County engineer to present items to supervisors

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

In a relatively light agenda for the Jasper County Board of Supervisors, Jasper County Engineer Russ Stutt will, for the second week in a row, sub-mit a number of items for approval to the board on Tuesday.

Stutt will be asking the board to grant approval for the county to re-ceive a Highway Safety Improvement Program grant from the Iowa Depart-ment of Transportation. If approved, the grant would reimburse the coun-ty 90 percent of costs or $231,165, whichever amount is less, for doing HSIP related projects to county high-ways.

The remaining 10 percent of funds would be paid for by funds from IDOT’s Traffic Safety Improvement program.

Under the stipulations of the grant, and if approved, the county would have to repaint pavement markers and center lines on 36.5 miles of five specified roads in Jasper County with High Build Waterborne paint.

Area school staff receives

ALICE trainingSpecial to the Daily News

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and the Newton Police Department recently completed a school safety and security program, with school districts and staff within Jasper County.

The cooperative effort between law enforcement and school administra-tion officials resulted in more than 800 staff receiving additional training and information in response to active shooter incidents. The training was based upon the nationally recognized Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate course developed in Texas.

The training course consisted of lecture, PowerPoint, video and scenar-io-based situations. Law enforcement officers, certified as ALICE instruc-tors, led the training sessions. The project also allowed law enforcement and school administration officials to work on uniform emergency response plans concerning any type of incidents

Mustang Grannies ball for a causeBy Mike MendenhallDaily News Staff Writer

The theatrical exhibi-tion game Friday night between the Mustang Grannies and the Glo-betrotters, a team com-prised of Newton area professionals, raised $1,063 for the New-ton YMCA Scholarship Fund, according to New-ton YMCA Membership Director Jessica Lowe.

Homemade pies made by members of the Mustang Grannies were auctioned to spectators.

Mustang Grannies’ team captain Barb Dyk-stra of Monroe said join-ing the state-wide league is a way for Jasper Coun-ty players to contribute to the senior community.

“It’s more than just exercise. The team has jelled together so well, and there is such a sense of camaraderie. I’ve just never had so much fun in my life. I love playing granny basketball.”

Almost 200 turn out for Richardson Run

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

The Richardson Run Memorial 5K at-tracted runners from near and far on Sat-urday to pay tribute to Pat Richardson, the former Newton Police Department lieuten-ant and avid runner who died suddenly last year.

Deby Mullen and her family came from Blaine, Minn., to participate in the run that many NPD officers said they are hoping be-comes an annual event.

“We’re actually neighbors with Chris and Jordan Hoff (Pat’s son-in-law and daugh-ter) so we came because, well, they’re our neighbors,” Deby said. “Jordan’s parents used to come and visit Jordan, and we would see them every once a while, and when Jordan’s dad died, it really hit home for us.

“We came to support Jordan. The kids said they wanted to run, so we said, ‘Let’s go,’

Local OpinionPage 4A Monday, May 12, 2014

4AOpinion

The month of May might best be de-scribed as a busy month. Farmers are franti-cally tilling the soil, trying to make up for a wet spring with monstrous machinery I don’t even recognize, and town-folk are busy scratching the surface of their lawns and gar-dens, both farmer and townie thankful that warm weather is here at last. I smelled the lilacs this morning, which means mushrooms are a popping.

May is also a month of plentiful events. The month starts off with a warm-up, May 1, May Day — little kids (and adults) scamper-ing around the neigh-borhood, leaving May Baskets on door steps, ringing door bells and scurrying away, leav-ing gifts of surprise and sweetness, like spring itself — dance around the May Pole! Star Wars enthusiasts then runaround saying, “May the Fourth be with you.” Cinco de Mayo follows, with its colorful parades, celebrations and fireworks. Mother’s Day is a big one, the celebration of she who bore us, and of earth itself (Mother Earth). Of course, there’s Memorial Day, the first Monday (long weekend) holiday of the year, a warm-up to summer and an opportunity to memorialize those we love. Sprinkled within May, like daffodils and dandelions, are out-door graduations and alumni banquets (with alternate indoor facilities on reserve).

