Skilled Community NCRC Days planned

for next weekBy Daily News Staff

Iowa Workforce/Skilled Iowa Team, DMACC Newton Campus, the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Newton Devel-opment Corporation are collaborating to offer Skilled Community NCRC Days next week in Newton.

Newton is close to becoming one of the first cities in Iowa to be des-ignated a “ S k i l l e d I o w a C o m -m u n i t y, ” and about 180 volun-teers, both employed and un-employed, are needed to take the National Career Readi-ness Certificate, which opens the door to hundreds of job opportunities and includes three assessments: applied mathematics, locating information and reading for information.

The NCRC is an industry-recog-nized, portable, evidence-based cre-dential that certifies essential skills needed for workplace success. Test questions are based on situations in the everyday work world. There are four levels of achievement: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. There is no “pass” or “fail,” and all assessments are confidential. By completing all three hours of the test, each person will be eligible for a prize drawing.

The Newton DMACC Cam-pus computer labs will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, May 12, through Thursday, May 15, and from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, May 16. The test is a proctored and takes three hours. The test can be taken in one three-hour session or one hour at a time over three days. There is no charge to take the test. To reserve a space in the DMACC computer lab, contact Sue Ely at the Greater New-ton Area Chamber of Commerce at (641) 792-5545 or [email protected].

National Foster Care Month

celebrates local foster families

Special to the Daily News

May is National Foster Care Month, a time to rethink what it means to make a difference in kids’ lives in one of the most challenging and reward-ing ways: providing homes to the more than 6,000 teens and children currently in Iowa’s foster care system.

Thanks to the many Iowans who already serve as foster par-ents, as caregivers and in other supporting roles, each year many children and teens are safely reunited with their par-ents, cared for by relatives or adopted into loving families.

“National Foster Care Month is a time to salute the

Supervisors to consider final resolution for resurfacing project

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

After receiving initial approval last June, County Engineer Russ Stutt will present the Jasper County Board of Supervisors a final resolution for the road resurfacing project set to take place on County Black-top T22/Image Avenue near Kellogg.

“Image Avenue, which is a short stretch just west of Kellogg, has gotten to be in pretty bad shape,” Stutt told the board during a June meeting last year.

Stutt is also asking for approval from the board for several bids.

His first request is for a new tandem straight truck, which is a heavy to me-dium duty truck capable of hauling up to 15 tons. The lowest bid comes from Des Moines-based Housby Mack for $82,703.92.

In his request for a new dump truck body, Stutt only received a response from one of the three companies he submit-ted bids to. Manchester-based Hender-son Truck Equipment submitted a bid of

$51,440.Considering how the last two winters

have gone, Stutt’s final bid could have the most direct impact for the citizens of Jas-per County. Stutt is seeking rock salt bids for the 2014-15 winter season. Under the bidding procedure, rock salt delivery would begin September 2014 and end in May 2015.

The amount of salt Stutt put out for bid was 1,500 tons. Independent Salt, based out of Kanapolis, Kan. presented a low bid of $73.63 per ton. Independent was also the county’s salt provider for the 2013-14 winter season.

Stutt’s final request from the supervi-sors on Tuesday will be to set a temporary speed limit of 35 mph during construction from South 48th Avenue East to Kennel Avenue in the Richland Township of Jas-per County. If approved, the temporary speed limit would remain in effect until a resolution is passed to change it.

‘Amazed’

Kate Malott/ Daily NewsFans laugh as Spider-Man took a child’s baseball hat and wore it himself. Children and adults alike came to see Spider-Man on Saturday afternoon at the Newton Capitol II during his one-hour appearance. Many took pictures with him and asked for an autograph.

Plant Sale

Kate Malott/ Daily NewsSara Guthrie and her youngest daughter, So-phia, look at plants at the Project AWAKE annual plant sale that took place this weekend. The sale had a large attendance this year, taking place Fri-day and Saturday. Plants and flowers were do-nated by local florists, and all proceeds go to help fund the Newton Arboretum.

• Fred J. Stuetelberg, 57, of Newton was cited with failure to yield when making a left turn and no insurance after authorities responded to a two-vehicle acci-dent at 3:24 p.m. April 17. Stu-etelberg was traveling east in the center lane of First Avenue East and making a left turn in Palma’s when he collided with a west-bound vehicle driven by Michael H. McKinney, 41, of Newton. The impact sent Stuetelberg’s vehicle across three lanes of traf-fic, over a curb and into a yard on the south side of First Ave-nue. McKinney was transported by ambulance to Skiff Medical Center. Stuetelberg’s vehicle sus-tained an estimated $6,000 dam-age and McKinney’s vehicle an estimated $4,000 damage.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.” — Abraham Lincoln

Rhonda Pieper (pictured at right) of Donnellson gets her business management skills from her father, her adopted father. Bob Bixenman owned Bix Basement Sys-tems in Ft. Madison, and Rhonda observed and listened to him while she was growing up. She remembers him saying, “It takes money to make money.”

