Women learn the complexities of grain marketing through ISU Extension course

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Jasper County Annex building, located one block east of the courthouse, has a list of repair projects from a flooding basement to a dock and stairs that have not been well maintained. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors is starting the process to address the building and beginning to make decisions on what it wants to do with it in the future.

Mounting issues at Jasper County Annex building under review

Iowa Sate University Extension and Outreach’s Women Marketing Grain course hosted its third of four sessions at Newton’s DMACC campus on Monday night.

The course teaches women how to develop a marketing plan, which is increasingly important in the current agriculture climate of tight crop margins, said instructor Steve Johnson. Johnson is a farm and agriculture business management specialist at ISU with more than 20 years of experience teaching crop marketing.

“We’re focused on strategies, tools and a marketing plan,” Johnson said. “That’s where we’re cutting edge.”

Seventeen women are enrolled this semester.

They have diverse backgrounds and levels of experience in marketing crops. Most of them call central Iowa home and reside in towns like Colfax, Sully, Pella, Prairie City and Grinnell.

Mary Brown makes the trek from La Porte City to attend class. She said she has been to other marketing meetings where she looks around and she is one of just a couple women there.

$650K repair estimate prompts exploration of other buildings

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Annex Building has housed many county entities, including the county jail, during its vast history. The building at 101 First St. N. has been showing its age with many repair projects building up, prompting the Jasper County Board of Supervisors to take a closer look.

“The window wells, the dock, the old stairs on the side of the building, it has just not been well taken care of through the years, it has just been maintained and now it is time to spend some money on it to get it back into shape,” maintenance director Adam Sparks said. “It is going to take quite a bit.”

The board requested the services of architecture engineering consulting firm Shive-Hattery of West Des Moines to look through

the building and submit an estimated cost for the repair work.

Following the review, Shive-Hattery estimated a low cost of $650,000 to begin work addressing the building’s ailments.

“Constant moving of offices and the way people need things set up, it was probably set up right to begin with and then when you start to cut into things and tie into things and run them to other areas, at this point (the HVAC and electrical) is a cobbled mess,” Sparks said. “The heating and cooling is to the point where, if we stay there a few more years, we are to the point they need to be replaced.”

Additionally, a water issue in the basement needs to be addressed, Sparks said, possibly through replacing or removing existing window wells. The entire foundation needs to be water proofed, and the county has the

decision of leaving windows in the basement or removing them completely and backfilling with dirt to solve the issue. Both options have drastically different costs associated with them and have an impact on organizations located in the basement.

“The handicapped ramp is totally outdated, the dock is falling apart, it would come off with the building that sets on the dock coming off,” Sparks said. “The awning that covers the dock would come off. You would have to put at least part of the new dock back on so the handicapped entrance has a landing into the building.”

With the mounting issues and the costs associated with fixing them, the board also discussed exploring a new building as an option for county offices.

Blighted properties still a focus for city

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Three properties were acquired by the city to deal with nuisance issues on Monday.

Newton City Council approved the purchase of properties at 321 E. Eighth St. S., 319 E. Eighth St. S. and 501 S. Second Ave. W. as part of the D&D program, addressing blighted and dilapidated structures throughout the city.

The property at 501 S. Second Ave. W. has become a recurring nuisance for the city and taxes continue to remain unpaid. The property had previously been demolished and the nuisance assessment continued to grow.

By purchasing the

property for $100 from Ackley Holdings, LLC, the city is able to take ownership and clear the city assessments. The low price was suggested to assist the former owner with legal cost of deeding the property to the city.

A longtime nuisance property, 319 E. Eighth St. S. was approved for purchased for $3,500 from S&L Investment-1, LLC. In 2014, the city determined the structure to be inhabitable and has been boarded up for more than two years.

The final property at 321 E. Eighth St. S. is adjacent to 319 E. Eighth St. S. and has also been a nuisance property. It has been uninhabited since 2014 and necessary repairs to building have

not been completed by owner Ken Johnson of Altoona.

The city acquired this property through the 657A. 10A process allowing cities to petition the court for ownership of abandoned buildings.

By doing this, the city does not give any compensation to the property owner.

The properties are being paid for through reallocated funds to the D&D program.

“Extra monies within the Housing Initiative Bond that will not be utilized can be shifted for the purpose of acquiring this property and the two others under consideration at this,” interim city administrator COUNCIL | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The structures at 321 and 219 E. Eighth St. S. are the newest sites to be a part of the D&D program to help deal with nuisance properties through demolition. The properties were approved for purchase by city council on Monday.

In Brief Iowa, Nebraska echo national decline in number of farms

Submitted Photo Last year’s “From the Farm to You” calendar cover artwork was produced by Danielle Heartsill (grade 11) of Chariton. Copies of the calendar, which illustrates how agriculture impacts daily life, will be distributed at the Iowa State Fair.

Department of Agriculture will distribute ‘From the Farm to You’ calendars at Iowa State Fair

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encouraged students across the state this month to submit artwork to be considered for inclusion in the “From the Farm to You” calendar. The calendars are distributed by the Department of Agriculture at the Iowa State Fair and include “artwork that emphasizes the connection between the production of Iowa’s farmers and the products used by people every day.”

Students of all ages are invited to submit artwork, said Department of Agriculture Communications Director Dustin Vande Hoef. Northey will recognize the students who are

featured in the calendar at the state fair.

“These calendars are extremely popular at our booths at the state fair and do a great job of showcasing Iowa agriculture,” Northey said.

