Ground broken for new veteran memorials

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsGround has officially been broken for the new Jasper County Veterans Memorial that will make its debut on the east side of the Jasper County Courthouse lawn on the Fourth of July. The commit-tee behind the upcoming memorial held a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday morning and each member represents an era of military conflicts. Pictured (from left) are Marvin Morris (Korea), Wallace Schermerhorn (Community Liaison), Keith Thorpe (Vietnam), Bob Thorson, (center with shovel, World War II), Barney Bushore (Corporate Sponsor), Marta Ford (Community Liaison), Doug Bishop (Desert Storm) and Chris Chartier (Iraq and Afghanistan).

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsDot Logan sells luminarias in the lobby of Park Centre to support Relay for Life. She will be present from noon to 2 p.m. June 6, 9 and 10. Dot beat breast cancer in 1983 and has been helping support causes against the disease ever since. Jasper County Relay for Life is set for 6 to 11 p.m. Friday, June 13, at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Beating breast cancer inspired Logan to support Relay for Life

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

In the summer of 1983, Dot Logan was on break from her job teaching special education at Newton Senior High School when she noticed some-thing different about her left breast.

“At that time, I had a very large, rapid growing carcinoma, and then they removed that. What they did (next) was remove the breast, ” Dot said.

Dot, 82, was in her 50s when she battled breast cancer. During this time, the Susan G. Coleman Founda-tion was in its infancy, funding and re-search wasn’t as ample as it is now, and

publicly discussing the disease was still considered somewhat of a taboo.

For the next six months, Dot would undergo chemotherapy but said she didn’t require any radiation therapy. She also didn’t let her battle with cancer stop her from doing what she loved.

“I loved every minute of it,” Dot said about teaching. “I liked working at the high school. I was busy and en-gaged in a career that I felt was worth-while. I didn’t take any time off. It happened in the summer, but I didn’t start the chemotherapy until the fall.

Main Street Iowa design team visits NewtonBy Zach Johnson

Daily News Staff Writer

The Main Street Iowa design specialists came to Newton for its first visit Wednesday, meeting with the Newton Main Street design committee to share about the services Main Street Iowa of-fers along with specific strate-gies for downtown Newton.

“The design department deals with all things physi-cal: buildings, the streets and public areas, which can be broken down into two different types of improve-ments — building and public improvements,” Iowa Main Street Design Consultant Tim Reinders said.

Building improvements include maintenance, fa-cades, interior rehabilita-tions, floor conversions and renovations. Public improve-ments include everything be-tween the buildings: streets, sidewalks, infrastructure and amenities.

The presentation showed renovating downtown is not just about reconstructing downtown but rather pre-serving it.

“Why should you want to preserve your downtown?” Reinders said. “Some build-ings are worth saving be-cause they are good to look at. They are a gift to the street that enriches their sur-roundings.”

Reinders further explained many of the old buildings found around downtown Iowa, including Newton, still have plenty of life left in them and represent the his-toric identity to the town.

“Some buildings are adapted for other innovative and multiple uses,” Reinders said. “And others are worth saving because they are a link to our past and help us un-derstand who we are.”

Reinders said older build-ings are starting to become the trend in downtowns across the country.

Umsted gives council update

on Get To Know Newton

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer

Newton Management Ana-lyst Natalie Umsted gave the Newton City Council an up-date Monday evening on the progress of the new brand-ing since it was launched four months ago in February.

“We have done a lot over the last four months,” Umsted said. “Our first goal of the “Get To Know Newton” brand campaign was to communicate and ener-gize the Newton community through outreach and events. The second goal is to create an online presence through social media and gettoknownewton.com. The third goal is to take on some paid advertising through the central Iowa region.”

Community leaders worked together for several month, talk-ing about the strengths, weak-ness and challenges that New-ton is facing to create a message built from a brand narrative.

“Our overarching message that we want to tell Newton residents and the central Iowa community was Newton has a strong education system, excel-lent recreational facilities and an ideal central Iowa location,” Umsted said. “As you see, ‘Get To Know Newton’ advertising and messaging will be based around education, recreation and location.”

The first goal of commu-nicating and energizing the Newton community through outreach and events have been done in multiple ways.

Gov. Terry Branstad recently signed legislation on environ-mental testing authored by Sen. Dennis Black (D-Lynnville).

Iowa is the only state in the nation where environmental testing services are required to collect sales taxes from their cli-ents, placing testing laboratories located in Iowa, such as Key-stone Laboratories in Newton, Waterloo and Kansas City, at a 7 percent disadvantage when com-peting with out-of-state testing firms.

“This legislation will allow our industry to more easily com-pete, and, in the long run, we

should be successful in providing additional testing services,” said Jeff King, owner of Keystone Laboratories in Newton.

Environmental testing com-panies provide professional ser-vices to cities, counties, state gov-ernments and private enterprise in response to federal and state laws. The legislation had a dif-ficult time in making it through the legislative process, with the Iowa Senate passing it in 2013 but the Iowa House not taking action on the bill until Black and Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) forced consideration by combin-ing the language to another bill at 2:15 a.m. on the final day of this year’s legislative session.

“Jeff King and I have been working on getting this legisla-tion passed for over a decade,” Black said. “In my opinion, it was an embarrassing impedi-ment to Keystone Labs to have Iowa as the lone state in the country to require this sales tax. Fairness was the primary issue, and certainly frustrating to me and the testing industry. It was a moment of pride for me to have this legislation pass both houses during the final hours of my leg-islative career.”

Newton’s Keystone Laborato-ry has a reputation as one of the Midwest’s top testing laborato-ries, employing 46 individuals at its three locations.

ObituarySean Miller

June 3, 2014

Sean Miller, 57, of Grinnell died June 3, 2014, at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.

A private fam-ily graveside service is scheduled for Thursday at Hazelwood Cem-etery in Grinnell with Pastor James Miller, pastor of the Christian Life Church in Newton, officiating. Pallbearers will be Frank Webster, Kelly, James, Jerred and Xavier Miller and Rob-ert and Mike Halter-man.

