a job away from public education; Clarissa Bloom will move from Thomas Jefferson to take over for Clute as the Newton High School nurse.

Kara Avis has accepted a reassignment from Berg Elementary kindergarten to the preschool program at Emerson Hough, though this change is listed on the “involuntary transfer” list as well. There are a total of six positions on the May 18 report that show these type of involuntary changes. Six positions are listed on the recent district personnel report as “on hold.”

These include the SAM vacancy created by Bartello’s promotion to principal; one Thomas Jefferson firstgrade teaching position, the high school science position, a sixth-grade teaching slot and Berg Middle School special education and math positions. There are three NCSD classified positions that won’t be filled.

Chris Dunsbergen, an Aurora Heights administrative assistant, is resigning; Ken Owens’ head custodian job at Emerson Hough is being eliminated, and the transportation department will lose one position. Larry Wylie, a custodian, will move from NHS to Emerson Hough.

Melinda Worthington will continue as the central office secretary during the summer months, but will head to Aurora Heights during the months of the school year.

Steve Weeks will move from middle-school cross country coach to coaching the Newton High School teams, with Bartello, the new Thomas Jefferson principal, resigning from the cross country staff.

At the May 18 meeting, Callaghan outlined the categories of funding available for salaries.

“Our financial position has been supplemented, since 2009, with a large amount of federal funding,” Callaghan said. “No one can foretell the future, but we were supposed to receive a funding stream, and we still do not have one for the fiscal year that begins July 1, so we are preparing for zero state aid beyond what we received last year, per the state law.”

Callaghan said he hopes to fill the high school science position, which could have an impact on how many advance-placement science classes can be offered at Newton High.

“Mr. (NHS Principal Bill) Peters and I have had multiple conversations about AP classes,” Callaghan told the board. “We want to offer what we said we’ll offer.

Do I think we can find funding to that? Yes. But I don’t know, right now, exactly how we can fund that until we amend our budget.”

As good as it gets

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 29, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Sept. 26, 2013.

On a Friday night in late September, you could hear the announcer over the loudspeaker from blocks away. That’s when it was time to head to the game.

When you arrive as H.A. Lynn, you knew you had to park blocks away. The sun was out, but setting, the colorful, crisp leaves and the brisk, chilly air fill the sky as you walk down the street to the stadium in your Newton Cardinal sweatshirt.

You’d walk in and you couldn’t wait for the game to start. The entrance was crowed, but then again, so were the walkways, the concession lines and the stands — well, there wasn’t an empty seat in the house.

Prior to kickoff, the boys,

in their white, red and black uniforms with helmets on looked ready and excited as they spread out in lines across 50 yards of green grass.

The crowd silenced itself right before we stood, faced the flag and the band played the national anthem. Then it was time to play.

As kickoff approached, the players encouraged loudness from the home stands, and they got it. In the student section, we’d start off with a soft roar that would crescendo into one, enormously loud shout as we kicked the ball to the opponent.

The girls would scream and the guys would yell, and we’d hold onto each other as we jumped for joy, witnessing a wide receiver make a 20-yard catch and run down the sideline for another 20 yards before being desperately tackled.

The same thing would happen in the fourth quarter.

Maybe we’d have the lead, but the opposing team was able to take the ball down to our 15yard line. However, our guys would make an incredibly defensive stand in the red zone on third down and the opponents would be forced to a mere 3-point field goal. Field goals are game changers, but not when you’re team is up by four or more with time running out.

When we won, parents, students and fans alike would exit the stadium together, often times mixed, but always with the same glorious grin.

Looking back, I thought, this is as good as gets.

It could be the weather, but it’s probably the research I’ve been doing on John Jenkins that has me reminiscing about the triumphant days of

yonder. They weren’t always wins — we lost heartbreakers too — but either way, we stuck together.

In today’s paper is the first part of a two part feature about the former coach who took over after legendary Frank Gilson, and it was an honor to get to know Coach Jenkins again.

Throughout interviewing players, coaches, friends and family members of John’s, I was reminded of three things: family is the greatest gift we’re given, and that some people we meet are family we never had; being a good person is more important than winning; and how one thing, like football, can create a bond and pride throughout an entire community.

Looking back, it was as good as it gets.

Budget cabinet will draw attention to national debt

Letters to the Editor

Murray Wier’s jersey should be retired Dave Buhr Waterloo The recent health issues of Roy Marble prompted an outcry to have the jersey number of Iowa’s all-time leading scorer retired. But I want to bring attention to another Iowa standout basketball player who is long overdue in having his jersey number retired.

Check the rich history of Iowa Hawkeye basketball. Who was the only Iowa player ever to lead the nation in scoring? Who was the first Hawkeye basketball player (of only three in school history) to be named the Big Ten

‘Proposed’ pipeline is done deal Max Tipton Newton Recently the Newton Daily News has printed letters referring to the proposed Bakken oil pipeline.

It is my opinion that the word “proposed” is not applicable.

Conference Most Valuable Player. The answer Murray Wier.

