Submitted PhotoDozzer, a pit bull owned by Nathan and Michelle Walker, is pictured spending time with one of their seven children. Dozzer died from complications after surgery last Tuesday after being shot by a Newton Police Department officer last Monday. Michelle said the kids haven’t been sleeping well since the incident and that several of the kids witnessed the shooting firsthand.

Newton family wants answers after NPD officer shoots dog

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

The Walker fam-ily is seeking answers after Newton Police Depart-ment Lt. Bill Henniger, shot their dog, Dozzer, last Monday.

Dozzer, owned by New-ton residents Nathan and Michelle Walker, later died from complications after surgery the following day.

Henniger responded to a report of a large dog running loose at 9:49 a.m. June 16 in the 300 block of North Third Avenue East. Beth Pline, a neighbor of the Walker family, said she also contacted authorities about the loose dog, stat-ing the dog had cornered a man who was pushing a baby in a stroller. She said the dog previously dis-played menacing behavior toward her son and daugh-ter on Sunday, May 26, and that this was her sec-ond time reporting it.

Two officers, Henniger and Ryan Zylstra, arrived at the scene and parked in the alley behind the Walk-er home. At this time, Dozzer was in one of the Walker family’s neighbor’s backyard, and Nathan and Michelle’s 5-year-old daughter, Nevaeh, went to fetch him and bring him home. Nevaeh told her

parents she was close to their driveway when one of the officers asked her if the dog belonged to her. She responded that it was and that Henniger then stepped out of his vehicle.

The Walkers are unclear exactly what happened af-ter Henniger exited the patrol car. Michelle said she was awakened by her children when the officers arrived.

“I went out the front door, and all the neigh-bors were out there, and I started yelling for the kids, and then I heard the ‘POP, POP.’ I had to run out back, the kids were freak-ing out, so I told them to go inside. The officer asked me if it was my dog and if he would listen to me. Then I asked if he was dead,” Michelle said.

Michelle said the offi-cer told her the dog wasn’t dead and that he had run to the front of their yard. She found Dozzer in the front yard bleeding heav-ily. She wrapped the dog’s leg and stayed with him until the Jasper County Animal Rescue League ar-rived to transport him to a veterinarian office.

Nathan was at work when the incident occurred and raced home after re-ceiving a frantic call from his wife. His said his rec-

ollection of the incident is based on what he has heard from his wife, children, neighbors and Henniger.

“As soon as (Henniger) shut the door, his words (were) the dog charged him down the alley and was jumping all over his left side,” Nathan said. “The other cop was saying that it appeared to him that the dog was latched on to (Henniger’s) left side. But he has no wounds on his left side. The only wound he has is a wound on his right shin.”

Nathan said he asked Henniger to see his wounds and said he ob-served a mark approxi-mately two inches in di-ameter and that the mark didn’t break the skin. Pline said the dog also bit Henniger on the arm but couldn’t verify which arm.

She also said she did agree with Nathan’s assess-ment that the bite marks did not look substantial.

Dozzer was a 79-pound pit bull the family described as friendly, loving and pro-tective. The dog was raised by family since he was a puppy, and Nathan said the kids and Michelle pur-chased Dozzer as a Father’s Day gift for him.

Sanders pleads guilty to federal firearms charge

By Daily News Staff

William “Billy” Leroy Sanders, 40, of Newton entered into a plea agree-ment Thursday on a federal charge of felon in possession of ammunition and is facing up to 15 years in prison.

As part of the agreement, Sand-ers will plead guilty to felon in possession of ammunition, and the court will dismiss the felon in possession of firearms portion of the original charge.

The agree-ment did not designate fines or costs of incarceration but stated Sanders understands the forfeiture of assets is part of the sentence that may be im-posed in the case. The plea agreement did specify Sanders will be forced to forfeit the weapons and ammunition found in his home at the time of his arrest in December, including a Ste-vens 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, a H&R 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, a Marlin Model 40 .22 caliber long rifle, and a Springfield XD 9 mm pistol as well as ammunition for the guns.

Sentencing is set for 11 a.m. Tues-day, Sept. 23, in Des Moines.

Sanders was arrested Dec. 28, 2013, in Sully after his wife called her son and told him she was being held against her will and had been assaulted. Her son called 911, notifying Jasper County authorities of what he had been told and also informing them Sanders had firearms in the home. A deputy arrived at the scene and was approached by Sanders’ wife, who appeared to have extensive injuries, in the front yard. She was first taken to Pella Regional Health Center and later airlifted to Mercy Medical Center. While being transported to Pella, she stated Sanders had hit her in he face with the butt of a shotgun and that she thought she may have fractured ribs.

Sanders was taken into custody, and authorities found a number of 12-gauge shotgun shells in his pants and coat pockets. Law enforcement officials also found four loaded fire-arms in the home.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halfer-ty interviewed Sanders’ wife two days later in her hospital room. During the interview, she stated Sanders had fired one of the weapons at her while she was sitting on the couch and that he also fired a crossbow at her. Halferty stated both weapons missed where she had been sitting by 12 inches or less. Sanders also forced her to drive him to a gas station at gunpoint to purchase cigarettes, according to Halferty.

School board to form sub-committee to update visitor’s policyBy Ty Rushing

Daily News Senior Staff Writer

After Newton Community School District Superintendent Bob Callaghan gave a detailed recap of David LaVera’s activities in two Newton school buildings, Berg Middle School and Aurora Heights Elementary School, the school board agreed to start looking closer at the district’s se-curity measures for visitors after Monday’s meeting.