Memorial contribu-tions may be directed to the Sean Miller Memo-rial Fund.

Sean was born March 28, 1957, in Grinnell, the son of James Harri-son and Dorothy “Betty” Gardner Miller. He was raised in Grinnell and received his education

in the Grinnell School District.

On July 1, 1978, he was united in mar-riage with Cindi Brown Smith in Grinnell. They were later divorced and he then married Nancy Halterman on Oct. 27, 1990, in Grinnell.

Sean lived in Grin-nell all his life and was employed with the City of Grinnell for nearly 30 years. He was first employed at the water plant and later with the street department. He retired in 2011.

He was a member

of the Grinnell Elks Lodge.

Sean loved his fam-ily and was very proud of his grandchildren. He was an avid fan of NASCAR and enjoyed attending races at both the Iowa and Michigan speedways. He enjoyed many weekends at his backyard fire pit visiting with family and friends.

Survivors include his wife, Nancy of Grinnell; two sons, James ( Janelle) Miller of Monroe and Jerred Miller of New-ton; four grandchildren, Xavier, River, Harri-son and J.J. Miller; two brothers, Kelly (Deb) Miller of Galesburg and Colby Miller of Colo-rado Springs, Colo.; one sister, Barbara (Frank) Webster of Gilman; several nieces and neph-ews; and great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Kyle Miller.

Election night for a journalist is a bit hec-tic. After weeks and weeks of covering door knocking, roundtables and stumps speeches, elections culminate with a late night of num-ber crunching, precinct data and phone calls to candidates who are probably ready for the interviews to stop. Elec-tion day is what Mi-chael Scott from NBC’s The Office would call “Threat Level Mid-night.”

So after the polls closed and the results were tallied, I sat down for an evening of veg-ging. I turn on my T.V. set to find a Holly-wood-esq, movie trailer style epic featur-ing Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds declaring to all Iowans that this is “our comeback” (as in Iowa’s comeback). The music could have been played over a Bruce Willis montage as he and a group of un-likely heroes prepare to save humanity from calamity. Only 24 hours out from the elec-tion, I knew we were in for a media blitz to November.

Political ads, of course, are nothing new. But the increased frequency that we’ve seen in the past decade leaves voters feeling fa-tigued, and the message becomes white noise.

According to data compiled by the Cen-ter for Responsive Politics, $64,835,806 had already been spent nationwide by Super Po-litical Action Committees (PACs) during the 2014 midterm election cycle. Including trade associations, unions and other 501(c)(#) organizations, $108,564,610 has been spent.

Most of this money is coming from groups not affiliated with the states in which the campaigns that receive the money are operating. This has been the same warning we’ve heard from political watchdog groups for the last several election cycles, but it con-tinues to worsen with each passing election.

The answer is still, and always has been, public financing. Let’s give each candidate the same amount of money, funded by the tax payers, to make their case. But influenc-ing the balance of power has in our legisla-tive chambers has become such a big part of a successful business plan for the contribu-tors to Super PACs that we may never go back. With the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizen United v. Federal Election Commission, the system has been degregu-lated even further and it might take a consti-tutional amendment to keep the interests in congressional campaigns local and the bank account equal for all candidates.

The true citizens can attempt to unite and petition our lawmakers to move toward a fairly financed election system. But until then we’ll pop the popcorn, grab some couch and watch our potential leaders star in not-so-must see T.V.

I am a dog person.Nothing makes me feel as if

Earth is about to go spinning off its axis, flipping wildly into the abyss, more than folks who claim to be both a dog person and a cat person. Let me be clear: There is no such thing. It’s like being an Eagles fan and a Cow-boys fan. A Pollyanna and an Ebene-zer Scrooge. A lover of guardian an-gels and of the devil. Not that I’m say-ing cats are akin to Luci-fer, but to be fair, I think we can all agree they have a little gleam of evil behind their eyes. Though I can accept that perhaps a person can be OK with both spe-cies, cat and dog, cohabiting the planet, I fundamentally believe that every person has a preference. Anyone who doesn’t is just un-natural — clearly suffering from some mommy issues that should be worked out through intensive therapy.

Let me start by saying that I hate cats. I’m sorry; that was a little harsh. Let me try again. I hate cats.

Oops! There it was again. I’ll try to rephrase:

I am a dog person. Purely, com-pletely, 100 percent. Well, it used to be 100 percent. This past weekend opened my eyes to how the other half lives. No longer do I believe that all cat lovers are little more than foolish prey, unknowingly making themselves vulnerable to

the catastrophic kitty uprising, in which all felines named Whiskers will unite in the dismemberment of their love-struck owners. Just some.

Catpocalypse may seem ex-treme to you, but my feline fears are rooted in personal experience. For a stint after graduating college, I lived with my friend Emily. She was a year out of college and had settled nicely into adulthood with a teaching job, a fiance, an apart-ment and three cats. I, on the other hand, was working two full-time jobs waiting tables, homeless and crashing on Emily’s floor. A floor that I had to share with the enemy. Three of them.

I never liked Emily’s cats. Af-ter all, they were cats. But my as-suredness that felines are nothing but fur balls of malcontent was secured when I began waking up every night gasping for air, suffo-cating from the weight of the cats sitting on my face as they kneaded their claws into my shoulders.

They’d hiss. They’d scratch. They’d unleash their homicidal tendencies by smothering the slumbering. It was a summer of scares. My fear of cats validated, my hatred of cats vindicated.

Ten years has passed since those days, but when my son and I went to visit Emily last weekend, I was greeted by the same three furry foes.

My son is an animal person. Watching him chase down any-thing that walks on four legs, I have had to come to accept that 1) he is too young to understand that though there is no wrong answer, he must decide whether to be a cat person or a dog person and that 2)

being a cat person is the wrong an-swer.

