Ty Rushing/Daily NewsLocal veteran Dale Maki helped with the disposal of unserviceable flags during Newton American Legion Posts 111’s Flag Day ceremony on Saturday at Newton Union Cemetery. Legion members teamed up with Boy Scout Troop 354 and Cub Scout Pack 356 to help burn more than 2,000 worn flags.

Newton scouts and veterans lay ‘Old Glory’ to rest on Flag Day

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

It took two years to get it built and on Saturday, the new fire pit at New-ton Union Cemetery was broken in as close to 2,000 flags were given a proper send-off.

Members of Newton American Legion Post 111 partnered with Cub Scout Pack 356 and Boy Scout Troop 354 for the Legion’s annual Flag Day ceremony. Onlookers witnessed the torn, tattered and weather beaten versions of the stars and stripes be disposed of in a final blaze of glory.

“They’ve been in-spected and judged now to be unserviceable from now on. And now we will lay them to rest,” Legion member Paul Brown told the crowd.

After reading a passage and then holding a prayer, Legion member Wal-lace Schermerhorn played “Taps” on a bugle and then the veterans and scouts got to work. Adjacent to the pit were boxes of minia-ture flags that previously decorated the graves of lo-cal veterans, and the table next to it was stacked with

larger flags.Working together, the

organizations managed to properly dispose of the flags in about 20 minutes. Many Legion members were proud of how well the pit did in its first run. The idea to place a pit at Union was originally thought of by Ron Bookout of New-ton.

Bookout and the Le-gion raised the funds to have it erected and hopes

are high that it will serve the community for a long-time.

“When you guys are men, you can tell your chil-dren and grandchildren that you were first ones to use it,” Schermerhorn said addressing the scouts after the ceremony.

LaVera pleads not guilty to

enticing a minorBy Daily News Staff

San Diego resident David A. LaV-era entered a written plea of not guilty Monday after being arrested last week for allegedly luring a 14-year-old Bax-ter girl into his vehicle with intent to commit an illegal sexual act.

LaVera — who worked on the 2000 horror film “Underground” filmed primarily in Newton at the former Maytag Plant 2 — has been charged with enticement of a minor, a Class D felony; carrying weap-ons, an aggravated misdemeanor; and failure to have a valid driver’s license, a simple misdemeanor. He is being held on a $50,000 bond in the Jasper County Jail.

According to court documents, the 33-year-old engaged in inappropriate conversation of a sexual nature with the Baxter girl on Facebook while knowing she was a minor and also told her he had appeared in the “Twilight” movie series. Court records state La-Vera persuaded the girl to meet him on June 10 at the Baxter Commu-nity School Park, where he allegedly touched her inappropriately on the buttocks before luring her into his ve-hicle and driving around the Baxter area.

Authorities were notified of the incident at 1:28 p.m. Shortly after, a concerned citizen aware of the situ-ation observed the girl in LaVera’s vehicle, stopped the vehicle and told her to exit the vehicle. LaVera was apprehended a short time later. Dur-ing a search of his vehicle, authorities found a sword exceeding eight inches in length and four double-edged dag-gers within his reach.

Following LaVera’s arrest, it was determined LaVera visited Berg Middle School and Aurora Heights Elementary School and attended the BMS pool party during the final week of school. Newton Community School District Superintendent Bob Callaghan spoke at a press confer-ence Wednesday, stating two parents and a student recommended LaVera as a guest speaker at the schools. Cal-laghan said LaVera signed in under

Hee-haw! At zoo, donkey pals calm restless rhinoTBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Animals in the

zoo in Georgia’s capital are not allowed to be lonely, even if it means they end up with rather unusual companions.

A female rhinoceros called Manuela has made friends with donkeys, after failing to hit it off with either zebras or goats, while a lion cub neglected by his mother has bonded with a puppy.

Tbilisi Zoo spokeswoman Mzia Sha-rashidze said Manuela got depressed after the death of her mate and became aggressive toward her caretakers. The donkeys had an instant calming effect.

Des Moines police find nothing in

basement searchDES MOINES (AP) — Police

searching for the remains of a woman missing the past 54 years found noth-ing in the search of a Des Moines basement.

Officers checked the home Monday on relatives’ tips about Darlene Fitch-ett, who has been missing since 1960. Relatives told police they strongly be-lieve Fitchett was killed and buried in the home’s basement.

Two ground-penetrating radar scans last fall seemed to show an un-expected space under the basement. Police crews broke up the concrete on Monday, but officers and cadaver dogs found nothing. More holes were drilled around the basement, but the dogs found nothing.

The current owners of the house bought it in July 2013. Police say the owners have been cooperative.

Sgt. Steve Woody says po-lice will pay for the excavation, repairs and clean-up.

Q: Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. What’s the prognosis for this debilitating disease?