LaVera, 33, is a native of San Diego and reportedly has been in the Newton area since early to mid-May. During this time, he claimed he was an actor in the “Twilight” film series and had been signing autographs under the alias “Kiowa Gordon” — a verified actor in the series. He is currently incarcerated at the Jas-

per County Jail for allegedly en-ticing a 14-year-old Baxter girl into his vehicle on June 10 and is being held on $50,000 bond.

He is also being investigat-ed for an incident involving a 14-year-old Newton girl.

“David was a guest in the home of parents of three of our students. The eldest child re-quested that Mr. LaVera be al-lowed to talk to his classmates (at BMS) regarding his Hol-lywood experiences,” Callaghan said. “The teacher verified his credentials and received permis-sion from campus administra-tion.”

LaVera then made his first appearance at BMS on May 28, where he was accompanied by both parents, and they proceed-ed with the district’s standard visitor formalities — identifying

yourself on camera, going to the main office to sign in, being as-signed a visitor’s badge and then being accompanied to said des-tination.

A complete guide of the dis-trict’s visitor’s policy may be found at www.newtoncsd.org/Downloads/1006.pdf.

“Mr. LaVera, with both par-ents, visited their son’s classroom where the teacher was present. After the classroom talk, Mr. LaVera was given permission by the principal to do some stunts on the cafeteria stage,” Cal-laghan said.

BMS principal Scott Bau-er wasn’t present at Monday’s meeting.

LaVera’s visit proved to be popular, and he was invited back to BMS on May 30 for a short assembly to perform more

stunts. He also was present at the school’s end-of-year pool party on June 9, which Callaghan add-ed was properly chaperoned by school personnel.

LaVera visited Aurora Heights on May 29 to visit the couple’s daughter’s classroom. Social media posts from district parents and students indicate LaVera signed autographs and posed for photos with students during his visits.

Callaghan said LaVera was accompanied by the parents and a district staff member at all times while in the buildings. He said there is video verifying this and that he received three emails and three phone calls regarding the situation.

Local OpinionPage 4A Tuesday, June 24, 2014

4AOpinion

Have you ever noticed? Sometimes, when you have no idea what to do with your life, the universe sends you a message. Some-times, the message comes as a whisper. Oth-er times, the universe bops you on the head with a baseball bat.

Today, the message came in the mail. (For my younger readers, “mail” is like email, ex-cept it is printed on paper and delivered, not through a computer but by a trained gov-ernment employee called a mail carrier. It’s what Mommy and Daddy used to send na-ked photos to each other through before the invention of sexting.)

The headline on the message I received read, “HUMAN RE-SOURCES” in big fat letters.

Message received, universe. Starting today, I am launching my new career as a human re-sources professional.

The fact that I know absolutely nothing about my newly chosen profession could be a problem, I suppose, but fortunately, the piece of mail that changed my life turned out to be a promotional brochure for a one-day course in HR. One day! That’s all it takes for the friendly folks at CareerTrack to turn an HR ignoramus like me or thee into an HR su-perstar.

Now, the company may not make such a sweeping claim, but it does promise that its “crash course” will “swiftly get you up to speed on all aspects of HR — from legal to compliance issues, to hiring and firing, ben-efits administration, records keeping/reten-tion and more.”

Of course, there are a few course correc-tions I want to suggest, so let’s look at some of the highlights of your training day.

Clearly, the first step to becoming a suc-cessful HR person is to master an entire lexicon of confusing acronyms. Like FLSA, EEO, OSHA, FMLA, ADA and HIPPA. Except for this last spoonful of alphabet soup, which will be crystal-clear to anyone who has ever had a HIPPA replacement, these confusing abbreviations are a vital tool in your new HR career.

The more of these belles-lettres you can stuff into a single sentence, the more respect-ed you will be. As in: “I’m afraid we have to terminate your employment, Ms. Fenster. FLSA regulations expressly forbid an OSHA exception for an FMLA employee who is not recognized by the EEO or the ADA.”

What this means I have no idea, but if a HR person said it to me, I’d pack my boxes and get out ... fast.

(Fortunately, nobody knows what these acronyms mean, so feel free to make up your own. It could save your job. “But what about the NERNFURB exception for URGUP-ranked employees,” Ms. Fenster should re-spond. “I believe the POOP has determined that we are a protected class.”)

Another key to being a successful HR per-son is learning how to locate, interview and vet job seekers. According to the CareerTrack curriculum, the one-day course will cover the questions that you may and may not ask in an interview. Hopefully, questions like, “Where do you want to be in the next five years?” will be on the don’t-ask list. Anyone who doesn’t answer, “Sitting on a talcum-powder white beach in Bongo-Bongo with $5 million tax-free dollars hidden in coconuts under my hammock” is lying to you.

(Another great question to ask — “You’re interviewing all over town. Is there any place you’ve been that looks like they could use an HR professional whose entire experi-ence amounts to a quickie course he took in a cheesy hotel meeting room?” This kind of probing question, along with a $20 bill laid elegantly on top of the candidate’s resume, could result in a fantastic new job — for you!)