For months, I have attempted to nonchalantly scoop my son off the sidewalk every time he has screeched in delight at the sight of a cat crossing our path, hoping he wouldn’t sense my fear. But here we were, in the enemies’ lair, and all my kid wanted to do was hang with the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

My son is kind, but he isn’t qui-et. He is gentle, but he isn’t well-balanced. He screamed in the cats’ ears. Toppled over on their heads. Stepped on their tails. Chased them around the apartment. Drove the cats crazy. But my son couldn’t tell.

Though my memory is filled with hisses and scratches and at-tempted murder through fur ball ingestion, the cats never once threatened or scared my baby. For the first moment in my life, I considered that cats may have one redeeming quality: selective homi-cidal tendencies.

Just as my defenses were down, I saw the viral video of the house cat coming to the rescue of a little boy who was being attacked by a neighborhood dog.

It was as if a cat took one of its terrifyingly long nails and sliced off a portion of my heart for fe-lines. Now I’m 90 percent a dog person. That’s probably as low as I’ll go.

The ancient Egyptians regard-ed cats as gods, to be revered and feared. Shouldn’t we trust the peo-ple who built the pyramids?

Guest Commentary

By Grant Mincy

As a boy in the southeast African nation of Malawi, William Kamk-wamba harnessed the wind. In 2002, drought and famine — common problems in one of the world’s least-developed countries — forced the boy and his family to forage for food and water as thousands starved.

Kamkwamba, however, knew if he could build a windmill he would bring water and electricity to his family. So he pulled together scrap metal, tractor parts and bicycles, constructing a pe-culiar, but functioning, windmill. The contraption was viewed as a miracle — it powered four lights and turned a water pump that ameliorated the cri-sis. News of his “electric wind” spread quickly and was emulated.

Kamkwamba’s story is one of dem-ocratic energy and neighborhood en-vironmentalism. Access to informa-tion left the boy free to replicate the science of windmills. After construc-

tion, his work spread throughout the region. This is a prime example of social power. The boy who harnessed the wind is testament to the power of two ideas: Open source content and co-operative labor.

It is this kind of market approach, not sweeping policy from a centralized authority, that will meet the demands of the 21st century.

Take the newly proposed United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation that aims to reduce carbon emissions. Hailed as a historic action, its mechanisms leave much to be desired.

Target emission reductions will be set for individual states. To meet these targets, states could renovate existing coal-fired power plants with “clean burning” technology — but clean coal is a dirty lie. States could switch to natural gas which produces less carbon — but natural gas emits methane at 21 times the greenhouse impact of carbon dioxide. State incentives to residents to

be more energy-efficient are low hang-ing fruit that can do much, but alone cannot likely get the job done. Or states can work under a cap-and-trade program through which offsets under-cut reductions, allowing big polluters to continue business as usual.

Furthermore, there still remain state enforced laws such as compulso-ry pooling and eminent domain which allow big polluters to disregard prop-erty rights and wreck natural habitats that naturally offer the ecosystem ser-vice of carbon sequestration. There still remain intellectual property laws that permit patent monopoly, produc-ing a barrier to competition in the market that could drive polluters un-der the regulation standard.

Conflict currently exists between the regulatory state and the energy elite, but it is latent. Utility monopo-lies such as Duke-Progress Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority (among others), coupled with industry giants King Coal, Big Oil and Fracked

Gas have a lock on the energy market. Because of the state-capitalist sys-tem other market players (and people like you and I) remain economically dependent on these elite. The state knows this and is loyal to them. Its economic strength is fueled by the en-ergy industry.

The very institution of the state en-courages environmental degradation and closed markets. It’s time to dis-mantle such an illegitimate authority.

Taking democratic control of these institutions may be difficult, but for what it’s worth, I remain an optimist. We continue to strive for the beauti-ful ethic of liberty. Until actualized, may we begin to disassociate as much as possible and take a lesson from the boy who harnessed the wind. In the open source technological age, with the resources and infrastructure avail-able to us, we can labor for neighbor-hood solutions and begin the magnifi-cent struggle for democratic energy. In fact we already have.

Neighborhood environmentalism: toward Democratic energy

“One of the ways is by hav-ing Get To Know Newton team members and myself speak at community events and meetings,” Umsted said. “We have spoken at over a dozen community meetings over the last four months that include Chamber breakfast, Kiwanis and Rotary Club meetings.”

The branding team has been hosting multiple events around Newton, with one of the major goals being to meet people where they were com-ing.

“We hosted a night at the Valle Drive-In, filled with games and activities,” Um-sted said. “The drive-in is one of those access points for lots of people outside of Newton. We looked around at license plates, and I would say that 75 percent of the plates were not Jasper County plates.”

The biggest community outreach event was the oppor-tunity to promote the commu-nity during the Get To Know Newton 250 NASCAR Na-tionwide race, which aired live on ESPN to a national audi-

ence of more than 2 million people.

“In being the title sponsor, we were able to do a lot of out-reach because of that,” Umsted said. “I expect that Newton will immediately experience a huge boom with that outreach that blows all our other out-reaches out of the water.”

During the race, the Get to Know Newton team set up Newton Street, a strip of the Iowa Speedway concourse filled with information on many organizations in New-ton.

“I thought it was a really good success, and people were having fun, but also people learned about Newton,” Um-sted said.

The second kind of out-reach the team is using is clas-sic print communication, pub-lishing quarterly newsletters that are being distributed to 6,000 households.

“We have had two of them come out so far, with another coming out in July,” Umsted said.

The branding team has been sending monthly e-newsletters and now has 1,400 subscribers. The team also has looked at the newtongov.org website to

see how it can be using that to communicate more efficiently.

“Since the brand has launched across all depart-ments, we have started using the Newton Newsflash fea-ture of our website to greater extent,” Umsted said. “New-ton citizens can get up to the minute updates as soon as in-formation is available. It’s up-dated all the time making our website more valuable and a better tool in letting our citi-zens interact with us.”