Upon graduation from Aquinas High School in Ft. Madi-son, she spent a year at the University of Iowa. She returned to Ft. Madison to attend Bill Hill’s College of Cosmetology, and to be closer to her soon-to-be husband, Frank, who worked for her father.

After graduation, Rhonda worked at a beauty salon in Ft. Madison for a year, then, at the tender age of 21, bought her own sa-lon. She’s never looked back. Oh, there are bad days, but they are outweighed by the good. Her husband quips, “Some days she wants to sell, the next day it’s great!”

In her salon, Midtown Hairstyling, in Ft. Madison, she has four stylists, including herself. Unusual for a small business, espe-cially a beauty salon, she provides health in-surance for her employees. An obvious sign of a good work environment, one of her stylists has been with her 11 years, because Rhonda is, “Fair and thoughtful.”

Over the 34 years that Rhonda has been in business, 25 or so stylists have worked for her. One of Rhonda’s most stressful times was when three stylists left her over a peri-od of two months to open their own salons. But that was the way she got started, so she couldn’t complain. The training of new styl-ists was hard work, but she always learned something new.

In addition to hair styling, Midtown also offers tanning, manicures and pedi-cures. Rhonda finds the pedicures to be the most relaxing. The pedicures are done in a quiet room by itself, and she has time to spend with the customer, some of them she has known for years. She sees customers in their good times and bad. They come in to have their hair and nails done for funerals, proms, graduations, weddings, you name it. Some of her long-time customers bring her little gifts which she really appreciates.

Rhonda’s is a master with color — she can change someone’s appearance. A make-over! The color change takes time, and there are transition shades, which can be scary, like orange, when changing someone from brunette to blonde. But the end product is something to behold.

Of course, there are stories, and funny things can happen. They have taken to keeping a notebook of the interesting in-cidents and what people say: “Can you do my hair right now? OK, I’ll be right back, I have to run an errand.” Or, “I need a hairdo to fit around these head phones.”

The business is a joint effort by she and her husband, Frank, who works at Climax Molybdenum in Ft. Madison. He’s the “Mr. Fix-it” around the shop, which is invalu-able. He also farms.

How to run a business was not taught by the college of cosmetology. Rhonda learned that from her dad, and the school of hard knocks. One time there was a salesperson offering advertising on phone-book cov-ers. She wrote a check for $300, and called her father to let him know that he might want to invest, too. Her father told her it was a scam, and to stop payment on the check. Too late, the check had already been cashed. She has since learned that her mon-ey is much better spent on community and school activities.

Rhonda is occasionally called into fu-neral homes to do the hair of a deceased person. She was prepared when her mother passed away. She and her sister, who is also a beautician, did her mother’s hair and nails, and dressed her. After all, they had been do-ing their mother’s hair all along, and they wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do it.

It was their last gift to their mother.

The First Amendment

The Class of 2014 will gradu-ate from high school on the heels of welcome news that fewer of their peers are dropping out of school. Recently released data from the U.S. Department of Education show America hit its highest-ever high school gradua-tion rate when the Class of 2012 topped 80 percent. Even more impressively, Iowa ranked high-est in the nation with an 88 per-cent success rate at keeping kids in school through graduation.

This is good news. It shows a com-mitment by parents and educators to give the next generation a strong start to become p r o d u c t i v e c o n t r i b u -tors of soci-ety. America’s posterity will be shaped by the choices Millen-nials make to embrace and pro-tect the blessings of economic freedom and individual liberty as they come of age in the 21st century.

Friends and family look for-ward to celebrating this milestone with the Class of 2014 in commu-nities across Iowa. Parents have plenty to celebrate. Since 1960, the USDA has compiled data on what it costs to raise a child in the United States. Child-rearing costs have seen an average annual increase of 4.4 percent. The US-DA’s most recent report projects parents would spend $241,080 to raise a child born in 2012 from birth to age 17.

If only sticker shock stopped on graduation day. Some stu-dents may already have a taste of debt with monthly car payments. Others may have hefty tuition bills on their horizon. A growing share of college-bound students takes out financial aid and gradu-ates with an average $27,000 debt. Today the nation’s student loan portfolio is a whopping $1 trillion and many predict a likeli-hood of significant default, put-ting taxpayers on the hook yet again.