For me, the month started off dysfunc-tional. Taking pictures of bees on crab-apple blossoms, chipmunks looking like old men with their cheeks stuffed full, and fat robins gorging themselves on worms after a rain, I noticed my photos were dark, or under-exposed. Rats. I like to use aperture prior-ity, or the “A” setting on my Nikon, so that both the subject and background are in focus. If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s a blurry background, in life as well as photography. On some of the other settings, like “Auto,” the pictures were clear, but without the de-sired background clarity.

I fiddled with the menu settings, trying to find the problem, but to no avail. I took the camera to one of my camera buddies who also has a Nikon. This camera jock went through the menu settings, but couldn’t find anything wrong. Then his dreaded pronouncement that I feared was coming: the camera was broken and would have to be sent in for repair. Grr. I swung by the camera shop to (a) have them look at it or (b) have them send the camera in. Before I could even describe the problem, the guy at the counter chirped, “Your exposure compensation is off.” With the flick of a wrist, voila, he had the problem solved. Like a spring storm that suddenly changes to sunshine, my mood swung from gloom-and-doom to ela-tion. Springtime, here I come!

Then problem number two: my Kindle (digital book) crapped out. Rats! And I was right in the middle of a great book by Lorrie Moore. A communications-professor friend of mine had warned me about this: the av-erage life of the digital word is three years. The average life of a word on paper is 100 years. He predicts the eventual disappearance of the written word as the world goes digital. Yikes!

To salvage the morning, I took Buddy for a walk. Low-and-behold, what do I spy on the curb (it was spring clean-up in Mt. Pleasant): “David Copperfield” by Charles Dickens. I rushed home to turn its pages. Oh, the feel of paper, the eloquent prose, and honest-to-God pictures, in color! “Maybe I’ll try to get the complete works of Charles Dickens,” I told myself. “Never will I return to the digital book.”

Never say never.As if hearing, the Kindle sprang to life,

seeming to say, “Me, me, don’t forget me. I’ll be good.” Tell me that inanimate objects don’t talk.

Next month, June — the month of wed-dings, Father’s Day, Flag Day, the first day of summer. And Pentecost.

Beware (or welcome) the tongues of fire.

The First Amendment

Michael doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know my socio-economic status or where I grew up. He doesn’t know my marital status or how many kids I have. He doesn’t know my triumphs or my failures. Michael doesn’t know me. And I don’t know Michael. But Michael has changed my life.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my 2 0 - m o n t h -old to break-fast at my favorite diner. After the man sitting in the booth across from mine paid for his meal, he walked back toward my table holding a white receipt.

“I paid your bill.”“Thank you,” I said, the confu-

sion audible in my voice.“Do you know why I paid your

bill?” he asked.I shook my head.“Because you’re taking such

good care of that little boy.”My eyes welled as he handed

me the credit card receipt, proof of his payment, before walking out the door. And there was the stranger’s name: Michael.

I had read plenty of stories online about angels disguised as humans stepping up to financially assist someone in need. I’ve al-ways believed I would be the kind of person who would help if ever presented with the opportunity.

Michael’s unexpected gesture made me realize I had been wait-ing for the “right” moment to be generous when I should have been living generously all along. Clearly, this must be the lesson life was handing me in the form of free French toast. I became deter-

mined to pay it forward. ASAP!My first chance presented itself

at Starbucks. I stalked a guy study-ing drink options for 20 minutes. When he finally shuffled toward the cashier, I jumped in front of him, ordered my drink and offered to pay for whatever he was getting.

The stranger refused, clearly convinced his creepy stalker was trying to poison his drink.

“I insist,” I said, unwilling to lose this opportunity to do good. “Someone paid for my breakfast the other day, and I’m just paying it forward.”

“No means no!” he yelled.Perhaps paying for a stranger’s

coffee wasn’t the answer.I’m not one to make senti-

mental attachments to inanimate things, but I inexplicably had kept the receipt. Pulling it out of my wallet, my eyes welled again.

Why did this silly receipt make me cry? I didn’t understand the emotional reaction I was having to my free meal.

That is, until I allowed myself to admit the truth. It wasn’t the payment that had touched my heart; it was this stranger’s reason for doing so. “Because you’re tak-ing such good care of that little boy.”

