California man arrested after alleged kidnapping of Baxter girl

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

David LaVera, 33, of San Diego, the man arrested Tuesday af-ternoon who is facing multiple charges for al-legedly luring a 14-year-old Baxter girl into his vehicle after claim-

ing to be an actor from the popular “Twilight” franchise, was present in at least two Newton schools last week.

LaVera, who de-scribes himself as an “extreme sports athlete/action actor” on his Twitter account, is re-ported to have been a guest speaker who also performed stunts at Au-rora Heights Elemen-tary School and Berg Middle School.

Krstyal Hughson commented on the Dai-ly News’ Facebook page

that her daughter, who attends Aurora Heights, came home with an au-tograph from LaVera.

Comments on Face-book also indicated LaVera was present at Maytag Pool last Tues-day when Berg eighth-grade students were at Maytag Pool for their end-of-the-year cel-ebration.

With LaVera hav-ing access to so many of Newton’s children via the schools, a number of parents have expressed outrage and are de-manding answers from the district. As of press time, Superintendent Bob Callaghan was at

BMS conducting an in-vestigation on the mat-ter and plans to release a statement today.

The original incident that lead to LaVera’s ar-rest began when Jasper County dispatch was notified of an alleged kidnapping at 1:28 p.m. Tuesday. The reporting party, a relative of the girl, stated a man who claimed to be an actor in the “Twilight” film se-ries and who reportedly

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsBerg Elementary School will host the Newton Community School District’s Sum-mer Food Service Program this year. SFSP began on Monday and ends on July 31. Meals are served from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and there are free pick-up locations at various district buildings.

school District offering free lunches this summer to all Newton children

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

The Newton Community School District is doing its part to ensure that no child in Newton is going without a hot meal this summer.

On Monday, the district began its Summer Food Service Program at the Berg Elementary School cafeteria. This program guarantees any child under the age of 18 will receive a free lunch at the building, and anyone over 18 can get a meal for $3.

NCSD Food Supervisor Cristy Croson talked about the creation of the program.

“When I took over as supervisor five years ago, I started researching the idea of offering meals throughout the summer as our free and reduced meal percentages were increasing in our dis-trict,” Croson said. “When school gets out, many children are still in need of a nutritious meal to help continue to

City rolls out incentives for new home construction

Special to the Daily News

The City of Newton is poised to offer significant incentives to both homebuyers and builders, with a stated objective “to jump-start new home construction over the coming summer months.”

Newton is offering $10,000 cash to anyone purchasing a new home built in-side the city limits in 2014, with no-fee building permits and a guarantee to build-ers should their new homes not sell within 12 months.

“We are offering some amazing incen-tives to build new homes in our city,” said Newton Mayor Michael Hansen. “The City of Newton has added over 1,600 new jobs in the last six years, but the amount of new housing has not kept pace with this growth. With support from our city council members who authorized the in-centives, and a great development staff to implement the plan, we expect to see a tremendous increase in new home starts over the next several months.”

According to Newton Development Specialist Craig Armstrong, the criteria for the city’s buyer incentive program is simple and straightforward.

Local residents warned against charity scams

Special to the Daily News

The Newton Police Department issued a press release Tuesday urging all residents of Newton to be careful when donating money or supplies to any organization they are not familiar with.

“There are a number of charity scams that are used throughout the United States, as well as Iowa,” Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich stated in the release. “You should always check on their business web-site and the Better Business Bureau to see if they are a legitimate business or charity. Do not just take someone’s word on the fact that they say that they are a charity or a 501.3c organization. Always ask for proof.

“Recently, Lisa Storey Ransom intro-duced herself and her charity to the Newton City Council as the Tri-County Necessity Pantry And Pet Pantry. The city council listened and asked Lisa about her organiza-tion, which is based out of Melcher Dallas. Lisa stated that she was going to bring this organization, which was a charitable orga-nization, into the City of Newton. This or-ganization was then highlighted in articles in our local media.

Jasper County, Reasnor at impasse on city’s back taxes

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

“Well, that’d be my advice, to get some le-gal advice … some-body dropped the ball somewhere, and I don’t want to lay blame,” Jas-per County Board of Supervisors Chairman Joe Brock told Reas-nor Mayor Cliff Vos at Tuesday’s meeting.

Vos was making his second consecutive ap-pearance in front of the board in an effort to try and resolve his city’s is-sue of back taxes to the county. Reasnor is cur-rently behind on its county taxes for several parcels the city owns,

some of which are ex-empt as they are un-der Federal Emergency Management Agency restrictions.

The issue at hand be-tween the county and Reasnor stems from the non-FEMA properties.

“As a council now, we don’t feel that we are re-sponsible for paying it,” Vos told the board, reit-erating his stance from last week.

Vos said that the bank should have paid the taxes before the prop-erties were transferred to the city. Last week, Jasper County Assessor John Deegan and Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop explained why

they felt Reasnor should pay those taxes and this week, Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen expressed a similar no-tion.

“The request regard-ing the other proper-ties, which the city pur-chased, somehow the taxes never got paid. These are taxes that are due and payable prior to the time that they pur-chased the (properties),” Jacobsen said.

“Those properties, looking at it in my opin-ion, they should have to pay the taxes just like anyone else. They

Iowa KidsNet to hold information sessionGRINNELL — Iowa Kid-

sNet, the statewide organization that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adop-tive families, will hold an infor-mation session in Grinnell on June 19 for individuals interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents.

