Traffic signals in downtown poised for redesign

E

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

xisting traffic signals along First Avenue in the downtown area will get a redesign. Newton City Council approved Shive-Hattery Architecture and Engineering firm on Monday to create a design to upgrade the signals and look at adding left turn lanes to various intersections.

“I hear it from constituents but I also hear it from the business community where people are struggling to get in and out of their businesses because of the lights and the timing,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said.

The seven traffic signals along First Avenue from West Fourth Street to East Fourth Street are 34-years-old and in recent years, it has come to the attention of the city they are in need of replacement.

Due to the age of the electronics and controllers city administrator Matt Muckler said the signal timing is often inconsistent resulting in motorists stopping several times along First Avenue. Also, repair parts have become difficult to acquire to fix any issues with the signals.

“A newer traffic signal system can provide better traffic flow through the downtown while maintaining pedestrian safety,” Muckler said.

To begin the work, the city contacted Shive-Hattery to design a new traffic signal system. The design firm was determined to be a consultant with the expertise to perform the task and an agreement for $91,500 to obtain their services was approved.

The fee will be paid for using a $95,000 allocation in the 2017-2018 budget from the road-use tax funds.

The scope of services provided by Shive-Hattery include a review of existing documentation for each intersection and performing a site visit to inspect all intersection ramps. Based on the results of the inspection, an amendment will be prepared to include roadway design of ramps, detectable warnings, and other elements.

The firm will perform a field survey of First Avenue intersections with West Second Street and First Street to assess the addition of turn lanes and prepare a traffic analysis for those intersection, with current year data only, with and without improvements. The new signal phas-

ing, timings and offsets will be calculated for these two intersections and extended to the other intersections in the study area.

To prepare for construction, documents detailing traffic signal updates for each intersection will include replacing signal controllers, replacing conflict monitors, replacing signal cabinets, installing battery backup at each intersection, upgrading pedestrian signals to comply with the MUTCD 2009 and ADA, installing pedestrian push-buttons, installing video detection on all intersection cross-streets, installing a wireless interconnect system and moving the master signal con-

troller to the intersection of First Avenue and West Fourth Street.

An engineer’s opinion of construction costs for the proposed improvements will be developed and the firm will then attend two meetings with the city to begin discussions.

“This does happen to be a topic that I hear often from citizens,” councilwoman Evelyn George said. “Being able to address that with the age of the lights is good and also adding some turning lanes will make a big difference in terms of traffic flow downtown.”

contributions to the war.

Jasper County manufacturing, which was thriving during the war, is particularly fitting for this angle.

“Newton was known as the industrial center of the Midwest at that time, not just Iowa, but of the Midwest,” Barthelman said. “We had the industry here to do parts for the war.”

Maytag Corporation produced tons of parts for the Allies, including engine blocks and redesigned hydraulic cylinders. The Vernon Company and Newton Manufacturing Company also made significant contributions to the effort.

Jasper County’s agricultural role during the war was also immense.

During World War II, central Iowa possessed 25 percent of grade-A farmland in the country, EXHIBIT | 3A

Introducing performance inspired nutrition: Whey more than you think

By Emily Ring Newton Hy-Vee

Do you want protein from a company that puts its customers’ needs first?

Then check out newcomer Performance Inspired Nutrition.

Performance Inspired Nutrition was started when entrepreneur, actor and producer Mark Wahlberg and former 25-year EBP/CMO/GM at GNC, Tom Dowd, were inspired to supply their loved ones with trustworthy products built on a better, all-natural brand. They know protein is critical to building and maintaining muscle mass. Athletes, the elderly, those looking to lose fat mass and the ill or injured have increased needs for protein. Because of this increased need for protein, it’s great that Performance Inspired Whey Protein contains 25 grams of protein per serving, plus it has probiotics and fiber to help with digestion and keep you from feeling bloated.

That is why Performance Inspired Nutrition Whey Protein is our Hy-Vee Dietitian Pick of the Month.

The current RDA for protein is 0.8 grams/kg of body weight. But there are so many people who could benefit from extra protein.

Are you an athlete Athletes’ needs vary based on timing, duration and intensity of activity, which is why Performance Inspired Nutrition came out with Ripped Whey Protein.

Not only does it contain the same 25 grams of natural protein as the original, it also contains caffeine to enhance performance and 4 grams of the amino acid leucine per serving. Leucine is the key amino acid for building muscle,

and you would have to drink four cups of milk or eat 6.75 ounces of chicken to get close to that amount of leucine. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American College of Sports Medicine have recommended athletes consume 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day.

Looking to lose weight If you’ve been cutting your calories to lose weight, there is a good chance you are losing muscle along with fat.

However, studies show that eating more protein, or at least 1.2 grams/kg of body weight per day, in conjunction with resistance exercise, reduces the amount of muscle lost during dieting. This is especially important since more muscle burns more calories at rest.

Over the age of 65 As we age there is a natural loss of muscle strength and function. Studies show that someone over the age of 65 needs more protein to maintain muscle

and protein balance than someone who is younger. This may be because we become more resistant to muscle building as we age. Therefore it is important for the aging population to continue weight training and increase their protein intake to 1.2 to 1.6 grams/kg of body weight per day.

