SAMs model possibly coming to two local schools By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer With the loss of two instructional coaches and an assistant principal be- coming a principal, the Newton Com- munity School District is exploring ways to compensate for those vacant positions within its K-3 buildings. At Monday’s board of education meeting, Associate Director of Ele- mentary Services Jim Gilbert present- ed a solution the board in the form of the School Administration Manger program. According to the education- al organization School Administrators of Iowa, a SAM program would turn building principals into instructional leaders for their schools. “The purpose of having a SAM gives us a very similar result to having an instructional coach,” Gilbert said. Gilbert said he talked to Berg and Thomas Jefferson elementary school principals, Jolene Comer and Lisa Sharp, respectively, and both are eager to give the program a shot. If the district went into that direc- tion, the plan for the program is for the SAM to handle a majority of the non-instructional duties for Sharp and Comer so that they can focus more on the academic aspect of their jobs. According to the district’s job posting of the two SAM positions, the SAMs would manage activities, coordinate building facilities and transportation needs, handle minor disciplinary measures and handle non-instructional student supervision. Superintendent Bob Callaghan said that the salaries for the two in- structional coaches and former as- sistant principal last year was around $252,000 combined. He said with two SAMS, that cost could range from $125,000 to $140,000 a provide a sav- ings of more than $100,000. He also emphasized that this would be a way for the district to develop its future leaders internally and that 22 people had applied for the job so far. Callaghan said they had received only one application for the instructional coach positions that were posted. A number of board members ques- tioned the necessity of this program and wanted clarification if this job would be considered an administrative position. Callaghan said that it was sort of an in-between type of position. Police chief: Proper procedures followed in dog shooting incident By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelhein- rich said Tuesday he believes his officers have been properly trained to handle calls involving potentially dangerous animal situations and when they should fire their service weapons. Hoebelheinrich’s comments come a week after Newton Police Department Lt. Bill Henniger was involved in an incident in which he shot a pit bull after respond- ing to a report of a dog running loose June 16. While the incident itself has sparked discussion among members of the com- munity, a lot of discourse has centered on Henniger firing his service weapon twice, and with the second shot being unaccount- ed for. “Obviously, they are only supposed to use their service weapon when it’s justified. That means either the protection of the of- ficer, protection of a victim, protection of anybody. And everyone knows that once that bullet goes out, that officer is respon- sible (for) where it goes,” Hoebelheinrich said. “So they have to be careful that they know what’s in the background, whose in line of sight … and we are trained on that every year. All the officers have been trained on that … Again, if an officer is in danger, if a citizen is in danger, we are go- ing to use the weapon when it’s justified — and from everything I’ve seen at this point, it was justified.” When Henniger fired his weapon last week, he was responding to a call about a large dog roaming the 300 block of North Third Avenue East. The caller stated the dog had cornered a man who was pushing a baby in a stroller. The Walker family, which owned the dog that was shot and later died, and NPD have different versions of what happened in reference to the second shot. The Walkers stated their dog was retreating after Henni- ger shot it the first time. They say the officer then fired again as the dog was retreating toward their 7-year-old daughter.

Newton Kart Klub building tradition of family, friends, racing

By Zach Johnson Daily New Staff Writer

Last weekend, Newton Kart Klub hosted a week-end of kart racing with the CRI KartStars of the Heartland Series.

“We’re a Midwest tour-ing series for National caliber kart racing,” CRI KartStars of the Heart-land Series Director John O’Neal said. “Our symbol represents wheat, which recognizes all the hard working farmers that sup-port the Midwest. We race in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota — at all the local community tracks.”

NKK has been building and creating a family rac-ing tradition for the sport of kart racing for more than 40 years. The sport of kart-ing has been used as a plat-form for many drivers of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as well as NASCAR legends, with many of them having a history of karting here in Newton.

“Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray, Landon Castle, Michael Annette and many

more have raced here at Newton and are examples of the greatness that comes from the sport of karting,” O’Neal said.

The addition of NAS-CAR in Newton has O’Neal excited for the fu-ture of karting locally and for the opportunities for young kart drivers aspiring to go to the next level.

“I am a past NASCAR champion, so I know first-hand what exactly this could provide for young children who have dreams of going to the next level,” O’Neal said. “We have had eight competitors make it to the NASCAR Sprint Cup race level that actually

raced here in Newton.”Newton is recognized

as being a successful track throughout its 40-year his-tory by constantly improv-ing the track, being minutes away from Des Moines and having unique aspects that are unlike any other track in the country.

“I couldn’t think of a better place to hold our na-tional event than right here in Newton. All the history and all the good racing this track provides makes us proud and happy to be a part of this track,” O’Neal said.

SAMs model possibly coming to two local schools

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

With the loss of two instructional coaches and an assistant principal be-coming a principal, the Newton Com-munity School District is exploring ways to compensate for those vacant positions within its K-3 buildings.

At Monday’s board of education meeting, Associate Director of Ele-mentary Services Jim Gilbert present-ed a solution the board in the form of the School Administration Manger program. According to the education-al organization School Administrators of Iowa, a SAM program would turn building principals into instructional leaders for their schools.

Supervisors approve changes to county VA director salary structureBy Ty Rushing

Daily News Senior Staff Writer

A few weeks ago, the Jas-per County Commission of Veterans Affairs had a clear objective: to ensure that the county’s current direc-tor of Veteran’s Affairs Chris Chartier had a future in Jas-per County.