Of course, the life of an HR professional is not all skittles and beer. And the training does include “guidelines for the legal termi-nation of an employee.” This is never a pleas-ant task, but I have to tell you, it’s a lot better being the person who does the firing than the person who gets fired. One excellent way to use your newfound HR chops is to fire your-self. Remember to document everything and be equally sure to make the firing totally il-legal. That way, you can collect mega-bucks from yourself, or, more correctly, your former employer, who will be more than happy to pay to get rid of you.

What you do next is a mystery, but trust the universe to provide you with a much bet-ter career than HR. That’s right, you could get a flyer in the mail for a dynamite one-day course in small-rodent taxidermy.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Government for a redress of grievances.

The First Amendment

There are few things more sacred to the individual rights of citizens of the United States than the Bill of Rights. The Founders embraced the natural rights of individuals and secured for posterity these timeless prin-ciples to thwart infringement of individual liberties by govern-ment overreach.

The Sen-ate Judiciary Commit tee recently held a hearing to examine a proposed amendment to the Con-s t i t u t i o n that would change the sacred pro-tection of the First Amendment. Introduced last summer, the proposed amendment is being championed by the U.S. Sen-ate Majority Leader. Those of us who oppose the amendment see it as an effort to silence the dissent of those who don’t agree with certain political views.

Specifically, Senate Joint Res-olution 19 would limit a funda-mental tenet of self-government, the unfiltered ability of the elec-torate to advocate, influence, persuade, denounce, criticize and challenge those running for public office. The proposed con-stitutional amendment would abridge the fundamental right of free speech by enabling the government to limit funds con-tributed to candidates and re-strict spending by individuals or groups to express political views to the public during an election.

The proposed amendment would water down the First Amendment and suppress the democratic process by deterring political free speech and shield-ing American voters from hear-ing different points of view.

Electoral politics is a neces-sary function of representative government. Whether seeking

re-election or running for pub-lic office for the first time, can-didates reach out to grassroots supporters, go door-to-door, secure endorsements and ask for donations to help finance their campaigns.

I support prompt, complete, full disclosure of campaign con-tributions to help keep the elec-toral process transparent and accountable to the voting pub-lic, but curbing political speech doesn’t square with our consti-tutional principles. Allowing the government to dictate limits on how much money citizens choose to spend on issues they feel very strongly about, from political ads to voter guides, puts government authority above the rights of the governed.

The U.S. Constitution has been amended only 27 times in the last 227 years. The Found-ers wisely made the amendment process a deliberative one, re-quiring a resounding consensus of three-quarters of the states (38 of 50) and two-thirds ap-proval of both houses of Con-gress. Changing the charter of liberty governing the nation de-serves such a thorough consent of the governed.

This proposal would upset the brilliant dynamic of our sys-tem of representative govern-ment, one that is exceptional to human history. Ours is the first constitution based on the principle that “we the people” are sovereign with unalienable rights, delegating to government only such power as necessary to secure these rights.

So, instead of the people rein-ing in government authority, broad new government author-ity would rein in the people’s freedom of political speech. The tail would wag the dog. And by that measure, the bite, S.J. Res. 19, is far more worrisome than the 24/7 bark of free speech dur-ing a political campaign.

Our institutions of govern-ment are stronger when more

citizens participate in the elec-toral process. That includes ex-ercising the right of political free speech and exercising the right to vote. Free speech cre-ates a marketplace of ideas and fosters participatory democracy, allowing an educated citizenry to cast votes to elect its leaders.

At first glance, public cyni-cism about campaign spending may cause some to consider it might be a good thing to restrict campaign contributions and lim-it political spending. However, if you have strong views anywhere along the ideological and politi-cal spectrum on issues such as pro-life or pro-choice, gun rights or gun control, climate change, zoning laws, debt, entitlement or tax reform, Americans have constitutional rights to speak up and contribute time and money to the candidates who support causes they support.

The proposed amendment would jeopardize the ability of citizens to criticize politicians, challenge government policy and influence their neighbor’s views on politics and policy upon penalty of imprisonment.

In the end, 535 members of Congress could decide what citi-zens may or may not say leading up to an election. Restricting or criminalizing free speech has no place among a free people in a free society.

Supporters of this amend-ment are barking up America’s liberty tree, ignoring the deeply rooted values enshrined in our nation’s historic charters of indi-vidual sovereignty. If approved, it would allow the heavy hand of government to roll back prized freedoms for which generations of Americans have fought and died to protect.

Watchdogs for good govern-ment can see this amendment is doggone bad policy chasing after self-serving politics at the ex-pense of freedom. That’s a per-verse price to pay in the land of the free and home of the brave.

Bill Riley Talent Search

Submitted PhotoOn Saturday, Audrey Rausch, Marin Pettigrew, Addison Ross and Brooklyn Cupples (pictured with Bill Riley Jr.) competed in the sprout division for the Bill Riley Talent Search in Lynnville. They competed with a dance routine that was choreographed by Amanda Roberts from inMotion Center for Dance, Tumbling and Cheerleading. They received second place and will advance onto the Iowa State Fair in August. inMo-tion Center for Dance, Tumbling and Cheerleading is owned and operated by Michelle Walker-O’Brien. inMotion will have registration for the 2014-2015 dance season from 4 to 8 p.m. July 23 and 24 at the studio, 200 N. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton.

The Walkers admitted Dozzer often ran loose, and Nathan said the dog was very hyper and playful, often jumping around as a way of getting attention.

Nathan said he was told by his family Dozzer was jumping up and down on Henniger’s left side and that Henniger then kicked and punched the dog before the dog bit him.