Performance Inspired Nutrition is one of the few supplement companies that contains no artificial or synthetic ingredients. Performance Inspired Whey Protein powder isn’t just for your post workout shake. Try mixing it in oatmeal for a high-protein breakfast choice, blending it into pancake mix for high-protein pancakes, adding it into a fruit smoothie for an antioxidant- and protein-packed snack, or mixing it with yogurt for an evening treat to aid in muscle protein synthesis overnight. No matter how you use it, you can feel good about giving your body the quality protein it needs.

Strawberry Banana Performance Inspired Smoothie Bowl All you need: • 1 banana, peeled and frozen • 1 scoop vanilla bean Performance Inspired Performance Whey Protein • 1 (5.3 oz.) Hy-Vee non-fat Greek vanilla or strawberry yogurt

• 1/2 cup sliced strawberries or other fruit • 2 tbsp Hy-Vee sliced almonds • 1 tsp chia or hemp seeds • Additional toppings, as desired

All you do: 1. To a blender, add banana, whey protein powder and yogurt. Blend until smooth and pour into 2 bowls.

2. Top with sliced strawberries, almonds, chia seeds. Add additional toppings as desired.

Newton Wellness Talks: Happy Birthday, Chichaqua Valley Trail Guess who’s turning 30?

The Chichaqua Valley Trail.

In 1962, the last passenger trains operated through Bondurant, with rail service permanently abandoned in 1984. In 1987, the first 20 mile section of the Chichaqua Valley Trail opened on the old railroad right-of-way between Baxter to just east of Bondurant at 88th Street, and the rest is history. We will be celebrating our 30th anniversary throughout 2017. Events are quickly getting added to the calendar for another great year on the trail.

Pedal CVT: June 10 the Chichaqua Valley Cyclists will host Pedal CVT. This

event will include a 5K run at 8:00 a.m. in Bondurant, and a bike ride at 9:30 a.m. The bike ride will include Bondurant, Altoona, Mitchellville, Mingo, Ira, Valeria and Baxter.

Check out www.bikeiowa. com for more information.

Pedaler’s Jamboree: Aug. 26-27 will be the Iowa Pedaler’s Jamboree on the Chichaqua Valley Trail between Baxter and Bondurant. We hope you can join us for two fun days of music, food and riding.

Community Events: This summer make sure you check out these annual community events along the trail: Bondurant Summerfest in June, Jazz in July at the Bondurant Depot Trailhead on July 7, Mingo Days in June, and Baxter Fun Days in early July.

Now more than ever we encourage you to make a day of it on the Chichaqua Valley Trail. For years, the trail extended 20 miles between Baxter and Bondurant. In 2015, the trail was extended 6 miles from Bondurant to Berwick, and 1.5 miles from Bondurant to 88th Street.

This allows the CVT to connect to the Gay Lea Wilson

Local & State News Exhibit Continued from Page 1A Barthelman said. The war effort required area farmers to stay home and work the farm land to produce food for both the troops and the general population.

From a military perspective, Barthelman spent countless hours putting together a list of soldiers from Jasper County who died in the war. When he started

his research, he was surprised to learn that there was no comprehensive list available.

Some lists included just 7080 fallen soldiers from Jasper County. Barthelman dug into the Newton Daily News’ archives on microfilm at the Newton Public Library and found more than 115 names. After weeks of research, the museum director is about ready to publish his list. “I want to be as accurate as I can,� Barthelman said. “It’s nev-

Also at the April 13 event, Chapman will debut his latest book called “A Journey: Reflections on 50 Years on Writing, Wrestling, Weightlifting and Heroes.� The book is 286 pages with nearly 200 photos, including stories on some of the bestknown figures in U.S. history — from Ronald Reagan, Muhammad Ali, Robert Redford, and Lou “The Incredible Hulk�

Veterans Continued from Page 1A and part-time county employee Keith Thorpe.

Prater is not a veteran, but he does have extensive experience working with veterans. He spent more than 40 years as an ordained minister and has more than 30 years of experience working with veterans directly.

Prater has worked as chief chaplain at several VA hospitals, including in Des Moines, Chicago and Prescott, Ariz. He recently retired in Newton and wants to stay involved in veterans affairs. Jackson said Prater is very passionate in his pursuit of helping veterans.

In other business, the commission approved the veterans affairs office quarterly budget report to send to the county supervisors. There was also discussion of future grant fund uses at Wednesday’s meeting.

The commission mulled over ideas for a large event next year with a sought-after audience of 300-400 veterans and family members. The commissioners discussed using grant funds to bring in food, speakers and entertainment.

The commission confirmed its sponsorship of a suicide prevention event at American Legion Post 111 and its support of Vietnam veterans outreach at the Legion. It was also confirmed at Wednesday’s meeting that the veterans affairs office started its advertising campaign with spots in the Newton Daily News and Jasper County Advertiser.

Jackson reviewed his experience at the DMACC Job Fair, where he connected with a few Jasper County veterans. The commission also looked over the March budget and confirmed next month’s meeting.