On Tuesday, and with the aid of Jasper County Human

Resources Director Dennis Si-mon, the commission present-ed the Jasper County Board of Supervisors with a resolution to place Chartier back into the county’s department head pay plan program.

“We weren’t looking for a large increase but would like to get him into a step progression, where over a period of time we could increase his wages a little more respectably,” Simon said.

Simon said he and the com-mission researched the best model for growth for Chartier and felt placing him into Range 14, Step 2 in the county’s de-partment head pay plan was the right fit.

“We weren’t here really looking for a raise but only to a future,” JCCVA spokesman John Billingsley said.

The plan Simon and the commission presented the

board showed a slightly more than $500 difference between what he was scheduled to make in the 2014-2015 fiscal year and what they would like to see him at, but it would set him up for future advancement.

The board approved the res-olution and Chartier will make $47,004 in FY15.

Researcher charged in major HIV vaccine fraud caseIOWA CITY (AP) — Re-

sponding to a major case of re-search misconduct, federal pros-ecutors have taken the rare step of filing charges against a scien-tist after he admitted falsifying data that led to millions in grants and hopes of a breakthrough in AIDS vaccine research.

Investigators say former Iowa State University laboratory manager Dong-Pyou Han has confessed to spiking samples of rabbit blood with human anti-bodies to make an experimental HIV vaccine appear to have great promise. After years of work and millions in National Institutes of Health grants, another labora-tory uncovered irregularities that suggested the results — once hailed as groundbreaking — were bogus.

Han was indicted last week on four counts of making false state-ments, each of which carries up to five years in prison. He was set to be arraigned Tuesday in Des Moines, but he didn’t show up due to an apparent paperwork mix-up. A prosecutor said Han will be given another chance to appear next week.

Han, 57, didn’t return a mes-

sage left at his home in Cleve-land, where he’s been living since resigning from the university last fall. A native of South Korea, he surrendered his passport follow-ing his arrest and initial court ap-pearance in Ohio last week.

Experts said the fraud was ex-traordinary and that charges are rarely brought in such cases. The National Institutes of Health said it’s reviewing what impact the case has had on the research it funds.

“It’s an important case because it is extremely rare for scientists found to have committed fraud to be held accountable by the actual criminal justice system,” said Ivan Oransky, co-founder of Retraction Watch, which tracks research misconduct.

Oransky, a journalist who also has a medical degree, said there have been only a handful of simi-lar prosecutions in the last 30 years.

He said Han’s case was “par-ticularly brazen” and noted that charges are rarely brought be-cause the U.S. Office of Research Integrity, which investigates mis-conduct, doesn’t have prosecution authority, and most cases involve

smaller amounts of money.“It’s a pretty extraordinary case

involving clear, intentional falsi-fication,” added Mike Carome, a consumer advocate and direc-tor of Public Citizen’s Health Research Group. “The wool was pulled over many people’s eyes.”

Carome noted that Han’s mis-conduct wasted tax dollars and caused researchers to chase a false lead. He said such cases also undermine the public’s trust in researchers.

Finding an HIV vaccine re-mains a top international sci-entific priority. A 2009 study in Thailand is the only one ever to show a modest success, protect-ing about a third of recipients against infection. That’s not good enough for general use, so researchers continue exploring numerous approaches.

According to the indictment, Han’s misconduct caused col-leagues to make false statements in a federal grant application and progress reports to NIH.

The NIH paid out $5 million under that grant as of earlier this month. Iowa State has agreed to pay back NIH nearly $500,000 for the cost of Han’s salary.

Elloitt girls use birthday party to collection donations for JCARL

Submitted PhotoThe Elliott girls — 10-year-old Justine, 6-year-old Gracie and 4-year-old Lexi Jo — had a joint birthday party Sunday at the Christian Conference Center and asked family and friends to bring donations for the Jasper County Animal Rescue League rather than gifts for themselves.

Friday, July 4, 2014, will mark a special occasion. A ceremony will be held on the courthouse lawn to dedicate the new me-morials erected in honor of all veterans of Jasper County. A seven-member committee has been working diligently over the past 10 months to help make this dream become a reality.

Bricks were sold until last November, and the names of 702 local vet-erans will be displayed. That number includes 98 Jasper County men who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. Their bricks will be highlighted in red and were placed at no cost to the family or loved ones.

There also will be bricks honoring the three Jasper County residents that have earned the Congressional Medal of Honor — Edward Bebb of Lynnville, Joseph Stickels of Monroe and Herschel “Pete” Briles of Col-fax. The memorials will consist of six pan-els that contain 117 bricks each. There will also be a Memorial Rock that will be painted with patriotic themed murals. The rock will sit on a four foot granite riser. There will be a five foot granite monument inscribed with all six branches of the service. It will include the statement, “This monument is dedicated to all veterans of Jasper County who have served in both peacetime and war.” They will be guarded by two bronze sculpted eagles on black granite columns.

The dedication ceremony will take place at noon immediately following the parade. The keynote address will be conducted by Betty Southern Atwood. Mrs. Atwood, formerly of rural Mingo, will be speaking in honor of her two brothers, Lowell and Deane South-ern. The brothers were both killed in action just weeks apart in Italy during World War II. It will mark almost 70 years to the month that they paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we enjoy today. The commit-tee — consisting of veterans Bob Thorson, Marvin Morris, Keith Thorpe, Chris Chart-ier, Wallace Schermerhorn and Marta Ford — will complete the itinerary. The American Legion, VFW and Vietnam Veteran color guards will post the colors and fire a 21-gun salute in honor of the deceased to end the program.