Nathan said he believes Dozzer bit Henniger in self-defense and that shooting Dozzer was an ex-treme measure.

“That’s when he pulled his ser-vice weapon and fired one shot and got him in the leg. He fired a sec-ond shot, and we don’t know where the shot went, and the dog was run-ning away,” Nathan said.

“My kids were standing right there,” Michelle added.

The couple’s 7-year-old daugh-ter Mackenzie was an eyewitness to the event.

“The cop was in the alley over there, and Dozzer was behind the second tree in the yard, and they shot Dozzer in the leg. Then they tried to shoot him again,” Macken-zie said.

Nathan said other witnesses can corroborate his daughter’s story.

“The dog was running away when he fired the second shot. I have neighbors all around me, and a couple of them that witnessed it — the whole action of it. They spe-cifically said that the dog retreated after the first shot and went to go lay down next to Mackenzie,” Na-than said. “That’s when he fired that second shot — when the dog was retreating to go toward Mack-enzie.”

Michelle said no one has been able to find the shell casing from that second shot, and Nathan be-lieves his dog’s demise was caused by people stereotyping the pit bull breed.

Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoe-belheinrich gave the department’s version of the story, which falls in line with the witnesses and Walker family said happened.

The variation between the two stories takes place after the first shot was fired.

The family said the dog retreated after Henniger shot the dog. Hoe-belheinrich said that after the offi-cer shot the dog, it did not retreat but instead came back to attack

the officer again. When the dog charged the officer a second time, Henniger fired again at the dog, af-ter which it finally retreated to the family’s front yard.

Some of the Walkers’ neighbors have different accounts on what kind of dog Dozzer was.

Eric McDowell has lived across the street from the Walkers for three or four months and admitted he was hesitant to be around Dozz-er at first but said he felt comfort-able once he got to know him. He said he allowed his 1-year-old son, Carter, to be around Dozzer.

“He was a good dog. He really was a good dog,” McDowell said. “He played with my kid. I babysat him, and I would come over here, by myself, and let him out of his kennel at night. He was just a good dog in general.”

Pline shared a different view of her family’s interactions with Dozzer.

“There was something wrong with that dog, whether they ad-mit it or not,” Pline said. “They’ve been telling everybody that it’s a big friendly dog, but it keeps getting out of the backyard, and just being out provokes it. It just automatical-ly growls, barks, bares its teeth and comes after you.”

Despite differing neighborhood opinions on the matter, the Walk-ers said they feel like they’ve lost a member of the family. Nathan said the dog was treated like it was just another one of their children, and Michelle said the kids themselves are traumatized by the incident.

They held a funeral for Dozzer last Wednesday at Nathan’s family farm and are planning on taking this fight to the next level.

“I believe that at this point, we are going to pursue legal action — probably, most definitely 100 per-cent. Because of the situation with the kids being there — not because the dog’s dead, not because he shot the dog, (but) because he shot a firearm in such close proximity to kids and missed,” Nathan said.

According to Title 2, Chapter 13.0303 of the city ordinance, a dog is considered at large if it is not confined within a motor vehicle, not in direct custody of the owner in a specified manner, not on a leash six feet long or less when off the owner’s property, or is not properly confined to the owner’s premises.

ShootingContinued from Page 1A

LaVera was arrested June 10. Ac-cording to court documents, he en-gaged in inappropriate conversation of a sexual nature with the Baxter girl on Facebook while knowing she was a mi-nor and persuaded her to meet him that day at the Baxter Community School Park, where he allegedly touched her inappropriately on the buttocks before luring her into his vehicle and driving around the Baxter area, according to court documents.

Authorities were notified of the in-cident at 1:28 p.m., and a concerned citizen aware of the situation observed the girl in LaVera’s vehicle shortly af-ter. The person stopped the vehicle and told the girl to get out. LaVera left the scene and was apprehended a short time later. During a search of his vehicle, authorities found a sword ex-ceeding eight inches in length and four double-edged daggers within his reach. He has been charged with enticement of a minor, a Class D felony; carrying weapons, an aggravated misdemeanor; and failure to have a valid driver’s li-cense, a simple misdemeanor.

Callaghan and NCSD Business Manager Gayle Isaac presented the board with several options for ways the board can consider improving the dis-trict’s visitor protocol for the upcom-ing school year. One suggestion that seemed to gain the most traction was implementing a program from Raptor Technologies.

According to Raptor, more than 10,000 schools, YMCAs and commu-nity centers use its program. The com-pany also says its program has identi-fied more than 10,000 sex offenders who’ve tried to enter one of those fa-cilities.

With Raptor, all visitors would be required to provide some form of valid state identification — including par-ents. The system would then scan the ID and cross-reference a person with the National Sex Offender Registry list.

Callaghan said a discussion was held last year with the district’s adminis-trators on requiring visitor’ to present IDs, but it was decided against for rea-sons of convenience for parents.

“Parents without state IDs or driv-

er’s licenses are concerned. Well, it’s much less of a concern to me to say we should require all individuals to have some form of state identification. It is the law of our land. It is an expecta-tion,” Callaghan said.

“I realize that people may not want to have that. I’m sorry that they don’t want to have some form of state ID, but we need to have that for the safety of our children.”

If a visitor passes a Raptor check, the system would print the visitor a temporary photo ID badge that indi-cates the time and date of their visit to a specific building.