A: Many Iowa families know first-hand the heartaches and hardships that go hand-in-hand with this devastating disease. As patients’ identities are stolen by deteriorat-ing brain function, millions of caregivers across America shoulder the uncertainties of an emotional and physically exhausting roll-ercoaster ride. Bearing witness to a degen-erative loss of memory and cognitive ability, caregivers help loved ones navigate medical appointments, therapies, treatments, and in many cases, personalized around-the-clock care. By all accounts, the human toll bears immeasurable costs for both patients and caregivers.

The U.S. economy, from the taxpaying pub-lic to household bud-gets, will pay a growing price to foot the bill as health care providers and medical research-ers respond to the rising impact of Alzheimer’s in America. As victims suffer from progressive dementia and health-re-lated setbacks that erode independence, their caregivers endure setbacks on employment, income and financial security. The legions of caregivers in this country provide a tremen-dous service to loved ones with Alzheimer’s, volunteering billions of hours of care with an estimated economic value of $210 bil-lion. Considering 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day, the projected prevalence of the disease will put even more pressure on care-givers and the health care system, requiring more health care providers trained to diag-nose, treat and care for dementia patients.

A woman’s lifetime risk of Alzheimer’s is estimated to be 1 in 6, compared to 1 in 11 for a man. If progression keeps its cur-rent pace, roughly 16 million Americans age 65 and older will suffer from Alzheimer’s by 2050. The annual cost of caring for Alzheim-er’s and dementia is expected to reach $1.2 trillion that year, up from $214 billion today (that includes $150 billion in Medicare and Medicaid costs). At this pace, Alzheimer’s care would add up to $20 trillion over the next three decades. It will take all hands on deck, from grassroots advocacy to the lever-aged commitment of the public and private sectors that support research and develop-ment to address Alzheimer’s and other dis-eases impacting America’s aging population in the 21st century.

Q: How can Iowans affected by Al-zheimer’s disease make a difference?

A: Members of the Greater Iowa Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association recently trav-elled to the nation’s capital to make a per-sonal appeal to raise support for a cause so close to their hearts and homes.

Backing up their call for more research funding, caregiver support, education and public awareness, these grassroots advocates made an impressionable visit to Capitol Hill. Wearing purple and sharing their personal hopes and fears, ordinary citizens champi-oned their cause, asking lawmakers to ac-celerate medical research and funding for clinical breakthroughs that would make Al-zheimer’s preventable, treatable and curable. This is representative government at work.

Many have a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker who is coping with this devastating disease and seeking to extend a high quality of life for as long as possible. Too many victims have lost their dignity and their lives to this disease. Iowa has the third highest Alzheimer’s death rate in the United States having seen an 84 percent increase in Alzheimer’s deaths since 2000, according to the non-profit Alzheimer’s Association.

Q: Where can caregivers and patients turn to for help?

A: More than 30 years ago, President Reagan proclaimed the first Alzheimer’s Awareness month in November 1983. Three decades ago, two million Americans had Alzheimer’s. Today, more than 5.2 million Americans are living with this disease.

The nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association offers an online clearinghouse of information and message boards for patients and family members to connect via an online support system. Visitors can find answers to financial matters, treatments and research and support for caregivers. Go to www.alz.org for more information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also provides an online platform at www.alzheimers.gov to serve as a resource for caregivers and patients.

The First Amendment

By Cory Massimino

If you look at the official un-employment numbers without questioning the data, unemploy-ment seems to be sinking. In May employers added 288,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell 0.4 percentage points to 6.3 percent. It looks like the coun-try is finally recovering from the recession. But taking those num-bers at face value is a mistake.

A deeper look into the unem-ployment statistics reveals not only that the “official” numbers are misleading, but also that the state’s attempt at controlling and managing the economy is an ab-ject failure. In April, 800,000 people left the work force. Al-most a million people simply stopped looking for work. Addi-tionally, the number of jobs add-ed is too little to keep up with the nearly 7 percent increase in population growth.

Now, to a normal person, these statistics seem like a bad sign — a sign that job growth is not oc-curring and the economy is still in the gutter. But, in a crusade against common sense, govern-ment and media emphasize a sta-tistic that makes everything look much less gloomy than it actually it is. This statistic that everyone refers to improves when the la-bor force drops.

The most popularly used un-employment statistic only ac-

counts for the labor force and how many people in the labor force are jobless. When someone stops looking for work, they leave the labor force. This makes un-employment go “down,” despite no one getting a job. The person is still unemployed, but the sta-tistic shows their joblessness as an improvement. This leads to the national conversation about economic growth running com-pletely backwards. Pundits and politicians talk about how low the unemployment rate is and the amount of people who left the labor force is conveniently forgotten.

When the labor force dropped to a mere 62.8 percent of the population in April, tied for the lowest rate since the 1970s, the official unemployment statistic also dropped. More people left the labor force so less people were considered unemployed. The increasingly smaller per-centage of people considered in the labor force, not economic growth is driving the increas-ingly lower unemployment rate. But the state doesn’t want you to notice.