Over breakfast, my son and I had gone through our typical daily routine. He threw crayons on the ground. I picked them up. He threw them again. I took them away. He cried. I made him promise not to throw them. He kept his word. And opted to eat the crayons instead. He wanted to walk around the diner. We did. He wanted to sit on my lap. He did. He slapped my face. I told him to “show Mommy gentle.” He pet-ted my cheek and gave me a kiss. We sang songs. And tickled. And giggled. He went in the highchair. And out of the highchair. And in and out again. And that’s where

my son was — sitting on my lap, picking at my meal — when Mi-chael came over. He had seen the whole thing. He had witnessed the cuddles and witnessed the scolding. And after all that, he told me I was doing a good job taking care of my little boy. And it made me cry because it was some-thing I needed to hear — some-thing probably every parent needs to hear.

After this realization, I be-gan seeing the world differently. I looked for the everyday hero in other people instead of trying to see the hero in myself.

When my son threw a tantrum, I noticed the people who smiled with knowing empathy rather than the nasty glares that I would have only noticed before, whether they had actually been there or not. I looked people in the eye more. Held the door open more. Smiled more. And when a neigh-bor I’d never met apologized pro-fusely after her toddler ran into my lawn and threw our ball into the street, I told her not to worry, because, I said, “It looks to me like you’re doing a good job raising the little boy.” And I meant it. And I noticed how her eyes welled when I said it.

I hope to someday thank Mi-chael for the gift he gave me. So much more than a meal, so much more than a compliment, Michael gave me the gift of sight. And if I ever have the opportunity to pay for his meal, I’ll try not to be a super-creepy stalker about it.

To the editor: On Saturday, April 26, was the most recent DEA

Drug Take-Back Initiative in Newton and Baxter. Thanks to the Newton Police Department, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office., Newton Fire Department and Baxter Fire/EMS, the day was a success.

The Newton location collected an all-time high with more than 150 pounds of medication. This was the first time Baxter participated in the program and

was able to gather approximately 25 pounds as well. These programs would not be possible and continue to grow without the support of the community. Pro-grams such as this take place nationwide to com-bat the abuse of prescription and over-the-counter medication and ensure eco-friendly disposal at the same time.

This is a semi-annual event with the next one scheduled for late September.

and made a family road trip, and here we are.”

Thanks to a slew a late registra-tions, NPD officials estimated that more than 170 runners participated, which was a lot more than they were expecting. Participants ranged from as young as Pat’s grandchildren, Lauren and Blake, who were being pushed in the stroller along the course, to men well past 70 years of age.

Nathan Unsworth, who was the overall winner of 5K with a time of 20:37, said he didn’t know Pat person-ally but felt this race was a great way to honor him.

“Just to support the police depart-ment, and being a fellow city worker, I wanted to support their department’s efforts today. It’s a beautiful day for a run, so it worked out great,” Unsworth said.

Dave Richardson, Pat’s son, is more known for his passion for bicycles, but he ran on Saturday to pay tribute to his dad.

“It was important. I needed it,” Dave, who finished the race with a time of 26 minutes and 13 seconds, said. “I’m not really a big runner, but my dad was. I’m pretty happy about the turnout.”

Stutt will also be seeking the board’s approval for two items that had been out for bid.

The first item is for the purchase of new culverts — the structure that allows water to flow under a road — and the low bid of $86,301.36 comes from Ankeny-based Contech Engineered Solutions.

For the second item, a new machine shed at the Secondary Roads Department’s Baxter loca-tion, only one of three bids was re-turned. Washington-based Greiner Buildings Inc. submitted a bit of $130,000.

In other business, Jasper County Recorder Nancy Parrott will sub-mit her office’s April report for ap-proval. According to the report, her office collected $18,274.37.

During the meeting, there will also be resolutions on the hiring of a new seasonal intern for the Jasper County Conservation Office and a fireworks permit for a Kellogg resi-dent.

incidents that might occur within the school systems.

“During the project, we received a tremen-dous amount of positive feedback,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty stated in a news release. “School staff members also added additional in-

put and suggestions that will improve safety and security at school build-ings.”