Since the launch of the brand and the race, the New-ton community is filled with banners and signs.

“We have had rotating ban-ner stands that have been dis-played at Skiff Medical Center and YMCA as well as some of our facilities,” Umsted said. “We also have banners in the downtown area and out by the speedway.”

The Get To Know Newton brand is on Facebook, Insta-gram and Twitter. The pages are filled with giveaway games and informational posts in re-gards to the brand.

“Once a week, we give away a coffee mug by placing it somewhere in the city,” Um-sted said. “I am blown away by

how people know every inch of Newton, and they can tell where it is within five minutes of posting the photo.”

One of the goals of using social media is to create new conversations.

“I don’t know if any of you are familiar with Raygun T-shirts, but they make kind of trendy shirts and are located in the East Village in Des Moines,” Umsted said. “Their T-shirts are usually very topical for cities or the State of Iowa. When they started to follow us on Twitter, we tweeted back, saying we liked their shirts (and asking if they would) consider a speedway design. Conversations with journalists and other people are happen-ing now via Twitter.”

The second part of using social media is the encourage-ment for people to partici-pate in the conversation about Newton by using the hash-tag “KnowNewton” across all of the platforms that the brand-ing uses.

“It’s really encouraging peo-ple to be using social media to communicate about Newton in a positive way,” Umsted said.

Another part of the online

out reach is the website get-toknownewton.com.

“If you haven’t checked it out recently, you need to go back and check it out because it’s being updated all the time,” Umsted said.

People who don’t have so-cial media accounts but want to remain updated on the new conversations happening about Newton can do so with the agitator tool on the web-site that can be accessed by the social tab on the site.

The agitator tool combines all of the social media posts from Facebook and Twitter for the City of Newton pages, the Get To Know Newton pages and all of the Get To Know Newton community partner’s pages.

“If you want to know com-munity news up to the minute in Newton this is the place to go,” Umsted said. “I think it’s the most reliable as it is very up to date. Its great because you don’t even need a social media account to engage all of it.”

In six months time, I lost three days of teaching. I was fortunate to be able to keep working.”

When she was fighting cancer, Dot said was able to remain positive because of encouragement from her late-husband, Tom, friends, cancer survivors and her colleagues at NHS.

“The same year that I had can-cer out at the high school, a teacher friend, Pat Montgomery, developed cancer and she lost the battle,” Dot said. “I naturally felt really bad (about Pat) and (for) others too and I wanted to honor (them) and help to avoid this

in the future.”Just because she’s a survivor doesn’t’

mean that Dot has ended her battle. Dot has become an advocate for fel-low survivors and people battling can-cer, and she has raised funds and par-ticipated in the Jasper County Relay for Life event since the early ‘90s.

“As soon as I did hear about it, I felt I liked to be a part of it,” Dot said of RFL. “It’s a favorite cause from every stand point. We really do have to fight for a cure and expand research, treat-ment, education and prevention.”

While participating in RFL, Dot has been representing teams from her church home, First Lutheran Church in Newton, and her place of residence Park Centre. She has been a member

of Team Ola as of late.“I think the idea of Relay is great,

because you go out and have fun and it’s a community effort. The entire community works together and at the same time you are working towards a very important cause,” Dot said.

Dot also admitted to loving the competitive aspect of RFL and wants to see her team raise the most money for cancer research. According to the Jasper County RFL website, Team Ola has raised $290 towards cancer research and Dot has raised $110 of it. She is hoping to raise more and is selling luminarias on June 6, 9 and 10 from 12 to 2 p.m. in the Park Centre lobby.

Luminarias are the white bags

where inspirational messages are writ-ten to honor survivors, and those who lost the battle, on the outside and that contain a candle on the inside. The luminarias are later placed around the track at H.A. Lynn Stadium, where the RFL event is held in the county, and the candles are later lit.

Park Centre is located at 500 First St. N. in Newton and the organization has promised to donate $300 if Dot can sell more than 30 luminarias.

Relay for Life be from 6 to 11 p.m. Friday, June 13, at H.A. Lynn Stadi-um in Newton.

downtown renovations that has an older, smaller and bet-ter mentality in being a mea-surement of how the charac-ter of buildings and blocks influence urban vitality,” Reinders said. “It simply says that people crave that unique

character that downtown brings with an older designed building being something that people like.”

The Main Street Iowa de-sign specialists implemented many before and after pictures of projects done throughout other Main Street Iowa com-munities.

“It’s about utilizing the tra-ditional character and origi-

nal design of buildings will always result in positive im-provements,” Reinders said. “Many times these improve-ments are simply remove later alterations that have obscured this original architectural character.”

The presentation covered the history, preservation and renovations of many down-town districts across Iowa, but

it revolved around the concept of a quote by well-known en-vironmentalist Baba Dioum: “In the end, we preserve what we love. We love what we understand. We understand what we have been taught.”

For more information on the services and specific ques-tions offered through the Newton Main Street design committee, contact Main

Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman or Design Committee Chair Rita Rein-heimer at the Newton Main Street office, located inside the Greater Newton Area Cham-ber of Commerce office.

time to give him a special touch or look. Sheenna always made sure he was comfortable and stayed on top of his pain. The best thing was she handled the situation with compassion and was conscious of his dignity. Sheenna never entered our room without a smile. She acted like we were her only patients

and never too busy for my father-in-law or the family. You need to know that she is an awesome nurse!”

The sentiments were similar in the nomination from Michelle Lewis, who wrote, “Sheenna cared for my father-in-law during his last days. She was at-tentive to all his needs. She always was proactive on giving him pain meds to keep him out of pain and comfortable. She was very attentive to family as well. She was always available for any ques-

tions we had. As his time lessened, she was great at checking in with him and the family. We truly appreciated all her time and kindness to him and her fam-ily. Your hospital is a better place due to her kindness and compassion.”

As she accepted her award, Bach-man noted that her colleagues make high-quality care possible. “I work with a really great team,” she said, wip-ing away tears. “Thanks for the oppor-tunity to work with all of you.”