This bizarre construction of unemployment statistics could be construed as the mere stupidity of the state. After all, it’s portraying an illusion. The truth is buried deep below the official statistic. But it’s actually genius. States would fall if the truth about their

existence came out. While states are terribly pathetic at running economies, they are supremely good at creating propaganda. Especially when that propa-ganda conceals the true effects of state intervention. The state created the recession through an inflation-driven housing bubble. Then it worsened and prolonged the recession with bailouts and new regulations. Now the state has convinced people it has fixed the recession using, among other things, a misleading unemploy-ment measure.

The state demands unques-tioning obedience. That’s why the administration touts this statistic and ignores other, less generous (but more accurate), unemployment measures. If people learned unemployment numbers were just propaganda, they would lose confidence in the state: Specifically in its success at fixing the economy. This would be a huge constraint on the kinds of policies the state could pursue. If people were intellectually radi-cal and questioned the state, the state would lose all its power.

noon meal for me. At least two other men and three

women were there with me each day. They led us in exercise classes until I begged them to stop. I made five new friends!

If you have need for similar help, be sure and con-tact them. They provide a great service, and I’ve really enjoyed by days with them! PS: I’m 84 years of age.

Tuition, meal plan increases approved,

housing rates unchangedSpecial to the Daily News

GRINNELL – The Iowa Valley Commu-nity College District Board of Directors ap-proved a $5 per credit hour tuition increase for 2014-15 when it met in regular session this week in Grinnell.

In addition, the board approved a 4 per-cent meal plan rate increase for Marshall-town Community College and a 1.5 percent increase Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls. Housing costs for both MCC and ECC will remain unchanged for the coming year.

In discussing the tuition increase, IVCCD Chancellor Dr. Chris Duree told the Board that Iowa community colleges are increas-ing tuition by anywhere from $3 to $7 per credit hour statewide, with only one com-munity college holding the line on no tuition increase for fall 2014.

“We’re recommending this increase be-cause we didn’t get the state general aid that we anticipated this year. This is mid-range for the state, and we feel it’s conservatively in our best interest as an institution.”

The IVCCD Board approved a resolu-tion issuing not to exceed $4.75 million in industrial new jobs training certificates for three training projects with companies in Marshalltown and Tama, and then approved the sale and delivery of $4.64 million in cer-tificates to fund the training. The companies to receive training with these funds are Iowa Premium Beef of Tama, and Caleris and Iowa Choice Harvest, both of Marshalltown.

In personnel matters, the Board approved a 2014-15 master agreement with the Iowa Valley Community College Education Asso-ciation, covering faculty who teach at MCC, ECC, and Iowa Valley Grinnell. The new faculty master agreement calls for a base wage increase of 4.15 percent, resulting in a 3.6 percent total package increase. The Board also approved a 3.62 percent salary increase in 2014-15 for all regular full-time and part-time benefit-eligible employees, which represents approximately a 3 percent total package increase for that group.

A closed session was held to complete the Board’s annual performance evaluation of Chancellor Duree. Following the closed session, the Board approved a three-year employment contract for Dr. Duree with a 3 percent salary increase.

In other matters, the Board: accepted a gift of $125,000 from Brownells in Mon-tezuma for the Gunsmithing program at Iowa Valley Grinnell; approved a lease agree-ment with Main Street Real Estate in Mar-shalltown for storage of Orpheum Theater Center equipment; approved an agreement with Howgan Monitoring for security at the Orpheum; renewed an agreement with Mc-Farland Clinic for student health services at ECC; renewed an agreement with Iowa Falls Community School District for ECC’s use of the high school football and baseball fields; and approved new and revised policies relat-ing to new hire selection and employee trans-fer procedures, responsible use of computer resources, and use of social media.

IVCCD Human Resources Assistant Rosario Alvarez was recognized for gradu-ating with honors from William Penn Uni-versity with a bachelor’s degree in Elemen-tary Education and MCC Library Services Manager Mara Egherman was recognized for having had two book reviews and a book chapter published recently. Ricky Webster, MCC Coordinator of Sports Information & Compliance, was recognized for his work on transforming the MCC athletic website, where website traffic is up substantially from a year ago.

The next regular meeting of the IVCCD Board of Directors will be Wednesday, July 9, at 4 p.m. in Marshalltown.

The commission will receive the nomination with edits. Af-ter fixing the edits, McDow-ell will forward it to the NPS, which will have about 45 days to respond to the nomination. McDowell projects the commu-nity will find out if the Newton

Historic Preservation District will be placed on the National Register of Historic Places in August.

“This document is a part of the national archive, and I think it’s a really amazing thing,” Mc-Dowell said. “One hundred years from now, somebody who wants to know about Newton can go to that place, which holds the most important information about

the country, and it will be there.”In other action on Monday:• The council unanimously

“No one had any rea-

son to believe he wasn’t anybody other than Dave LaVera,” Cal-laghan said Wednes-day. “We don’t know what he was doing with students when he was signing his autographs. All I can tell you is, from the schools’ per-spective, he signed in as David LaVera, he was

introduced as David LaVera and everyone in the school adminis-tration and school per-sonnel believed he was David LaVera.”

Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich also said authorities are investigating a report indicating LaVera al-legedly took a 14-year-

old Newton girl for a walk in the park and asked her to “sneak out later so that they could make out.” LaVera has not been charged in connection with the Newton incident.

LaVera is scheduled to appear in court for a pre-trial conference at 2 p.m. July 2.

DEAR ABBY: May I sit in your chair and give some advice today? It’s aimed at men who place ads on dating sites and then wonder why they can’t meet “quality” women.

I’m an educated, decent-looking, middle-aged widow who has dated quite a lot through such ads and local social groups. Yes, it can be a jungle out there, but the Internet is a wonderful tool for bringing people together.

I live in a small town, and the pool of eligible men is smaller here than in metropolitan areas. That said, there are few profiles that attract my atten-tion and that of my divorced/widowed friends.

Gentlemen, some pointers:1. Smile! A dour expression is un-

pleasant.2. We may want to see you with your

shirt off after we get to know you, but it’s not the most appealing or refined pose for a first look.

3. Be realistic. If you are Joe Aver-age, we Jane Averages would enjoy meeting you. Are you REALLY going to hold out for a model who is a decade or so younger than you?

4. Be kind to the English language. You don’t have to be a genius, but it would be nice to know you can compe-tently communicate in writing.

5. Consider a shave. Some women like men with facial hair; the majority of the ones I know do not. About 75 percent of men over 50 have a mus-tache, beard or both. What are you hiding under there?

6. If you’re married and miserable, for goodness sake, go for marriage counseling or get a divorce. But please don’t deceive women who want to meet a nice guy to share life with.

In case you think I’m being too harsh, we gals welcome any suggestions from men who scroll through those female profiles looking for love. — SURFING IN PETERSBURG, ILL.

DEAR SURFING: I’m printing

your letter, and I’m sure the reaction will be interesting. The No. 1 com-plaint I’ve heard about Internet dating has to do with misrepresentation on both sides of the gender divide.

DEAR ABBY: My 83-year-old mother wants a tattoo! She loves clas-sical music and has decided to have a musical note tattooed on her shoulder. Should I institutionalize her, or chauf-feur her to the local tattoo parlor? — SHOCKED IN GARDEN GROVE, CALIF.

DEAR SHOCKED: At 83, your mother is old enough to make this de-cision without your blessing. She also appears to be young enough at heart that she may not need the ride.

DEAR ABBY: I am being divorced and my oldest son is being married. My soon-to-be-ex-wife does not want my girlfriend to attend. This has put a great deal of pressure on my son and his fiancee.

I left my wife for this woman. I love her and would like her to attend with me. What is proper? — DANNY IN DELAWARE

DEAR DANNY: Because your di-vorce is not yet final, leave your girl-friend at home. Her absence would be the most thoughtful and considerate gift you could give your son, his bride and your almost-former wife.

The aspect of daring someone to do some-thing can have many results on the life of an individual. About a year ago, Ayesha Munu was given a dare to sign up for an exchange student program that was of-fered at her school in Si-erra Leon. Ayesha didn’t back down from the dare, and a few months later found herself on a plane heading toward Iowa after she was ac-cepted into the program.

“It was that one dare that made me fill out the application, which made me get here,” Ayesha said. “If I had not done that I wouldn’t be here right now, so that one

dare truly changed my life for the better,” Aye-sha said.

The challenges didn’t end for Ayesha, as she faced many new chal-lenges through her 10 months in Iowa.

“I could list hundreds of dares, but to put it simple, it was getting through each day,” Aye-sha said. “I found myself putting a smile on my face when I was very nervous or scared be-cause I just wanted to go home.”

Ayesha only had a week to get settled in before beginning school in Baxter.

“Heading to school and simply understand-ing was something really big for me,” Ayesha said.

Ayesha joined groups

and activities to help her get to know her peers. In joining the Baxter FFA, she would leave her mark in the community, as she was a part of a team that made it to the state FFA competition, which was a first for Baxter.

“People would say it would add a feather to my cap,” Ayesha said. “I feel that it added doz-ens of feathers, because it’s not something you would think about — that a girl from Africa and a little homeschool girl that not a lot of people know can do something like that all by themselves.”

Ayesha has a Mus-lim background but attended church in Newton at the Congre-

gational United Church of Christ with her host family. In her 10 months here, she attended mul-tiple classes and events to share her story of liv-ing in Sierra Leon.

“The church has truly been friendly, and it’s truly a church where everyone is welcome,” Ayesha said.

Ayesha will finish up her work with the program with a trip to Washington, D.C., be-fore heading home to Si-erra Leon. Ayesha hopes she has inspired others to host a foreign exchange student, especially from third-world countries.