Foster care is the temporary placement of children with fam-ilies outside of their own home due to abuse, neglect or other family crisis situations. The goal is for loving families to provide children with a safe, stable and nurturing environment. There is no typical foster family — foster families can be single, married, homeowners or renters and can

come from all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

This information session gives attendees a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an under-standing of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system. There is no obligation to continue in the process by at-tending.

There is a large need for more families to foster teens, children with special needs or behaviors and sibling groups. Iowa also has a need for more African Ameri-can, Latino and Native Ameri-can foster and adoptive parents.

To inquire online and see fu-ture session dates, visit www.io-

wakidsnet.com. Registrants will receive an information packet to fill out before attending the ses-sion.

Iowa KidsNet is a statewide collaboration of agencies that utilizes a unique, cohesive ap-proach to provide recruitment, training, licensing and continued support to individuals who wish to become foster and adoptive parents. Iowa KidsNet is a part-nership of Iowa social service agencies, including Four Oaks, Children’s Square USA, Family Resources, LSI, Quakerdale and affiliate Youth and Shelter Ser-vices. For more information, call (800) 243-0756 or visit www.io-wakidsnet.com.

learn, play and grow over the summer months.

“Good nutrition is es-sential for learning, so our free meal program provides this nutrition over the summer months. This summer will be our fourth year operating the program and I hope to see the program continue to grow and expand.”

According to the Iowa Department of Educa-tion, more than 50 per-cent of students in the district qualify for free or reduced lunch.

In the past, this pro-gram has also been of-fered at Thomas Jeffer-son Elementary School. Croson explained why the district went with the decision to only use one location this year.

“The decision was dif-ficult as we want to serve as many children as pos-sible over the summer,” Croson said. “The meal counts were very low at Thomas Jefferson last summer. Our plan this

year is to bus the chil-dren all to Berg to help serve everyone in the community and make the program financially responsible.”

Croson said that HIRTA Public Tran-sit offered its services to district to make sure that all kids had a way to Berg this year.

“After many phone calls and bus schedule ideas, we have a partner-ship with them (HIRTA) to help get the children to the meal site this sum-mer,” Croson said. “We appreciate their support to help this wonderful program to feed children over the summer in our community.”

With the ongoing rise of students on free and reduced lunch in New-ton, Croson is hoping to get the word out about this program on a larger scale, to make sure that children are eating prop-erly and not going hun-gry over summer break.

“We are expecting a larger turn out this year as more families become aware of the program

and we are providing free transportation to and from the program from many areas of the com-munity,” Croson said.

SFSP will last until July 31 and is between 11 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Mondays through Fri-days, with the exception of the Fourth of July, which falls on a Friday this year.

Free bus pick up and drop off locations are as follows:

• 10:30 a.m. at Thom-as Jefferson’s north park-ing lot.

• 10:40 a.m. at Wood-row Wilson Elementary School’s front entrance.

• 10:50 a.m. at the front parking lot of Em-erson Hough.

• 11 a.m. at Aurora Heights Elementary School’s north parking lot.

The bus will depart from the Berg front en-trance at 11:45 a.m. and no supervision will be present at the pick-up sites.

For more information, contact Croson at (641) 792-5792, ext. 2001.

“The home must be built on a subdivision or ‘infill’ lot inside the city limits of Newton, and the improvements must meet or exceed $160,000 in value,” Armstrong noted. “The builder is required to install a radon abate-ment system at the time of construction, and the buyer’s cash incentive will be available when the loan is closed and a Certificate of Occupan-

cy is filed.”There are no other

restrictions or condi-tions for the homebuy-ers’ cash incentive, and the money may be used for down payment or closing costs, or may simply be received as a cash bonus. Builders may use the buyer cash incentive as a marketing tool for new homes con-structed on a speculative basis, with the guaran-tee of interest and util-ity costs absorbed by the city if their homes don’t sell within 12 months of completion.

The new home con-struction incentive pro-grams are an important component in the city’s branding campaign, “Get To Know Newton,” which was inaugurated in late February of this year. More information on Newton’s outreach, events and incentives is available online at www.GetToKnowNewton.com. Interested par-ties may also contact the city’s Development Specialist at craiga@newtongov.org for ad-ditional details on the incentive programs.

Local OpinionPage 4A Wednesday, June 11, 2014

Last December, as I was being interviewed for the “Get to Know Newton” promotional video, I was asked a question that I couldn’t answer honestly or thoroughly.

That question pertained to the Newton Community Theatre.

It rarely happens, but I was not only tongue tied, I truly didn’t have much to say. I hadn’t written much about the theatre, at the time, nor had I seen a performance there yet; so I was clue-less. I knew they had won national awards, I knew they were non-profit and that’s about it.

It’s a bit of a pet peeve of mine to not be in the know on something. One of the many things I love about working for a newspaper is the information gathering aspect.

I took my tongue tied and blank response moment, during my interview, to heart and made a vow to myself that I was at least go-ing to see a show at NCT this year.

I’m a little unique in the sense that I hate most musicals, but I generally love plays. I’ve seen “Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway, “Thriller Live!” — a musical based on the Michael Jackson’s music — in London and various shows all over Kansas City.

Yes, I know some of these were musi-cals, but Phantom was the cheapest ticket I could find in NYC, and I love Michael Jack-son’s music more than you can imagine — I couldn’t miss my chance to see that show.