Wier was a four-year starter (1944-48), leading the nation in scoring as a senior (with a then Big Ten record 21.0 ppg avg in 1947-48). He was the first player to be named Iowa’s team MVP twice (1947,48) after leading the team in scoring in each of those two years.

Wier is the only Iowa player who earned consensus first team All-American (by four sources) who doesn’t have his jersey number retired.

Wier also had a distinguished post-collegiate career, playing in the NBA for four years with the Tri-City Blackhawks now the present day Atlanta Hawks.

He would later be inducted into the Iowa High School Basketball Hall of Fame after posting a 374- 148 record in 24 years as head coach at Waterloo East High School, leading the team to the 1974 state championship I was fortunate to play for Murray who was an old school coach where you had to earn everything you got. He taught his players to play with pride and with a passion to win. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it.

I strongly urge all Iowa fans to contact Iowa athletic director Gary Barta (gary- barta@ hawkeyesports.com) to right this longtime wrong now while Murray Wier, at the age of 88, is still alive to cherish this honor.

Why do I have that opinion? Because I believe Branstad has cut a backdoor deal with Bakken.

And why do I have that opinion?

Branstad replaced a member of the State Utility Board, and I have neither read nor heard a believable explanation for changing the makeup of the Utility Board unless it was done to assure a favorable decision for Bakken.

And why is the Bakken Company delivering pipe to Jasper County ahead of a decision by the Utility Board? I do not believe that a company would go to the expense of hauling the pipe to the “proposed” area and then the expense of hauling the pipe back if the project is rejected by the Utility Board.

Time will tell.

This week, former Congressman Leonard Boswell and I were among a bi-part i s a n group of 10 Iowa leaders in business, civics and politics appointed to the First By Dan Kelley Iowa Budget C a b i - Representative net. I am honored to have a chance to work closely with Leonard Boswell. Members of the First Budget Cabinet are working to bring attention to the national debt and spark conversation among presidential candidates in both parties on this critical issue.

Currently, the United States’ debt stands at more than $18 trillion — and rising daily. Interest on the debt is the fastest growing category of federal spending. By the time the next President takes office, the federal government will spend $331 billion on interest payments. As a result, less funding is available to invest in education, transportation, medical research and other programs important to the future.

The largest drivers of the debt include an aging population that is leaving the work force, paying less in taxes and starting to draw Social Security and Medicare benefits. Other factors include rising health care costs; interest costs, which will only get larger once interest rates return to normal; and an inefficient tax system riddled with special provisions favoring some individuals and businesses over others. Addressing these challenges will require legislators and the administration to reach across traditional party divides to take action.

At times, it can seem like there is nothing Democrats and Republicans can agree on. That is why, when opportunities arise for bipartisan solutions to important issues, we must grab them. Putting the

country on a solid fiscal path is one such opportunity we can address together.

We cannot mortgage our children’s futures, and although the situation looks grim, there are solutions.

I have joined with the First Budget campaign to use Iowa’s unique position to advocate directly to national leaders for sound fiscal policies. Our state’s first-in-the-nation Presidential caucus status allows Iowans the distinct privilege of vetting presidential candidates and helping to shape national campaign priorities.

As a voter and representative of the “First Budget” campaign, I will be asking presidential candidates who comes to Jasper County what he or she plans to do to address our federal debt. We need candidates who are committed to bold, bipartisan solutions. Also, we shouldn’t be interested, let alone impressed, by the same old ‘shame and blame’ partisan approach to the issue.

The federal debt is a large and complex problem, and only plans that both increase revenue and reform spending will be viable. So we will urge candidates to focus on national priorities rather than narrow, partisan talking points.

Bipartisan action is not a pipe dream. I know firsthand that solving our policy problems is best done when we work together as Iowans, rather than as Democrats or Republicans. Let’s ask all Presidential candidates to think seriously about the federal debt and to offer workable plans to get it under control. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, or independent, if you’d like to learn more and take action, visit www.firstbudget. org.

Politics served with profanity makes dinner hard to swallow DEAR ABBY: My sister-inlaw and her live-in boyfriend, “Bud,” get together with us for dinner and outings. We enjoy each other’s company, but over the last couple of years he has been making disparaging remarks on the subject of politics. We do not belong to the same political party, and his remarks make our blood boil.

Bud knows we belong to the other party, but continues his barrage peppered with profanity. It’s impossible to have an intelligent debate with him before the cursing starts spewing out. A difference of opinion is tolerated, but when it’s laced with profanity it becomes hard to swallow. My husband feels the same way.

I would tell Bud to head south as far as he can go, were it not for my sister-in-law’s feelings.

(She’s pretty close to my husband.) I thought it better not to say anything during these dressing-downs, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep my mouth shut without blasting him. How should I handle this? — READY TO BLOW IN IDAHO DEAR READY TO BLOW: You and your husband should pick up the phone and call your sisterin-law. Tell her that as much as you love her and Bud, the political discussions have gotten out of hand, and therefore, there will be NO MORE discussions about politics when you get together.

Period. If Bud starts in, your husband should not take the bait. You are both to say, “We’ll never agree on this, so let’s change the subject.”