“It’s an awarding-experience, not just for the parents but for the student as well,” Ayesha said.

FSA county committee nomination

period under waySpecial to the Daily News

The nomination period for local Farm Service Agency county committees began Sunday. For 2014 COC Election, LAA 1 will be up for election. Members from LAA 1 in-clude those who are within the townships of Malaka, Mariposa, Hickory Grove, Newton, Kellogg and Rock Creek.

To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or co-operate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area where the person is nominated.

Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others. Organizations rep-resenting minorities and women also may nominate candidates. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign the nomina-tion form, FSA-669A. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. Nomination forms for the 2014 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on Aug. 1, 2014. Elections will take place this fall.

While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm ownership or operat-ing loans, they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency pro-grams, commodity price support loan pro-grams and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide, there are about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees con-sist of three to 11 members that are elected by eligible producers.

FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 3. Ballots are due back to the local county office either via mail or in person by Dec. 1. Newly elected committee members and alternates take office on Jan. 1, 2015.

Thousands without power in Iowa after stormsDES MOINES (AP) — Tens of thou-

sands of Iowa residents were without power early Tuesday after severe storms packing high winds and heavy rain crossed the state.

MidAmerican Energy had more than 27,000 customers without power early Tues-day morning due to the severe weather.

Alliant Energy reported nearly 12,000 Iowa customers without power, including about 6,000 in the Cedar Rapids area.

The Iowa Association of Electric Coop-eratives showed nearly 800 customers with-out power, with the most in Franklin County.

The storms were part of a large system that walloped parts of other Midwest states, including Nebraska.

Hay and Forage Expo starts June 25

Hay and forage producers can learn more about hay and forage production at this year’s annaul Hay & Forage Expo. It’s the indus-try’s only two-day hay and forage event in the nation.

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

Isolated storms bring needed moistureIowa Secretary of Ag-

riculture Bill Northey commented today on the weekly Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Strong storms con-tinue to roll through the state and cause iso-lated crop and prop-erty damage. However, they also bring needed moisture and crops that have avoided the severe weather remain in good shape, with 83 percent of corn and 79 of soybeans rated in good to excel-lent condition,” Northey said.

The report summary follows here:

Iowa farmers har-vested over 30 percent of their alfalfa hay acreage during the week ending June 15, according to the USDA, National Agri-

cultural Statistics Ser-vice. Both precipitation and temperatures were below normal for the week. Statewide there were 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork. Other ac-tivities for the week in-cluded replanting crops, spraying, and nitrogen side dressing.

Topsoil moisture lev-els rated 2 percent very short, 14 percent short, 78 percent adequate, and 6 percent surplus. Sub-soil moisture levels rated 4 percent very short, 23 percent short, 70 percent adequate, and 3 percent surplus. South central Iowa remained the wet-test with nearly one-quarter of the topsoil in surplus condition.

With almost the en-tire corn crop emerged, corn condition rated 1 percent very poor, 2 per-cent poor, 14 percent

fair, 63 percent good, and 20 percent excellent. Ninety-five percent of the soybean acreage has emerged, 41 percentage points ahead of last year and 9 percentage points ahead of the five year average. Soybean condi-tion rated 2 percent very poor, 3 percent poor, 16 percent fair, 61 percent good, and 18 percent ex-cellent.

The first cutting of al-

falfa hay was 73 percent complete, 45 percent-age points ahead of last year and 9 points above average. Hay condition was rated 0 percent very poor, 4 percent poor, 25 percent fair, 54 percent good, and 17 percent excellent. Pasture condi-tion rated 1 percent very poor, 5 percent poor, 27 percent fair, 49 percent good, and 18 percent ex-cellent.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Ger-many was supposed to be a team that would melt in Brazil’s tropics, and the United States was supposed to be a team that can’t beat Ghana.

Both teams fl ipped the scripts on Monday and fi nd themselves tied atop Group G.

In Salvador, Thomas Mueller scored a hat trick and Germany domi-nated Portugal — which played with 10 men after a red card in the 37th minute — 4-0, leaving German Presi-dent Angela Merkel with a big smile.

Clint Dempsey scored in the fi rst minute and rookie substitute John Brooks scored in the 86th as the U.S. defeated Ghana 2-1 in Natal, with Vice President Joe Biden watching and giving the team a postgame pep talk.

Ghana had eliminated the Ameri-cans from the last two World Cups.

The two games helped the World

Cup continue to deliver lots of goals — 44 in the fi rst 14 games.

Nigeria played Iran in the day’s other match, and neither team added to that tally. The teams played the fi rst draw of this World Cup, fi nishing

scoreless. Argentina defeated Bosnia 2-1 on Sunday in the other Group F match, and both will feel confi dent af-ter watching Nigeria and Iran fail to produce.

Two seeded teams — defending champion Spain and Uruguay — were upset earlier. That fate would not be-fall Germany on Monday.