On behalf of the committee, we would like to thank all who have donated to this very worthy cause. The memorials are com-pletely funded by donations from businesses and individuals. This memorial complex will complement the memorial that was erected 20 years ago and will serve as a living re-minder of the sacrifices made on our behalf by so many of our fellow citizens.

The First Amendment

A few weeks ago, I spoke on my affection for public speaking. Something else I’ve really come to enjoy, and want to do more of, is volunteering. However, for some reason, when it comes to volunteering outdoors, my tim-ing is just terrible.

T w o weeks ago, at the Jasper County Re-lay for Life ceremony, I was one of the many people who volunteered to be in the dunk tank. Since I was also covering the event, I scheduled my shift for later in the evening. If you re-call, the low that day was 50 and the high was about 75 degrees.

So, as you can imagine, by the time I got in the tank around 8:30 p.m., not only was the wa-ter freezing, but the air was start-ing to get a bit nippy. Still, I re-mained somewhat hopeful that all of the prior dunk tank vic-tims — I mean volunteers — had warmed the water up enough that it wouldn’t affect me so much.

Armed with my illogical wishful thinking on the mat-ter, I decided to ham it up and go full-scale super villain to at-tract a bigger crowd for my line. With the events co-MC Mar-shall Critchfield serving as my interviewer, I got on the micro-phone and delivered a diaboli-cal, boo rendering, WWE style monologue that Ric Flair and ’80s action movie villains would approve of.

I essentially told the crowd there wasn’t a single person in

H.A. Lynn Stadium capable of hitting the target to dunk me, and that I would be just as dry at the end of the night as I was at the beginning of it.

I may have even personally challenged a Vietnam veteran, a kid with broken fingers and an 82-year-old cancer survivor to do their worst. (Note: This was all done in jest).

After all my trash talking, and having Marshall repeatedly broadcast that I was going in the tank, I shouldn’t have been sur-prised by the results. By the time I arrived back at the tank, the line seemed to resemble that of a popular ride at a theme park.

I looked over at how soaked Nathan Unsworth was sitting on the tank’s platform, and I real-ized I was truly about to pay the piper for all of my trash talk. He and I swapped places, and he let me know just how cold the water was and how much fun I was go-ing to have freezing.

As I looked down at the line, the aforementioned Vietnam veteran, Paul Brown, was first in line, and he had a $20. If I recall, it was like $1 or $2 per throw. So as I got ready to em-brace my upcoming cold, cold faith, I studied the line and saw so many familiar faces. There was Dot, the 82-year-old I was trad-ing barbs with, the kid with the broken fingers (who went four for four when throwing at Na-than), a lot of other eager kids and my treacherous colleague, Zach Johnson.

The next half hour of my life became of blur of me heckling the thrower followed by me go-ing under water, mouth agape and sampling the refreshing tastes that the slobber and tears the four previous men left for me

in the tank.Although I was freezing, I took

satisfaction in being able to sacri-fice my body’s warmth and taste buds to aide cancer research. I was also pleased to see that many of the small children had better arms than Zach, who somehow never managed to hit the target — he literally just bum rushed the bulls eye for his dunks.

When it was all said and done, I couldn’t stop shaking from the cold. This however, didn’t stop me from eating some free frozen custard from Culver’s. With my body temperature already being low, this was a terrible idea but it was, I repeat, “FREE FROZEN CUSTARD.”

While the weather wasn’t ideal for getting wet, my all-time re-cord for cold volunteering took place when Zach, Chris Chartier and I bell rung for the Salvation Army on Christmas Eve last year. The recorded low that day was -14, not including wind chill.

In actuality, my dunk tank ad-venture should be considered a “warm up.”

I’ve also found myself sweat-ing up a storm on multiple oc-casions, getting destroyed by grannies on a basketball court and being chased by children, all while seeking to perform a good deed.

Volunteering is an easy way to give back, and it’s a lot easier than public speaking — I still can’t fathom the fear of it. Another bonus of volunteering: On what other occasion can you trash talk a child, a vet and a senior citizen, and it’s all in good fun?

Guest Commentary

To the editor:A June 5 article in the Jasper County Tribune

continued the tradition of the past 50-60 years of schools using the news media to misrepresent student proficiency, thus misleading the public as to the quality of work these public institutions are doing. The way the con has worked during the past 5-6 decades is the dumbing down of the assessment tests every three to four years.

Without disclosing this dumbing down of the assessments, school officials report increased student proficiency. Lower and lower standards make it easy for school officials to fake increased proficiencies! This is how public schools got so far behind grade level the last several decades, without the public knowing about it.

The news media has several roles in our sys-tem of self-government, and one of those roles is watchdog for government. This means that media failure to include the dumbing down of assess-ment tests, and explaining Iowa’s low Proficiency Standard, in an article about student proficien-

cies, is an abandonment of this watchdog role.Following in past tradition, the Jasper Coun-

ty Tribune failed to report in its June 5 article touting increased student proficiencies for Col-fax-Mingo and Baxter schools the following: 1) Iowa’s use of the pathetically low 41st NPR as the Proficiency Standard rather than the 65th NPR for grade level (used by many other states and being surpassed by other countries); and 2) the fact that the assessments had been dumbed down (which a school board or media check of the Iowa Dept. of Education would quickly dis-close). These failures meant the media was aiding and abetting a public school con on the public by the public schools — in an attempt to appear bet-ter than they really are.

