DES MOINES — A trio of top-10 finishes highlighted Newton’s day at the Jim Duncan Invitational inside Drake Stadium on April 11. The Cardinals faced another challenging field but held their own, posted three season-best times in relays and Alexis Sorensen and Muckler were near the top 20 in a pair of distance events.

All but one of the 10 highest-earning city employees in Newton last year were members of the police department.

A retired Newton Public Schools staff member was arrested on Friday and charged with attempted enticement of a minor, according to the U.S. Attorney Office in the Northern District of New York.

The Newton Police Department is investigating four incidents involving "We Stand With Israel" signs in the area of Homer Street, Kenwood Road, Manement Road, and Fenno Road. The incidents occurred during the daylight hours of April 16–17,