DEAR ABBY: After 12 years of marriage, my husband and I finally have our first child, a lit-

tle girl. Yes, I was very happy to have a child on the way, but I was also very depressed. My OB/GYN had to put me on anti-depression medication for it. I felt that only family should know and, while I was pregnant, my husband went along with it.

But now, if someone asks about my pregnancy or jokes about us having a second child, he will tell them he’s not sure because during my pregnancy I was depressed.

When I ask him please not to tell people about it, he says, “Why not?

You have nothing to be ashamed of.” How can I get him to understand that for me, it’s not about shame but PRIVACY? — NEW MOM IN LOUISIANA DEAR NEW MOM: While I agree that depression is nothing to be ashamed of, I also agree with you that some things should be kept private — and your medical history is one of them. Perhaps your husband would understand if you analogize it with a man using Viagra. While he might use the little blue pill with abandon, many men would prefer folks to assume they didn’t need the pharmaceutical assistance.

Court dismisses Iowa Juvenile Home lawsuit IOWA CITY — The Iowa Supreme Court is dismissing a lawsuit that challenged Gov. Terry Branstad’s decision to close the Iowa Juvenile Home last year.

The court ruled Friday the lawsuit brought by Democratic lawmakers and a labor union leader was now moot because the Legislature is no longer appropriating money to operate the home. The court’s decision vacates a temporary injunction entered by a district judge last year ordering the home to be reopened.

Runoff into Raccoon River causes E. coli spike at lake DES MOINES — Officials have closed a Des Moines lake to swimming after water samples showed high levels of E. coli. Workers posted signs Thursday at the Gray’s Lake beach after testing showed E. coli levels four times above the safe beach threshold set the by Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The spike in E. coli levels was due to runoff into the Raccoon River, which feeds the lake.

Stainless steel artwork delivered to Marshalltown MARSHALLTOWN — A 34-foottall stainless steel artwork will soon stand in Marshalltown.

Workers on Wednesday delivered the shiny pieces of steel to a site on North 13th Street.

It will be set up in the next few days in a green space, making it the first public art project organized by the Marshalltown Public Art Committee.

The exact timing depends on welding and electrical work and the construction of a small concrete platform.

Body found in burning car at Dubuque airport

5

DUBUQUE — Authorities say emergency crews found a body in a burning car on property owned by the Dubuque Regional Airport.

Dubuque firefighters responded to a report of a burning car about 6 a.m.

Thursday and found the body in the vehicle’s passenger compartment. The body was taken to the Iowa Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy and identification.

Investigators think they know the identity of the body but want confirmation.

Plant’s resurgence raises concern at East Lake Okoboji OKOBOJI — Authorities say they have few options to control the resurgence of an invasive plant that may return next year in one of Iowa’s Great lakes. The curly-leaf pondweed competes with native plants and can interfere with recreational activities.

This year the weed had its largest boom in more than 30 years at East Lake Okoboji, but authorities say it is expected to die out late next month or in early July.

Planned pipeline needs OK from many North Dakota landowners The Associated Press MANDAN, N.D. — A Texas company that already has obtained shipping commitments from oil companies to build a 1,100-mile pipeline from western North Dakota to Illinois is having a tougher time getting permission from North Dakota landowners.

Chuck Frey, vice president of engineering for Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners LP, told the state’s Public Service

Commission on Thursday that subsidiary Dakota Access LLC only has acquired 56 percent of the easements needed despite wanting to begin construction on the $3.8 billion project this year.

“Our goal is to reach voluntary agreement with all landowners,” Frey told the three-member panel that oversees a slew of public interests, from pipelines to grain elevators. He said the company “would be forced to use the eminent domain process” if agreements can’t be reached.

Zachary Pelham, a lawyer working for the Public Service Commission, said the panel has had complaints from some landowners that the company had used “strong-arm tactics” and “some even felt threatened” if they refused to sign off on easements.

Frey told the panel that he was aware of the allegations and that the company has established a toll-free telephone number to report any concerns.

announced the Dakota Access pipeline last year only days after Gov. Jack Dalrymple urged industry and government officials to build more pipelines to keep pace with North Dakota’s oil production, saying it will reduce truck and oil train traffic, curb natural gas flaring and create more markets for the state’s oil and gas.

North Dakota Pipeline Authority Director Justin Kringstad said the project, if approved, would be the largest-capacity

pipeline for the state’s crude to date — moving 450,000 barrels daily though South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, where shippers can access Midwest and Gulf Coast markets.

The company still needs to obtain federal and other states’ permits but plans to have the pipeline in service late next year.

Almost 360 miles of the pipeline would pass through North Dakota at a cost of about $1.4 billion, the company said.

Local & State News Council

Continued from Page 1A build a partnership between the city and owner/managers of rental properties to reduce criminal activity in apartment communities and in smaller rental units such as single-family structures, duplexes and four-plexes. It also incorporates compliance and enforcement of fire, building and nuisance codes to ensure the overall safety and well-being of tenants.

The program will utilize three phases including management training, security survey and community awareness training. The training is mandatory for all residential rental property owner and managers.