“I’m always impressed by the creativity and ability of these student artists as they help educate fairgoers about where their food comes from.”

Last year’s calendar featured artwork from students in Chariton, Maquoketa, Adel, Kanawha, Red Oak, Merrill, Monticello, Scotch Grove and Ames. Students from kindergarden through high school were part of the collection.

The calendar also included an extensive list of products that use Iowa commodities, such as adhesives,

DES MOINES (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture says there were 500 fewer farms in Iowa last year and the average farm size rose slightly but the amount of total land in farms remained at 30.5 million acres.

The annual report on farms released Friday says Iowa has 87,000 farms. The average farm size rose slightly to 351 acres from 349 in 2015.

The report shows similar trends in Nebraska where there were 300 fewer farms in 2016 with a total of 48,400 and the average farm size rose to 934 acres from 928. Land in farms remained at 45.2 million acres.

Nationally the number of farms fell by 8,000 to 2.06 million.

Half of all farms reported annual sales between $1,000 and $10,000 and 30 percent sold between $10,000 and $100,000.

candles, hair conditioner, insulation, tooth paste, peanut butter and wine. In addition, each month in the “From the Farm to You” calendar features facts about Iowa’s agriculture and its impact on both the state and the country.

Pictures should be drawn using only black lines on plain white paper, 8.5 by 11 inches. Artwork should not be colored. Students can send their work to the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Calendar Kids, 502 E. Ninth St., Des Moines, IA 50319.

Drawings must be received by May 1 to be considered.

SIOUX CITY (AP) — Developers of a pork processing plant under construction in Sioux City have announced plans for a second shift expected to increase its number of jobs to around 2,000 — nearly double the original estimate.

The Sioux City Journal reports that the expansion will raise the cost of the Seaboard Triumph Foods project by $31.4 million, to just over $300 million.

To help finance the larger investment, the company is asking the state for an additional $3.3 million in tax incentives.

The 600,000 square-foot plant will have the capacity to slaughter 10,000 to 12,000 hogs per day. It’s expected to open July 31 with a single shift of around 1,100 employees.

New mosquito trap smart enough to keep just the bad bugs WASHINGTON (AP) — A smart trap for mosquitoes?

A new high-tech version is promising to catch the bloodsuckers while letting friendlier insects escape — and even record the exact weather conditions when different species emerge to bite.

Whether it really could improve public health is still to be determined. But when the robotic traps were pilot-tested around Houston last summer, they accurately captured particular mosquito species — those capable of spreading the Zika virus and certain other diseases — that health officials wanted to track, researchers reported Thursday.

The traps act like “a field biologist in real time that’s making choices about the insects it wants to capture,” said Microsoft lead researcher Ethan Jackson, who displayed a prototype trap at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston.

The traps are part of Microsoft’s broader Project Pre-

monition, aimed at learning how to spot early signs of outbreaks.

“It catches people’s imagination,” said University of Florida medical entomology professor Jonathan Day, who isn’t involved with the project. “But whether it is actually a trap that will functionally improve surveillance, I think that remains to be seen.”

Trapping is a key part of mosquito surveillance and control, important so health officials know where to spray or take other measures to fight mosquito-borne diseases. Trapping hasn’t changed much in decades: Typically net traps are outfitted with mosquito-attracting bait and a fan, and suck in whatever insect gets close enough. Entomologists later sort the bugs for the ones they want.

Jackson’s trap consists of 64 “smart cells,” compartments outfitted with an infrared light beam. When an insect crosses the beam, its shadow changes the light intensity in a way that forms almost a fingerprint for

that species, Jackson said.

Program the trap for the desired species — such as the Aedes aegypti mosquito that is the main Zika threat — and when one flies into a cell, its door snaps closed. In pilot testing in Harris County, Texas, last July and August, the trap was more than 90 percent accurate in identifying the insect buzzing through the door, Jackson said.

Harris County already is

well known in public health for strong mosquito surveillance, and had been keeping a sharp eye out for Zika — fortunately finding none. But mosquito control director Mustapha Debboun called the high-tech trap promising, and is looking forward to larger scale testing this summer.

“If we are trying to collect the Zika virus mosquito, you can teach this trap to collect just that mosquito,” he said.

When each mosquito is captured, sensors record the time, temperature, humidity and other factors, to show what environmental conditions have different species buzzing. That’s information officials might use to schedule pesticide spraying.

The next step: Rapid genetic scans of the mosquitoes’ blood check for harmful pathogens — and can tell what animal the mosquito had been biting, Jackson said.

If that work pans out, he said the data may help predict emerging diseases.

But bringing Microsoft’s tech know-how to mosquito control ultimately will depend on cost, cautioned Debboun, who spends about $350 for one of today’s traps and says the new high-tech ones can’t cost more.

While Jackson doesn’t know a final price, he said he used low-cost microprocessors and other equipment to design the traps and plans to test if drones can place them in remote areas.

Grain Continued from Page 1A “It’s just nice to see more women at these meetings,� Brown said. “I think women share more and talk more about it than men.�

The women are gaining a better understanding of the terminology used in grain marketing, and the guest speakers that Johnson has brought in have contributed to the growth in knowledge. Last week, Cargill Merchandising Manager Ray Jenkins helped provide real-world insight. Iowa Farm Bureau Federation Commodity Services Manager Ed Kordick took over Monday’s class.

A lot goes into marketing grain.