Isaac estimated installing the sys-tem at all seven of the district’s cam-puses would cost between $13,000 to $15,000 initially, and more than $2,500 annually for supplies to main-tain the system. If the board chooses this measure down the line, Isaac said it could be paid for with Physical Plant and Equipment Levy funds or Capitol Improvement funds.

In order to come up with a solution, a sub-committee made up of Isaac, board president Andy Elbert and board members Travis Padget, Donna Cook and Nat Clark was formed. The district will also be increasing the number of cameras in school buildings.

A timetable was not set, but the new measures are expected to be imple-mented before the first day of school Aug. 19.

Callaghan indicated that even if the district had already had this system in place, there were no warning signs that LaVera was capable of the things he has been accused of. He said law en-forcement agencies have verified La-Vera had no criminal history and that if he had, the various media outlets in attendance would have reported it.

The district’s school resource officer, Brian Foster, gave his thoughts on se-curity in the schools.

“I think throughout my year and a half in the schools, I think that the school district has done a great job with security,” Foster said. “I think our safety is good. I think we’ve done a great job. I can’t speak of this latest incident — I wasn’t much part of it — but beyond that we’ve done a great job.”

DEAR ABBY: My 19-year-old sister died two years ago from an overdose. I’m 13. We were very close when we were little, but during the four years before she passed away, my parents didn’t want us around each other for fear of her rubbing off on me, and she wasn’t home half the time anyway. A year earlier she went to rehab, and I remember talking with her about how she was clean for good and then ...

It’s just so lonely! All my friends have sisters and brothers and I don’t, and I’m bored all the time. My par-ents work a lot, so I’m home alone at least three times a week, and al-though I’ve got friends and sports, I’m just really alone.

It’s awkward going out to dinner or going on vacation because my par-ents just want to sit and relax, and I want to go out and do things, but it’s embarrassing going everywhere with your parents. I miss having her around. — ALONE IN OHIO

DEAR ALONE: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your sis-ter. You are still grieving, which is why you say you feel alone. However, if you think about it, because of her addiction, she has been out of your life for longer than two years. It may be that what you’re really mourning is the relationship you MIGHT have had.

You say you have friends. If you listen to them talk, you may find that they, too, sometimes feel alone even if they have siblings. Many teenag-ers have told me this. Because you’re bored when you’re not with your friends or participating in sports, consider finding a hobby that will fill your time when your parents are working, or do some volunteering if they agree.

You might also consider adopting

a pet from a shelter to keep you com-pany. Of course, pets require feeding, training, affection and exercise, but in return they offer unconditional love and companionship. If it would be all right with your parents, it might be a solution for you.

DEAR ABBY: I met a guy online. We have been dating for some time now. We have a wonderful connec-tion and have our dates on Skype. The problem is, we have never met in person.

Every time we plan on meeting, he shuts up for a time, isn’t reachable, then suddenly reappears and makes excuses, asking me to forgive him and plan another meeting. Should I still believe this will happen anytime soon? — LEFT HANGING IN NAIROBI

DEAR LEFT HANGING: I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad tid-ings, but something smells fishy here. “Catfishy.” From where I sit, it ap-pears your wonderful connection may be only your connection to the Inter-net. A person who does this repeat-edly may not be who he has repre-sented himself to be. Do not count on him for ANYthing.

Hay and forage expo starts Wednesday

Hay and forage producers can learn more about hay and forage production at this year’s annual Hay & Forage Expo.

The 28th annual Hay & Forage Expo will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 26, at the Cen-tral Iowa Expo facility near Boone, Iowa. The site is located west of I-35 on Highway 30 and the show’s website features a map and detailed driving directions.

Live field demonstrations of hay making, hay handling and forage harvesting are the key draw for visitors. The two-day event showcas-es mowing, conditioning, baling and hay han-dling demonstrations on alfalfa. Visitors can compare the various equipment brands side by side under actual field conditions.

Alfalfa fields designated for parking dur-ing the Farm Progress Show will be used for the haying and forage harvesting demonstra-tions. That means around 150 acres of alfalfa is available for the demos.

In addition to the field demonstrations, ex-hibitors on the exhibit field will inform more about the equipment that is operated in the field as well as other manufactures who are not demonstrating.

Each show day will feature an informa-tive seminar. “Weather Outlook for 2014 and Beyond” will be presented Wednesday by El-wynn Taylor, Iowa State Univ. Ext. Climatol-ogist. “Corn Stover — Managing and Selling Biomass to a Cellulosic Biorefinery” will be presented Thursday by Matt Darr, assoc. pro-fessor, Iowa State Univ., Dept. of Agricultural and Biosystems.

Admission is free and parking is $10 per vehicle.

The public is welcome. For more informa-tion, visit www.HayExpo.com or call (866) 264-7469.

Farmland leasing meeting planned

Iowa State University Extension and Out-reach is conducting farmland leasing meetings across 12 different site in Central Iowa during late July and August.

The Newton meeting will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, August 5, at the Newton DMACC Campus, located at 600 N. Second Ave. W.

Topics covered include: Iowa cash rental rate survey and land values survey; compari-son of different types of leases; writing and terminating a farm lease; impacts of yields and price; calculating a fair cash rent; the New Farm Program: ARC vs. PLC enrollment de-cisions; use of spreadsheets to compare leases; crop cost and margin estimates for 2015 and ISU Extension resources.