They will have to attend management raining and utilize and enforce the Crime-Free Multi-Housing lease and lease addendum as well as perform criminal background check on all current or perspective tenants.

Management Training The first phase has property managers or owners attending training sessions facilitated by the police department, fire department and planning and zoning. The training will cover a wide range of topics including active property management,

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | May 29, 2015

crime prevention through environmental design, municipal fire and building codes, nuisance ordinances as well as other state and local laws that affect landlords and tenants.

Security Survey The second phase will bring the police to the property for an environmental design survey.

The survey outlines steps that a property owner or manager needs to take in order to make the property less prone to criminal activity and may include inspections by the fire department, planning and zoning and public works to ensure compliance with city safety codes.

Community Awareness Training The final phase will bring the police department and property managers together for an active community awareness discussion. If an organized informational meeting cannot occur or tenants are unable to attend, educational materials and the contact numbers for city department liaisons will be provided to tenants.

The program is slated to start July 1 with residential rental properties with more than 20 units. The following year those with 8 to 20 unites will be covered and last units with eight or less will go through training.

Jason Brooks/Daily News As a part of the new Crime-Free Housing Program, all owners and managers of rental properties will be required to attend training that is designed to help lower criminal activity and build a stronger partnership between the city and owners and managers.

It is hoped that the training will provide education to the landlords on how to be compliant to the program along with the Minimum Housing Rental Code.

In other business, the council will consider increasing sanitary sewer rates by 5 percent.

The last rate increase was in 2012 and in order to keep up with increased operation costs and avoid a large future rate

increase, the increase has been suggested.

Also on the agenda is the Enhanced Newton Housing Initiative which will put in motion a “grant program” with the Newton Housing Development Corporation for the construction of new homes to “prime the pump” for homes starts.

Along with the first housing resolution, an additional resolution approving the Indepen-

dent Contracting/Consulting Agreement, Newton Housing Initiative with the NHDC takes the grant to the NHDC and uses it to purchase property and contract with builders and developers to build six new homes in Fairmeadow North Subdivision.

in the midst of a major growth mode.

The ample supply of hogs in the region was one of the key reasons the two companies cited for picking Sioux City for the plant, which will employ 1,100 initially.

Many of the hog producers who own Triumph Foods have farms in proximity to the Sioux City site, Triumph Foods CEO Mark Campbell said.

The St. Joseph, Missouri-based company’s largest shareholder, Christensen Farms, manages more than 50

sow herds and 400 nurseries and grow and finish sites in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois and Colorado.

Seaboard Foods, a division of publicly traded Seaboard Corp., also is a large integrated pork company, with 300 farms in Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas that annually produce more than 4 million hogs.

Starting with a single shift, the Sioux City plant would have the capacity to slaughter 3 million hogs per year, or 10,000 to 12,000 per day.

SIOUX CITY — Ken Gard’s 50-year history of marketing hogs in Sioux City ended — at least temporarily — with the closing of the John Morrell plant in April 2010.

“We used to sell to the stockyards. We were one of the last customers to leave there,” said Gard, who farms just east of Sioux City. “We sold to Morrell until they closed, and then we went elsewhere. You have to adapt.”

A much-ballyhooed project recently unveiled

will give tri-state hog producers like Gard a chance to again bring market hogs to Sioux City, the Sioux City Journal (http://bit. ly/1QcWeul ) reported.

Seaboard Foods and Triumph Foods have formed a joint venture to build a $264 million pork plant in the city’s Bridgeport West Industrial Park.

Pork producers and commodities experts cheered the news, saying the plant will bring a new competitor and added slaughter capacity to an industry that’s

Knoxville knocks NHS boys out of soccer postseason

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Play Our Game

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Abby Jolivette tees off during Tuesday’s Iowa Class 4A regional tournament at Newton’s Westwood Golf Course.

Jolivette and the Cardinals claimed their second straight 4A regional championship earning a third consecutive 4A state tournament berth. Newton plays in the 2015 Class 4A state golf tournament Monday and Tuesday in Marshalltown.

Cardinal girls ready for 4A state golf tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Winning their second straight Iowa Class 4A Regional Golf Championship at home Tuesday, Newton High’s Cardinal girls earned the team’s third consecutive trip to the Iowa Class 4A State Golf Tournament.

The Cardinals have strong leadership going into

the 4A state meet Monday and Tuesday at the American Legion Golf Course in Marshalltown. Senior Shelbey Cochran and junior Jessica Reynolds will be competing in their third state tournament for Newton. Junior Cydney Hillyard tees off in her second straight state meet.

Joining those three are first-time state qualifiers

Abby Jolivette, a senior, and juniors Emily Fitzgerald and Jessie Smith.

Newton’s golfers are familiar with Marshalltown’s American Legion Golf Course. The Cardinals played it pretty well a month ago, taking second in the small-school division of the Linda Bloom Invitational. They shot a 369 for 18-holes.