Halferty thanked sev-eral organizations for their assistance and par-ticipation in the project, including Baxter Com-munity School District, Colfax-Mingo Commu-nity School District, Lyn-nville-Sully Community School District, Newton Community School Dis-trict, Prairie City-Mon-roe Community School District, Baxter Police Department, Colfax Po-lice Department, Jasper

County Board of Super-visors, Newton Police Department, Prairie City Police Department and the Monroe Police De-partment.

“This project would not have been possible without the cooperation of these organizations,” Halferty stated. “Several hours of training time were dedicated to this project. The only cost to this projects was wages of law enforcement instruc-tors. Equipment utilized was also purchased by Jas-per County Sheriff ’s Of-fice and the Newton Po-

lice Department.”The Jasper County

Sheriff ’s Office also con-ducted ALICE training for county employees, courthouse staff and sev-eral private organizations. County employees par-ticipated in the training and additional emergency response plans were dis-cussed and implemented by county departments and offices.

Additional ALICE training will be available upon request. Anyone interested in the train-ing can contact the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

DEAR ABBY: I have been mar-ried for 18 years to a wonderful wom-an who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few years ago. We don’t know how much time she has left, but she feels the cancer has robbed her of her “retirement.” She is trying to persuade our family to move to Florida so she can enjoy some warm weather.

Abby, for many reasons I do not want to move. We have lived in the Midwest all our lives. My elderly parent would be all alone if we move, and I have a sibling who is also ter-minally ill.

I have had the same job for 25 years, and I don’t want to give it up because I have the freedom to do much of my work from home, which allows me to help my wife and have income as well. If we move, there would be no guarantee that I could find a similar work situation that is so beneficial.

My wife says I’m being selfish be-cause I’m unwilling to leave my job, family and friends to do as she wants. I understand her desire to live in a warmer climate, but I think she’s the one who is being selfish. What do you think? — WANTS TO STAY PUT

DEAR WANTS TO STAY PUT: I think the winter in the Midwest was brutal this year, and now the spring rains have arrived, which are also depressing. But in a short time the flowers will bloom and the warmth of summer and autumn will last for the next half-year.

Why not take a vacation (or leave) from your job for the next three or four weeks? If you telecommute, you could still get some work done and let your wife have her dose of sunshine. Surely someone can check on your

parent and keep you informed about your sibling for that short time. I do not recommend moving anywhere permanently because there’s no guar-antee you’d find a job that compen-sates you as well as the one you have, and you may need the income.

DEAR ABBY: A tall, attractive man came into the insurance office where I work to buy an auto insur-ance policy. I haven’t talked with men outside of my church in a long time, so I was nervous. I thought my heart would explode from beating so fast.

He will be coming back in a couple of weeks, and I’m afraid if I don’t ask him out, I will regret it. I don’t know how to approach him or ask a guy out at all. Help! — NERVOUS OUT WEST

DEAR NERVOUS: The man may be married, so take it slow. If he comes in before noon, casually men-tion there’s a restaurant not far away that serves good food and offer to show him. If he comes in later, use the old “want to grab a cup of cof-fee?” gambit. Either of these will give you a chance to talk with him and find out more about him without be-ing overly obvious.

Lori DeVries was the top finishing female runner; runners take off at the beginning of the run. More than 170 people participated in the run, which NPD officers are hoping becomes an annual event; Deby Mullen and her family traveled from Blaine, Minn. to participate in the run. Deby said they are neighbors of the Hoffs and had met Pat when he visited his daughter’s family, and they wanted to come down for support.

Dow inches to record as after long day Friday

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones in-dustrial average hit a record on Friday, but without much conviction after a choppy day of trading during which investors couldn’t make up their minds whether to buy or sell.

The blue-chip index flitted between small gains and losses at least a dozen times, and ended up beating its old record set last week by less than 2.5 points, or just 0.02 percent.

“The market is having trouble finding di-rection here,” said David Kelley, JPMorgan Funds’ chief global strategist. But he added, “I believe for the rest of the year, a warming economy ... will push the market up.”

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index also eked out a gain, but is no higher than it was in early March, after waffling between week-ly gains and losses most of that time.

On Friday, stocks fell broadly from the open as investors took in the latest corporate earnings reports. It was an odd day in which winners became losers, and vice versa.