With that promise to myself in mind, and wanting to be able to give factual informa-tion about one of our local amenities, it was finally time to add seeing a show at NCT to my “Get to Know Newton” bucket list.

This past Friday, Kate Malott, my co-worker/surrogate sister, and I ventured out to NCT to see the 7 p.m. performance of “The Odd Couple.” I had been pretty anxious to see this show since Jaime Grout first pitched the idea of me doing a preview story on it back in April.

It was worth my wait.I truly enjoyed myself on Friday, and it

was great to see such terrific acting and pro-duction values on the local level. If you don’t believe me about the production values, the LP collection in Oscar and Felix’s apartment contained actual Frank Sinatra, Ann Mur-ray and Sonny & Cher records. I was also informed that record player “prop” still func-tions.

There was definite chemistry with this cast and I felt it. I enjoyed the character de-velopment, the well done New York accents added to the authenticity and I wanted to participate in the guys’ poker night. I also felt general tension and discomfort when Felix, in my opinion, started blowing his and Os-car’s double date night with the buxom Brit-ish beauties from upstairs.

I had never seen “The Odd Couple” be-fore, and I discovered I had some things in common with both main characters, Os-car and Felix. Both men wrote the news; I share Oscar’s affinity for a nice drink and my apartment looks about as messy as his. I’m just as handy in the kitchen as Felix, I share his love of organization and scheduling and I’m just as cheap.

I’m going try to keep a better ledger of every penny I spend now, thanks for the tip Felix!

After a great performance from the actors, NCT board member Harvey Olsthoorn in-vited Kate and I go to go backstage. We got to tour the theatre, meet the actors and crew and see how all the magic is made.

(P.S. I know where I’m going to find my next Halloween costume).

NCT is quite the impressive organization and I’m glad I finally got to not only work with them; I got to enjoy a great night out in my own back yard. I’m not saying the Des Moines Civic Center should watch its back, but I’d stay on my toes if I were them.

Class of ’44I just want to take some time out to thank

the Newton Senior High School class of 1944 for inviting me to come out and cover them on Saturday. I had a wonderful time and it was a great honor to meet so many members of the Greatest Generation.

But for many of us, the question of whether to stand our ground or hit the ground run-ning is a matter of some confu-sion, and if Price is to be believed — and I believe he is — of some importance.

It all starts with our early an-cestors, the Neanderthals. (No, not your cousins, Mort and Hildy Neanderthal from Granville, Ohio. I’m talking Iron Age, baby, when cave men and cave women worked in cave cubicles and sa-ber-tooth tigers roamed Earth.)

You see, the first time our Neanderthal ancestors sensed a saber-tooth tiger creeping up on them, there was no stress. They simply thought: “Gee, that’s a big kitty cat. I wonder if it would like to play with a ball of wool?”

Skip ahead a several thousand years, and the only Neanderthals who were still around had caught

on to the fact that tigers are not kitty cats. They also knew that the best course of action when sensing one is about to be pounced upon is either to run like hell or get out a bazooka. This produced stress. (Since they didn’t have bazookas back then, they mostly ran like hell.) And so the fight-or-flight response was born.

Today, we have very few saber-tooth tigers, but we do have hu-man resource professionals and IT technicians and management consultants and senior vice presi-dents of every stripe, whose teeth are just as sharp. That’s why we still experience stress and, as every Neanderthal knows, stress can be very damaging to your mind, your body and what we laughingly call your personality.

At this point, we can turn to the National Institute for Oc-cupational Safety and Health — NIOSH to its friends — which has determined that “there are two different categories of what influences stress in the workplace: worker characteristics and work-ing conditions.”

In other words, while it is pos-sible that long hours, high expec-tations, impossible deadlines and constant hectoring from manage-ment may possibly, conceivably cause stress, it’s probably all your fault.

Why? Because you’re weak, in-efficient, and management really needs someone to blame.

But maybe I’m being unfair to NIOSH, because they do offer several sources for workplace stress other than you. There’s heavy workload, infrequent breaks, lack of family-friendly policies, lack of support from co-workers and su-pervisors, too much responsibil-ity, job insecurity, and unpleasant workplace environment. That’s right — pretty much all the working conditions management works so hard to maintain.

If management won’t take

stress seriously, you should. Stress can be dangerous to your health. As Price writes, “When the body is kept in a constant state of emo-tional agitation, the threat of heart, stomach, and long-term emotional problems exponentially increase.” All this can lead to fa-tigue, upset stomachs and head-aches.

So when your boss brags, “I don’t get headaches; I give head-aches,” she’s absolutely right. This is exactly why it is necessary for the company to cut back on your health care benefits. They can’t afford to treat all the employees they’re making sick.

With the American Psycholog-ical Association and the Institute of Stress reporting that more than 77 percent of all people regularly experience the physical symptoms of stress, it is definitely time for business leaders like myself to step in and step up.

I’m supposed to “change my organization to better encourage a more positive environment and a better work/life balance.” And just as soon as I can make sure my executive compensation package is safely deposited in my Cayman Islands bank account, I’m going to do just that. In the meantime, I’ll just fire everyone who looks tired, or has an upset tummy, or has aspirin in their desk drawer. If they think the stress at my work-place is so bad, I’m sure they’ll feel perfectly relaxed at the unemploy-ment office.

had a prior online relationship with the victim had taken her.