State is a two-day, 36hole event. Golfers tee off at 9 a.m. each day. Newton is one of eight full teams qualified for the tournament. Other teams are Washington, Humboldt, Wahlert, Western Dubuque, Adel-DeSoto-Minburn, Fairfield and Storm Lake.

Another state track title for Newton

KNOXVILLE — For 65 minutes in the rain, Newton High’s Cardinals and the Knoxville Panthers worked back and forth on the Knoxville soccer field. It was scoreless during that span of Thursday night’s Class 2A Substate 7 semifinal.

“We got punished for one mistake.

We didn’t clear the ball off their corner kick and got caught watching the ball,” said Sackda Viravong, Newton head coach. “They were quicker to head in the ball and that’s the game.”

The Panthers used a header off a corner kick at the 25-minute mark of the second half to score the only goal of the contest. Knoxville (12-4) won 1-0 to advance to the Saturday’s substate championship game at Norwalk.

“I’m disappointed to end our season in this way, especially for our seniors,” Viravong said. “Overall, we had a wonderful season, both high (beating Southeast Polk) and low (losing to Nevada in a shootout). I was happy and satisfied with the way we fought for everything on the field.

Our players gave it their all.”

Against Knoxville, Viravong said the Cardinals had many opportunities to score in the first half, but could find the net.

Newton had 10 shots on goal for the game and had seven corner-kick opportunities. Grant Davidson had six saves in goal for the Cardinals.

“In the game of soccer, sometimes you need a little luck to change the momentum. Unfortunately, we could find it, so our inability to score came back to bit us,” Viravong said. “We lost many shootout games and we couldn’t mentally escape it.”

Newton finished at 9-10.

Tigerhawk softball gets in win column after rout

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo softball coach Bryan Poulter expects the top of his lineup to be very productive this season.

There is a good blend of speed and power with all four hitters, and the group collectively had eight of the Tigerhawks’ 11 hits Thursday during a 10-0, five-inning victory over Grand View Christian.

Lead-off hitter Ries Wilson had three hits, three runs and produced two RBIs thanks to her first career home run.

Amy Russell also had two hits, two runs and an RBI and Rhiannon Haley collected two hits and two RBIs one day after homering in a loss TIGERHAWKS | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Ries Wilson (8) is greeted by her teammates after hitting her first career home run in the third inning of a 10-run, five-inning win over Grand View Christian on Thursday. Wilson had three hits, three runs and two RBIs on the night.

Newton Daily A state track meet News here in Iowa, or in my Sports Editor native state of Kansas, is a tremendous event to experience.

You take pride in how hard each one worked to qualify for the state meet and appreciate the winners and the ones who finish the race at the end. They finish what they started and never give up.

Our area saw three state champions crowned — Newton High’s seniors Sarah Kalkhoff in 4A discus and Deonne Harris in 4A 110-meter high hurdles and Prairie City-Monroe senior Rachel Peter in 2A 1,500-meter run. There were a couple of heartbreaking races on the final day of races for Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s boys in the shuttle hurdle relay and in the 2A 110-meter high hurdles.

NASCAR penalizes 3 teams for penalties at Coca-Cola 600 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR penalized three teams Wednesday for infractions at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Matt McCall, crew chief for Jamie McMurray, was placed on probation through Dec. 31 for a P2 penalty because the right rear quarter panel wheel opening had been modified after qualifying inspection for the Coca-Cola 600.

Jimmie Johnson’s team received a P1 penalty for receiving a written warning for the second consecutive race. As penalty, he’ll have one of the last two picks for a pit stall this weekend at Dover.

The team was cited for modifying a side skirt during the All-Star race, then for needing too many times to pass pre-qualifying inspection before the 600.

Justin Allgaier’s team also received a P1 penalty for a second consecutive written warning for needing too many times to pass pre-qualifying inspection. He’ll pick with Johnson for pit stall at Dover.

Tigerhawks: Eight-run third inning propels C-M softball to win Continued from Page 1B to Greene County.

“I really think the first five or six hitters can be very effective for us,” Poulter said. “The top four will drive a lot of balls, and they’ll have a lot of doubles. They all seem to square balls up pretty well. There isn’t a lot of soft-contact swings. I think they’ll be a good combination, and when the year is over, I think they’ll each have quite a few home runs.”

Wilson crushed her first career home run during an eightrun third inning. She was on base in all three of her at-bats and hopes a productive day will get her offense on track.

“I knew coming into the game that I needed to pick up my hitting because I hadn’t done as well in the first two games. I have set a few offensive goals this year and I thought if I got off to a good start that it would help.

“Hitting the home run and seeing my teammates at homeplate ready to celebrate was really exciting.”

Wilson’s home run came on the first pitch she saw from Thunder senior Kaylee Wittington. Wilson knows from her days of pitching that the first pitch is often times the best pitch a batter will see during an at-bat.

And the home run left no doubt as she cleared the fence in left-center field by several feet.

“Since I have pitched before, I know that it’s their goal to get ahead in the count so nor-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo sophomore Amy Russell got her first win in the circle Thursday after allowing no runs and five hits in four innings against Grand View Christian. The Tigerhawks won the game 10-0 in five innings.

mally the first pitch is the best pitch you’ll see,” Wilson said.