The guest speakers help the students understand the complexities of cost of ownership, bottom lines, new and old crops and working within a global economy. “I’ve always thought marketing was such an important component of managing risk,� Johnson said. “It’s not just about producing something; it’s about the ability to market it and to profit.�

Johnson said many of the women in the course are very tuned into the cashflow needs of their farming operations. He said women are less emotional about marketing grain

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The dock, located on the rear of the annex building, has not been well maintained, maintenance director Adam Sparks said. It, along with many other projects, are facing the Jasper County Board of Supervisors as they decide which direction to take the building.

Annex Continued from Page 1A “We can spend the money on that building, but we still don’t solve any problems. We’ve outgrown it, we don’t have enough room and the parking around the building, they have a difficult time where to park,� supervisor Denny Carpenter said. “I think

we need to take a look at another building where we have plenty of space and space for the future to take care of the need.�

Supervisor Joe Brock agreed the basement has issues but said the first and second floors are still very functional for those who use them.

than men who are driven by egos to sell at the highest price. “Women are much more analytical in their thought process, and they don’t have to justify the high price as the reason to sell,� he said. “Women tend to be better marketers of crops because of their ability to know the cost and analyze and recognize the profit.�

Johnson shared Brown’s belief that women are more open to sharing information, especially in comparison to men who are competing for acreage. “This is a chance for them to create a relationship with each other,�

Johnson said. “Maybe they can share with each other their marketing plans and strategies.�

ISU Extension and Outreach offers other courses that cater to women such as Women Marketing Cattle and Women Managing Crops. The courses started in 2003-2004, when there was an underserved audience of women, Johnson said.

Women Marketing Grain is offered twice a year and will serve central Iowans again this summer in West Des Moines. The course is held in a computer lab, so the students can utilize a variety of websites and online resources.

Heart disease is leading cause of death for men and women SPONSORED BY

You don’t need cupid’s help to improve your heart health, although that’s always a nice benefit. That being said, there’s a lot you can do on your own and February is as great of a time as any to do it since it’s American Heart Month.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Throughout February, you likely will come across campaigns calling for heart health awareness that can help people reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke.

Exercise certainly is helpful, and for the elderly, as well as those who rarely exercise, it can simply be the addition of a daily walking routine a few times per week.

Eating healthier is extremely beneficial.

Unfortunately for some, it’s difficult because they lack the skills in cooking healthier things that they also would enjoy eating. For others,

they’re blessed to have someone do the cooking for them and ensuring proper nutrition and better heart health. That’s one of the many reasons why residing in a retirement community like Park Centre can extend your life.

The American Heart Association states, “a healthy diet and lifestyle are your best weapons to fight cardiovascular disease.�

Keeping an ongoing dialogue, or starting one, with your doctor is imperative. Let them know what you’re doing with regard to diet and exercise regardless if you feel perfectly healthy. Your doctor might also have ideas that can help you improve your heart health and their advice should be trusted.

Likewise, if you’ve been prescribed medication that’s related to your heart health, please make sure to take it. Such medication won’t work if you’re not taking it as prescribed and this is also something to monitor and communicate with your primary physician.

Hand me the spoon Editor’s note: This column originally published Feb. 23, 2016 am by all accounts not the best cook. I am not a terrible cook, but I am not very adventurous and have stuck with the same 10 or so meals for the past eight years.

I only expanded my recipes to 10 after I got married and my husband wanted a little more variety than frozen pizza and pizza rolls. They are not very exciting, consisting of lasagna, grilled cheese and tomato soup, quesadillas and meatballs and a few others. I have tried different sides including cheesy fries, “healthy fries” which are seasoned potatoes thrown in the oven and steamed green beans.

I thought maybe after having kids

I

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson I would start to grow my cooking abilities, but that has not been the case. We stick pretty closely to chicken nuggets, spaghettios, macaroni and cheese and noodles most nights — with pancakes thrown in here or there. The girls do like their fruits so I keep a good stock of apples, oranges, peaches and bananas.

It wasn’t until my husband stated he would like to start eating healthier I thought I now have an opportunity to change things up and really get daring in the kitchen. I’m not sure he meant his request to be taken quite so literally, but I had ideas and was ready to start shopping for healthier options.

We don’t have set parameters, but my husband does have a gluten intolerance I am hoping to work with.

I know when he eats gluten-free he tends to feel better, with more energy, so that is what I am beginning with.

To begin our new healthy eating ways, I started searching the web for recipes. Like I said before, I am not a great or experienced cook, so the simpler the better for me. I knew I would have to get out of my comfort zone and work with foods I hadn’t before, but I wasn’t going to go wild and try something I couldn’t accomplish.

As I was looking, most meals centered around meat, specifically salmon, chicken and pork chops. I also looked for tasty sides, and I was not surprised when brussels sprouts kept popping up, as they are the “vegetable of the month.”

With recipes in hand, I made a grocery list and headed to the store to begin shopping. I was pleasantly sur-

prised that prices weren’t outlandish, and I could feed us without paying an arm and a leg.

I stocked up on all of my meats and veggies and added quite a few new spices to my spice rack.

With everything in place I was ready to cook. My first dish attempt consisted of glazed salmon with seasoned brussels sprouts. I prepped my space, followed the directions and after about 30 minutes of prep and cook time, I had a meal.

Looking at it, I thought it would be OK. I have to admit I was worried and nervous when my husband took his first bites, but after gaining his approval, I dug in and actually really liked it.

I have many more recipes to try and I know they probably won’t all turn out as well as I hope, but I think I am on the right track to eating healthier.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

First date with Russia America, having spent Valentine’s Day 2016 alone, was searching for a soulmate.