It was Germans’ 100th World Cup match, and they had it wrapped up by halftime.

Mueller, who led the 2010 World Cup with fi ve goals, scored on either side of Mats Hummels’ headed goal as Germany took a 3-0 lead at the break. He added his third goal in the 81st.

“To score three goals in the World Cup opener against such an opponent is great,” Mueller said.

“After 20 minutes, we looked up at the clock and thought it was going to be a long day,” he added. “But we got into the match very well and when

you lead by 2-0 in this heat and then even get the third, it was all over.”

Cristiano Ronaldo started at Are-na Fonte Nova despite some nagging injuries. The winner of FIFA’s best player award, he faded after threaten-ing early in the match. He had a shot from a break that Germany goalkeep-er Manuel Neuer blocked, but there was nobody from Portugal to pounce on the rebound.

The United States scored at begin-ning and the end, but for most the match it was on the back foot as the Africans attacked, pushed the Ameri-cans deep into the box, but failed to fi nish in a physical match.

Dempsey’s goal was the quickest ever by an American and one of the fastest in World Cup history. He’s the

US and Germany win, Nigeria-Iran play fi rst draw

OSKALOOSA — After be-ing held hitless in the opening game of the Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader by Iowa Class 4A eighth-ranked Oskaloosa’s Indians, Newton’s Cardinals had the Indians in the same situation through three innings.

The Indians had scored a run in the fi rst inning of the second game on a walk, two fi elder’s choices and an er-ror. Lizzie Stock, who was the starting pitcher for Newton, and the Cardinals had not giv-en up a hit.

With one gone in the top of the fourth, Ashton Hoffman singled, which was followed by a two-run home run from Kay-tlin Ahn. The Cardinals were up 2-1 on the Indians.

Oskaloosa responded with a seven-hit bottom of the fourth. The Indians scored 13 runs on those seven hits, four walks and two Newton errors to notch a

14-1 win in four innings.Stock gave way to Hoffman

in the circle during the fourth inning. The Cardinal defense made three errors in the game.

The only other hit by the Cardinals in the second game was a single by Alex Hutchinson.

“We lacked desire and fi re tonight,” Newton head coach Ashley Ryan said. “We didn’t adjust to the umpires’ strike zone and the pitchers’ different pitches.”

Hoffman took the loss in the fi rst game, a 6-0 decision. She allowed six hits, but also walked fi ve, hit two batters and had one strikeout.

Cardinal girls fall to No. 8 Oskaloosa

By Jocelyn SheetsDaily News Sports Editor

OSKALOOSA — Teams rarely claim victories in games they have the most errors. Newton’s Cardinals learned that fact Monday playing on the road in the Little Hawkeye Conference.

The Cardinals survived a seven-error game in the opener of the dou-bleheader against Oskaloosa’s Indi-ans. Two errors in the bottom of the seventh made the game closer than it needed to be. Newton got out of the jam to record a 5-4 victory.

Newton wasn’t as fortunate in the second game. Leading 2-0, three of its fi ve errors came in the fourth inning as Oskaloosa scored four times. The Cardinals left the tying runs on base in the top of sev-enth, losing 4-2.

The split put the Cardinals at 5-4 in LHC play and 6-8 overall. Newton hosts Pella in conference action Wednesday at Woodland Park, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Evan Shimon and Jordan Travis each went 3-for-3 in the fi rst game for the Cardinals. They had two singles and a double apiece against

the Indians.Shimon drew a walk in the sec-

ond inning. Courtesy runner Con-nor Gholson scored later following a single by Travis, Derek Wrage reaching on an error and Jeff Stan-ton’s fi elder’s choice.

Newton broke the 1-1 tie with a three-run third inning. Tyler Wood singled and Michael Barr’s sacrifi ce moved Wood to second. Shimon and Travis had back-to-back RBI

Baseball great Tony Gwynn dies after cancer battle

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tony Gwynn could handle a bat like few other major leaguers, whether it was driving the ball through the “5.5 hole” between third base and shortstop or hitting a home run off the facade in Yankee Stadium in the World Series.

He was a crafts-man at the plate, whose sweet left-handed swing made him one of baseball’s greatest hitters.

Gwynn loved San Diego.San Diego loved “Mr. Padre” right

back.Gwynn, a Hall of Famer and one of

the greatest athletes in San Diego’s his-tory, died Monday of oral cancer, a dis-ease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco. He was 54.

In a rarity in pro sports, Gwynn played his whole career with the Padres, choosing to stay in the city where he was a two-sport star in college, rather than leaving for bigger paychecks elsewhere. His terrifi c hand-eye coordination made him one of the game’s greatest pure hit-ters. He had 3,141 hits — 18th on the all-time list — a career .338 average and won eight batting titles to tie Honus Wagner’s NL record.

He struck out only 434 times in 9,288 career at-bats. He played in San Diego’s

doubles. Mike McCormick reached on an Indian error followed by a run-scoring base hit by Wrage.