Actually being better would be preferable, but those in public education today have no idea how to go about this. They should really be reading the National Council on Teacher Quality reports and learning what they did not learn in school because they, themselves, are products of a proven loser of a system.

Henniger stated, in his incident report, that he fired his first shot in self-defense after he kicked the dog as it was barking and lung-ing at him. His report says the dog bit him in his right shin, and that’s when he drew his weapon and fired a round into the dog.

“The dog continued at me in the same man-ner, and I fired a sec-ond round, strong hand only, which missed,” Henniger wrote. “The dog began to whimper and walked approxi-mately 15 yards away to the north side of the al-ley, where it stood and was obviously in pain.”

Hoebelheinrich said an investigation is still ongoing. However, he feels the fact that Hen-niger was bit and had to go to the emergen-cy room justifies the shooting.

“The dog had at-tacked the officer sev-eral times, and he did all he could with the commands, kicking at the dog … and at some point, the only way of stopping that dog of doing any more harm to him, whether it was the officer or someone else, the dog had to be stopped at that time,

because it was what we call ‘vicious,’ absolute-ly. That’s why he did shoot it,” Hoebelhein-rich said.

“Again, there was no damage, no collateral damage with the shots being fired. It didn’t hit anybody. So the officers are cognizant of when they fire their weapons. There are no ‘no shoot-ing zones’ out there. If it ’s needed, it ’s needed.”

The question has arisen on the depart-ment’s current proto-cols in terms of large animals and whether NPD officers been properly trained to deal with these types of sit-uations.

“Right now, we are not making any chang-es. We did have de-partment-wide training last fall on how to deal with vicious animals, and we were trained by someone with the ani-mal rescue league state-wide,” Hoebelheinrich said. “They came and trained our officers on this type of incident, and we are still going through it to make sure our policies are up-to-date, and that we fol-lowed policy.

“But at this moment, there is nothing to in-dicate that there was a failure in policy, and we’re going to continue talking to every officer and everyone involved.

Again, if a policy needs changing, we’ll do it. If it stands good, then we are going to leave our policy as is, and right now, I don’t have any-thing that says we will be changing it.”

Hoebelheinrich ad-vises citizens to fol-low the city’s ordi-nances in regards to pet ownership. A copy can be found at www.newtongov.org/Docu-mentCente r /Home/View/456.

Hoebelheinrich said these types of incidents with dogs at-large have become a “huge thing” for cities everywhere, including Newton. He said his department has taken a proactive stance on the matter.

“If we’re finding dogs at loose, we are going to file citations for animals running at-large, and if they’re not licensed, we will charge them for not having a license or rabies shots. Like anything else, if you drive a car, you have to have respon-sibilities. If you have a pet you have to have responsibility and that means keeping them penned up or leashed up,” he said.

He and Gilbert also emphasized this method would be an equalizer for the buildings, since only Berg had an assistant principal previously.

The district would plan to compare the results it sees with SAM versus the instructional coach model still being used at its 4-6 buildings if they went in that direction going forward.

SAMs was created nationally in 2002 and according to SAI, around 68 districts in Iowa currently partici-pate in the program.

In other business:• The technology purchase public

hearing was rescheduled for 6:45 p.m. Monday July 14.

• NCSD Food Supervisor Cris-ty Croson said due to low demand, HIRTA will only provide rides to the district’s free summer lunch program at Berg only from Aurora Heights, unless otherwise requested.

• Croson said federal regulations have forced school lunch prices to go up next year. For the elementary level, lunches will cost $2.40 and for the secondary level, lunches will cost $2.50. Reduced lunch will remain at 40 cents and breakfast prices will re-main the same.

• Newton Senior High School Principal Bill Peters explained how the district funds its collaboration with DMACC for NHS students to earn college credits while still in high school.

• 2014-2015 student handbooks for all campuses were approved by the board.

• Gilbert provided the results of a teacher survey on building configu-ration. The gist of which was that most Pre-K-6 teachers believed aca-demics should be the most highly considered factor for building layout and not non-academic factors such as location, transportation, number of schools attended and other similar items.

• A student teacher contract with Grinnell College was approved. Cal-laghan estimated the district annually receives five to six student teachers from the college.

• A 28E agreement was approved for the Baxter Community School District to place students in Basics and Beyond Alternative School, if necessary, next year.

• The board approved of the writ-ten version of Callaghan’s evaluation.

Jasper County Engineer Russ Stutt received approval for several items from the board including a contract with the Iowa Depart-ment of Transportation for IDOT to make road improvements to por-tions of Iowa 14 and 224.

Under the proposal, IDOT would do the work and the county would reimburse it, afterwards the county would continue to retain maintenance responsibility for the roads. IDOT plans to resurface Iowa 14 from County Road F-17 East to 1.6 miles west of Iowa Highway 224.

In addition, IDOT would resur-face on Iowa Highway 224 north of Interstate 80 and west of Iowa 14. IDOT also would place paved shoulders on Iowa 14 from North Fourth Avenue West north to County Road 17.

Stutt doesn’t expect the project to start until FY15 or FY16 with of completion date of sometime in July 2016. IDOT estimates it will cost the county $145,000 for the projects.

Stutt’s other requests included a new work truck, which will be purchased from Ames Ford Lin-coln for $25,232. His other request was to purchase various types of

bridge beams. The approved low bid came from Wahoo, Neb.-based Oden Enterprises Inc. at a cost of $121,686.79.

In other business:• The county amended its FY14

budget and also approved an appro-priations resolution to move around $1.4 million in funds to align with the amended budget.