“These meetings are designed to help landowners, tenants and other agri-business professionals with current issues related to farmland ownership, management, and leas-ing agreements,” said Steve Johnson, farm and agriculture business management specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach.

Meetings will last approximately three hours long and will be facilitated by Johnson. Registration is required at least two days be-fore the meeting and a $20 per individual or $30 per couple fee is payable at the door. Reg-istrants will also receive a 100-page booklet containing farmland leasing information.

For more information, contact Allyson Parman at (641) 792-6433.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsJasper County Conservation Office Naturalist Katie Cantu holds one of the millions of the rarely seen 17 year ci-cadas last week at Ashton Observatory near Baxter. Cantu says the cicada will only be around for a few more weeks and won’t return until 2031.

Rarely seen insects in Jasper County

If you heard their distinguished tones re-cently, then you know that cicadas are back in full force. However, what you might not know is that these aren’t your typical cicadas.

“These are the 17-year cicadas,” Jasper County Conservation Naturalist Katie Cantu explained. “That means that their nymph, or larva stage, has been down in the ground, and they’re just emerging, making them one of the longest lived insects in the world.”

The cicadas live un-derground for 17 years, feeding off of tree root sap, before they emerge. When they do emerge, they come in full force. Cantu said literally mil-lions of them come out when they exit the nymph stage.

According to her re-

search, there can be a million and a half cicadas per acre, which amounts to almost 40,000 cicadas in one tree.

Cicadas have a very distinct look as well as sound.

“They’ve got bright red bulgy eyes. Their wings, the outline of their wings and the veins, it’s kind of a bright cop-per color, and they look a little bit different than the ones you see coming out every year,” Cantu said.

Cantu gave a brief summary on the cicadas’ life cycle.

“They crawl out of the ground up onto a tree, and they split open their old shell or their old skin, and they be-come an adult. They’re only adults for five to six weeks, so they’re only going to be around five to six weeks tops,” Cantu said.

“They mate, they lay

eggs in the tree branches and then they die, but their eggs hatch, and these new nymphs come out. They drop down to the ground, burrow, and they are there for anoth-er 17 years.”

Cantu said they do this ritual to survive our ever changing climate, but why they do it for 17 years exactly is still a mystery. She can explain how and why the cicadas are so noisy.

“Their singing, I guess, is a noise they make by rubbing togeth-er — it’s like two drums located on the sides of their body. They kind of vibrate those drums and they get this high pitched sound and their wings form kind of al-most like a mega phone to project the sound out — which makes them so loud,” Cantu said.

She said male cica-das’ make the sounds as a mating call to attract

females. If females find the male attractive, they fly towards the males and perform a maneu-ver called “the wing flick,” which the males can see and hear. They then chime in with the females to complete the courtship call. They also make the sound when startled.

Cantu suggests visit-ing any heavily wooded area in the county — ci-cadas’ seem to be espe-cially fond of oak — to hear or see these crea-tures. Ashton Observa-tory west of Baxter cur-rently has an abundance of the creatures.

“So it’ll be 2031 when they are out again. (You) don’t want to miss this, because it’ll be a long time until we see them again,” Cantu said.

Majority of crop in good, excellent conditionDES MOINES – Iowa Sec-

retary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the weekly Iowa Crops and Weather report re-leased by the USDA National Agri-cultural Statistical Service.

“Parts of the state, especially Northwest Iowa, are dealing with excess water resulting in pockets of damage from recent severe weath-

er,” Northey said. “Overall, a large majority of our corn and soybeans crops continue in good to excellent condition.”

Temperatures were above normal for the week, while severe storms brought high winds and hail.

Corn condition rated 4 percent poor, 16 percent fair, 58 percent good, and 21 percent excellent.

With almost all of Iowa’s soybean acreage emerged, soybean condition rated 5 percent poor, 18 percent fair, 58 percent good, and 18 percent ex-cellent.

Pasture condition rated 24 per-cent fair, 52 percent good, and 19 percent excellent. Stress on livestock increased this week because of the heat and flooding.

Cardinal teams sweep Eagles

PELLA — Newton’s Car-dinal softball and baseball teams found a cure for what ails them just 28 miles to the south Monday.

The Cardinal squads came off a couple stinging losses from the weekend. They made the trip to Pella Monday to play Pella Christian’s teams in Little Hawkeye Conference games and prevailed on the road.

Newton’s girls got up early

and did not give way, beating the Eagle softball team, 5-2. The Cardinals improved to 4-9 in Little Hawkeye Con-ference play and 5-16 overall.

Newton’s boys shut out the Eagles, 5-0, to get to 6-7 in LHC action and 8-13 overall.

On the softball diamond, Sydney Jenkins had a 4-for-4 night at the plate, driving in a run and scoring a run. Jen-kins hit two singles and two doubles for the Cardinals.

Newton scored twice in the fi rst innings. Lizzie Stock

singled and scored on an RBI single by Jenkins. Jenkins came across the plate when NHS pitcher Ashton Hoff-man connected for a base hit.

Pella Christian scored a run in the third inning. The Car-dinals answered with two runs in the top of the fourth. Alex Hutchinson was hit by a pitch and came home on a double by Kaytlin Ahn. Bailey Davis’ ground-out scored Ahn.

Leading 4-1, the Cardinals gave up another run to the Eagles in the bottom of the fourth. They got it back in the seventh. With two gone, Kari Adams drew a walk and Jenkins singled. Madison Bargnall reached on an error, allowing Adams to score.