This spring I introduced bi-partisan legislation to help fami-lies comparison shop for colleges. The bill would update and stan-dardize requirements for colleges to make available a net price cal-culator, an online tool to make it easier for students to better estimate and compare what they would pay at schools they are in-terested in attending.

Even without student loans, the Class of 2014 enters the “real world” already saddled with debt, their portion of the fed-eral debt. The $17.5 trillion fed-eral IOU boils down to nearly $55,000 for every man, woman and child in America. Before landing their first job after high school, these graduates have in-herited an expensive tab.

However, the debt burden is not the only reason this genera-tion will struggle to get a foot-hold in the economy.

Economic growth hasn’t kept pace and the result is shrinking opportunities and dreams for would-be entrepreneurs, job cre-ators and workers struggling to find full-time employment. The labor force participation rate is the worst in four decades and entry-level job applicants find themselves competing with over-qualified candidates for work.

Tax, spend and borrow policies in Washington are driving up debt instead of recharging what drives U.S. economic growth. Rather than giving the green light to job-creating policies, such as simplifying the tax code, making the corporate tax burden more competitive in the global economy, fighting for trade pro-motion authority, approving the Keystone XL pipeline and going after homegrown energy whole hog, allies of Big Government support forcing small businesses to give raises they can’t afford, controlling the delivery of health care in America and dictating regulatory burdens that make it harder for businesses to grow, hire, expand and invest.

Overpromising, overreaching and overspending occur at the expense of future generations. Policies that push wealth redistri-bution and unsustainable entitle-

ments are unraveling the merits of America’s success story hand-ed down for generations: that big dreams, hard work, sacrifice and ambition would be rewarded with unlimited opportunity. The heavy-handed levers of govern-ment-knows-best are uprooting America’s “sky’s the limit” mind-set. Fostering a culture of depen-dence and entitlement instead of self-sufficiency and hard work goes against America’s grain.

So, I challenge the Class of 2014 to help put America back on track. Whether choosing to enter the workforce, obtain voca-tional training, pursue higher ed-ucation, volunteer, or serve one’s country, it’s more important than ever for our youngest generations to dream big and understand the rights and responsibilities of citi-zenship.

That’s why I make it a prior-ity to foster robust representa-tive government and strengthen civics education. That includes visiting regularly with students in their schools. I want to hear what’s on their minds and chal-lenge them to get involved and tune in to current events. Re-cently I cosponsored a biparti-san resolution that affirms the importance of teaching civics education in our schools. It puts the U.S. Senate on record that we must reinforce the principles of self-government so future gen-erations will understand how to hold government to account.

Research shows an erosion of basic knowledge about our con-stitutional government, such as the natural rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the functions of the three branches of government. And growing cynicism about the in-stitutions of government and public service reflect a growing disconnect between “we the peo-ple” and the healthy function-ing of self- governance. Apathy is damaging to the crop of new graduates who will sow the seeds of America’s prosperity for pos-terity.

Dream big, Class of 2014. As farmers working the fields this spring have known for genera-tions, you will reap what you sow.

Exercise Helps Parkinson’s Disease

Exercise may play a role in the prevention of Parkinson’s and may also help maintain health and independence in those with Parkinson’s. New research revealed that people who had been physically ac-tive through their 30’s and 40’s were 35% less likely to develop Parkinson’s com-pared to those who were in-active. There is also evidence that exercise may help slow the progression of the disease in those Parkinson’s patients who continue to exercise. Exercise seems to improve cognitive and motor skills and increase longevity in those with the disease.

In other business, the board will hear sep-arate requests from the Jasper County Sher-iff ’s Office and Jasper County Elderly Nutri-tion for various food service contracts.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty will ask the board to approve a one-year contract renewal with CBM Managed Services, of Sioux Falls, S.D., to provide food services for the Jasper County Jail. If approved, the new contract would run retroactively from April of this year and expire on March 31, 2015.

The cost of the contract is dependent on the number of inmates at the jail. For exam-ple, if there are between 25 and 30 inmates, the county pays $3.15 per meal. If the jail population were more than 81 inmates, the county would pay as little as $1.59 per meal.

Kelli Van Manen, elderly nutrition direc-tor, will ask the board to approve a two-year contract for her department and Aging Re-sources of Central Iowa. ARCI is an agency dedicated to supporting citizens over the age of 60 by procuring funds from various sourc-es and disbursing them to partner agencies.

If approved, the amount ARCI would al-locate to the county would be dependent on the amount of funds it raises and the contract would go into effect on July 1, 2014, and end on June 30, 2016.

EPIC IOWA Tour Bus visits Newton

compassionate families and individuals who make a difference for Iowa kids as foster par-ents, relative caregivers, social workers, men-tors, advocates and vol-unteers,” said Theresa Lewis, project director for Iowa KidsNet.