Bachman was among a total of six nurses nominated for this quarter’s DAISY Award: Lisa Dobbie, Carol Hammer, Dawn Karnes, Jen Maki and Jenna Seals. The DAISY Award, presented in collaboration with The American Organization of Nurse Ex-ecutives, is part of the DAISY Founda-tion’s program to recognize the efforts nurses perform every day. Nomination forms are available throughout Skiff Medical Center.

DEAR ABBY: I just found out my husband was arrested for being with a hooker. My in-laws (whom I love and adore) bailed him out of jail. No one said a word about it to me. I don’t know how to confront all of them with the fact that I know about this “dirty little secret.” What should I do? — BETRAYED WIFE

DEAR BETRAYED: First, visit your gynecologist and ask to be treated for ev-ery STD known to man. Then invite your in-laws to a “family dinner,” tell them the cat is out of the bag and ask why this was kept from you. And while you’re at it, ask your mother-in-law (whom you love and adore) how SHE would feel if your father-in-law had possibly exposed her to an STD and it had been kept from her. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

DEAR ABBY: I’ll bet this is an issue in many homes. When my son “Chet” graduated from high school, we gave him a very nice graduation party, which in-cluded his friends and family. He received many gifts.

I gave my son thank-you cards, stamps, and a detailed list of whom to send the cards to. So far, he has refused. Chet is normally thoughtful and considerate. I don’t know what to do. I’m embarrassed by his lack of gratitude. I have told him we have received thank-yous from his friends and that the cards can be brief. Should I send the thank-you notes myself, or just let it go? — EMBARRASSED MOM IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR MOM: If the amount of mail I receive from readers complaining that their gifts are not acknowledged is an ac-curate barometer, your problem is very common. Without being confrontational, ask your son why he refuses to thank the people who gave him gifts. If the answer is he doesn’t know what to say and he’s embarrassed that he has procrastinated, offer to help him by making suggestions. You’re right; the thank-yous don’t have to be lengthy. But DO NOT write them for him. Chet is a big boy and the responsi-bility is his.

DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced, single woman in my 50s. I love my grandchil-dren dearly but am faced with a dilemma. I work full-time and take my grandchil-dren some nights and on the one day I have off — usually on weekends.

I can’t plan things on a weekend with-out feeling I have made it difficult for my son and his wife to find someone to watch their children. Her mom, a stay-at-home wife, watches them several days a week.

I want to continue spending time with my grandkids, but I also want the free-dom to be there when I choose to be. I realize finding a sitter you can afford and trust to watch your children is a chal-lenge. I have tried talking to my son, but it doesn’t seem to get through to him. I know I need to do something, but what? I’m afraid I won’t see the kids at all if I take a stand. — LADY ON THE LAKE IN MICHIGAN

DEAR LADY: Check your calendar and plan some time for yourself — one or two weekends a month. Then tell your son and his wife which ones you will be AVAILABLE. Free baby-sitting services are hard to come by, and you are not giv-ing yourself enough credit. If the unspo-ken threat is that it’s “all or nothing,” then, frankly, you should step back further and let your son and daughter-in-law shoul-der even more responsibility for the chil-dren they brought into this world.

Chia seeds are all the rage these days and with good reason. These seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition. Four grams of fiber are found in ev-ery tablespoon of chia seeds.

Fiber may be ben-eficial in blood glucose control, weight manage-ment, digestive health, cancer prevention and heart health.

Most of us think of fish when we hear omega-3 fats; however, chia seeds are also a very good source of these fats.

Omega-3 fats are good fats and may be important to brain health as well as heart health. Besides being a source of fiber and ome-ga-3 fats, chia is a good source of antioxidants.

The next time you are looking to include chia in a meal, look no fur-ther than this list of 10 great ideas. Here are 10 great ways to use chia:

• Smoothies or Yo-gurt - Add 1 tablespoon of chia to your favorite smoothie or yogurt

• Pudding - Make a delicious pudding using chia and milk or milk alternative

• Baked Goods - Add some chia to the recipe

• Egg Substitute - Soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 1/4 cup of water to replace 1 egg in a recipe

• Grilling Meats - Add chia seeds to BBQ sauce to thicken

• Breading - Mix chia seeds with panko or breadcrumbs to add fiber

• Pancakes and Waf-fles - Add chia seeds to the mix

• Soups - Chia seeds make an excellent thick-ener for soups

• Hot cereals - Top your favorite hot cereal or make a refrigerator oatmeal

• Tomato Juice - Add to tomato or vegetable juice to boost the fiber

Doctors use immune therapy against cervical cancerCHICAGO (AP) — Two years

ago, Arrica Wallace was riddled with tumors from widely spread cervical cancer that the strongest chemotherapy and radiation could not beat back. Today, the Kansas mother shows no signs of the dis-ease, and it was her own immune system that made it go away.

The experimental approach that helped her is one of the new-est frontiers in the rapidly advanc-ing field of cancer immunotherapy, which boosts the body’s natural ways of attacking tumors.

At a conference in Chicago on Monday, doctors also reported ex-tending gains recently made with immune therapies against leukemia and the skin cancer melanoma to bladder, lung and other tumor types.

The cervical cancer experi-

ment was the first time an immune therapy has worked so dramatically against a cancer caused by a virus — HPV. In a pilot study by the Na-tional Cancer Institute, the tumors of two out of nine women com-pletely disappeared and those wom-en remain cancer-free more than a year later. That’s far better than any other treatment has achieved in such cases.

Doctors are trying it now against throat, anal and other cancers caused by HPV, the human papillo-mavirus, and think it holds promise for cancers caused by other viruses, too.

Wallace enrolled in the study, and researchers removed one of her tumors, isolated special immune system cells that were attacking it, multiplied them in the lab and gave

billions of them back to her in a one-time infusion. They also gave her drugs to boost her immune re-sponse — “like Gatorade for the cells,” she said.