America’s been talking to Russia online, exchanging emails, keeping things on the down low, and it’s been looking pretty good. Russia is manly. Russia is strong.

Russia has plans for global expansion. We heard Russia beat up the Crimea, and it made us America hot.

So, America got one of those spray tans, and dyed its hair orange. America put on some Ivanka Trump sleaze heels and a blouse that shows off quite a bit of the Rocky Mountains, and went on a first date with big, strong Russia.

Russia was SO hip. Bought America vodka and caviar. The vodka wasn’t cold enough, so Russia had the waiter tortured to death by one of his henchmen.

“OMG!” America squealed. “He has HENCHMEN! Totes adorbs!”

They both told their stories, like you do on first dates.

Russia? The Czar. Stalin. The Gulags. Sooo much snow!

America? Valley Forge. Freedom. Fundamentalist Christianity. The Klan. Evil stepmom Hillary.

“We have a high incarceration rate,” America sighed.

“So do we, dahlink,” Russia said. “It would be much higher than yours, but we kill a lot of people before they get to jail.”

“You’re sooo decisive,” America said.

“We got creamed in Afghanistan,” Russia said.

“So did we!” America said.

We got Muslim terrorists. They got Muslim terrorists. They got people marching through the streets demanding democracy. We got people marching through the streets demanding democracy. They got despised ethnic minorities. We got despised ethnic minorities.

We like vodka. They like vodka. Our poor people are obese. Their poor people are obese. We got meth heads with no teeth. They got drugs that make your skin fall off.

“We’re handing our government over to cash-bloated oligarchs,” Russia purred.

“Oh, God, show U.S. how to do that,” America giggled.

It was getting hot. America could hear the screams of the dying waiter in the basement.

“We tried Britain and France,” America sighed.

“They’re such pansies. Not like you. We hate them now.”

“What about NATO?” Russia said. “You’re still involved with them, aren’t you, my little bowl of borscht?”

“I was sooo drunk when I got in bed with NATO,” America said. “I don’t even know why I did it. I promise I’ll never see them again.”

After dinner, it was a blur of clubs, totalitarianism and gypsy music. They danced until dawn.

“In my country, all the buildings are made of concrete,” Russia said. “They are gray. They are 50 shades of gray.”

“Will you call me?” America said, bosom heaving, mascara smeared with tears of submission.

“First, the election,” Russia said.

Finally, after so many years leading the world alone, America has a boyfriend, and he’s big and strong and foreign. All the other democratic republics say America is a slut, but they’re just jealous. They don’t know what love is, not really.

I saw America the other day. She was walking along a beach on the east coast, swaddled in Russian sable, smiling, hair blown by a strong wind from Moscow, a wind that smelled of surrender.

And she pointed towards the sea, pointed at a big gray ship just off the coast.

“That’s what my boyfriend drives,” she said. “Isn’t it cool?”

It’s a wonderful love story, isn’t it? I just wish my country wasn’t the girl.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Flag on the play: In defense of the judiciary No matter your political beliefs, there can be no doubt that we are living in incredibly polarized times. Friends and family, whether Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or Green Party members, have all commented on the erosion of basic civility in public discourse. I certainly share their concerns. But as an attorney, I also know that we are the world’s longest-running republic because our founding fathers took great pains to craft a durable system.

Frequently, this system is described in nebulous terms, such as “checks and balances.” I find it more useful to think of it as dynamic tension. Our three branches of government—executive, legislative and judicial—were created as coequal institutions.

The executive branch has some unilateral authority and an army at its command, but must defer to legislators on larger policy questions, and to fund that army.

The legislative branch has much more policy-making authority than the executive branch. It can also hedge presidential initiatives through the power of the purse.

But it cannot use the armed forces to implement its will. Meanwhile, the judicial branch controls neither our coffers nor our military. It has the authority to strike down any moves by the other two branches to unconstitutionally limit our freedoms.

Another View Skip Keynon III That’s Civics 101. What many people don’t realize, however, is that our government operates entirely on an honor system.

Traditionally, our congressmen and senators have understood that for our government to function as intended, they should not engineer a military coup if they don’t like the president, or attempt to financially starve the Supreme Court out of existence if they don’t like a ruling. Our Supreme Court justices have understood that they should not comment on policy until they are presented with a constitutional question. And our president has understood that despite any differences he might have with Congress or the Supreme Court, he should acknowledge the legitimacy of these institutions.

Unfortunately, we are beginning to see this baseline understanding erode along with our political civility. Disagreement is not just healthy—it’s essential to the functioning of a fair and just system. In fact, the founding fathers designed this republic to be fueled by argument. But no matter our political beliefs, it is

incumbent upon us as attorneys to vociferously defend the role of the courts at all levels of government. We have witnessed disputes, argued merits, defended clients--we understand that fair, impartial courts keep the structure of our government strong.

Take sports—we are fiercely loyal to our team, to our favorite players in the game. But no sports fan really likes referees.

When there are tough calls to be made, one side is always unhappy. Although refs strive for fairness, they sometimes make questionable, or outright bad, calls. But without a referee, it’s not a game—it’s a melee. That’s the role judges and justices play in our democratic system. You might agree or disagree with individual calls. Just as a sports fan might think a ref is “blind,” we might question an individual justice’s understanding of the Constitution. But at the same time, these jurists are essential to upholding “fair play” in our system.

Regardless of your training or career path, a period of great social change creates an emotionally charged uncertainty about the future. And it is in times like these that trust in a fully legitimate, fair-minded judicial system is needed the most.