Two errors by Newton in the bot-tom of the third resulted in Oskaloo-sa plating a run to make it 4-2.

Gholson scored his second run of the game in the fi fth, running for Shimon, who singled with two gone. Travis was hit by a pitch and McCor-mick’s single drove in what would prove to be the game-winning run.

Chandler Sturtz worked fi ve in-nings as Newton’s starter. He was charged with two runs on three hits and two walks, plus he had three

strikeouts. Wood pitched the fi nal two innings, giving up two runs on three hits and two strikeouts.

Wood and the Cardinals got out of trouble in the sixth inning. Wood got Peyton Crouse to hit into an in-ning ending double play from Sturtz at shortstop to McCormick at second and Wrage at fi rst base.

The Indians put two batters on in the seventh on consecutive miscues by the Cardinal defense. Two runs scored and the tying run was on base with two outs when Wood struck out Travis Gile.

Sturtz, Barr, McCormick, Wrage and Stanton each had a single.

Newton took a 2-0 lead in the

nightcap in the second inning. Wrage walked with one out and Stanton reached on an error. With one out, Sturtz singled driving in two runs.

Oskaloosa cashed in on three er-rors and four singles in the fourth against Barr, Newton’s starting pitch-er. Barr was charged with four runs on six hits. Wrage pitched two score-less and hitless innings, walked one and struck out one.

Stanton reached on a leadoff walk in the top of the seventh and Duncan Lee singled. The Indians retired the next three Newton batters to end the threat and the game.

Barr had two singles in the game. Sturtz and Lee each had a single.

only two World Series — batting a combined .371 — and was a 15-time All-Star. He had a memorable home run in Game 1 of the 1998 World Series off fellow San Diegan David Wells, and scored the winning run in the 1994 All-Star Game despite a bum knee.

Gwynn never hit below .309 in a full season. He spread out his batting titles from 1984, when he batted .351, to 1997, when he hit .372.

Gwynn was hitting .394 when a players’ strike ended the 1994 season, denying him a shot at becoming the fi rst player to hit .400 since San Di-ego native Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.

Gwynn befriended Williams and the two loved to talk about hitting.

Gwynn steadied Williams when he threw out the ceremonial fi rst pitch before the 1999 All-Star Game at Boston’s Fenway Park.

Gwynn was known for his hearty laugh and warm personality. Every day at 4 p.m., Gwynn sat in the Pa-dres’ dugout and talked baseball or anything else with the media.

Gwynn had been on a medical leave since late March from his job as baseball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater. He died at a hospital in suburban Poway, agent John Boggs said.

Gwynn’s wife, Alicia, and other family members were at his side when he died, Boggs said.

Gwynn’s son, Tony Jr., was with the Philadelphia Phillies, who later placed him on the bereavement list.

Fans paid their respects by visiting

the statue of Gwynn on a grassy knoll just beyond the outfi eld at Petco Park.

Gwynn was last with his San Diego State team on March 25 before begin-ning a leave of absence. His Aztecs rallied around a Gwynn bobblehead doll they would set near the bat rack during games, winning the Mountain West Conference tournament and ad-vancing to the NCAA regionals.

Last week, SDSU announced it was extending Gwynn’s contract one sea-son. The Aztecs play at Tony Gwynn Stadium, which was built in the mid-1990s with a $4 million donation by then-Padres owner John Moores.

Gwynn was born in Los Angeles on May 9, 1960, and attended high school in Long Beach.

He was a two-sport star at San Di-ego State in the late 1970s and early 1980s, playing point guard for the

basketball team — he still holds the game, season and career record for assists — and in the outfi eld on the baseball team.

He was drafted by both the Padres (third round) and San Diego Clippers (10th round) on the same day in 1981.

In a career full of highlights, Gwynn had his 3,000th hit on Aug. 9, 1999, a fi rst-inning single to right fi eld at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

Gwynn retired after the 2001 sea-son and became a volunteer assistant coach at SDSU in 2002. He took over as head coach after that season.

He and Cal Ripken Jr. — who spent his entire career with the Bal-timore Orioles — were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.

Gwynn also is survived by a daugh-ter, Anisha.

Boggs said services were pending.

fi rst American to score in three differ-ent World Cups.

Brooks got the winner on a header

in the 86th, just four minutes after Andre Ayew equalized.

The 21-year-old defender was a sec-ond-half substitute and an unexpected addition to the American roster. He

was overcome and fell to the ground as teammates piled on. He made his national team debut in August.

U.S. players ran onto the fi eld to celebrate at the fi nal whistle, jumping

as supporters chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!”

“We have a great spirit,” Klinsmann said. “The U.S. team always has a great spirit and fi ghts until the last second.”

Morrill and Hulin pick up fi rst wins of the season at Marshalltown

MARSHALLTOWN — Two drivers earned their fi rst wins of the season on Friday the 13th and under a full moon at Marshalltown Speedway. Four other drivers made return trips to victory lane on Karl Performance Night last Friday.