“It’s been 22 months since treat-ment and 17 months of completely clean scans” showing no sign of cancer, Wallace said.

Doctors are trying the treatment on several dozen more women with advanced cervical cancer and it could someday be offered at many cancer centers the way bone marrow and stem cell transplants are now.

Immune therapy struggled for years with just occasional small gains, but “now we have cruise mis-siles” giving better kill rates against many tumor types, said Dr. Steven O’Day of the University of South-ern California.

NORWALK — Newton’s Cardi-nal baseball players were stymied at the plate by the pitching of Norwalk senior Austin Lavelle Wednesday night. In their Little Hawkeye Con-ference opener, the Cardinals were held to two hits and struck out nine times against Lavelle.

Newton dropped a 4-0 decision to the hosting Warriors, who notched their fi rst win of the season. Newton and Norwalk are both 1-4 overall. The Cardinals are 0-1 in LHC play and the Warriors are 1-0.

Senior shortstop Chandler Sturtz singled to lead off the game for New-ton, but the Cardinals couldn’t put to-gether hits to score a run in the fi rst. Derek Wrage, a senior who started on

the mound for Newton, ripped a dou-ble leading off the top of the third in a scoreless game. Again, the Cardinals stranded base runners.

Norwalk broke the scoreless tie in its half of the third inning. With one gone, Tyler Schilling doubled. Mason Hughes went in as a courtesy runner and came around to score on a two-out single by Sam Acri.

The Warriors added two more runs in the fourth. Lavelle drove in both runs on a double to center fi eld. Two singles and a double-play grounder produced the fi nal run of the game for Norwalk in the fi fth inning.

Newton was retired in order in the sixth and seventh innings.

Wrage pitched two innings of one-hit baseball and struck out two War-riors. Jordan Travis was charged with three runs on four hits and three walks in two innings of work for Newton. Michael Barr allowed one run on three hits and one walk in two innings, plus struck out one batter.

Newton hosts Pella Christian at Woodland Park Friday for a Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader. First pitch is at 5:30 p.m.

NEWTON — Noted historian and baseball expert, John Liepa, pres-ents “How Iowa Met Baseball: The Myths, The History, The Players,” at the Newton Public Library on Mon-day, June 9. The program is for the whole family.

Library Meeting Room doors open at 5 p.m. for viewing of Liepa’s ex-tensive baseball memorabilia, includ-ing baseball cards. At 6 p.m, he will begin talking about the invention and origins of baseball and the fi rst players of baseball in Iowa. He will focus on players originating from Jasper Coun-ty and area towns.

“How Iowa Met Baseball: The Myths, The History, The Players” is a special presentation about the myths regarding the “invention” of baseball, the origins and evolution of the early game in the United States; how the Civil War played a role in accelerating the spread of the game; the very fi rst

mention of the game’s coming to Iowa in 1858, and how it caught on.

Liepa is a Professor Emeritus of History and Political Science at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC.) He has taught courses on American National Government; State and Local Government; Com-munity Organizing; U.S. History; Iowa History; World History; Af-rican-American History; Women’s History; Labor History; and World Geography since 1972.

Liepa has been honored as DMACC’s “Educator of the Year” in 2004; and received an “Excellence in Education” award in 2001. He is an avid collector, archivist and author of articles on Iowa’s baseball history, a 28-year member of the Society for American Baseball Research, and owns an extensive collection of Io-wan’s baseball cards and photographs from 1866 to the present.

NORWALK — Newton’s Cardinals just got on the scoreboard. They were down 5-1 after four in-nings. It was still a ballgame.

Unfortunately, Norwalk’s Warriors struck for six runs in the bottom of the sixth to close the door on the visiting Newton girls. Newton lost 11-1 in its Little Hawkeye Conference opener Wednesday night.

“We have to make the plays. We can’t have a rou-tine out turn into an error,” said Newton softball head coach Ashley Ryan.

Norwalk scored twice in the fi rst inning, once in the second and two more times in the third to build a 5-0 lead. Newton scratched out a run in the top of the fourth.

Sydney Jenkins and Lizzie Stock had back-to-back singles for the Cardinals in the fourth inning. With one out, Madison Bagnal was hit by a pitch. Jenkins scored the lone run for Newton. The Cardi-nals stranded six baserunners in the game.

“We need to be able to adjust at the plate better,” Ryan said, after the Cardinals only had three hits in the contest. Bagnal connected for a single in the game.

Stock took the pitching loss. She allowed 13 hits, walked four and struck out three.

Norwalk’s six-run fi fth inning was highlighted by a two-run home run by Katie Elliott. The Warriors are 5-0 overall.

Newton is 0-4 on the season and 0-1 in Little Hawkeye Conference play. The Cardinals host Pella Christian Friday in a LHC doubleheader at Berg Middle School. First pitch is at 6 p.m.

Area baseball/softball roundup

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter scored early Wednes-day night, but Greene County scored often.

CMB suffered its third loss of the season in a 6-1 defeat at Greene County. The Raiders were held in check most of the night by opposing pitcher Marissa Promes, who threw a complete-game fi ve-hitter for Greene County.

CMB’s lone run of the game came in the sec-ond inning when freshman Mikayla Eslinger hit her fi rst career home run for a 1-0 Raider lead. Eslinger fi nished the game 3-for-3 at the plate.

Promes didn’t give up much from that point on as she fi nished the game with 11 strikeouts and no walks.

Greene County tied the game in the third and took the lead in the next inning by scoring an unearned run. The Rams then roughed up CMB starting pitcher Heather Jessen for four more runs in the sixth, all but ending the game.

COLFAX — The Tigerhawks pounded out 14 hits and earned their second win of the week in a 11-4 victory over South Ham-ilton Wednesday night.

South Hamilton led, 3-1, heading into the bottom of the third inning when Colfax-Mingo batted around the order. Singles from Amy Russell and Erin Earles helped tie the game and then Brooke Nicholson gave the Tigerhawks the lead for good on a two-RBI double to right field.