“I wasn’t sure it was going to be gone. I had one of those last night that I thought was going to go over but it ended up a few feet in front of the fence.”

The big third inning helped the Tigerhawks get into the win column for the first time this year.

And that was more than enough support for Russell, who allowed only five hits and

fanned four in four innings of work.

Russell, who has been pitching with a blister on her finger of her throwing hand, pitched out of jams in the second and third innings to keep the Thunder (0-2) scoreless and winless on the year.

Eighth-grader Colbee Cunningham threw the fifth and final frame and didn’t allow a base runner.

“I think it plays well for us in

a few different angles. It takes some of that pressure off of getting that first win,” Poulter said. “It also assures them that they can do this and that they are a good team. I think they’ll build off it and not press as much moving forward.”

The Tigerhawks broke the scoreboard just two batters into the game. Wilson led off with a single and then scored on Russell’s double that went over the head of Thunder left fielder Mack Frey. Brooke Nicholson then plated Russell with a two-out RBI single to left.

Wilson led off the third with a hard single to left then took third on another hit by Russell.

Haley brought both runners home with a two-run double.

Chelsea Russell and Aranda Woods each had run-scoring hits in the frame before Wilson capped the scoring with two her two-run shot.

Notebook The Tigerhawks’ started the new year 0-2 but both losses came to teams that were top-three placewinners at last year’s state tournament. Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont was the runner-up in Class 2A last year, while Greene County took third in 3A. ... Colfax-Mingo will try to get win No. 2 on Friday when they travel to South Hamilton for a 7:30 p.m. first pitch. The Tigerhawks return home at 7:30 p.m. Monday to face Prairie City-Monroe.

PCM baseball, softball struggle against rival Rams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEFFERON — The Prairie City-Monroe baseball and softball teams traveled to Greene County on Thursday for make-up games against the Rams.

And both returned home with losses and neither were

able to cross homeplate.

The PCM softball team (11) lost 2-0, while the baseball team was no hit in a 10-0 loss in six innings.

Molly Vignovich and MaKenna Van Veen each had a hit for the Mustang softball team and Kayla Jennings took the loss in the circle.

On the baseball diamond,

Chicago Bulls fire coach Tom Thibodeau, cite lack of trust CHICAGO (AP) — In five seasons under Tom Thibodeau, the Chicago Bulls soared to heights they had not reached since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were collecting championships.

They never got to the top with him and now he is out.

The Bulls fired Thibodeau on Thursday, parting ways with the strong-willed coach who took the team to the playoffs in each of his five seasons only to have his success overshadowed by his strained relationship with the front office.

“It is our strong belief that there needs to be a culture of communication that builds a trust throughout this organization from the players to the coaches to the management and to the front office, a culture where everyone is pulling in the same direction,” general manager Gar Forman said.

“When that culture is sacrificed, it becomes extremely difficult to evolve and to grow.”

Thibodeau went 255-139, a .647 winning percentage that ranks seventh in NBA history among coaches with at least 200 games. He led the Bulls to the top seed in the playoffs his first two seasons and was the NBA’s Coach of the Year in 2011, the same year Derrick Rose became the league’s youngest MVP. He thanked Chicago fans, his players, staff and their families “who have honored me and the Bulls by their effort, love, dedication and professionalism.”

“We are proud of our many accomplishments, fought through adversity, and tried to give our fans the full commitment to excellence they deserve,” Thibodeau said in a statement. “I love this game and am excited about what’s ahead

for me with USA Basketball and the next coaching opportunity in the NBA.” Chicago advanced to the Eastern Conference finals that season, but it’s the only time the Bulls made it past the second round under Thibodeau, who had two years left on his contract. Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, who has not returned to work full-time following open heart surgery in April, is widely viewed as a top candidate to replace him.

The move comes two weeks after the Bulls were eliminated by Cleveland with a listless effort in Game 6 of the East semifinals that came on the heels of an injury-filled 50-win season.

Forman said the Bulls spent the past week or so conducting exit interviews with players and organizational meetings. He insisted management was not holding out for compensation for Thibodeau and would have granted teams permission to talk to him had had they asked — but none did.

Either way, the gulf between the coach and his bosses was too large to bridge.

Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf made that clear in a long, scathing statement that said the organization has succeeded in part because of “a willingness to participate in a free flow of information” and that “internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private.”

Vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said: “You should be able to push the envelope in terms of anything in order to have some success. That’s what relationships should be about. Obviously, there was a breakdown.”

the Mustangs (1-1) could not muster a hit in the loss to the Rams.

Jerod DeVries and Connor Warrick each walked once.

Tyler Townsend took the loss in the circle, but he only allowed one earned run in four innings. Townsend walked one and hit two.

Both PCM squads travel to

Roland-Story on Friday for a pair of Heart of Iowa Conference games.