Wife whose husband fights dirty may need a clean break DEAR ABBY: Because I had a promiscuous past prior to getting married, it was understandable that my husband and I have gone through some rough patches. It’s been three years since our wedding, and he still can’t let it go sometimes.

A recent argument just escalated into his calling me a whore and stupid. We have a beautiful little girl together, so it’s not like I can just up and go whenever I want.

When is enough, enough? Where is the point that I can give in to the thought that I can’t do it anymore?

Or is this just what marriage is? We have already done counseling, and it just made it worse. I feel really alone, so can you please give me some feedback? — ROUGH PATCH DEAR ROUGH PATCH: If your husband knew about your promiscuous past when he married you, he has no right to throw it at you when he’s angry. That’s fighting dirty, and it never resolves the issue at hand. You are neither a whore nor stupid, and this is NOT what marriage is supposed to be. Good husbands build their partner’s self-esteem; they don’t undercut it the way yours is doing, because it is abusive.

Since the counseling you had didn’t work, you must now decide whether you need to try again with a different therapist or talk to a lawyer. If I were living like this, I know what I would do, but the only person who can decide what’s best for you and your daughter is you.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been friends with a bachelor for 30 years. Over the past year we have had a problem with him that is seriously straining our friendship.

When he uses the bathroom in our home, he leaves a terrible mess.

There’s urine all over the toilet and a large puddle on the bathroom

floor. The last time he was here, it was obvious he had stepped in it and tracked it around as he left the room! I’m extremely upset and angry.

In addition, it’s obvious he doesn’t wash his hands, as the sink and soap are bone-dry. I don’t want him to come over anymore. My husband wants me to be more forgiving. We’re both too embarrassed to say anything to him. Should we stop being his friend, or have a frank talk? He is oblivious and continues to contact us and wants to visit. We either put him off or try to arrange to meet him elsewhere. It is becoming unbearable. — DISGUSTED IN LOUISIANA DEAR DISGUSTED: It would be a shame to throw away a 30-year friendship without trying to save it.

Could there be a physical problem that has caused this change in your longtime friend — a bladder problem, or one with his eyesight?

You are all adults, and longtime friends should be able to speak frankly with each other. Because your husband is closer to him than you are, he’s the one who needs to talk to him “man to man” and point out the fact that there is a problem and then ask what might be wrong.

Five people wounded in shooting involving officers AMES — Authorities say five people have been wounded in a shooting that involved two Ames police officers. Officers had been sent to the scene around 1:30 a.m. Sunday on reports that two groups were fighting as bars closed in the area.

Police say that as officers separated the groups, shots were fired from a stopped car into the crowd. Police say two officers fired into the car, which sped away.

CLARION — An April sentencing has been scheduled for a northern Iowa woman whose 2-year-old daughter was found wandering a Galt street barefooted and in pajamas.

Court records say 24-year-old Ysabel Ceplecha pleaded guilty Monday in Wright County District Court to neglect or abandonment of a dependent person.

Her sentencing is set for April 3. Authorities say Ceplecha’s little girl was found outside in the rain on Nov. 22.

Justin P. Doran, 35, of Newton is facing charges after he reportedly aggressively walked past the front desk clerk at noon on Feb. 9 at the Juvenile Court Services office inside the Jasper County Courthouse without permission.

Doran also barged his way into a staff member’s office who was not in the office at the time. When a staff member tried to deescalate the situation, and asked Doran his name and how she could help, Doran replied, “I don’t have to tell you my [expletive] name, I’m going to kill everyone in this office,� a police report states.

Doran reportedly left the office and located the staff member he was looking for outside and threatened them by saying, “I’m going to [expletive] get you,� the report states.

Doran was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

House panel OKs Iowa bill against foreign law DES MOINES (AP) — A panel of House lawmakers has approved a bill that would prevent Iowa judicial courts from applying foreign law to state cases.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa says the bill mirrors anti-Sharia legislation passed in other states, though Sharia law is not directly referenced in the bill.

The GOP-led House Judiciary Subcommittee agreed Monday to support the bill. It now heads to a full committee. Rep. Ralph Watts, an Adel Republican and the bill’s lead sponsor, says the legislation is aimed at ensuring new cultures in America assimilate under the U.S. Constitution.

Watts says he’s unaware of any cases where Iowa courts have considered foreign law. The Iowa Catholic Conference is also registered against the bill. The group says the measure could void agreements referencing Catholic law.

Union files lawsuit against collective bargaining law DES MOINES (AP) — A new Iowa law that eliminates most collective bargaining rights for public workers is unconstitutional and should be immediately blocked, according to a lawsuit filed Monday by a key union in the state.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Iowa Council 61 argues that the law violates language in the Iowa Constitution that ensures equality to citizens. The group — Iowa’s largest state employees union, representing 40,000 public employees — also asked for an injunction to halt the law’s enforcement.

Republican Gov. Terry Branstad on Friday signed the law, which prohibits public sector unions from negotiating issues such as health insurance and supplemental pay. The law is similar to a 2011 collective bargaining law passed in Wisconsin that sparked large protests and legal challenges.

“The governor signing this bill is not the end. This is only the beginning,” said Danny Homan, president of AFSCME Iowa Council 61 in a conference call about the lawsuit Monday. “We intend to use every legal opportunity we have to challenge the constitutionality of this law.”

Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes declined to comment on the merits of the lawsuit but said he wasn’t surprised Homan “has desperately decided to run to the courts with expensive litigation.”