• Weekend Pit Stop was granted approval to use the Jasper County Courthouse lawn for its Cruisin’ to Newton events on Aug. 9 and Sept. 13.

• Jasper County Elderly Nutri-tion received approval to renew its contract with the Colfax Senior Citizens Center to continue to pro-vide meals for eligible citizens.

• Part-time Jasper County driv-er’s license clerk Heather Preston was approved to have her position moved to full-time beginning on July 1. Preston will make $14.22 an hour.

• County Sanitarian Kevin Lu-etters received approval to purchase high tech GPS system for his de-partment. The unit St. Paul, Minn.-based Tree Biz at a cost of $3,355.

• Robert Ham Jr., Fred Giesman and Paul Mattingly all received ap-proval for fireworks permits.

The talent this year is comprised of many Iowa drivers, including Jack An-derson. Jack’s family now lives in Indianola but has Newton ties. Jack loves the back-stretch on the track. His mom, Jennifer Anderson, graduated from Newton Senior High School in 2000.

“It’s nice being able to be close to home,” Jennifer said. “We live about 45

minutes away from here. I have been coming here since I was a kid. My hus-band used to race here. The family at-mosphere is great here.”

Many of the New-ton Kart Klub spon-sors are families that have been kart racing for generations from around the midwest, such as the Tharm and Woodar fami-lies. Both families have expanded their tradition of karting by having their third generation of family

race in Newton.“The Newton

Kart Klub’s deep roots with many kart racing families from around the country has been the suc-cess of the track for the past forty years,” O’Neal said. “As families continue to return gives a bright future of the Kart Klub and kart racing in Newton.”

DEAR ABBY: I met a guy four months ago. Our relationship is new and pretty casual for the most part. We like each other’s company and spend nights together, but when we’re intimate, he keeps his clothes on — boxers and all. He is only 26, but he has told me about past rela-tionships, so I know he has had ex-perience.

Over the past two years he has lost almost 100 pounds. He looks great now — healthy and toned. I have seen him get in and out of the shower. (I noticed a little excess skin on his stomach, but not much.) It’s really weird. I don’t feel comfortable taking my own clothes off when he doesn’t.

This isn’t exactly a deal breaker for me, as I obviously am attracted to him. I just would like him to be comfortable with me. Should I ad-dress this with him, and if so, how? Or should I just leave it be for now? — AWKWARD SITUATION IN GEORGIA

DEAR AWKWARD: It’s appar-ent that he still has body issues hav-ing to do with his extreme weight loss. If you know him well enough to spend nights at his house, you should be able to communicate with him about sex on a mature level and tell him the experience would be more satisfying for you if there was less be-tween you when you are in his arms.

DEAR ABBY: My fiancee and I work full time. We are trying to save for our wedding and a deposit for a house. The trouble is, after paying rent, bills and day-to-day expenses, we are left with next to nothing.

I played poker when I was in col-lege, which generated a nice income during my late teens and early 20s. A few months back, I decided to pick it

up again and found a group of people who like to play. Since then, I have been playing four hours two or three nights a week, and it has generated an extra monthly income of $1,000 to $1,500. Our finances have im-proved a lot.

There are nights my fiancee wants me to stay home. She says if I had a part-time job, she would under-stand why I couldn’t stay home on the days she asked. But to me, poker IS a part-time job, and it pays more than anything else I could find in this area. I play the same set schedule every week, so she should know what nights I need to go in to “work.” What do you say? — ALL-IN IN VIRGINIA

DEAR ALL-IN: You appear to be a skillful card player or a very lucky one. Assuming that the games in which you are participating are le-gal, I see nothing wrong with what you’re doing. Because your fiancee feels lonely when you’re not with her, suggest that she do something with friends or take up a hobby. After all, you’re doing this for the both of you, aren’t you? And this “part-time job” isn’t going to be forever.

Instead of breather, US contemplates World Cup math

SAO PAULO (AP) — Instead of taking a breather, the U.S. created a WorldCup math puzzle for its fans back in America.

Just 30 sec-onds from clinching ad-vancement with a game to spare, the U.S. conced-ed a stoppage-time goal that left it with a 2-2 draw against Portugal last Sunday. With four points, the Americans may need at least a tie from their Group G fi nale against three-time champion Germany to advance to the knockout stage.

“Now we have no choice but to regroup, get ourselves ready for an-other big game on Thursday,” mid-fi elder Michael Bradley said.

Germany leads the group with four points after routing Portugal 4-0 and tying Ghana 2-2. The U.S., which opened with a 2-1 victory over Ghana, also has four points and trails on goal difference. Ghana and Portugal have one point each.

The U.S. would advance to the knockout stage of consecutive WorldCups for the fi rst time with a win or a tie against the Germans, or a draw between Ghana and Portugal in a match played simultaneously. If there’s a winner in the other game, the Americans also could advance with four points on a tiebreaker: goal difference, followed by total goals, head-to-head points, head-to-head goal difference and head-to-head goals. If a tie still isn’t resolved, there would be a drawing of lots.

“Had we been down 2-1 and we came back, we’d be fl ying high right now,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “It’s the Group of Death. Most people counted us out. So, it’s no problem. We’re going to the last game with a chance.”

The U.S. arrived back at its base hotel in Sao Paulo at about 5 a.m. on Monday after a four-hour fl ight from the match in the steamy Ama-zon rainforest capital of Manaus. The starters were given the day off, and the reserves trained in the late after-noon at Sao Paulo Futebol Clube.