Stocks of utilities have been in favor lately because of their stable earnings and fat divi-dends, but investors dumped them Friday, and they closed 1.4 percent lower. That was the biggest drop of the S&P 500’s ten sectors.

By contrast, a few big-name Internet stocks that had been crushed in a recent sell-off in that industry managed healthy gains.

Netflix announced it was raising prices for new subscribers of its streaming video service and investors cheered, lifting its stock 2 per-cent. Tesla Motors and LinkedIn, both down more than 10 percent since April, rose 2 per-cent and 2.5 percent, respectively.

The Dow edged up 32.37 points for the day, or 0.2 percent, to 16,583.34. That narrowly beat its previous record high of 16,580.84 set on April 30.

The S&P 500 index rose 2.85 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,878.48. The Nasdaq com-posite rose 20.37 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,071.87.

Mixed messages from earnings reports left investors without clear direction.

CBS fell $1.27, or 2 percent, to $56.74 after reporting late Thursday that its first-quarter revenue had fallen short of analysts’ projections. Sales from advertising slumped 12 percent.

Zach Johnson/Daily NewsLoren and Debra Simmons owners of Fresh Start E-cigs and Vapors hold a sign with the verse from Matthew 19:26, which is a message they give to their customers

New business offers fresh start

Fresh Start E-cigs & Va-por will have its official grand opening Tuesday with a rib-bon cutting. Fresh Start offers a service to help people quit smoking with a natural prod-uct.

“We’re trying to help people stop smoking by using E-Juice, which is a tool to assist them, Fresh Start Co-owner Debra Simmons. “Everybody is going to be a little bit different on how long it takes them to quit smoking.”

Debra and her husband Warren Simmons have had many friends die of cancer caused by tobacco, which in-spired them to open the store.

“We wanted to find a health-ier alternative that would help them quit tobacco,” Simmons said. “Our sign says, ‘4,000 chemicals in cigarettes,’ our product has three chemicals in them and is natural and organ-ic. We wanted to know what exactly was going into the juices, so we weren’t putting up a false front with not reading about the products. The key to quitting smoking by using e-cigs and vapors is lowering the nicotine level, which you can do through multiple steps. We just want to make sure our cus-tomers are very successful.

The history of the industry has changed over the years, but has become more about rela-tionship rather than products sold.

“For awhile, in this in-dustry, locations didn’t sell E-Juices that have zero nic-otine. The company has a strict 18-years-old and over policy with doing standard

driver license checks through-out the day,” Simmons said. “The business here is interest-ing because we’re here to build a relationship with those folks that currently smoke by giving them the resources needed to help stop smoking.”

The couple has had quite the history with learning the industry in Texas. It was with a calling from God that gave them the message to start the store.

“We started this two years ago because Loren lost his job and we moved to Texas,” Sim-mons said. “We recently moved back and decided to open the business.

The owners are Christians and have a message to their customers with two Biblical verses.

“Our business has two strong messages with Matthew 19:26, ‘But Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible but with God all things are possible.’ and First Philippians 4:13 ‘I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me,’” Simmons said.

Fresh Start ’s hours of op-eration are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Satuday.

Newton girls capture second at Cardinal Invitational; PCM is third

NEWTON — On one of the best days to play golf all spring, Newton’s girls hosted the Cardinal Invitational at Westwood Golf Course Friday. Ten teams, including three area ones, played some of their best individual games in the nine-hole event.

“It was a three team race, which I expected it to be,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “Our girls played very well after a good week of practices. We wanted to get back to the 180 mark or below. We did that.”

Newton’s Cardinals com-bined for a team 176. John-ston was just one stroke bet-ter on the day, working the Westwood back nine holes for a winning 175. Ankeny Centennial fi nished third at 182. Westwood’s back nine is a Par 35.

Prairie City-Monroe, led by the Van Veen sisters, fi n-ished fourth with a 213. Col-fax-Mingo’s Olivia Maggard and Skye Weber competed in the tournament also.

“I told Jessica Reynolds she’d be playing a in a fun group at the tournament,” Enyart said. “Two of the lead-ing golfers for the entire state

were playing here and Jessica played right with them.”