The lawsuit was filed as Branstad prepares to resign to become U.S. ambassador to China under President Donald Trump. Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, the incoming governor, also supports the law.

The lawsuit focuses on aspects of the law that exempt certain public safety employees from some prohibited negotiations. Those exempted workers include some law enforcement

officers, firefighters, park rangers and peace officers designated by the Iowa Department of Transportation.

The lawsuit argues that the law establishes two classes of public-employee bargaining units. The suit says that designation violates language in the state constitution that requires “uniform operation” on laws of general nature and states the Legislature shall not grant privileges or immunities not equally available to all citizens.

Several workers are named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, including a correctional officer and a university police officer.

Both are not included in the

exemption because of how the law is written. The state of Iowa, among other entities, is named among the defendants.

Branstad has said the law would give local governments and school districts more flexibility with their budgets and give employers opportunities to reward good employees. On Monday, Hammes reiterated those points and said organized labor has “hid behind an outdated law that routinely won out against the best interests of Iowa taxpayers.” The collective bargaining law was passed in 1974 by a Republican governor.

Deadline looms for Dakota Access pipeline protest camp CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — As dawn breaks over an encampment that was once home to thousands of people protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline, a few hundred holdouts rise for another day of resistance.

They aren’t deterred by the threat of flooding, nor by declarations from state and federal authorities that they must leave

by Wednesday or face possible arrest. They’re determined to remain and fight a pipeline they maintain threatens the very sanctity of the land.

“If we don’t stand now, when will we?” said Tiffanie Pieper, of San Diego, who has been in the camp most of the winter.

Protesters have been at the campsite since August to fight the $3.8 billion pipeline that will carry oil from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois. Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners began work on the last big section of the pipeline this month after the Army gave it permission to lay pipe under a reservoir on

The camp is on federal land, and authorities have told occupants to leave by Wednesday in advance of spring flooding.

the Missouri River. The protest camp is on Army Corp of Engineers land nearby.

The protests have been led

by Native American tribes, particularly the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux, whose reservation is downstream. They say the pipeline threatens drinking

water and cultural sites. ETP disputes that.

Faced with the prospect of spring flooding, some protesters are considering moving to higher ground, though not necessarily off the federal land.

Some may move to the Standing Rock Reservation, where the Cheyenne River Sioux is

leasing land to provide camping space even though Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault has urged protesters to leave.

“We have the same goals,” Cheyenne River Chairman Harold Frazier said of himself and Archambault. “We don’t agree on whether or not the

water protectors should be on the ground.”

On Monday, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum talked with Archambault on the telephone about efforts to clean up and vacate the protest camp, Burgum’s office said.

Burgum and Archambault both stressed the importance of keeping lines of communication open, including a onepage flyer that the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs will distribute in the camp, reminding protesters that the main camp will be evacuated at 2 p.m.

Wednesday and re-entry will not be allowed, Burgum’s office said.

Archambault said Monday he continues to ask that there be no forced removal of remaining campers. He said the state has notified the tribe that law enforcement will enter the camp Wednesday and “will peacefully ask those to vacate.”

“We ask that everyone keep public safety their top priority at this time,” Archambault said.

Cardinals dunk J-Hawks to advance in 4A playoffs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Putting the finishing touches on a 51-44 victory at home to open the Class 4A playoffs is Newton senior Morgan Maher with a breakaway dunk at the end of the game against visiting Urbandale on Monday. The Cardinals advance to the 4A Substate 7 semifinal at Dowling Catholic at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Morgan Maher boosted Newton High’s Cardinals early — scoring nine points in the first quarter — in Monday’s Class 4A Substate 7 quarterfinal game. The senior put the exclamation point on a 51-44 win over visiting Urbandale with a breakaway dunk at the end of the game.

In between those two Maher moments was a lot of physical and intense playoff basketball played by the Cardinals and J-Hawks.

Both teams had leads. Newton built a nine-point halftime advantage to see Urbandale get within one late in the third quarter.

The J-Hawks claimed a onepoint lead, 39-38, on a basket

by Trevor Miller and a steal and layup by Henry Drake in the first 30 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Senior Trey Vanderlaan’s basket with 7:02 left in the game put the Cardinals back up for good.

“This wasn’t anything we didn’t prepare for in terms of the physicalness of the game. That’s playoff basketball and if you can’t play that way you’re going to lose.

Our kids decided we’d rather win,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said.

Newton has won 10 of its last 11 games. The Cardinals are 17-5, which is the most wins by a NHS team since the 1964 state championship team, which went 23-3.

The victory advances the Cardinals to the Substate 7 semifinals. They play at No. 10 Dowling Catholic at 7 p.m. Friday. In the other quarterfinal Monday, Johnston beat Des Moines Lincoln, 87-49, to advance to a semifinal game against Ames on Friday.

“The advantage is to us because we have a playoff game under our belts,” Liley said about Dowling. “We’ll see the same style of play and we’ll be prepared for it. It’s a big game. It’ll be fun and we play great on the road. The kids are excited about

going into play those guys.”

Newton’s leading scorer senior Connor Gholson and his teammates know teams are going to try to limit him. The J-Hawks were set on it Monday.

“I just keep confidence in myself, stay strong with the ball and look for my teammates because I know they can score it,” Gholson said after the game Monday when

he was held without a point in the first quarter.

Newton led 17-13 at the conclusion of the first quarter with Urbandale. Miller hit a 3-pointer to open the second quarter for the J-Hawks, but Gholson connected on a jump shot which ignited an 8-0 run by the Cardinals.