It is also a time to raise awareness of the

many children who still need foster families and reach out to more Io-wans who can provide good homes.

“What many peo-ple don’t realize is that there is no one model of a foster family. Adults can be single or mar-ried, homeowners or renters, already have children or not. If you are in a position to pro-vide a nurturing, safe and stable home for a teen or child, you can be a foster parent,” Lewis said.

More foster homes are especially needed for teenagers, sibling

groups and children with special needs or behaviors, many of whom have experienced abuse or neglect. There is also a need for more black, hispanic and Na-tive American families to become foster or adoptive parents.

“Entering foster care is hard on all kids, but keeping children con-nected to their families, friends and community when they enter foster care can ease the transi-tion and minimize trau-ma,” Lewis said. “By helping kids stay with siblings and keep ties to their culture, foster

care plays an important role in helping entire families move toward wholeness.”

In all Iowa coun-ties, Iowa KidsNet provides a structured network of support for foster families and post-adoption support for families who have ad-opted from foster care and have a subsidized adoption.

Iowa KidsNet is the single statewide contact for those interested in becoming foster or fos-ter adoptive parents. For more information, visit www.iowakidsnet.com or call (800) 243.0756.

DEAR ABBY: For the last few years my family has rented the same beach condo. My friend “John” and his family have joined us there on many occasions. When I asked him his vacation plans for this year, he informed me last night that he has rented the beach condo for the same weeks we have historically oc-cupied it.

I was floored. I think a more ap-propriate approach would have been for him to have called me first and ex-pressed his interest in renting it, but he should not have rented the unit if it conflicted with our vacation plans. I understand the free marketplace — first-come, first-served — but I can’t help feeling he undercut me. — CONFUSED IN A TENT AT THE BEACH

DEAR CONFUSED: Your feel-ing is 100 percent accurate. That wea-sel DID undercut you, and real friends don’t act that way. Now that you know what he’s capable of, contact the land-lord and make a long-term deal in ad-vance if you want that unit in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I am a lonely 83-year-old woman. All I want is someone to love me, preferably a hand-some, wealthy man who will spoil me. I have spent my entire life making other people happy, and now all I want is some happiness back. I mean, can’t an older woman get some loving, too?

I have been told I’m charming. I have the laugh of an angel, a full head of blond/gray hair and a slim figure. I would like a man (preferably in his elderly years) who is lonely and needs some company. And also someone who wants to spend his savings on me. Abby, help me find my soul mate. — WAIT-ING FOR “GOT-DOUGH”

DEAR WAITING: Why do I sus-pect this letter may have been written by a group of sorority sisters after a few drinks? However, just in case it’s actual-ly on the level, your “want ad” has now been viewed by millions of Dear Abby

readers worldwide, and I’m sure we will hear from many applicants who are ea-ger to be “The One.” Let’s hope none of them write from “Scam-dinavia.”

DEAR ABBY: My daughter-in-law is having a baby. My mother and I told her we would have a shower for her. She registered at a local store for baby gifts, let us start planning the shower, and then informed us that she would not be opening gifts at the party. My son has sided with her. He said he didn’t know her reason, but felt like it was no big deal.

Why would she act that way? We think it’s peculiar. The shower has now been canceled at her request. — MYS-TIFIED IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR MYSTIFIED: Your daugh-ter-in-law may have been trying to be considerate of any guests — possi-bly members of her family — whose gifts might not have been as expensive as those purchased or crafted by other guests. Or she may have felt self-con-scious about being the center of atten-tion.

While I agree that one of the plea-sures of attending a shower is seeing the expression of joy on the mother-to-be’s face as the presents are unwrapped, look at it this way: Because the shower is canceled, your problem is solved. Now forget about it.

Newton girls stay on track for LHC tennis title

NEWTON — Breaking 199 out of 250 possible clay targets, Newton Trap Team’s varsity shooters fi nished third at its home meet Saturday. The trap shoot was held at Jasper County Gun Club with teams from Newton, Baxter Trapshooting, B-G-M Shotgunners and Madison County Clay Crushers competing.

B-G-M won the varsity competition, hit-ting 215 out of 250 targets, while Madison County placed second, 212 out of 250.

Kayla Klein and Alexander Fretel led the Newton varsity squad. Klein broke 41 out of 50 targets, placing second among female shooters. Fretel broke 45 out of 50 targets. Also on the varsity squad were Jake Huiz-enga, Eric Hodge and Bryce Romick.