According to a news release from the Jasper County Sheriff John Hal-ferty and Baxter Police Chief Steve Wright, relatives and friends of the victim spotted LaVera’s vehicle in Baxter, told the driver to stop and yelled for the victim to get out of the car. She safely exited the vehicle, and LaVera left the scene.

Authorities determined the victim entered Lavera’s car willingly and lo-cated LaVera’s vehicle east of Baxter on Highway F17. He was taken into custody at 1:44 p.m. During his ar-rest, authorities found two swords and five dagger-like weapons within his reach in the vehicle.

“This gentleman had met her pre-viously in Newton and had talked to her. He got on Facebook with her,” Wright told WHO-TV. “They were

communicating on Facebook. And through that Facebook, he came up here to Baxter to meet with her,” Wright said. “This isn’t somebody that just wants to be friends, and typ-ically this is the kind of person that meets a profile of somebody that can be a predator and can be dangerous.”

LaVera is currently in custody at the Jasper County Jail and is being charged with enticement of a minor, a Class D felony; carrying weapons, an aggravated misdemeanor; and fail-ure to have a valid driver’s license, a simple misdemeanor.

LaVera is no stranger to Jasper County, as he worked on the 2009 horror film “Underground” that was filmed primarily in Newton and used the former Maytag Plant 2 as a shot location. A trailer for the film can be found on YouTube.

KidnappingContinued from Page 1A

Baptism in the park

Submitted PhotoThe Newton Church of The Way held its fourth annual Celebration Sunday at the Maytag Bowl Sunday, June 8. An estimated 600 people attended the event. The service included 18 baptisms, child blessings and rededications. A wedding also followed af-terward. Since the churches launch in 2005, 150 baptisms have taken place.

is about,” Meghan said. “It’s about working with people and coming up with creative ways to do church together.”

The First Presbyterian Church is Meghan’s second church home. Her first church out of seminary was in Longview, Wash., and she was there for five years.

“It was a great experience and a great church as well,” Meghan said. “I have spent most of my life in the west. I grew up in New Mexico and, prior to going to Washington, I spent most of my adult life in California.”

Meghan has spent some time in the Midwest when she went to college in Ohio.

“I am not looking forward to the winter season, as I love tell-ing jokes that I am a desert flow-er, but I will toughen up and be okay,” Meghan said

The summer time tends to be more of a quiet time for most churches, as families and people vacation.

“It’s actually a good time for me to come here and get accli-mated to the community and the church,” Meghan said. “I think most of the new and exciting things that I will be trying will probably start in September.”

Meghan tries to take time to enjoy her hobbies outside of the church and tries to implement them into her service style. One example is yoga. Meghan is a cer-tified yoga instructor and plans to start yoga classes at the church.

“People keep on asking me about it, so I am excited that they’re excited about it,” Meghan said. “It might not start until September, but it may start soon-er than that. I just need to figure out where it fits in the church calendar and facilities. Those will be open to the community and we would love to have people join us.”

Meghan also said she enjoys reading and watching movies and other hobbies of hers include knitting and running, both of which she agrees could stand for some improvement.

“Neither of those I do well,” Meghan said. “I garden some, which I am horrible at that as well. All of these things I do, and hope to somehow get better at, but don’t seem to, which is okay.”

Meghan as a pastor has two distinct passions about her job, which includes her love of wor-ship and a concept called “pasto-

ral care.”“I really love leading and plan-

ning worship as well as preach-ing,” Meghan said. “I am told I do it (preaching) pretty well. My other thing is what we call the business pastoral care.”

Meghan considers the interac-tion she has with anyone, wheth-er it ’s an administrative assistant or someone in the community, as pastoral care.

“My being with people and getting to know people and let-ting them know that I care about them,” Meghan said. “It all fits in kind of an umbrella that we call pastoral care, which I love doing.”

In her first week, Meghan said she’s been trying to fill out pa-perwork and work on logistics. However, the process has been a bit slow since so many people have wanted to come and meet her.

“I love those interruptions be-cause that is what ministry is more than filling out paperwork or do-ing other office work,” Meghan said. “That also very much a part of my job, but not the part that I enjoy as much because to me ministry is really about relation-ships and that’s what I am inter-ested in, not just with members of the church but throughout the whole community as well.”

Meghan delivers her sermons in a multitude of ways and plans to slowly implement them.

“It won’t change immediately at all,” Meghan said. “We have a very traditional worship service, and I don’t know how that might change. One of my sermon styles (that I’ll be) implementing soon will be first-person narrative ser-mons, where I take on a character. So it might be Mary, and I also take on male characters.”

She acknowledged that many churches bare concern about bringing in new people and that some churches purposefully bring in new people to change things up. Meghan is hoping to find a way to mesh her style without dramatically altering how things are currently at the church.

“My feelings are oftentimes when churches are in kind of a ‘Hail Mary’ attempt to bring in new people, (they) will suddenly change their worship style bring-ing in more of a praise band wor-ship,” Meghan said. “I feel if it ’s not true to the congregation, I don’t feel like it should fly.

“I am more interested in be-ing here and getting to know the church and the community before I start making changes that might not be authentic to who we are.”

Jacobsen said this type of situation has oc-curred with other cit-ies in the county, but it doesn’t happen very of-ten. The total amount of back taxes including the FEMA properties is $1,598 and Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott estimated the cost to pay the back tax-es on the non-FEMA properties in Reasnor

was $440.“Cliff, can the city

not afford 440 bucks?,” Parrott asked Vos.