Top medalist honors went to Paige Van Dyk of South Tama, who leads the state with a 37 average for nine holes. Van Dyk won the Cardinal Invitational with a 1-under par 34 followed by Ankeny Centennial’s Karli Kerrigan with a 36. Kerrigan is fourth on that individual average list.

Allison Kretzinger led Johnston to the team title, placing third with a 38.

Newton’s Berg Middle School track teams competed in state meets Saturday. Newton hosted the 2014 middle school boys’ state track meet at H. A. Lynn Stadium. Newton’s girls traveled to Waukee for the 2014 middle school girls’ state meet.

Newton has one middle school state champion.

Jaise Gulling captured the gold medal in the seventh-grade large school division’s shot put with a throw of 30 feet, 8 1/4 inches. Ben Peterson took the silver medal at 29’10 3/4”.

Gulling also fi nished second in the discus with a distance of 94’4”. Matt Moran was third in the event at 80’10”. Moran placed in two races, taking fi fth in the 800-meter run in 2 min-utes, 29.42 seconds and fi fth in the 1,600-meter run in 5:21.36.

Josh Miller was third in the seventh-grade large school divi-sion’s 100-meter dash in 13.19 seconds. Miller ran sixth in the 200-meter dash in 28.68 seconds.

In the eighth-grade large school division, Newton’s Marlon Coleman captured second in the 100-meter hurdles in 13.22 sec-onds. Jack Callaghan placed third in the 400-meter dash in 55.44 seconds and sixth in the 100-me-ter dash in 12.41 seconds.

Djuanyel Denham placed

third in the shot put with a toss of 39’4 1/4” followed by New-ton teammate Jace Lukefahr in fourth at 38’ 1/2”. Lukefahr was 10th in the discus at 99’7”.

Nate Van Zee tied for fi fth in the high jump, clearing the bar at 5 feet. Callaghan was seventh

in the long jump with a leap of 17 feet.

Newton’s eighth graders placed seventh in both the sprint medley relay and the 4x100-me-ter relay.

The Newton seventh-grade boys fi nished fi fth as a team and the

eighth-grade boys were seventh.

FOR THE GIRLS at Wau-kee, Newton’s eighth-grade team fi nished eighth out of 26 teams and the seventh-grade team tied for 12th out of 21 teams. The girls’ state meet was cut short be-cause of severe weather threats.

In the eighth-grade division, the 100-meter shuttle hurdle foursome of Lane Dethrow, Liz McVey, Audrey Lucas and Mor-gan Eide captured the third-place medal in 1:15.65. Eide took sixth in the 100-meter hurdle race in 17.69 seconds.

NEVADA — Newton’s Cardinals won a shootout with Southeast Polk to reach the championship game of Saturday’s Nevada Boys Soccer Tournament. The Cardinals paid the price of a long contest against the Rams.

“Our kids were tired against Marshall-town. We didn’t have any energy left to play this game,” Newton head coach Sackda Vi-

ravong said. “Many of our players were nurs-ing injuries here and there, thus we were not fresh at all for the championship game.”

Marshalltown defeated Newton, 4-0, in the title game. Newton had worked through a full contest, tied 1-1, with Southeast Polk and then went into a second shootout ses-sion to win 2-1.

Ben Schuff/ Daily NewsNewton eighth-grader Jack Callaghan (second from left) runs in the 100-meter dash during Saturday’s middle school state track and fi eld meet at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Sta-dium. Callaghan placed sixth in the race with a time of 12.41 seconds.

Run at state

Reynolds tied her personal-best 9-hole average with a 41 for fourth place. Reynolds shot under her average of 44 on the back nine with three pars, one birdie and four bogies.

Also shooting under her season average was

Newton’s Carrie Cunningham with a 42, placing fi fth. Cunningham’s average is 45 for the season.

“That’s Carrie’s personal best. She hit the ball well and started with three straight pars,” Enyart said. “She’s worked on her chipping all week and it showed. Jessica parred No. 11, which is the trickiest hole on the course. Her birdie came on the Par 5

No. 16. She made a great chip shot.”Madigan Hillyard played a steady game, shoot-

ing right at her average, 46, for the Cardinals. Hill-yard parred No. 17 and No. 18 to close out her day on the course.