The Mustangs travel to Colfax-Mingo for HOIC games against the Tigerhawks at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Cardinals: Newton girls’ state mindset is it is ‘just another round of golf’ Continued from Page 1B “We’re approaching the state tournament like it is just another regular tournament,” Reynolds said. “I like that course (American Legion) a lot and it is fun to play. We had one our best scores there earlier, so it allows us to take some confidence into the state meet.

“You want to hit straight shots on that course. We’re going out to play our game — individually and as a team.”

Reynolds, who led the Cardinals to a third-place finish at the 2014 4A state tournament, is Newton’s top golfer for the season. She placed eighth as an individual a year ago at the state. Reynolds leads Newton in combined average over nine-hole and 18-hole tournaments with a 44.75. That is fifth best among 4A golfers.

Cochran, who won an individual 4A regional championship in 2014 and finished tied for 31st at state a year ago, averages 50.41. Hillyard is second on the Newton team with a combined average of 48.12. Hillyard placed 37th at state last year.

Pressbox Continued from Page 1B title as Kemp flew past me with a couple hurdles to go, but it wasn’t to be. Kemp lost another photo finish in the high hurdle final. That was tough.

Then there was Peter’s impressive win in the 1,500. She paced herself and ran her race, taking the lead with a lap and a half remaining. No one came after her to challenge the lead and a championship was won.

Going into the state meet, we who covered Kalkhoff and Harris expected them to win from what they had done throughout the regular season.

They did not disappoint.

I wasn’t disappointed in any of the performances by our area athletes from Newton, Lynnville-Sully, CMB, PCM or Colfax-Mingo. They were all competitive and that’s what we want to see from our young athletes.

Anyone attending the state track meet, witnessed impressive performances in the field

Cochran

“Winning the regional at home was a lot of fun. It’s what I wanted all season or the team. We were working hard for it,” Cochran said.

“I’m excited to go back to state my senior year. I hope to finish it off well at state.”

For Hillyard, it is about doing better than she did at the 2014 state tournament.

“I struggled last year and my team carried me. I’m hoping this year I can help them out more,” Hillyard said. “I’m more comfortable going into this state. I played the Marshalltown course pretty well earlier this year.”

Jolivette said it was exciting to win a regional championship as a team.

able to go to state, so I’m really excited I get the opportunity to play at state as a senior,” Jolivette said. “I worked hard over the offseason, and I’ve seen my shot go farther this year and I’ve developed more consistency in my game as a whole.”

Smith admitted she was a little nervous heading into the state tournament for the first time.

“I think if I just go out and play my game on this course, I’ll be alright,” Smith said. “It felt good to win the regional championship. After losing all the good seniors we did from last year, it was special we were able to come back and win it again.”

“I’m very nervous, but more excited about the experience. I just want to play my best. We focus on taking one shot at a time and one hole at a time,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m looking to shoot my best score to help the team do well.”

Cochran and Reynolds said golf varies each time out and golfers have to understand not to worry about a bad shot or a bad hole.

“We all started off pretty rough at the regional Tuesday, but fought back. We really wanted to be at state as did ADM,” Reynolds said.

“It takes all of us playing our best on that day to do well as a team.”

Cochran has struggled to find her consistency this season, but has come on strong

down the stretch of the season. She said it comes down to her not liking to give up.

“Every hole is a new hole.

You have to leave a bad shot or a bad hole behind and keep fighting,” Cochran said.

“That’s what I do, plus I hope my teammates are doing well.

That fuels my fire to keep battling to the end.”

Newton head coach Scott Enyart said he was confident in his team going into the state tournament. He said Washington is the oddson favorite to win the team championship.

“Then it is a battle for second through sixth place. We’ll be in it, if we go out and play our game. We’re treating it as just another round of golf, another tournament,” Enyart said. “I’m proud of our girls and what they’ve done this season.

We’ve played against some top caliber teams and done well.”

Both the Class 4A and Class 3A state tournament are being held at American Legion Golf Course.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — A 16-hit attack ripped through Pella Lady Dutch pitching to lift Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks to a 12-2 win in five innings Thursday. The Hawks improved to 3-0 on the season in front of a home crowd.

Shelby Davis was 2-for-3 with a home run and a single. She drove in two runs and had a stolen base. Brenna Lanser hit a solo home run and so it went for the Hawks.

Lynnville-Sully struck for four runs in the bottom of the first inning and never allowed the Lady Dutch to get into the game. The Hawks had single runs in the second and third to lead 6-0 before Pella scored twice in the top of the fifth inning.

The Hawks responded by closing the door for a run-rule shortened game in their half of the fifth. Lynnville-Sully plated six runs to

win by 10.

Madison Rasmusson held the Lady Dutch to four hits through five innings of work.

She struck out four batters.

Rasmusson connected for a triple and single, driving in two runs. Lizzy Van Manen went 3-for-3 with two doubles and a single.

Kasiah Ehresman hit three singles and stole two bases.

Lysandra James had two singles while Maria Rasmusson doubled. Haley James and Kristin VanderWilt each had an RBI single. Shelby Foster and Makenzy Rozendaal scored a run apiece as pinch runners.

The Hawks take a 2-0 South Iowa Cedar League mark into Friday’s game against English Valleys at North English. They play in a tournament at North Polk Saturday.