“Absolutely not,” Vos said. “We can afford it, (but) outside of the loess fund and the road use tax, we just don’t hardly have any money.”

The board took no for-mal action on the matter, and Vos said he will con-sult with his city council and indicated they may just let the properties go at a tax sale.

In other business:• Richard Nichols and

Ronald Tarr will work on an as needed basis as part-time transportation officers for the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office. Each man’s hiring goes into effect on June 11 and they will both make $12.39 an hour.

• St. Charles, Ill.-based The Sidwell Company was selected to perform the project at a cost of $26,000.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a twice-di-vorced woman who found my present husband late in life. I’m in my early 60s, and my husband is in his 70s. We married quickly because I didn’t want to be alone in life and I thought I loved him.

My husband works while I stay at home because of a medical condition. Because I get bored, I spend some of my time communicating with and texting male friends from the past and one of my ex-husbands.

We have fun texting and some-times it goes a little beyond that. I realize I am married and my ex is en-gaged, but how harmful can this be? I don’t think I’m hurting anyone, and it helps the day go by.

Is this considered cheating? I don’t think it is because my ex and I live in different states and the chances of us ever getting together again are slim to none. — PASSING TIME

DEAR PASSING TIME: This isn’t harmless fun; it’s a threat to your marriage. Whether I consider it cheat-ing is beside the point. Whether your husband and your ex’s fiancee would consider it cheating is the question. If they got wind of your “pastime,” I suspect both would be hurt, angry and feel violated. Not only that, you could lose Husband No. 3.

DEAR ABBY: My 2-year-old daughter has recently become boob-obsessed. The first thing she does in the morning is point at my chest and say, “Boobs!” If she hugs me, she tries to grab them. Sometimes I catch her staring at my chest in fascination. I scold her when she grabs at them, but it’s disturbing.

I never taught her the word “boob” and feel annoyed that she probably learned it from our sitter. When I spoke to the sitter about it, she

laughed and said it’s perfectly normal and that a lot of kids are boob-ob-sessed. But it doesn’t seem normal to me, and I’m creeped out.

I have started wearing sweatshirts to keep covered up. My little girl has also started grabbing my butt and lifting up my shirt, and I’m nervous about how she’s acting around the sit-ter and other women in the family. Is this behavior normal? — CREEPED OUT IN VALENCIA, CALIF.

DEAR CREEPED OUT: Chil-dren have been known to act out to get attention. If a parent acts shocked at something the child does or says, the child will repeat the action for its shock value. Because you are con-cerned that your daughter’s behavior isn’t normal, the person to discuss this with would be her pediatrician. The doctor can put your fears to rest or alert you if there is something to worry about.

Another thought: Ask your baby sitter to be more circumspect in the language she uses around your child if the word “boob” offends you, because children build their vocabularies re-peating the words they hear.

Ben Schuff/Daily NewsColfax-Mingo pitcher Jarrod Nichols tries to apply a tag at home following a wild pitch while as Pella Christian’s Jason Holwerda crosses the plate safely for a run. Pella Christian won in fi ve innings, 15-1.

COLFAX — Throwing fi rst-pitch strikes, infi elders doing a better job of keeping opposing base runners honest on the base paths and his catcher doing more to help his pitcher were all on Seth Milledge’s list of needed improve-ments for his Colfax-Mingo base-ball team following yet another lopsided loss Tuesday night.

So goes the season for Milledge’s Tigerhawks, a varsity group con-sisting of more eighth graders than seniors trying to rebuild while withstanding crushing defeats.

Colfax-Mingo lost its sixth run-rule shortened game, this time in a 15-1, fi ve-inning affair against Pella Christian. It was the second straight night the Tigerhawks lost a run-rule shortened game.

“Just trying to stay positive, be-cause again, we’re building for the future of this program,” Milledge said in a defl ated tone refl ective of his team’s 14-run loss. “Just trying to keep these guys positive, try-

ing to do the right things [and] not letting them get their [heads] down.”

In similar fashion to Monday’s 19-4 loss in which Roland-Sto-ry scored eight runs in the fi rst, Colfax-Mingo’s woes began again in the fi rst inning against Pella Christian. A pair of fi elding errors by eighth grade shortstop Jona-than Jacobs complicated a lead-off walk and three hits by the Eagles, resulting in a four-run defi cit be-fore Colfax-Mingo came up to bat.

“We can’t start off a game in a four-zero hole,” the fi rst-year head coach said. “We don’t have the fi re-power to get into things like that. We manufacture runs that we get.”

Milledge’s pitchers fi nished the game with more hit batters (fi ve) than his team had hits (four). Three of those errant pitches that found opposing batters occurred in the third inning when the game spiraled out of control for Colfax-Mingo.

Cards push Hawks to the brink, lose doubleheader

NEWTON — Going toe-to-toe with Class 1A third-ranked Lyn-nville-Sully’s Hawks, Newton’s Car-dinals were down to their fi nal out in the opener of Tuesday’s non- confer-ence doubleheader. They trailed by one, 3-2, after the Hawks produced two runs in the sixth inning.