Newton’s junior varsity squad won their division. The team of Brian Bleakney, Lo-gan Zaabel, Nathan Tremel, Clay Trotter and Michael Blom had a score of 156 targets out of 250. Baxter took second (128) then Newton’s other junior varsity team of Austin James, Cole Doerring, Colton Kingery, Chaz Ridenour and Allison Winchell was third at 126.

B-G-M’s Claire Solem was top female shooter with a score of 44 out of 50 possible. There was a three-way tie for fi rst among male shooters, but the medal went to B-G-M’s Brady McClenathan, since the other two shooters did not stay for the tiebreaker.

Newton Trap Team hosts meet


NEWTON — Staying in conten-tion for the Little Hawkeye Confer-ence championship, Newton’s Car-dinal girls withstood the aggressive style of play of Oskaloosa Friday in a home dual. The Cardinals rolled to a

10-1 win over the Indians.“They were tied for second place

with only one loss, losing a close match to Grinnell,” said Newton head coach Erick Zehr of Oskaloo-sa. “They were one of the last major contenders for us to deal with in the regular season, and since they have a very unique play style. They are al-

ways an interesting matchup. They crash the net often and have a very aggressive play style, which is nor-mally very effective in girls tennis.”

PERRY — Victoria Jordan had a hat trick — scoring once in the fi rst half and twice in the second half — to push the Newton Car-dinal girls to a 5-1 victory Friday night over host Perry.

With the non-conference win, the Cardinals improved to 7-1. Friday’s game was the start a long road-game run for the Class 2A 12th-ranked Cardinals. They play at Grinnell Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference action.

“We came out fl at in the fi rst half, and it was tied 1-1 at half,” Newton head coach Cathy Re-iter said. “The girls cranked it up coming right out of halftime and played with energy and were ag-gressive for the entire second half.”

Jordan found the net on a free kick served in from Michaela Ja-cobsen. Newton’s fi rst goal came 14 minutes into the contest. Per-ry answered quickly to knot the score, 1-1.

The Cardinals came out ag-gressive out of the break. Jordan scored one minute into the sec-ond half on an assist from Amber Karsten. Jordan cashed in a pen-

alty kick four minutes later to put Newton up 3-1.

Jordan gave back with an assist to Karsten for a goal with 15 min-utes remaining in the game. Kayt-lin Ahn scored with an assist from Ryanne Rausch a minute later.

While the offense scored four times in the second half, Newton’s defenders shut out Perry. Em-ily Forsyth had seven saves in the goal for the Cardinals.

Cardinals win on the road

singles matches. At No. 1 singles, Maria Valbuena beat Kailey Scharff, 6-3, 6-0 followed by Jennifer Ventling winning 6-1, 6-4 over Jamie Stewart at No. 2 singles. Holly Vander Pol handed the Cardinals a 7-5, 6-1 win over Bethany Rowley at No. 3 singles.

Monica Corso earned a 7-6 (6), 6-2 win over Abbie Meyer in the No. 4 singles match. McKen-na Heisdorffer notched a 6-4, 6-4 win over Mor-gan Holle at No. 5 sin-gles and Kayla Corso de-feated Asli Bayram, 6-2, 7-5, in No. 6 singles.

“You don’t beat a good team like Oskaloosa 10-1 without your entire team playing well. Ma-ria had to play against a style that she is not used to, and she made some excellent adjustments in the fi rst set that allowed her to really dictate the terms of the rest of the

match,” Zehr said. “Jenn’s opponent has

been taking lessons for the past year, and re-ally showed signifi cant improvement, but Jenn just played phenom-enally, especially given that she was not feel-ing well. Holly faced some adversity in her fi rst set against a very athletic Rowley, but she made some great shots to close out the fi rst set and just continued roll-ing through the second.”

In doubles matches, Ventling and Vander Pol rallied to win the No. 1 doubles match, 4-6. 7-6 (3), 1 (3) over Scharff and Rowley. Valbuena and M. Corso combined for a 6-0, 6-1 win over Meyer and Holle in No. 2 doubles.

Heisdorffer and K. Corso defeated Stewart and Bayram in anoth-er third-set tiebreaker match, 3-6, 6-2 1 (10) in No. 3 doubles.

“McKenna and Kayla battled back, despite los-

ing the fi rst set, to win a nail-biter, and the clos-est match of the day. Once they started playing smarter, they were able to control the points bet-ter, and with the match balancing on only a few points, they were able to fi nish the narrow 12-10 third set victor,” Zehr said.

The lone loss of the dual came in No. 4 dou-bles when Oskaloosa’s Ra-chel Groet and Emileigh Klucas edged Newton’s Marisa Modlin and Sierra Griffi th, 4-6, 6-2, 0 (3).

Newton’s Halie Ow-ens and Megan Press-grove beat Claire Car-michael and Macy Milledge, 6-2, 6-1 in the No. 5 doubles match.