Pella Christian got a lead-off hit in the seventh, but Hoffman and the Cardinals retired the next three bat-ters to shut down the threat. Hoffman picked up the win in the circle, allowing three hits, walking one, hitting two batters and striking one out.

Ahn had a single and a double in the contest for Newton. Stock and Hoffman each had a single.

NEWTON’S BASE-BALL team got strong pitch-ing from starter Chandler Sturtz and Michael Barr to limit the Eagles to six hits and no runs. Sturtz went four scoreless innings for the win, scattering fi ve hits and strik-ing one out. Barr threw three innings of one-hit ball and walking two.

Pella Christian had runners on base throughout the game, but the Cardinals worked around them making the necessary plays for outs. Newton scored two runs in the fi rst inning, then added single runs in the third, fourth

and seventh innings.Bryce Tish was hit by a

pitch to start the game and moved to second on a sacrifi ce bunt by Sturtz. Evan Shimon, who was 2-for-3 with two RBIs on the night, doubled to right fi eld to produce the fi rst run. Connor Gholson, run-ning for Shimon, advanced to third on a ground-out by Derek Wrage. Gholson came home on a passed ball.

In the third inning, Sturtz helped himself with a one-out triple and scored on a sacrifi ce fl y ball by Shimon. With two gone in the fourth, Mike McCormick and Jeff Stanton had back-to-back singles. Tish reached on an Eagle error allowing McCor-mick to scamper home.

Again in the seventh, the Cardinals rallied for a run

with two gone and benefi tted from a Pella Christian error. Jordan Travis drew a base-on-balls followed by a single by Wood. An errant throw on the play gave Travis time to bolt home for the fi fth run of the game.

Shimon had two doubles in the game while Sturtz hit a single and a triple. McCor-mick connected for two sin-gles. Wood and Stanton each had a single.

Newton’s softball and base-ball teams are back in Little Hawkeye Conference action Wednesday at home. The Cardinals host Knoxville in doubleheaders at Berg Mid-dle School for the softball team, starting at 6 p.m., and at Woodland Park for the base-ball team, starting at 5:30 p.m.

PRAIRIE CITY — Dillon Brux-voort reinvented the hidden ball trick Monday night.

No pick-off throw was used in his rendition but rather a towering home run lost in the night sky. Bruxvoort drilled a head-high pitch with one out in the bottom of the seventh in-ning that landed unseen by many over the right-center field fence, eliciting a delayed celebration by the Prairie City-Monroe Mustangs and a 3-1 win against South Hamilton.

“I shouldn’t have swung at it be-cause it was above my head,” Brux-voort said. “When I hit it, I saw it go up, but I never saw it come down. I was just running the bases because the outfielders looked like they had no clue where the ball went and then all the guys started running on the field so I figured it was a homer.”

PCM first base coach Jeff Lindsay was the first to verbalize what every-one soon realized immediately follow-ing Bruxvoort’s blast. Lindsay shout-ed, “They don’t see it” from the coach’s box, sending pinch-runner Ron Mar-shall, who had initially headed back to second base to tag up on the play, towards home for the winning run.

Bruxvoort, who ran hard through first base on his way to second, slowed down and then raised his arms over his head before reaching third as his team-mates, now realizing they had won the game after Lindsay announced the ball was gone, cued the senior he had delivered a walk-off home run.

“When I looked out there and [the center fielder and right fielder] both

stood in their place and they put their hands up looking up in the air, I saw neither of them were going to get to it,” Lindsay said. “I yelled, ‘Run, run, they don’t see it,’ and then I saw it land over the fence and said, ‘Game over. It doesn’t matter anyway.’”

Both South Hamilton center field-er JD Redar and right fielder Nate McSparin, the nearest to the ball on the play, acknowledged after the game they never saw the ball in flight until it was past them.

“Right as it hit the bat, I didn’t even see it ... I was just running back and

we couldn’t see it. We just kind of went like this to each other,” McSpa-rin said, raising his hands, palms up, towards his shoulders.

Added Redar: “I had no idea where it was ... As soon as it hit the ground, I heard it.”

Bruxvoort’s two-run homer re-warded sophomore pitcher Austin Brown with a win for his stellar per-formance. Brown threw a complete-game three-hitter and struck out nine, his highest total since fanning 14 in the season opener.

The walk-off home run capped

what was mostly a pitcher’s duel Mon-day night. South Hamilton starter Trey Woodall also lasted seven innings on the mound in his longest outing of the season.

Woodall also allowed only three hits. The first gave PCM a 1-0 lead when Mustang senior Glenn Gillespie drilled a solo home run well beyond the left-center field fence in the sec-ond inning.

South Hamilton tied the game two innings later on a squeeze bunt by Landon Quam that scored Redar from third.

Brown sustained that tie when South Hamilton threatened in the sixth. The lefty stranded Caleb Olson on third base to end the inning after Olson reached third with only one out.

That helped set the scene for the seventh, which started with Gillespie reaching base via a walk before Brux-voort’s homer.

“The ball was probably as high as it was far from what we could tell,” PCM head coach Shaun Hudnut said of Bruxvoort’s home run. “I didn’t even see where it went out. I just assumed it was in the gap and they lost it.”

Bruxvoort, a left-handed batter, didn’t go out for baseball as a sopho-more and junior. He focused on bas-ketball during that time, which he’ll continue playing in college after sign-ing with Northwestern College in March.