Sophomore Kari Adams faced the Hawks’ junior pitcher Madison Ras-musson. Adams parked a pitch over the left fi eld fence to tie the game at 3-3. The teams were headed to extra

innings.Lynnville-Sully manufactured

three runs in the eighth to gain the advantage for a third, and fi nal, time in the game. Newton produced a run in its half of the inning but that was it. The Hawks booked a 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

The teams continued the tight run in the second contest, playing four scoreless innings. Lynnville-Sully struck for three runs in the top of the fi fth and Newton pushed a run across in the bottom of the frame. The Car-dinals scored a run in the seventh, but dropped a 3-2 decision to the Hawks.

Newton dropped to 2-8 overall and Lynnville-Sully improved to 12-1.

In the fi rst game, the Hawks broke a scoreless tie with a run in the third inning. Kristal Beyer singled to left fi eld and Haley James went in as a courtesy runner. Lysandra James laid down a sacrifi ce bunt and Haley James scampered all the way into third on the play. Rasmusson had an RBI sac-rifi ce fl y.

With one gone in the fi fth, the Cardinals produced two runs to take the lead. Lizzie Stock doubled to left center fi eld and scored on an error as Sydney Jenkins reached safely. Jenkins ended up at second base on the play. Madison Bagnall’s base hit drove in Jenkins.

The Hawks used “small ball” to re-gain the lead in the sixth. Rasmusson had a bunt single, stole second and moved to third on a bunt single by Kasiah Ehresman. Ehresman scram-bled to second base while Newton kept Rasmusson at third.

Shelby Davis connected for Lyn-nville-Sully. A run scored and every-body was safe on a fi elder’s choice. Becca Vos worked a walk to load the bases, but Jenkins snapped a throw to third base to pick off Ehresman for the fi rst out of the inning. Bren-na Lanser drew a walk from Newton pitcher Ashton Hoffman to fi ll the bases again.

Davis beat a fi elder’s choice throw home and the Hawks still had the bas-es loaded. Hoffman and the Cardinals worked out of the jam, retiring the

next two batters. Newton trailed 3-2.They didn’t tie it up until Adams’

seventh-inning home run.Davis led off the Hawk eighth

with a double and stole third base. Vos drove in the go- ahead run with a base hit and came around to score on a double by Shaylin Lukehart. Beyer chased home another run on a single, but was thrown out trying to stretch it to a double to end the inning.

Hoffman cranked out a one-out double in Newton’s eighth in-ning. Kaytlin Ahn singled then Alex Hutchinson drove in a run on a sacri-fi ce fl y. Rasmusson got Fran Lucas to pop out to end the game.

Hoffman took the pitching loss, allowing nine hits and walking three. Rasmusson gave up eight hits and struck out one in a winning pitching performance for the Hawks.

Bagnall and Jenkins each had two singles. Adams hit the home run while Stock and Hoffman each had a double for Newton. Ahn singled.

Vos and Lukehart led Lynnville-Sully’s offense with a single and a double. Beyer hit two singles. Davis doubled while Rasmusson and Ehres-man each had a single.

In the second game, Lukehart led off the fi fth with a solo home run for the Hawks. Singles by Rasmusson and Beyer along with two Cardinal errors plated two more runs.

Newton had four of its 10 hits in the bottom of the fi fth. With one gone, Hutchinson, Lucas, Bailey Da-vis and Stock had base hits, but the Cardinals came up with just one run.

MIAMI (AP) — Maybe in a video game. Possibly in the pregame layup line.

But shoot this way in the NBA Finals, against the two-time de-fending champions?

“It’s not something you can plan for,” San Antonio reserve Manu Ginobili said. “There was no magic plays. We just moved the ball and every shot went in.”

Not quite every shot. But just about.

Kawhi Leonard scored a career-high 29 points, and the Spurs made a fi nals- record 75.8 percent of their shots in the fi rst half in a 111-92 vic-tory over the Miami Heat on Tues-day night that gave them a 2-1 lead.

The Spurs made 19 of their fi rst 21 shots and fi nished 25 of 33 in the fi rst half, bettering the 75 percent shooting by Orlando against the Lakers in the 2009 fi nals.

“It’s a hit-or-miss league,” Mi-ami’s Dwyane Wade said. The Spurs didn’t do much missing.

“I don’t think we’ll ever shoot 76 percent in a half ever again,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.

The Spurs led by as much as 25 and were only briefl y challenged in their second lopsided victory in the series.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had 22 points for the Heat, who host Game 4 on Thursday.

Returning to the arena where they were oh-so-close to winning

a fi fth championship last year, the Spurs came out playing like they were trying to build a lead that was impossible to blow.

They shot 13 of 15 and led 41-25 lead after the fi rst quarter, then hit their fi rst six shots of the second in front of a stunned crowd in Miami to go ahead 55-30.

Leonard scored only 18 points in the fi rst two games, looking frus-trated while getting into foul trouble trying to defend James in Game 2. But he had his outside shot working early, making his fi rst six shots and fi nishing 10 of 13 from the fi eld.

“I just found a rhythm and my teammates found me the ball. I made shots,” Leonard said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings are close to finishing off the New York Rangers in a big hurry.

The All-Star goalie had his best game of the finals by far, making 32 saves to put the Kings on the cusp of another coronation with a 3-0 victory over New York in Game 3.

Los Angeles escaped with two overtime wins at home and then took complete command inside Madison Square Garden to take a 3-0 series edge. The Kings are a win away from winning their second Stanley Cup in three years.

New York will face elimination at home tonight in Game 4.