Newton is 3-0 in con-ference play with three duals remaining to play. On Tuesday, the Cardi-nals play Pella and Pella Christian at Pella. They conclude LHC play at home Thursday against Knoxville.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s track teams were busy Friday night at dif-ferent track meets. Today, the Raider teams are at home hosting two meets. The girls’ meet was rescheduled from April 24.

The CMB girls traveled to Huxley, competing in the Ballard Invitational Class B Division. The Raiders fi n-ished fi fth with 81 points while Ro-land-Story piled up 158 for the team title.

CMB’s boys weren’t scheduled to compete on Friday night, but after Thursday’s meet at Prairie City-Mon-roe was rained out, the Raiders went looking for another track meet. They were able to get in the Roland-Story Norsemen Invitational in Story City.

The CMB boys piled up 176 points, bolstered by a strong showing in the fi eld events, to win the team title. Ballard was second with 86 1/2 points and Roland-Story placed third with 84 points.

At Huxley, the CMB girls won the sprint medley relay in 1 minute, 57.73 seconds. Maddy Poage, Megan Ritter, Mackenzie Schmitz and Bridget Hur-ley combined for the gold- medal run. Schmitz and Poage fi nished second and third, respectively, in the 100-me-ter dash in 13.22 seconds and 13.88 seconds.

“Our girls competed well tonight. We ran a lot of personal best times to-night, and had a good battle with two other good teams for that third place, fi nishing just six points out of third,” said Jerry Meinerts, CMB girls’ head coach.

Madrid scored 87 points for third place followed by Prairie Valley with 84.

Abbie Haupert claimed second in the discus with a throw of 100 feet, 4 inches and Mikayla Eslinger was fi fth

at 95’8”. Payge Jurgens was fourth in the shot put at 36 feet, and Bekah Pearson took sixth at 31’10 1/2”.

The CMB gitrls placed second in both the 4x200-meter relay and the 4x100-meter relay races. Heather Jessen medaled in the 3,000-meter run (12:49) in third place and the 1,500-meter run (5:50.71) in fourth.

“Our sprinters and fi eld event girls continue to score a lot of points for us. They are really solid and have been pret-ty consistent all season long. Heather is doing a good job racing the distance race, and continues to improve each meet,” Meinerts said. “Our 800 runners are starting to drop their times, in fact all 800 runners ran their best times this season, along with our 4x800 team.”

At Story City, the CMB boys went 1-2 in three of the four fi eld events. Bryce Kemp won the long jump with a leap of 20’10 3/4” and Zach Huf-faker was econd at 19’11 1/4”. Zach Samson claimed the gold medals in the shot put (56’3”) and the discus (150’4 1/2”) with Patrick Girard tak-ing second in the shot put (49’7”) and Clayton Weltha was second in the dis-cus (143’1 1/2”).

In the other fi eld event — the high jump — CMB’s Hunter Gunderson placed second, clearing the bar at 6 feet, and Joey Nissen was third at 5’6”.

“Our fi eld event guys got us off to a good start with some very good per-formances and we were competitive on the track throughout the evening so it was a good meet for us,” said CMB boys’ head coach Neil Seales.

“While it was pretty windy and considering the recent weather, it was dry and reasonably warm so that was a big improvement and we were just glad to get a chance to compete.”

On the track, the Raiders won three races, but scored points in 11 others. Jordan Coughenour and Huf-faker went 1-2 in the 400-meter dash in 53.68 seconds and 55.43 seconds,

respectively.Coughenour also won the 400-me-

ter hurdle race in 56.89 seconds with Brady Stover in fourth (1:01.99). Kemp claimed the gold medal in the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.27 sec-onds and Nissen was third in 17.19 seconds.

Stover and Nissen combined with Nick Littell and Austin Moorman for second place in the 4x110-meter shuttle hurdle race in 1:05.63. Mark Deutsch ran second in the 3,200- me-ter race in 10:26.42 and Colin Thom-son was fi fth in 11:07.85. Deutsch also took second in the 1,600-meter race in 4:55.93 and Evan Bianchi was sixth in 5:13.68.

Seals said Roland-Story also ran a full slate of junior varsity events so CMB was able to get all 52 guys on the team plenty of competition. He said thet had some very good efforts from the younger guys.

Here are the other results from both meets:

NEWTON — A defensive stand with less than two minutes to play in the game sealed Newton’s rugby win Friday night. The Cardinals prevented West Des Moines Val-ley’s Tigers from scoring a tying try and earned a line-out throw-in.

On the throw-in, Jake Huizenga picked up the ball with no Tigers between him and the score line. Huizenga dashed almost the length of the fi eld for a try, putting Newton up 28-14.