Also parring her fi nal hole — No. 17 — was Shelbey Cochran, fi nishing with a 47. Madeline Wellik also carded a 47 for Newton. Jessie Smith came in with a 56.

“Madeline missed our 18-hole tournament ear-lier this week because she had to take an AP test. She’s had a good week of practice which included a birdie on No. 14 and an eagle on the Par 5 No. 16,” Enyart said. “So, she’s getting her game back. Shelbey struggled with two holes on the day, but bounced back to play well on the next hole.”

Enyart said he was pleased with how the New-ton junior varsity, which fi nished fi fth out of the 10 teams, performed. Scores for the Cardinal junior varsity were: Cydney Hillyard, 50, Emily Fitzgerald, 54, Olivia Maharry, 55, Abby Jolivette, 56, Amber Sorenson, 59, Kaitlyn Sorensen, 60.

PCM’s Cassidy and Kelsey Van Veen shot right on their averages, fi nishing with a 45 and a 46, re-spectively. Breanna Maher carded a 56 and Abby Van Hofften had a 66.

Maggard completed the nine holes with a 50 for Colfax-Mingo. Weber shot a 79.

“The Van Veen sisters played really well for PCM and Colfax-Mingo’s Maggard had two pars on the day. It was a great day for golf and our girls played our home course well,” Enyart said.

Newton heads to Oskloosa on Tuesday. The PCM squad is at Knoxville today and Colfax-Min-go’s girls are at Pleasantville today.

“We spent our effort against SEP and fought hard to win that game,” Viragon said. “Marshall-town was well put together and we didn’t have any answer to counter their energy and their style of play. However, I’m proud of our kids and the way we played in this tour-nament. We put up a valiant effort against a very good team.”

In the loss to Marshalltown, Griffi n Engel had seven saves while giving up four goals. The Bobcat defense kept the Cardinal offense at bay. Newton had just three shots on goal in the game.

The Cardinals opened the tour-nament with a 4-0 win over North Polk. They were up 2-0 at half-time on goals by Reese Rosenquist and Josh Ventling. Nathan Moor-man and Rosenquist had an assist apiece.

Chandler Sturtz scored an un-assisted goal. Ventling put the fi n-ishing touch on the victory with a goal off an assist from a throw-in ball by Mike McCormick. Engel made two saves in goal for the Cardinals.

“We scored early in this game and controlled the tempo through-out the entire match. We moved the ball all over the fi eld and were able to dictate the play with our passing game,” Viravong said.

Viravong said it was good to see Newton’s players enjoying the game and having all they’ve learned come to fruition.

Against Southeast Polk, Mc-Cormick’s throw-in prowess was seen again as Ventling scored on the play. Newton led 1-0 at the break, but Southeast tied the game with a second-half goal.

Tied at 1-1 at the end of regu-lation, the teams went to penalty kicks. The game was deadlocked, 3-3, after the fi rst round of the shootout.

Viravong said the Rams’ missed on a penalty kick to begin the sec-ond round. Brock Southern kicked the ball past the SEP goalkeeper to ring up the win for Newton. The Cardinals won the shootout, 4-3, translating into a 2-1 game score.

Grant Davidson was in goal for the Cardinals in the contest. He was credited with seven saves. He also made one of the penalty kicks for Newton.

“It was a great victory for the team against SEP. We lost to them earlier in the season 4-0, and it was a great feeling to play them again and beat them. Overall, it was a great team effort that paved the way into the championship round,” Viravong said.

After the North Polk game, sev-eral players left the tournament for a band competition, he said.

Viravong said several play-ers had to play in a new position: Rosenquist as a stopper, Jordan Norvell as a sweeper, and Dalton Nevels as an outside right back de-fender. He said the Rams pressed the Cardinals hard and out shot Newton, 12-5.

“Now, we have to fi nish strong in the remaining games — all three are regular season confer-ence matches before the playoffs,” Viravong said.

The Cardinals (8-5) are at Os-kaloosa Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play. It is a doubleheader with the girls’ game at 4:30 p.m. and the boys taking the fi eld at 6 p.m.

Newton’s girls (8-1) climbed to No. 11 in the Class 2A rankings.

GRINNELL — Newton’s varsity squad had a good day on the fi ring line at its fi nal regular-season trap shooting meet.