Pella Christian already led 5-0 heading into the third when the Eagles scored six runs on only two hits and a sacrifi ce fl y. A fi elding error prevented Colfax-Mingo from recording the second out dur-ing the inning’s third at-bat. The Eagles capitalized by loading the bases and then scoring on a wild pitch and adding another run later in the inning on a double steal.

“Is that we’re just getting into the dog days of summer and I’ve got kids playing JV games and also varsity games and they’re just getting tired? Maybe. Maybe that’s it,” Milledge said. “I’m not going to sit here and blame (the third inning) on that be-cause we have guys that want to play. We just have to come ready every play, every day and be ready for that next ball hit to us.”

Trailing 15-0, the Tigerhawks earned an extra in-ning of play in the fourth by scoring one run. Juan Gonzalez’s RBI single prevented the game from ending after the fourth; high school rules state a game ends when one team has a 15-run lead after four innings.

Colfax-Mingo had an opportunity to cut into

Pella Christian’s lead in the fi rst inning, but ground outs from Colin Lourens and Gonzalez with run-

ners on second and third prevented the Tigerhawks from scoring.

“That’s one of our biggest issues right now is not coming up with those clutch hits, you know, when we have runners on second and third and we have one or two outs,” Gonzalez said. “We’ll have a strikeout and a ground out or something for that second and third out. Just no runs are coming across.”

Colfax-Mingo has given up 45 runs in its last three games, the most in any three-game stretch so far this season. Milledge explained the balancing act he’s trying to perform of keeping his young squad interested while pushing for improvement.

“For me, it’s not OK to come out here and get 15’ed,” Milledge said. “We got 10’ed last night and 10’ed tonight. We played quality teams, don’t get me wrong, but that’s got to hurt. We have to want to come here tomorrow and work our tails off to get better.”

“We want to have fun with what we’re doing, but we’re here to win ball games ... You’re going to have to take some constructive criticism. If I don’t like what I’m seeing there, I’m going to let you hear it.

“It’s not alright to lose the way we are. I’m trying to let them know that.”

Baseball: Six-run third inning leads Pella Christian over Colfax-MingoContinued from Page 7A

The Cardinals left the bases full in the sixth inning. Lucas and Stock had back-to-back singles in the seventh. Lu-cas scored, but the Hawks worked out of trouble to win the game.

Rasmusson was the winning pitcher. She walked one and struck out four. Stock took the pitching loss for Newton, strik-ing out four.

Lukehart had the home run and single for the Hawks. Lysandra James hit a single

and a double. Hitting a single each were Rasmusson Ehresman, Jade Van Rees and Beyer.

Lucas was 3-for-3 for the Cardinals with three base hits. Stock and Davis each had two singles. Jenkins, Bagnall and Hutchinson had a single each.

lost its fi rst game of the season Tuesday night.

The Mustangs fell a run short in the seventh of forcing extra innings and lost, 6-5, to Class 4A No. 5 Carlisle.

PCM led, 2-1, until the top of the sixth when Carlisle (9-1) broke out for fi ve runs.

Trailing 6-2, PCM scored three runs in the seventh.

Kayla Jennings took the loss for the Mustangs. The freshman did what she could to help her own cause, going 2-for-4 at the plate. Senior Krystal Pendroy went 2-for-3.

Russell’s double leads C-M to winCOLFAX — A walk-off hit from

freshman Amy Russell Tuesday night gave Colfax-Mingo its fi fth win in the team’s last six games.

Russell hit a double to center fi eld in the seventh inning, scoring Alivia Hal-ey for a 4-3 victory over Pella Chris-tian. Haley, who reached base via a hit by pitch, was ruled safe at the plate as a throw home came out of the catcher’s glove.

After Pella Christian took a 3-2 lead in the fi fth inning, the Tigerhawks tied the game in the bottom of the sixth when an infi elder’s error allowed Jade Lewis to even the score at 3-3.

Colfax-Mingo (8-3) turned a crucial

double play to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the seventh, setting the scene for Russell’s winning game hit.

Russell fi nished 3-for-4. Lewis, Alivia Haley and Rhiannon Haley all had two hits.

Two eighth graders completed the game in the circle for the Tigerhawks. Ries Wilson pitched the fi rst six innings, giving up six hits and striking out three, before Mackenzie Garrett came on in re-lief in the seventh.

CARDINALS 1, RAYS 0ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) —

Adam Wainwright became the NL’s fi rst nine-game winner and the St. Louis Car-dinals beat Tampa Bay 1-0 on Tuesday night, the Rays’ third straight shutout loss.

The Cardinals have three consecutive shutouts for the fi rst time since April 2013. St. Louis, with 13 shutouts this season, was coming off 5-0 victories over Toronto on Saturday and Sunday.

Tampa Bay has been blanked an AL-leading 10 times. The Rays, who have lost 14 of 15, have not scored in 28 innings.

Wainwright (9-3) scattered seven hits over seven innings. Trevor Rosenthal got four outs, including a bases-loaded pop fl y by Matt Joyce in the eighth, for his 17th save.

Matt Holliday put the Cardinals ahead with his fourth homer, a long drive to left-center in the sixth off tough-luck loser Jake Odorizzi (2-7).

TWINS 4, BLUE JAYS 0TORONTO (AP) — Brian Dozier hit

a two-run home run, Kevin Correia won for the fi rst time in four starts and Min-

nesota beat Toronto.Newly signed slugger Kendrys Morales

had two hits and scored a run as the Twins avoided falling a season-worst fi ve games below .500.