Valley went up 7-0 early in the fi rst half. Newton answered on a breakaway run for a try by Ray Sch-roder. Newton’s Jake Smith plunged over the scoring line for the second try. Schroder’s second score pushed the Cardinals to a 21-7 lead. It was 21-14 at halftime.

After Huizenga scored, the Car-dinals held the Tigers at bay the fi -nal minute of the contest, winning 28-14.

The second set of Tigers the Cardinals faced Friday had more

muscle. The Cardinals went 1-1 in their home tournament of the Iowa Youth Rugby Association’s high school league. Time ran out on the Cardinals as they were attempting to tie up the game. Newton lost to Cedar Falls, 21-14.

“(Co-coach) Justin (Liston) and I thought the guys played well Fri-day night,” said Bill Reed, Newton co-coach. “The fi rst half of the Val-ley game may have been the best half we have played all season, solid tackling and good passing.”

“Cedar Falls was the most physical and aggressive team we have played this year, (it rattled us a little in the fi rst half ) but the guys hung in there and gave them a good battle.”

The Cardinals struck fi rst on a long run by Joseph Banfi eld for the fi rst try of the contest. Cedar Falls scored three times to build a 21-7 halftime lead.

Newton (6-3-1) play its fi nal two divisional games next Friday at Des Moines Lincoln’s Hutchens Sta-dium. The Cardinals are slated to play Clarke at 7 p.m. and Southeast Warren at 8 p.m.

Raider track teams run at different locations

Newton Rugby takes split at home

CHARITON — After a week of rain-outs, the Prairie City-Monroe girls golf team took to the links Saturday at a meet hosted by Chariton High School.

Mustang Cassidy Van Veen took the tops spot individually at Chariton , scoring a 94 in 18 holes. Breanna Maher also had a strong showing Saturday, scoring a 100 overall while shooting a 47 on the front nine.

PCM head girls golf coach Val Edwards said that the effort at Chariton was strong considering a week of rainouts kept the Mus-tangs off the course.

“Overall, our scores weren’t too bad for not being able to play for a week due to weather and can-celled meets,” Edwards said. “It was exciting to have Cassidy be a medalist, as she was tied for sec-ond going into the second nine holes.”

PCM took fourth out of the fi ve teams competing at Chari-ton. Rounding out the Mustangs’ scores were Kelsey Van Veen with 111 and Abby Van Haaften with 151.

The Mustang girls will have an intensive week, as they prepare for three meets, including the Heat of Iowa Conference contest at Cedar Point Golf Course Wednesday in Boone. PCM will also compete at Honey Creek Golf Course on Thursday, and will fi nish its week Friday in Newton.

Astrograph

Cinco de Mayo is a rela-tively minor holiday in Mexico, but in the United States, it is considered a prime opportunity to cele-brate Mexican culture and heritage. The festivities will be guided by a Leo moon that favors drama, color and entertainment. The moon forms a lucky trine with Venus in the evening for extra empha-sis on aesthetics.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 5). Goals will take less time than you think to accomplish, so dive in and get things done this month. The good feelings carry over to June when you’ll share an adventure with a special friend. Education becomes increasingly important, and you’ll make money quickly with what you learn in August. Capri-corn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 3, 33, 14 and 11.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a certain way you like to be treated. Reward those who do the right thing once, twice, three times and more. Behaviors

have to be practiced to be learned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re in the mood to take a risk, but you also know where to draw the line. You’ll gamble a por-tion of what you have, but not all of it and not what you don’t have, as many gamblers tend to do.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re wondering why people are open-ing up to you, telling their stories and sharing the intimate details of their lives, it’s because your smile is the sign of welcome they’ve been waiting for.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll tackle the most dif-ficult problems first, and the other problems will either suddenly seem like non-issues or will actually be non-issues because they are handled along with the natural proceed-ings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those in your company will enjoy your charm and personality. Social graces alone won’t be enough to persuade

people to give you what you want, but they sure won’t hurt your position!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Hardships may be what strengthen people, but this concept is far easier to accept after the hard times are over. Your confidence will build as you look back at all you went through to get where you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A person who loved you long ago still loves you. Even though you don’t have the evidence of this affection in your daily life, by quietly ques-tioning whether this is so, your feelings will confirm the truth of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you constant-ly are feeling like you are in a down position, it’s because you have more on your plate than the people around you. It is simply not fair to make comparisons when the game is stacked like this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wish crazily. There is something of value in even the silliest-

seeming dream. Let yourself be whimsical. You can always go back later to find the value in your whims.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are jokes that only you and a very select number of others would appreciate. The person who can make you laugh with this kind of joke will have your heart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your travels will bring you face-to-face with someone you wouldn’t have chosen to interact with, and yet you’ll learn and solve much through contact with this person.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your smile makes people feel comfortable. The more comfortable people feel the more likely they are to go easy on their personal rules and regulations. Your smile grants you access to private worlds.