Sixth-ranked Mohawks end 15th-ranked Hawks’ playoff run

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WILTON — Despite not having a strong offensive performance in the first half, the 15th-ranked Lynnville-Sully Hawks were in Monday’s Class 1A Region 5 championship game right to the end.

Sixth-ranked Marquette Catholic was able to pull out a 53-46 win for the regional title and 1A state tournament berth. Lynnville-Sully finished the season at 21-3.

The Hawks mustered just 11 first-half points, trailing the Mohawks 19-11 at halftime. Marquette Catholic maintained its lead with a 1714 scoring edge in the third quarter.

Lynnville-Sully kept charging forward to outscore the Mohawks 21-17 in the final eight minutes. It just wasn’t enough to take the win.

“I am very proud of how hard the girls played tonight. They never gave up and battled to the end,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “We didn’t get our offense going in the first half. We had some chances but just could not knock them down. I think their size hurt us tonight, but the girls kept battling to overcome it.”

Senior Brenna Lanser became the seventh player in Lynnville-Sully girls’ five-player basketball history to reach the 1,000-point career mark. She had 995 going into Monday’s contest.

Lanser led the Hawks with

20 points, which pushed her career point total to 1,015. She went 8-of-12 at the free-throw line, hit two 3-pointers and had three 2-point field goals.

“I want to thank our two seniors — Jelissa and Brenna — for all they did for our program the last four years,” Hulsing said.

Jelissa Rozendaal scored two points, had one assist, one steal and three rebounds

in her final game for the Hawks. Lanser grabbed nine rebounds, dished out three assists and had three steals.

Lynnville-Sully shot 40 percent, 15-of-37, from the field and downed 13-of-23 free throw attempts. The Hawks had 26 rebounds and 21 turnovers.

Junior Mariah Vos scored 10 points and had two steals for the Hawks, Sophomore

Carson Fisk grabbed nine rebounds and had five points.

Junior Camryn Russell had four points and two assists.

Freshman Mallory Luftus added three points and sophomore Shiloh Cunningham had two points.

The Mohawks were 22-of52 from the field for 42 percent and sank 8-of-14 foul shots. They had 33 rebounds and 18 turnovers.

The Mohawks’ 6-foot-1 senior Marissa Schroeder had a double-double with 27 points and 13 rebounds. Freshman Tori Michel, who is 5-foot-11, added 11 points.

The 1A state tournament begins Monday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Iowa State hires new wrestling coach AMES (AP) — Kevin Dresser, who built Virginia Tech into an Atlantic Coast Conference wrestling power, was hired Monday as Iowa State’s wrestling coach.

He grew up in Humboldt and wrestled for the rival Hawkeyes. He succeeds Kevin Jackson, who was fired this month after eight seasons.

Dresser agreed to a seven-year deal worth $2.25 million plus incentives, Iowa State said.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — It was pointed out to Iowa State coach Steve Prohm that his team won at Kansas earlier this year.

Still, he insisted, this 8280 overtime win against Texas Tech Monday was the best road win of the season.

“This is the best road win today, there’s no question about it,” Prohm said. “We win next Friday, that will be the best road win. (Texas Tech) is tough, man. I told the guys, ‘you can talk about the (Kansas) game when we’re 40. Right now, we’re trying to get as many road wins as we possibly can.”

Monte Morris had 23 points and Matt Thomas added 20 for the Cyclones, which were held without a field goal for the final four-plus minutes of overtime but capitalized on making seven of 10 free throws in the extra period.

“I knew we were up two and we were hoping they didn’t take a three,” Morris said of Texas Tech’s final possession, in which it didn’t get a shot off before the final buzzer. “Worst case, it was going to double (overtime).

Donovan (Jackson) did a great job of stopping the basketball.

And they ran out of time. Good thing we were on the other end of it today.”

Naz Mitrou-Long add-

ed 16 points for Iowa State (18-9, 10-5 Big 12), but fouled out along with Deonte Burton. Both were unavailable in overtime.

Texas Tech (17-11, 5-10) Morris was led by 17 points from Niem Stevenson and 16 points apiece from Justin Gray and Zach Smith.

Entering Monday, Texas Tech’s last two losses — at TCU and home against Kansas — were each decided by one point.

Red Raiders coach Chris Beard quickly interjected when a question was posted to Gray about what transpired on Texas Tech’s last possession.

“I got it, Justin — I saw a team that fights their asses off that’s been in a lot of close games,” Beard said. “That represents their school well. Their town. Guys that go to class every day and do the right thing.

And a coaching staff that believes in the players. And we find ourselves in another one possession game.”

Jackson hit two free throws to give Iowa State the lead, 7978, for good with 1:55 left in overtime. Matt Thomas made

two more foul shots and Morris added a third to make it 82-78 with 17 seconds to go. Keenan Evans made a layup seven seconds later to pull Texas Tech within two and the Red Raiders fouled Nick Weiler-Babb, who missed both free throws, with 6.7 second remaining.

Smith rebounded the second miss but Texas Tech didn’t get off a shot; Devon Thomas hit a 3, but it came just after the buzzer.

“Just a lot of grit and toughness,” Thomas said. “(Mitrou-Long and Burton) fouled out at the end and different guys had to step up late in the game. Nick (Weiler-Babb) and Donovan (Jackson) both did that. Nick had a bunch of rebounds, Donovan had some big plays. Made his free throws.”