“I’ve played at state in basketball and stuff and I’ve hit game-win-ning shots, but this tops all that,” he said. “That was more crazy than any 3-pointer I’ve ever hit, for sure. That was awesome.”

Disappearing act gives PCM walk-off win

MARSHALLTOWN — Tonight is the only appearance of the Deery Brothers IMCA Late Models at Mar-shalltown Speedway during its 50th anniversary season. Also on the card will be IMCA sportmods boasting a $1,000 payday, IMCA stock cars go-ing after a top prize of $500, and the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks.

The pit gates open at 5 p.m., grand-stands at 5:30 p.m., and hot laps go green at 7 p.m. with racing to follow.

Last week Mother Nature was mean dropping over four inches of rain at the Marshalltown Speedway. How-ever the track crew worked its magic and Wolf Seeds along with Jim’s Johns Challenge Night took place.

The IMCA sport compacts six-lap feature was won by David Moorman. Aaron Miller, who led the first three laps, finished second. John Gill expe-rienced transmission problems in the staging area leaving only two cars in the race.

Jimmy May claimed his second win of the season in the 15-lap mod lites’ feature race. May wrangled the lead away from Charlie Brown on Lap 10. Andy Hennigar tried to overtake May, but settled in to second, Brown was third, Eric Hendrickson fourth and Daniel Keltner fifth.

Rookie Andy Hick grabbed the early lead in the 12-lap IMCA hobby stocks feature, but it was Eric Stan-

ton and Austin Luellen battling for the lead at the end. Stanton won by a bumper at the finish line over Luellen. John Watson ran third followed by Hick in fourth place and Brice Udel-hoven in fifth.

The IMCA Northern SportMods feature normally runs 18 laps but would go 25 laps because Clint Luel-len, the only heat race winner to take the challenge. Luellen had a shot at a bonus of $500 if he could win. Bran-don Williams denied Luellen that bo-nus, winning for the first time at Mar-shalltown. Sam Wieben came across the line in second place. Luellen, Je-nae Gustin and Carter VanDenBerg rounded out the top five.

Donavon Smith held off the field to pick up his seventh win of the sea-son in the IMCA stock car feature. The final 16 laps of the 23-lap race, which is usually 18 laps, ran caution free. Jared Daggett, one of two drivers to take the challenge, spun out in turn four, bringing out an early caution.

Steve Meyer finished second mean-while Michael Jaennette, the other to take the challenge, finished third Dave Atcher and Daggett finish fourth and fifth respectively.

The final feature of the night was the IMCA modifieds race. It also saw two drivers — Ronn Lauritzen and Tyler Droste — win their heat races and choose to go the tail for a $1,000 bonus as it went unclaim in the previ-ous three divisions.

Rookie Joel Rust and Luke Wan-ninger battled for the lead most of the way. Wanninger took the lead for good on Lap 21. Rust, Lauritzen, Adam Larson and Racer Hulin rounded out the top five.

This Friday is Shawn’s Custom Hay Grinding Night at the races. Hot Laps at 6:45 p.m. and racing at 7:30pm.

Newton Daily News Jasper County Advertiser newtondailynews.com

Astrograph

You don’t have to be a bank robber or a bun-gee jumper to know the value of adrenaline. Mars and Uranus engage in a cosmic tug of war increasing our need and tolerance for excitement. The Gemini moon sug-gests that there’s great potential for excitement in simply striking up a conversation with a stranger.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 24). You have the support of those close to you, but influences outside of your immedi-ate circle will be the key to your success in July. A mentor will help you understand just how far you’ve come and also help you celebrate this success. The travel you do for work will bring love into your life. August brings a wind-fall. Leo and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 11, 24 and 15.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Boring people are usually bored. Interesting people are usually inter-ested. You fall in the last category and should be

careful to seek the same from your companions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As the saying goes, choose your battles. Note that the saying does not suggest that you choose only large battles. Some of the small battles well fought will prevent the large ones from occur-ring.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are so many reasons to spend time with the people who appreciate you “as is,” not the least of which is that you won’t have to constantly edit yourself, which, as you know, gets exhausting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Part of what makes a game fun is not know-ing who is going to win. Uneven matches quickly get dull. On a related note, your personal life will be as satisfying as it is challenging.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The success or failure of your actions is irrelevant. What’s important is that you follow through, honoring

your strong convictions. Action increases your confidence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While investigating, trust your more spontaneous instincts. If you want un-predictable answers, you have to ask the unpredict-able questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).Offer your gifts without expectation of who will enjoy them — you’ll be surprised who does. Tonight features silliness among friends, and you’ll count yourself among the truly happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Expectations work best when you’re in a predicable place. But when you’re in a completely new situa-tion, it’s best to let go of your ideas of how things should be and just take in what is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Socially, you are exceptionally sharp and will remain present to what the moment needs. This quality alone makes

you so attractive that you’ll have to manage the attention you get.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Stick close to your moral center, as there will be those around you who veer off. It’s better to make someone mad by doing what’s right than to make them happy by doing what’s wrong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No music? Start the dance anyway and let the music catch up. In other words, don’t wait around for the good time to start. It starts when you decide it does.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As waitstaff the world over can at-test, hungry people are meaner than satisfied people. It’s hard to be patient when you don’t have what you need. But this is the patience that defines stellar character.