Mike Morrill claimed his fi rst win at Marshalltown this season, winning the mod lites feature race. Morrill went to the lead on a restart early in the race and never gave it up through several other cautions. Andy Henni-ger had a tough time on Friday the 13th when his driveshaft broke during the pace lap of the event.

Morrill hadn’t won at Marshall-town since Sept. 21, 2012, Jimmy May, Charlie Brown, Tim Hennigar and Terry Brown rounded out the top fi ve.

In the fi nal feature of the night, Racer Hulin took the lead away from Eric Elliott on Lap 4 of the IMCA modifi eds’ 20-lap event. Hulin stay out in front with a large lead to take his fi rst win at Marshalltown. Adam Larson found his way to the runner up spot. Luke Wanninger was third, Rookie Brandon Leeman was fourth, and Elliott was fi fth.

The fi rst feature race of the night was the IMCA sport compacts’ eight-lap event. John Gill started on the outside front row and he took full

advantage as he led all eight laps to take his third win of the season. David Moorman came across in second, Josh Modde was third, Aaron Miller was fourth and Mike Tedesco was fi fth.

Racing veteran Steve Fricke started on the front row along with Mitch-ell Thomas in the 12-lap IMCA hobby stocks feature. Austin Luellen worked to the lead and then through the lap-traffi c late in the race to take his fourth of the season at Motown. John Watson ran second after start-ing in the 11th spot. Benji Irvine was credited with a third-place fi nish. Tyson Overton was fourth and Brice Udelhoven fi nished in fi fth after be-ing docked two spots.

Clint Luellen found the top side of the track the way he wanted and went to the lead of the IMCA Northern SportMods feature on Lap 10. Fol-lowing a late caution in the 18-lap race, Luellen and Taylor Musselman batted it out the fi nal eight laps. Luel-len captured his fourth win at Mar-shalltown.

Musselman fi nished a close second. Jared Van Deest worked his way from 10th to third. Sam Wieben placed fourth and Neil Follett ended up in the fi fth-place spot.

Lap traffi c could not deny Michael Jaennette a second win in Marshall-town’s IMCA stock car feature race. Jaennette worked his way from fi fth to second and took the lead Lap 2.

Jaennette had a full straight-away lead before lap traffi c slowed him down, but nobody could catch him. Brian Irvine beat Donavon Smith to the fi n-ish line for second. Trent Murphy and Steve Meyer fi nish fourth and fi fth respectively.

This Friday is Wolf Seeds and Jim’s Johns Challenge Night at the Races. Hot Laps at 6:45 p.m. and Racing at 7:30 p.m.

Astrograph

Some say they can’t live without beauty, that they need it to live as much as they need food. What do you think? Is beauty the fuel that keeps you producing and creat-ing? If so, you will find sympathizers, allies and new sources of loveli-ness once the moon slips into artistic Pisces this afternoon. Make beauty your quest this evening.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 17). Go on and tackle the goal you weren’t quite able to reach last year. You’re smarter this time around, and your hard work will culminate in an August win. July sees you buy-ing or selling something big. Sweet connec-tions become dearer in September. Friends will envy your position in October. Taurus and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 11, 28, 37 and 1.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll either be fill-ing a position or assess-ing the choice you made to fill it. Bad habits can be corrected or compen-sated for, so don’t be too

quick to judge today’s imperfect contenders.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe you don’t have to fight for freedom in the same way that your ancestors did, but you’re still fighting for it in some way — a way that will be important to your ancestors.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today feels like a game of limbo in which you’re being asked to bend backward as far as you can without hitting the limit or falling down. You’re flexible, indeed, but should they really be asking this much of you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What you do to work out your mind will be just as crucial to your well-being as what you do to work out your body. Because you plan so well, there will be time to get it all in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People say that internalizing emotions isn’t good for you, but you have your own sense of timing and will open up only when you are

good and ready. Much depends on your deci-sions about whom you can trust.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will attract that which you focus on. It’s like you know what you were meant for and are perfectly aligned with having it. Therefore, the day’s challenge feels like a no-brainer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll work well with people who are very different from you. You can be quite productive together without sharing the same sensibilities. You’ll mesh in interesting ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Forethought leads to good busi-ness. Avoid forgetting the name of someone you should know well. Before leaving for an event, think about whom you might run into and what you might small talk about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t expect the energy to center on you, and yet it

will — maybe because you have so much to give these days and the others are eager to check that out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is no point in trying to make your life predictable. It can only be as predictable as the rest of the world, whose predictability level var-ies between delightfully spontaneous and mildly chaotic.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It truly is better to receive criticism than praise. It doesn’t feel better. In fact, it sometimes stings. But it makes you better, and therefore, it’s a far greater gift. Count on it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are so full of in-formation and ideas that it will be hard to hold anything back. Good news, though: If you give away everything you know, it comes back to you threefold.