Zach Johnson/Daily NewsIowa Speedway President Jimmy Small makes the announcement for “Get To Know Newton” 250. Iowa Speedway made an announcement on their Face-book page about the fan focused events for “Wide-Opening Weekend”.

Iowa Speedway gets fan-focused

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small and his staff made a series of announcements over Facebook on Thursday and Friday about the series of fan-focused events that will kick off “Wide-Opening Weekend” May 17-18 at the Iowa Speed-way.

“We made a declaration when we purchased the Iowa Speed-way that we we’re going to create a fan-rich environment for the race weekend to make sure their experience is number one,” Small said. “It’s what we have been working on the past four months, and we’re very proud. Between the two announcements, it’s the example of us keeping our word on the investment.”

Small has created a nationally televised platform for the com-munity of Newton as the “Get To Know Newton 250” will be televised on ESPN.

“The executives at NASCAR couldn’t think of a better invest-ment in the inaugural NASCAR Nationwide Series race because it gives the race fans a chance to know about the area businesses, so when they come to see a race, they have an idea of the many places to see while at the Iowa Speedway,” Small said.

The speedway has announced that Tuesday it will be hosting test laps, which will be open to the public and feature NASCAR drivers Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Sam Hornish Jr., Brian

Scott, Austin Theriault and 2013 Iowa Speedway winner Trevor Bayne. The testing will be from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Fans will be able to view the testing from the Reserved RV Area.

The fan-focused events will start before the green flag drops with an up-close experience of the action during the pre-race. Fans will be able to take a ride on a mechanical bull named “Piston,” play a classic arcade game, get autographs from K&N Pro Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers, see a Monster Energy stunt show, climb a rock wall, be part of

the Pizza Ranch Victory Lane celebrations with a Casey’s Fan Walk Pass, and Saturday night Montgomery Gentry will have a free post-race concert for any ticket holder.

Iowa Speedway will have a special event for the season ticket holders with a party at Turn One Hospitality on May 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. The party will feature an appearance from Iowa Speedway track designer Rusty Wallace, driver appearances, a free gift, chances to get upgraded access and experiences and the party will have refreshments and a DJ playing throughout the party.

ACU reports financials at annual meeting

Advantage Credit Union officials report-ed solid financial results at the credit union’s 76th Annual Meeting, held Saturday, April 26, in Newton. Additionally, there was the election of four members to key volunteer positions on the ACU Board of Directors.

“By participating this evening you are ex-ercising the most important right you have as a member that bank customers do not have. We, the board of directors are elected by you to represent all member-owners,” board chairman Ron Jones said while ad-dressing the members in attendance.

The chairman detailed the solid financial results from the past year:

• Assets grew to $56.8 million.• The credit union now serves more than

5,400 members.• More than $18 million was loaned to

members in 2013.• Responsible lending continues as evi-

denced by a loan delinquency rate of .91%.• The credit union earned just over

$568,000 in 2013.The final part of the meeting was the

election and announcement that four vol-unteer members were elected to the board of directors. Elected to the board were in-cumbents Kim Clark, Jennifer Patty, Jeremy Vesely and Hollie Vanwyk. Nine volunteer directors will serve all Advantage members and help set the vision and policies of the credit union.

Underwriter’s Laboratory operations manager retiresOperations manager

Craig Thies retired from Underwriter’s Labora-tories on Friday.

Thies led the UL Newton operation since the 2011 acquisition of Springboard Engineer-ing. Theis managed the

integration of Spring-board Engineering into UL and was responsible for overseeing the ex-pansion of the Newton operation.

Theis began his ca-reer in Newton with the Maytag company in

1981 as a design engi-neer.

In 2008, Theis was part of Springboard En-gineering Inc., which would design, prototype and test products from concept to production.

“Craig has always

been fair and treats the employees with dignity and respect” UL con-sumer scientist Pam Os-born said.

Throughout his ca-reer, Theis also has con-tributed his time and talents to several local organizations.

Taking over for Theis is Curt Tremel, the new operations manager for UL, who previously led the product perfor-mance and energy effi-ciency businesses at UL.

Tremel will be re-sponsible for leading the growth of UL in

Newton. Like Theis, he began his career as a de-sign engineer at Maytag. Prior to joining UL in 2011, Curt was part of Springboard Engineer-ing Inc.

Tremel lives in New-ton with his wife, Kelly, and three children.