The Cardinals rang up 199 clay targets out of 250 for fourth place at Saturday’s meet hosted by Grinnell.

“Our varsity was only four points behind fi rst place,” said Paul Klein, Newton Trap Team coach.

B-G-M won the meet, which had teams from Grinnell, Montezuma,

North Mahaska and Albia along with Newton and B-G-M competing.

Combining for Newton’s varsity were Kayla Klein, Jake Huizenga, Eric Hodge, Alexander Fruetel and Bryce Romick. Kayla Klein, who broke 38 out of 50 clay targets, took top female shooter honors.

Newton Trap Team, a club sport for NHS students, will fi nish out its season by attending the Iowa State Trap Meet in Cedar Falls on May 30 and 31. Also, some members will compete at the Iowa State Sporting Clays Competition on June 14.

Newton Trap Team ends regular season

COLFAX — Mustangs Devon Woody and Justin Beener continue to show strength this season as they earned medalist and runner-up spots for Prairie City-Monroe at Saturday’s Colfax-Mingo Golf Invitational.

Woody shot a 72 on the day for an even par, hitting one under on the fi rst nine holes. Runner-up Beener fi nished the day with a 77, shooting par on the back nine. Consistency amongst its players gave PCM the meet title at the Colfax Golf Club.

Saturday’s win came on the heels of a second place fi nish Friday in Ames at the Gilbert Invitational. The Mus-tangs were four strokes off the lead at the Ames Golf Quadrangular, scoring a 156.

In Colfax, the Pella Christian boys shot their best of the round of the sea-son, placing second with a 319. Eagles

Graham Howerzyl and Mitch Fopma tied Saturday with 79 each.

C-M’s Jimmy Abell was the Tiger-hawk’s top golfer at the invitational, shooting an 82 on the day.

PCM will hit the links again at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday as they travel to North Mahaska. PC will be back in action at 1:30 p.m. today in Grinnell, and C-M also plays again today at 4 p.m. at a coed invite in Pleasantville.

Astrograph

Humans like to be right. Maybe it’s because our complex brains grasp the magnitude of the universe beyond what is understood by other earthly species. Realizing that so much is out of our control, some degree of certainty is required in order to function. Mercury trine Mars asks, “What if you’re wrong?” It’s fine! There is peace in this.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 12). The next seven weeks empower you. You’ll take control of the flow of events, and the outcome will be dif-ferent from what anyone would have predicted and exactly the way you want things to be. A work project will pay you well in July. August is your chance to be the star of the show. Septem-ber brings new friends. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 40 and 16.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your conversations will be more complex and layered than they seem. You may not real-

ize that you are looking for a certain outcome until you get a different one. Try to roll with the surprises.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The more distance you put between yourself and the thing that is rob-bing you of your peace, the better. You’re not running away so much as running toward your center.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You consider yourself to be a citizen of the world, and excel-lent manners are your passport. The civility you apply in today’s dealings will command attention and inspire reciprocity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You radiate a feeling of acceptance and inclusion. No wonder you’re so popular. You praise and encourage authenticity, and so people feel free to be themselves around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want to make a change. Do not sell any-thing in haste. Do your research. Wait to get the

best price. Your noncha-lant attitude will attract the right buyer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It can take tremen-dous effort to establish a new behavior, but once your brain is trained, all the hard work is done. Now you are starting to enjoy the benefits of your new habit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll make adjust-ments to your personal space that turn it into a kind of cocoon for learn-ing, doing and being the person you want to be. These changes will not be expensive at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re both clever and even-tempered. Setting your own agenda aside, you will solve a problem, smooth over a situation and help everyone have a better day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you get out your wallet, consider that luxurious things can also be free things.You’ll enjoy an exchange of finery that comes in

the form of words or beautiful gestures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll think of many ways to improve your work situation. Keep the brainstorming process separate from the planning process. This is how you’ll avoid becom-ing overwhelmed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are quite obser-vant, and this will serve you well today. You’ll read the small changes in a loved one’s behav-ior and easily figure out what it all means.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want to be the shaper, but you don’t need to be. At times like this, it is better to be the one who is shaped. Let the situation teach you and mold you. There are good influences around you.