At the end of regulation, the Cyclones were called for an over-and-back while bringing the ball up court with the game tied 73-73, which gave the Red Raiders the ball with 1.3 seconds left. On the ensuing inbounds pass, Gray fired a turn-around jumper that hit the rim.

The Cyclones took a 59-51 lead midway through the second half during a stretch when they made six straight shots and the Red Raiders were

scoreless for three-plus minutes.

Morris, who entered the game first nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio (6.0), drained a 3 in the closing seconds of the first half to tie the game, 39-39.

Big Picture Iowa State: The Cyclones have pushed themselves into a tie for second-place in the Big 12 entering Monday.

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders are in a stretch of exceedingly close Big 12 games. It lost in double overtime to West Virginia Saturday and upset thenNo. 4 Baylor 84-78 on Feb. 13.

Up Next Iowa State hosts Baylor, with which the Cyclones entered Monday tied for second place in the Big 12, Saturday.

Texas Tech, which has not won consecutive games in league play this season, visits Oklahoma State Saturday.

In The Coaches Words “In overtime, we were telling our guys to drive the ball,” Beard said. “And we don’t get any free throws. And Iowa State gets 10 free throws in overtime. From where I was sitting, I thought that we drew a couple of fouls. But Iowa State does do a good job of not fouling — it’s a part of their identity.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Surviving and advancing — Newton High’s junior Garrett Sturtz attempts to drive past Urbandale’s Cade Friedrichsen (10) and away from Henry Drake (12) in the final minutes of Monday’s Class 4A Substate 7 quarterfinal game at home against the visiting J-Hawks. Sturtz sank four free throws in the last minute of the game to seal a 51-44 win for the Cardinals, allowing them to advance to the substate semifinals on Friday.

Playoffs Continued from Page 1B “Once I got the first one to go down everything was fine.

We were feeding off the crowd and atmosphere,” Gholson said.

A basket by Maher put the Cardinals up 29-20 at halftime. Liley said Maher is a senior captain and seniors are looking to extend their season.

“Our seniors were not ready for it to end. They didn’t want their final game to be on their home court. We protected our home court and ad-

vanced,” Liley said.

The J-Hawks scored the opening two baskets of the second half and had the ball.

Junior guard Garrett Sturtz stole the ball and had a layup.

Shooting 3-pointers has been a staple for the Newton boys this season, but the Cardinals only had two treys in Monday’s game. One came in the first quarter by Maher and the second was delivered by Gholson in the third quarter to put Newton up 36-26.

Urbandale battled right back, reeling off nine unanswered to make it 36-35 with 57 seconds left in the third quarter. Gholson’s basket made it 38-35 heading into

the final eight minutes of play.

After Vanderlaan’s field goal put Newton back in front, 40-39 a minute into the fourth quarter. Sturtz scored at the 4:40 mark to give the Cardinals a four-point lead.

Miller sank two free throws with 2:07 on the game clock to make it 44-42. Vanderlaan and Sturtz delivered at the free-throw line down the stretch for Newton.

“We got a couple of stops down the stretch, took a charge and hit big free throws. Our delay game was great and the kids were able to salt away a victory. That’s playoff basketball. Our kids did a good job of executing

tonight,” Liley said.

Maher’s breakaway dunk at the end gave the home crowd a final send off for the rest of the playoff season. Maher was the one who took a charge against Miller with 1:16 left in the game. He ended up with 15 points and four rebounds.

Newton shot 51 percent, 22-of-43, from the field overall. Urbandale shot 37 percent, 17-of-46, from the field.

The Cardinals hit 7-of-9 free throw tries and the J-Hawks went 5-of-6 at the line. Each team had 23 rebounds.

Sturtz finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, two steals, two assists and blocked two shots. Gholson scored 13

points and had five rebounds.

“Yes, we’re ready to go to Dowling and play,” Gholson said.

Miller led Urbandale with 18 loins. A.J. Costello added 10 points.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It takes a confident person to risk being misunderstood and maybe that’s partly why you’ll do it. Plus, you’ll learn more from people who are dissimilar to you than from people with whom you have a great deal in common.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When things get a little more colorful and dramatic than is comfortable, be grateful for it. Were you to be limited to a very confined and unvarying society, you would be quickly bored to tears.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Discipline is just not something you easily come up with on

seem committed to talking things to death, you jump in and fix it.

your own right now. Enlist the help of a coach, a champion or a supportive friend. Not only will you get results; you’ll feel loved in the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Before you get into the mix, remind yourself of your purpose. While you’re at it, revel for a few minutes in what you’re all about. Because if you’re not sure of this, someone will come along and fill in the blanks for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your big dream of the day may not be anything too spectacular; rather, it’s a small personal accomplishment or meaningful exchange that drives you to work deliberately and connect warmly with others today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Don’t be surprised if, when you sit down to make a positive plan of action, negativity comes first. Work through the grievances. Once you give them airtime, they’ll go away.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fun-loving people are the best when fun is chief on the agenda. What about when it’s not? If their love of fun is stronger than their love of doing the job at hand, trust your instincts and get the right person for the job.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re an artist. This doesn’t always present itself in the way some people think about creativity, but there are so many ways to turn life into a beautiful experience. That’s what you’ll chase today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Sameness leads to staleness.

Seek variety and diversity. It takes an effort to mix things up, and you’ll probably meet with resistance from those more fearful than you. Do it anyway. Everyone will be better for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s a day to read and learn.

Social topics, in particular, will be lucky to know about.

They’ll also be as exciting to read up on as any fiction, because this learning paves the way to new adventures.