After Tuesday’s training session, the team makes the three-hour-plus fl ight to the northeast beach city of Recife. While the Americans have just three days off be-tween matches, Germany has four.

“There’s a lot of things you can’t control. That’s a quirk of the sched-ule,” U.S. Soccer Federation Presi-dent Sunil Gulati said. “It’s a quirk of the schedule that we’ve got more travel than anybody else in the fi rst round, but we had less than every-one else in the fi rst round in South Africa. So those things balance out.”

The Group G winner likely will play Algeria, Russia or South Korea, whichever fi nishes second in Group H. The second-place team in Group G probably will face Group H leader Belgium, which is 2-0.

U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann did not talk to reporters Monday but spoke with the USSF in an interview for its website.

“We want to beat Germany. We want to be fi rst in our group, so we’re not thinking about a tie,” he said.

Klinsmann starred for West Ger-many’s team that won the 1990 WorldCup and coached Germany to third place in 2006. Joachim Loew, Germany’s current coach, was Klins-mann’s assistant eight years ago.

Because both nations would advance in the event of a draw, some thought back to the 1982 WorldCup in Spain, where West Germany needed a one- or two-goal win over Austria to assure both nations of advancement and elim-inate Algeria. Horst Hrubesch scored for the West Germans 10 minutes in, and players spent much of the rest of the evening passing to their teammates without threatening the opposing goal. West Germany won 1-0, and ever since FIFA has scheduled group fi nales for simultaneous kickoffs.

“You’re talking about a game that is decades away that is only part of the Germany history and not the United States,” Klinsmann said. “The United States is known to give everything they have in every single game. ... We have that fi ghting spirit. We have that energy and that determination to do well in every single game.”

MARSHALLTOWN — Jeff Aikey of Cedar Falls outlasted the fi eld Tuesday in the IMCA Derry Broth-ers Summer Series Miller Lite 50 at Marshalltown Speedway. The IMCA late models ran for the fi rst and only time in 2014 during the 50th anniversary season of Marshalltown Speedway.

The Deery Brothers Summer Series Miller Lite 50 was presented by H&F Distributing and Rumor’s Bar & Grill and fueled by Casey’s.

Tyler Bruening and Ja-son Hahne drew the front row with Aikey and Curtin Martin, a pair of veterans, right behind them. Aikey took the lead from the in-side row two and pulled away, however, another vet-eran Ray Guss Jr. worked his way to second by Lap 2. Guss tried to chase down Aikey.

Aikey was able to hold off Guss as they continued to tick off lap cars. Just as it appeared the lap traffi c was getting heavier or the fea-ture was going to go cau-tion free, the caution came

out on Lap 43 when Denny Eckrich encountered prob-lems ending his his car to-wards the billboards on the front stretch.

Aikey, Guss, Andy Eck-rich, Bruening and Martin were the top fi ve on the restart and when the cau-

tion came out again two laps later. It set up fi ve-lap shootout.

Aikey held on to take his 62nd Deery Series win and his fourth at Marshall-town in the series. Not only did Aikey take the $3,000 to win, but he also picked up the extra $1,000 for be-ing a veteran that raced at Marshalltown from 1985 to 1990. Andy Eckrich worked his way from 12th to fi nish in the runner-up

THORNBURG — Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team piled up a 14-7 lead by the end of the fourth inning against host Tri-County. The Hawks had to hold off a charge at the end by the Trojans, winning the South Iowa Cedar League game, 14-13, Tuesday.

While the Hawk boys were surviving on the road, the Class 1A second-ranked Lynnville-Sully softball team kept thriving. The Hawk girls pushed their win streak to 21, claiming an 8-0 win over Tri-County.

The Trojan girls did

manage to make the Hawks play seven complete innings. It didn’t matter as Lynnville-Sully controlled the game from start to fi n-ish. The Hawks scored sin-gle runs in the fi rst, third, sixth and seventh innings while plating two runs each in the fourth and fi fth frames.

Madison Rasmusson scattered fi ve hits over the seven innings, not yielding a run. She walked one and struck out six for her 25th win of the season.

Becca Vos drove in two

runs with a double. Ras-musson was 3-for-4 with a single, a double and a tri-ple, drove in a run and had three stolen bases in the game. Kasiah Ehresman also swiped three bases and delivered two singles.

Shaylin Lukehart deliv-ered a single and double and had one RBI. Shelby Davis hit two singles and stole two bases. Jade Van Rees and Kristal Beyer each had a single.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls improved to 17-0 in South Iowa Cedar League play and 25-1 overall. They go to Sigourney Thursday in league action.

THE HAWK BOYSscored six runs in the fi rst

inning, one run in the sec-ond to lead Tri-County 7-1 after two. They produced seven more runs in the top of the fourth, but gave up fi ve to the Trojans in their half of the inning.

Tri-County chipped away at the 14-7 Hawk lead with two runs in the fi fth and one in the sixth. Lynnville-Sully led 14-10 and just needed three outs to win. The Trojans battled to the end but only got three across before the Hawks shut the door for one-run win.

No other information for Lynnville-Sully boys was available at press time. The Hawk boys (8-7, 6-7) travel to Sigourney on Thursday in SICL action.

Five in a row for CMBCOLLINS — With the start of

the postseason only a few weeks away, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter appears to have found its groove.

The Raiders won their fi fth straight game Tuesday night, this time defeating North Polk, 9-5.

CMB broke a 5-all tie in the bot-tom of the sixth thanks to a series of singles and a North Polk error.