The Blue Jays were shut out for the third time in four games.

Correia (3-7) allowed six hits, walked one and struck out one in six innings. It was his fi rst scoreless outing since Aug. 27, 2013, with seven innings against Kan-sas City.

J.A. Happ (5-3) lost for the second time in three starts for Toronto, allowing four runs, three earned, and six hits in 3 2-3 innings. He walked three and struck out three.

CUBS 7, PIRATES 3PITTSBURGH (AP) — Anthony

Rizzo homered, doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead Chicago over Pitts-burgh, spoiling Gregory Polanco’s much-anticipated debut.

Pinch-hitter Luis Valbuena’s two-run double off Casey Sadler (0-1) broke a 3-all tie in the sixth.

Travis Wood (6-5) allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings.

Astrograph

The luckiest full moon of the year is coming: the full moon in Sagittarius. However, it also should be noted that good for-tune often comes in odd, unpredictable packages. Lately it’s like the cos-mic forces are playing a game of “Deal or No Deal” with us, making us guess to claim our luck. What are your instincts telling you?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 11). The setbacks you suffered in the past give you a definite ad-vantage this year. You’re attractive and will have many social opportuni-ties. Financial dealings done exactly by the book bring a July windfall. August brings a highly charged political atmo-sphere. Use strategy and play the game to serve the highest good. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 19, 33, 58 and 2.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The dreamy retro-grades will affect you positively today. You’ll be struck with an idea about how things should be, and that vision is

what will drive you, and a whole lot of other people, forward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If everyone is agree-ing at all times, that does not mean there is no conflict. It might instead mean that there is a dys-functional and passive-aggressive dynamic at work. Dare to disagree. It’s healthy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone is so blinded by your dazzling skills that he seems to be toss-ing you every task that comes along. Pull others into the picture, and utilize their strengths, as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is not possible, nor is it wise, to take all of the suggestions that people give you. But when you do take one, you’ll give credit and make your supporter feel valued, indeed!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You find the world extremely interesting, a testament to your curious mind and joyful coun-tenance. You’ll inspire

someone who is sleep-walking through life to wake up and take a look around.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s something you need to do within a certain time frame, and you’re not mess-ing around. You know a wasted moment when you live it. Through vigilance, you’ll stay on track.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your toler-ance for the unorthodox will lead to good fortune. There is remarkable good that comes from unusual and odd people who are not widely ac-cepted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If ignorance is the root of all evil, then it makes more sense to teach than to fight. Un-fortunately, not everyone is open to learning, but lead by example anyway, and this could change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you think about what you had to do to get where you are, your self-esteem

grows. The obstacles you’ve overcome are more indicative of your level of success than the position you hold.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People will be hon-est with you when they have nothing to lose. But truth goes out the window when they want something very badly. To gauge the situation, estimate the stakes. Fac-tor in desire.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What you learned long ago has been hang-ing around in your brain, waiting for the mo-ment to be useful. That moment arrives today. You learned it then; you understand it now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is easier to exercise self-discipline if you do not happen to have much of an ap-petite. Hungry people, however, are seldom very controlled. Also note: Today’s hunger is not for food.

New pastor ready to serve First Presbyterian

Church’s new pastor, Reverend Meghan Da-vis, has been enjoying her first week leading the congregation and getting to know the community of Newton.

“It’s been good,” Meghan said. “I have been meeting a lot of people. It was great to have the ice cream so-cial during my first week because it gave me an opportunity to meet people, not just from the church but from the community as well.”

“Since I am brand new, I wasn’t exactly sure who was from the community and who was from the church,” Meghan added with a laugh.

Meghan has had a chance to venture out and enjoy her new com-munity by learning the

layout of the town.“Newton is a great

town, and I’m excited to be here,” Meghan said. “I find the community to be very welcoming and friendly. Everybody has been happy to meet me, and I have been happy to meet everyone. Overall, I find the town to be very charming, and I love the downtown and small town feel of New-ton.”

Although she is new to the community, Meghan has been doing her homework on New-ton.

“I am excited about all the parades from the Fourth of July parade to the Christmas parade,” Meghan said. “I am ex-cited about the election season, which I can ad-mit that I am excited about that. I am excited about the sculpture fes-tival. I’m looking for-ward to checking out the farmers’ market. I’m ex-

cited about community events at Maytag Park.”

Meghan is especially interested in the New-ton Community Theatre and said she has worked in professional produc-tions.

“For the time being, as I get myself settled into the community, I will just be a viewer but will get involved with the theater sometime in the future,” Meghan said.

Meghan has a mas-ter’s degree in theater history and criticisms, which gave her the op-portunity to work in professional theater as a dramaturge.

“It’s difficult to define this position in theater as it varies from per-son to person and proj-ect to project,” Meghan said. “The most succinct definition that a drama-turge does is research for a play. Before a play goes into production,

a dramaturge will do a lot of research on the time period of the play in the context of the playwright for the actors and the director. A lot of times the dramaturge will write program notes for the audience mem-bers and even do lobby displays about the play for established plays.”

“For new plays, a dra-maturge will work with the playwrights to help them write their play,” Meghan added. “Dur-ing production the dra-maturge would act as a third person with the playwright and the di-rector to ensure that the production of the play is as close to the play-wright’s intention as possible.”

Meghan feels her theater training has been very useful in the church to help her create wor-ship services that flow and make sense.

“Theatre is very much about collaboration and that is also what church