Colfax-Mingo added three runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, which was more than enough support for its starting pitcher, Russell. The freshman threw all seven in-nings and struck out 10 batters while allow-ing one earned run.

The Tigerhawks also beat Colo-Nesco, 6-2, in a rain-shortened game Tuesday night.

C-M softball tops S. Hamilton

PRAIRIE CITY — The hits were even be-tween Roland-Story and Prairie City-Monroe Wednesday night. The end result was anything but.

Class 2A No. 3 Roland Story shutout the Mustangs, 4-0, despite both teams knocking out five hits each.

Junior Chase Keuning suffered his second loss of the year on the mound for PCM in an otherwise decent outing. The right hander al-lowed two earned runs and struck out two in six innings.

Two errors cost PCM (3-2) early in the game as the Norsemen scored three runs in the second inning and one more in the third.

Keuning went 2-for-3 at the plate and was the only Mustang to record more than one hit off Roland-Story starter Alex Muhlenburg, who pitched a complete game.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Don Zim-mer, a popular fi xture in professional baseball for 66 years as a manager, player, coach and executive, died Wednesday. He was 83.

Zimmer was still working for the Tampa Bay Rays as a senior adviser, and the team confi rmed he had died.

Zimmer had been in a re-habilitation center in Florida since having seven hours of heart surgery in mid-April.

After starting as a mi-nor league infi elder in 1949, Zimmer went on to have one of the longest-lasting careers in baseball history.

Zimmer played for the only Brooklyn Dodgers team to win the World Series, played for the orig-inal New York Mets, nearly managed the Boston Red Sox to a championship in the 1970s and was Joe Torre’s right-hand man with the New York Yankees’ most recent dynasty.

Zimmer was easily recognizable for the big chaw that always seemed to be in his cheek, and his storytelling was a treat for anyone lucky enough to hear him.

Beloved by many, his No. 66 jersey had been worn recently by longtime Tampa Bay third base coach Tom Foley in tribute. The Rays hosted the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night, and Foley was crying in the dugout.

Along the way, Zimmer played for Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel and coached Derek Jeter — quite a span, by any major league mea-sure.

It wasn’t always easy, either. Early in his career, he was beaned by a fastball and doctors had to put metal screws in his head. Many years later, Bos-ton pitcher Pedro Martinez tossed Zimmer to the ground during a fi ght between the Red Sox and Yankees at Fenway Park in the playoffs.

“Probably the best baseball man I knew,” Billy Connors, who coached under Zimmer on the Cubs, told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.

“We had a lot of great times. I loved listening to him every day,” he said.

Longtime baseball fi xture Don Zimmer dies KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Matt Carpenter

had a career-high fi ve hits, including the go-ahead double in the 11th inning, and the St. Louis Cardi-nals beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Wednes-day night to snap a three-game losing streak.

After the Royals rallied with two runs in the ninth, Peter Bourjos worked a one-out walk off Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera (1-2) in the 11th. Carpenter then rapped his double to center fi eld, drawing a roar from a crowd comprised mostly of Cardinals fans.

Allen Craig added a two-run single off Tim Collins later in the inning, and Pat Neshek breezed through the bottom half to end the Royals’ six-game winning streak against National League clubs.

Sam Freeman (1-0) earned the win with a per-fect 10th inning.

Carpenter became the fi rst Cardinal to record fi ve hits in a game since Ryan Ludwick on Sept. 4, 2009. He had a part in his club’s fi rst three runs, driving in Mark Ellis in the second inning and scoring on Matt Holliday’s groundout in the sev-enth

The Cardinals persevered after Adam Wain-wright blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning. He struck out Eric Hosmer to start it, but the ball

squirted away from catcher Yadier Molina, allow-ing Hosmer to reach fi rst base. Billy Butler fol-lowed with a crisp single up the middle.

Trevor Rosenthal, who took the loss Tuesday night, entered in relief and walked Alex Gordon on a full count to load the bases. Salvador Perez followed with a broken-bat groundout to score a run, and Lorenzo Cain’s single up the middle knotted the game 2-all.

The ninth-inning rally wasted a dazzling bounce-back start by Wainwright, who was trying to become the NL’s fi rst nine-game winner. The two-time All-Star did not allow a hit until the sixth inning, stranded three runners on third base and struck out eight while walking just two.

Wainwright wasn’t the only Cardinal to get on track, either.

Molina had hits in his fi rst two at-bats, snap-ping an 0-for-16 streak. Ellis ended an 0-for-8 stretch with his single in the second that led to the game’s fi rst run.

Jason Vargas kept Kansas City in it most of the night. After leaving the bases loaded in the fi rst in-ning, he went on strand 10 in a season-high eight innings. The left-hander allowed nine hits and walked two while allowing two runs or fewer for the fi fth time in six starts.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs are ending their partnership with WGN Radio, one of the longest such relationships in broadcast his-tory.

WGN Radio president Jimmy de Castro con-fi rmed Wednesday media reports that the Cubs are leaving the station after this season. The radio station has been the Cubs’ radio home for 90 years.

The Cubs say they’ll hold a news conference Thursday at Wrigley Field to announce a long-term broadcast deal with CBS-owned WBBM-AM. Cubs announcers Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer are expected to continue calling the team’s games.

De Castro says that parting ways was a diffi cult decision for the station. But he says the decision

was made after the station determined the busi-ness deal the Cubs insisted on did not make eco-nomic sense for the station, which fi rst broadcast the team’s games in 1925.

The Cubs haven’t had a winning team for sev-eral years, losing 288 games over the last three years, which has affected advertising revenue, ac-cording to de Castro. As a result, the radio station has lost money and would have continued to lose money had the team decided to renew its contract with the broadcast outlet.

The station exercised an opt-out provision in the contract last fall due to falling ratings and revenue. That move followed the Cubs’ decision to opt out of their WGN-TV deal to seek better long-term regional TV rights fees.