It was the second four-run inning the Raiders had Tuesday. After North Polk took a three-run lead in the top of the second, CMB capitalized on two errors to take a 4-3 lead in the bottom half of the inning.

Abbie Haupert and Megan Ritter both had two hits in the win. Haupert drove in three runs and Ritter two.

Heather Jessen earned the win in the circle by pitching all seven in-nings. Jessen gave up eight hits, struck out three and walked three.

The Raiders (12-10) put their winning streak on the line tonight at home against Greene County (18-5), which beat CMB, 6-1, on June 4.

Tigerhawks come up short in rain make-up

NEVADA — Colfax-Mingo’s one run in the top of the seventh wasn’t

enough to pull the Tigerhawks even with Nevada Tuesday night in a 4-3 defeat.

After Colfax-Mingo’s Amy Rus-sell doubled with one out in the seventh and scored following a Ne-vada error, the Tigerhawks stranded

pinch-runner Alivia Haley on second base when Erin Earles popped up

spot followed by Guss in third. Jus-tin Kay managed the last two re-starts perfectly and found his way to a fourth place finish and Martin was fifth.

Before the late models’ feature three other classes raced on the Mar-shalltown track Tuesday night.

The Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks opted to run two 10-lap features as oppose to the normal heat and feature format. Lou Siplot won the first fea-ture race. Pat Fagen was second, Kev-in Sather third, Brad Moyer fourth and Carl Knight fifth.

In feature two, AJ Nelson grabbed the early lead but got crossed up al-lowing Bret Moyer to get by on Lap 3. Bret Moyer continued to lead until his brother Brad tried to take it away on six laps later. The Moyer brothers made contact, allowing Sather rolled to the front where he stayed. Sather took the win over Fagen, Brad Moyer, AJ Nelson and Bret Moyer. The se-ries points awarded was determined by average finish in the two races.

Scott Pippert jumped to the race lead early, sustain it through several cautions to win the 20-lap IMCA stock car feature. Pippert held off challenges from David Smith, who finished second. Devin Smith was third, Damon Murty was fourth and Donavon Smith was fifth.

The IMCA Northern sportmods feature saw the caution flag come out before the completion of lap one when Logan Anderson spun in Turn 2. Andy Tiernan grabbed the lead on the restart but that was short lived. Clint Luellen worked his way from the sixth starting spot to take the lead away. Luellen would not let any of the other cautions bother him. Luellen led the final six laps to take the $1,000 prize. Sam Wieben, Tay-lor Musselman, Andy Tiernan and Carter VanDenBerg rounded out the top five.

The Speedway is back to action on Friday night for Shawn’s Custom Hay Grinding Night at the races. Hot Laps at 6:45 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m.

SEC matchups highlight ISU men’s basketball schedule

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State will play five high-major programs during non-confer-ence play, including matchups against Iowa, Arkansas and South Carolina.

The Cyclones on Tuesday released their non-conference schedule, which could prove to be the most challenging in Fred Hoiberg’s five seasons as coach.

Iowa State opens on Nov. 14 at home against Oakland. It then hosts a Georgia State

team that won 25 games last season and will add Louisville transfer Kevin Ware.

The Cyclones will play two games against Maryland, Ari-zona State or Alabama in a tournament in Kansas City and host the Razorbacks on Dec. 4.

Iowa State will travel to face the rival Hawkeyes on Dec. 12.

The Cyclones finish non-conference play against the Gamecocks in Brooklyn on Jan. 3.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The of-fense has been there for Virginia in the College World Series finals. The pitching is back now, too.

With the Cavaliers’ season on the line, Brandon Waddell pitched a five-hit complete game in a 7-2 victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday night that forced a decisive Game 3.

The teams meet Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park, where the winner will earn its school’s first na-tional championship in baseball.

Waddell’s first nine-inning com-plete game came a night after Nathan Kirby imploded in Vanderbilt ’s nine-run third inning in a 9-8 loss to the

Commodores on Monday. Waddell seemed to get better as the game went on, with the fourth inning a turning point.

Vanderbilt (50-21) held a 2-1 lead and had a chance to add to it with John Norwood on second base. But Rhett Wiseman couldn’t get a bunt down to move him over, and he struck out looking. Waddell then picked off Norwood at second.

“The pick play was put on, and we just executed,” Waddell said. “It was a huge momentum swing. They go from a guy in scoring position to no-body on. So I think it was something that was definitely big for us.”

Virginia beats Vandy, evens CWS

to third and Brooke Nicholson lined out to the shortstop for the third out.

Eighth-grade pitcher Ries Wil-son suffered the loss in the circle. Nevada scored all four of its runs of Wilson with two outs in the fourth inning. The Tigerhawks had an op-portunity to end the bottom of the fourth when Earles committed an error at first. The error prolonged the inning as Nevada scored three more runs.

The Tigerhawks out hit Nevada in the loss, 8-6. Wilson and Rylee Thompson both had two hits. Rhi-annon Haley added a solo home run.

The game was originally sched-uled for June 20 but was postponed due to rain.

Colfax-Mingo plays tonight at 7 p.m. at South Hamilton.

Astrograph

The clever Gemini moon wants to help you man-age multiple endeavors at once. Planning and list making will keep you from getting over-whelmed, but not at first. Initially you may feel even more overwhelmed than you did before you got it all down on paper, but after some thinking, sorting and planning, you’ll see your way to the Promised Land.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 25). Your will-ingness to fail is what leads to a July success of which you (and your loved ones) will be extremely proud. Seize the chance to perform as much as possible so you can work out the kinks. A mutually beneficial busi-ness relationship leads to an August windfall. November shows you traveling with a smile. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 21, 11, 17 and 42.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Style risks are part of the fun, and don’t be afraid to take this beyond your previous limits.