Berg Middle School girls’ track has successful 2015 season

Submitted photo Newton’s Berg Middle School girls’ track team won the Saydel track meet, the seventh-grade Oskaloosa track meet and the seventh-grade middle school state track meet. It set four new school records during the 2015 season.

Bowditch shoots 62, leaving Spieth seven shots back at Nelson IRVING, Texas (AP) — Steven Bowditch considers the AT&T Byron Nelson his home tournament — just maybe not to the extent Jordan Spieth does.

The Australian matched his low round on the PGA Tour with an 8-under 62 on Thursday to take a two-shot lead over another Texan, Jimmy Walker. Spieth was seven shots back in his first round as Masters champion in the event that gave the Dallas player his start as a 16-year-old amateur in 2010.

Bowditch, who moved to the Dallas area 10 years ago, has made the cut just once at the Nelson — in his debut in 2011, when he tied for 60th after a third-round 80. He didn’t make it to the weekend each of the past three years at TPC Four Seasons.

The 31-year-old missed the cut last week at Colonial in Fort Worth, which is a little farther from his home in the suburb of Flower Mound and he says doesn’t have quite the “hometown” draw as the Nelson for Bowditch’s

family and friends.

The Nelson had the hometown feel for Spieth the moment he stepped to the 10th tee as a high school junior five years ago, when he tied for 16th as the sixth-youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour event. He returned as a rising star after his win at Augusta, frequently tipping his cap to large galleries that even cheered as he walked onto greens.

James Hahn and Dallas resident Ryan Palmer shared third at 65, and

2011 Nelson champion Keegan Bradley was in the group 66. Danny Lee aced the par-3 17th with a 5-iron from 190 yards and was tied for ninth at 67.

Defending champion Brendon Todd, playing a group ahead of Spieth, had just one birdie and shot 72.

Bowditch made three putts of 24 feet or longer while shooting a 30 on the front nine and had the last of eight birdies in a bogey-free round with a 6-foot putt after a long bunker shot at the par-5 16th.

The second difficult square of the week features Mercury in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces.

People have a way of saying the exact thing that could most trigger deep unrest in another. They don’t even have to try. Countering this aspect is the peaceful Libra moon. When you feel your fist clenching, tap into the Libra moon and let it go.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 29). Your world will grow, but don’t worry -- your influence will, too. New projects beckon you in June. Apply what you learned (to prove that you learned it), and you’ll have a round of beginner’s luck. Making money inspires you to make

more in July. September brings sparkling new relationships and peace to those who were ailing.

Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 49, 3, 21 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Maybe you feel like you’ve let yourself down recently, but the cause of underperformance may well be a lack of self-love.

How could you better appreciate yourself? Give yourself attention because you need it to thrive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You know that area you’re weak in? Well, guess what.

You’re not really weak in that

area at all -- you’re just inexperienced. Get more practice, and you’ll grow rapidly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your entire being cannot be captured in one snapshot. For this reason, you don’t have to worry about how you’re viewed by others. Most people only see a very small part of you anyhow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Befriend time. Settle into the belief that everything is happening in the moment that it should. Rushing or pushing, even if you are running late, will not get you where you’re supposed to be any faster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel like you’re being pun-

ished, and probably the disciplinarian is a voice inside your head. Try not to think of things in terms of bad or good. So you made a choice that didn’t work.

Choose again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You are drawn to objects that help you appreciate time’s natural process. Such objects are records of the sun, wind, rain, temperature and human wear.

They remind you of the fragility and the strength inside you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a honed aesthetic. You don’t follow the conventions of good taste, even though you know what those conventions are. The irregularity that happens by chance or accident will be especially beautiful to you.

The City of Newton is currently accepting applications for the position of Firefighter/EMT. Requirement to apply: Iowa EMT-Basic Certification or Nationally Registered EMT-Basic. Firefighter I and EMT-Paramedic preferred. The department will require Paramedic (EMT-P) and Haz Mat Technician level certification within two years of appointment. The hiring process may include, but is not limited to, a written exam, physical ability test, an oral interview and a background investigation. Excellent pay and benefit package!

Application packets are available at: Newton Fire Department 410 S 2nd Ave W Newton, Iowa 50208 641-792-3347 Or online @ newtongov.org Applications must be returned to above address by 4:30pm on 06/19/15. EO/AA Employer SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You influence the people you believe in, perhaps without even trying to. You know they can accomplish great things, and your belief in them helps to make this come true.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your acts of caring do not only affect the people and animals close to you. They are part of what brings your whole community closer. You’ll never know how you’ve contributed to the world by making one person happy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Follow through in full confidence. You are capable, efficient and effective. Believe and act on what you believe.

You’ll be on sure footing every

step of the way. You’ve got this one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The work at hand will help you to develop your identity. So dive in, even if you suspect the job is not a perfect fit for you.

You’ll learn about yourself in the process, and that’s what’s important.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Is it love or not? To determine this, it might help you to think of love as an action, not a feeling. When you do, it suddenly will be obvious who loves whom.