Cubs to leave WGN Radio after 90 years

SAN ANTONIO (AP) —LeBron James and Dwyane Wade can point to statistics showing just how close the 2013 NBA Finals were.

Tim Duncan doesn’t need them.He can’t forget the way his San

Antonio Spurs lost, especially since every replay brings another pain-ful reminder. The Spurs were on the verge of celebrating a fifth title in Game 6, and just two nights later were congratulating the Miami Heat on their second straight crown.

The Spurs wanted a rematch, and so did basketball fans. It begins Thursday in San Antonio.

“I think it ’s great that these two franchises have this opportunity in back-to-back years to compete for a championship,” Wade said Wednes-day. “Last year was an unbelievable series and ... it went down to the very end. We won the series by a total of five points, you know? That’s how close it was. But it was a very even series. I think this year it could be another great series.”

From Tony Parker’s circus shot that stole Game 1 for the Spurs, to Ray Allen’s 3-pointer that saved Game 6 for the Heat, to James’ jumper that put away Game 7, al-most every contest provided a new highlight. It deserved an encore, just

like when the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers seemed to pick up right where they left off in the 1980s.

The NBA hasn’t had a finals re-match since 1998, when Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls beat Utah for the second straight season. San Antonio is considered a slight favor-ite this time, perhaps a little deeper, healthier and better than it was last year, and owning the home-court advantage this time.

The Spurs don’t need to change much to change the result. They out-scored the Heat 684-679 over seven games, and there were 47 ties and 42 lead changes, according to STATS.

“If you look at the numbers, the lead changes, the ties and the points in that series, it ’s almost even,” James said. “So we did our part, they did their part.

“Both teams put themselves in a position to win an NBA champion-

ship, and we just happened to make one or two more plays to win it.”

Duncan, a three-time NBA Fi-nals MVP who had been 4 for 4 at this stage, wasn’t on the floor when the Spurs couldn’t come up with a rebound just before Allen’s shot. He then missed a shot and follow attempt from right in front of the basket in the final minute of Game 7 with San Antonio trailing by two. Not even getting back to the finals again with the league’s best record can make him forget.

“It lasts. I have a very good mem-ory, especially for my misses and losses. You keep those, you learn from them and you hope to change them next time,” Duncan said.

“That stuck with me and obvious-ly it ’s always in the back of my mind, and every time I see anything to do with that, it pops right back in.”

James had similar regrets in his first finals with Miami in 2011, but it ’s been all smiles since. The Heat are the first team to play in four straight finals since Boston from 1984-87, and can become the first three-time champion since the Lak-ers more than a decade ago.

But their focus is only on winning the next title, not reminiscing about the last couple.

“Last year is last year and we’re

excited about it, but this trophy this year belongs to nobody,” James said. “It’s up for grabs.”

Both teams have reason to think they will win it. Wade is much healthier than last year, when he needed extensive treatment before Game 7, and the Heat have been able to get him extra rest by losing just three games in the first three rounds.

The Spurs’ Manu Ginobili is also in much better shape this year and Patty Mills has emerged as an effec-tive point guard off the bench, giv-ing San Antonio options if Parker is slowed by the sore left ankle that knocked him out of Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.

It’s the sixth finals for the Spurs since 1999 and Miami’s fifth in nine years, but both face uncertain fu-tures. Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich could be near the end of their run together. James, Wade and Bosh can all become free agents this summer.

That’s for July. For now, maybe the teams can duplicate last June.

“You hope it ’s going to be a great series for both teams’ sake, for the fans that love our game,” James said. “You hope it can be one of the great finals appearances.”

Just like last year.

Astrograph

This is a particularly graceful Virgo moon, flitting through the cosmic landscape, form-ing auspicious angles, tossing out flirtatious intentions and agreeing with several planets at the party while daring to defy the host, the Gem-ini sun. An afternoon squared aspect to the sun may very well bring about the most interest-ing part of the day.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 5). Strong and energetic, you’ll set your sights on a goal you wouldn’t have aimed for last year. You’ll make the most of a glamorous opportunity in July. Your circle of friends enlarges as you follow unusual interests. You need better training, so invest in it in September and reap the financial rewards soon after. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 14, 26, 2 and 45.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is no “nor-mal” today; there’s only the way you’re doing it. If it works your way, it’s good. You’ll be content

for as long as you can re-main unconcerned about what the others think.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone can’t be thinking alike. If this seems to be the case, then someone is either not giving or not having a true opinion. Surprise and test people to make sure they are awake.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People who bring their body to one place but wish they were somewhere else have diminished power and charisma. Wherever you go, go with your whole being.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll get people talking to one another. The topic is less impor-tant than the result: the group becomes ener-gized. You can accom-plish remarkable things within an energized group!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just thinking about what you don’t want to do is an annoyance and an energy drain. That’s why you really can’t

afford to say “yes” if you know it’s something that doesn’t thrill you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Regulating your personal energy will be more of a challenge now, as life keeps throwing you different obstacles, opportunities and sourc-es of fresh excitement.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you get the urge to impress someone, pay attention to that urge, but don’t heed it. You’re already enough without doing anything extra. Less will be more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some are fast and loose with the word “genius,” and oth-ers reserve it for only the most outstanding and rare intellectual achieve-ments.There will be a benefit to giving generous but not overly generous praise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The first rule of dating is the same as the first rule of entertain-ment, conversation and perhaps even life: Don’t

be boring. Your interest-ing choices will dazzle across the board.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Cost and prod-uct comparisons will be a necessary part of business, but they are totally unnecessary (and ill-advised) in regard to your personal life. Thought: No one’s life is as fabulous as the Facebook page makes it seem.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be passing out praise. Note that it will be most helpful to praise a person for good efforts, not natural abili-ties. This will grow the number of efforts being made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It will be appar-ent how the town you are from has influenced you. You’ll notice that you’re doing something you learned when very young. Others might not understand it, but it’s part of the culture you were raised in.