Hair grows back, and you can always change your clothes, so experi-ment. What do you have to lose?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reach out to the people you haven’t had a chance to talk to. You’ve all changed in interest-ing and positive ways. It’s time to share those changes so you can get back in synch.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everything has a context. That’s why so many private moments that were funny, exciting and generally awesome wind up being less so when you try to explain them to someone who wasn’t there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The most power-ful person isn’t the one who’s talking nonstop. It’s the one to whom others are talking. When people feel compelled to share with you, you can consider it a sign of respect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll see your town the way a tourist sees

it: with great curiosity and a desire to taste the most interesting offerings before you move along to the next place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s better to celebrate a flaw than to conceal it. Once you bring attention to the thing you were trying to hide, it no longer can be called a flaw. It trans-forms into an item of interest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Even though you recognize that the thing you want is merely a symbol of success and not success itself, you still want it. Symbols are powerful, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you say has a very real power to expand, guide and direct the emotional flow around you. Choose your words carefully and your tone even more carefully.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unpredicted good fortune will befall you. You’ll be rethinking your definition of advantages

and disadvantages when what you thought was a disadvantage actually works in your favor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll get realistic about whether or not your efforts are bringing you the desired results. Usually, there is more gray area to consider — but not now. It’s either working or it’s not.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just because things wind up next to each other doesn’t mean they should be compared. It may take a great deal of restraint not to make comparisons, and if you can pass this test, you are superhuman.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are definitely perks to being you. For one, you don’t care too much about what people think right now, and that’s part of what makes you so funny. You’ll en-joy making people smile.

4 His Grace to take the stage Saturday

Last November, four mem-bers of the congregation at First Christian Church in Newton joined together to create a South-ern Gospel men’s quartet called “4 His Grace”. The group has had the opportunity to sing at their church and throughout the community, and Saturday the group will open for national tour-ing Christian group The Pam and Phil Morgan Family at First Christian Church.

“We wanted to start something different, so we just got four guys to start singing, and it took off,” First Christian Church Music Director Cathi Wickett said.

The group is made up of first tenor Scott Schaffer, second ten-or Steve Barnett, baratone Greta Wallace and bass Chris Wing. The group harmonizes together many songs from the hymnal to create a very distinguished voice. Although the group’s passion is for performing, all of them know that it wouldn’t be possible with-out the grace of Jesus Christ.

“It’s really what this group is about because, as much as we love to entertain people, at the end of the day everything that we do is for him,” 4 His Grace first tenor Scott said. “It’s by his grace that we have the ability to come here and do this.”

4 His Grace has many similar music inspirations and stories, as many members of the group en-joy the sounds of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Chicago, but all of them have a distinct passion for the sound of southern gospel.

Chris, the group’s bass who works as an investigator for the Newton Police Department, re-called performing a free concert one night.

“One time in my patrol car ,before I got into investigations,” Chris said. “I was listening to southern gospel in my car sing-ing it over and over again,” Chris

said. “At one point, I forgot that I had my mic on, so the rest of the county got a free concert with the song ‘Glory God on High.’ In-stead of applause, I got, ‘Hey, you have your open mic on.’”

Since the inception of the group, they have remained hum-ble and pleasantly surprised in receiving invitations to play for multiple churches and groups. They are scheduled to go back to Christian Conference Center and will play for an RV church group in Boone. The group also will be featured on the First Christian Church’s Fourth of July float.

“We’re going to be in the fourth of July parade on a float,” Steve said. “I hope we can remain standing up throughout the pa-rade. I think it has really caught on and I hate to brag, but we’re good. I have heard other groups, and I think our blend is very good.”

“Initially, I was a little bit sur-prised, because in the beginning

we had aspirations about eventu-ally doing something like this,” Scott said. “It has taken awhile for us to really find our sound. We thought that maybe we could open up and do some things outside of our church. It’s been a pleasant surprise that we have been getting the invitation to be doing these events.”

The group wants to create a crowd experience of not just be-ing entertained but of feeling something more.

“We don’t want the show to be just an entertaining show,” Chris said. “We want the crowd to be able to walk away with something and have a feeling of the power of God like the same way we do when we sing these songs. We just want to minister through song.”

The Phil and Pam Morgan Family with 4 His Grace concert will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday at First Christian Church, located at 314 E. Second St. N. in New-ton.

Church excommunicates women’s group founderSALT LAKE CITY (AP) —

The Mormon church excommu-nicated the founder of a promi-nent women’s group Monday, a rare move that brings down the harshest punishment available on an adherent who created an orga-nization and staged demonstra-tions in a push for women to join the faith’s priesthood.

The ousting of Kate Kelly

marks one of the most signifi-cant excommunications in recent church history and sends a warn-ing to others publicly challeng-ing church practice and forming groups around their cause, schol-ars who study Mormonism say.

“It does more than excommu-nicate Kelly,” said Jan Shipps, a retired religion professor from Indiana who is a non-Mormon

expert on the church. “It warns everybody.”

Shipps said The Church of Je-sus Christ of Latter-day Saints is implementing “boundary mainte-nance,” using Kelly as an example to show people how far they can go in questioning church prac-tices.

Church officials had no imme-diate comment Monday.