Q. When is the best time to brush your teeth?

A. Before bed. Why? Saliva neutralizes acids and washes away toxins. When you are asleep, saliva and tongue activity almost stops. Whatever is on your teeth before bed is doing damage all night long.

The path of discovery I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

have been fortunate to acquire a fairly broad knowledge of the theatre world having attended performances at the Des Moines Civic Center over the past couple of years.

I am by no means an expert, but for the most part when I head to the Civic Center, I know the basis of the show I’m about to see.

“Fun Home,” which is playing currently, was an unusual experience for me. While I had read the synopsis for the musical, I really had no idea what I was about to see. It’s a relatively new show, and it comes with the award power to make anyone sit up and listen. It won 2015 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score, Best Direction and Best Leading Actor. With that impressive a list,

a musical like this can hardly be ignored.

The show was told in a unique way.

We see the main character, Alison, at three different points in her life. At times all three share the stage. The driving force of the show was a daughter’s desire to understand her father through memories of her youth.

But it was bigger than that for Alison. She was trying to understand a man she never truly knew. The 43-year-old Alison was an omnipresent character — she never left the stage. The story was told through her eyes as she remembered scenes from her childhood and from her first year at college. These seemed to be the most pivotal moments in her life, as she attempted to rebel against her bril-

liant but volatile father. In college, Alison finally discovers she was homosexual. This revelation brought forth a title wave of secrets about her father and his own struggle hiding his own sexuality.

The three Alisons were the heart, soul and life behind the entire work.

Kate Shindle played older Alison, Abigail Corrigan played middle Alison and Alessandra Baldacchino played small Alison. All three have beautiful voices and worked together to share the story. The audience knew how the story ends, but you never quite knew how it would get there. These three actresses were integral in bringing the entire musical together. The show packed an emotional punch; and without these three, it would fall short.

The story was breathtaking, and the production was so inventive as it unfolded before you. It was a bold form of storytelling. Even though it was written mainly around the discovery of sexuality, the journey of discovery is universal and

can be applied to everyone’s life in different ways. Everyone has their “ah-ha” moment. Whether it’s about your career, love, friends, family, etc., we all have at least one.

“Fun Home” tells a story that could be anyone’s. You need only to put yourself in Alison’s shoes and take a look back at your own life as she does. It’s centered on figuring out your own story. It was beautiful and honest, and I am so glad I was able to see it on stage.

“Fun Home” will be at the Civic Center through Sunday.

One Man Star Wars Trilogy If you’re looking for some lighter material, check on the “One Man Star Wars Trilogy” at the Temple Theatre in Des Moines. Actor and comedian Charles Ross plays out the whole Star Wars trilogy on stage, and he plays all of the characters. It was 90 minutes of fun and a treat for a Star Wars fan such as myself. The show is in Des Moines through Sunday.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Surviving Part III This is the third of four installments of a short story, “Surviving,” written by Susie Clark. In the first two installments, Clark writes about the death of her and her husband’s two children, Dan and Lisa, from Neimann Pick Disease. She also addresses “anticipatory grief ” and grief relapse.

After our children were gone, my husband and I tried to find our new normal. We tried to step outside of the parent role we had been in for 23 years.

We were caught in limbo. Even though we still felt like parents, were we? How could we fit in with our friends now that we weren’t the same people we used to be? Our hearts were slowly healing, but that scar would always be there. The wound could forever be opened with a smell, a song, a comment. How could we survive life when we would always be different from everyone we knew? We enjoyed other people’s children, but it was bittersweet because it just emphasized to us what we had lost and would never again have.

The professionals told us not to make any major life-changing decisions for at least a year. Howard threw himself into his work. I found a job at a horse therapy organization where our daughter had taken therapy. I spent my days around handicapped children riding specially trained horses to receive their physical and emotional therapy. Because, like my daughter, I loved horses, this was a life saving situation for me. I felt as if by helping handicapped children like mine, I was honoring their memory. It was a beautiful facility spread out on 10 acres. Horses are very accepting, loving animals. Brushing, walking, feeding, riding them gave me an outlet for my grief. The horses didn’t care if I cried, they didn’t judge me, and think, “Boy, she’s not handling this well.” They just accepted me for who I was, no more, no less.

As an outlet for our loneliness, my husband and I bought two horses. We spent many hours riding the trails on the four hundred acres near our home.

I had the horses tacked up ready to ride when my husband got home from work. I made sandwiches and packed water bottles, and we rode until it was almost dark. The only sounds were the leather of the saddles squeaking, the wildlife in the timber, and the horses’ occasional snort. Being immersed in nature was very therapeutic. It was another way to absorb the fact that our lives had changed, but they weren’t over.

Two years after our children died, we decided it was time to return to our roots in Iowa. We couldn’t find a house for sale that we liked that had enough land for our horses, so we decided to build. We bought a few acres from my parents, and built a house on part of the farm where I grew up. This was another life-saving decision. Soon we were living back where I grew up, and we both loved it. Howard found a wonderful job at a bank, and again, we were finding our new normal.

When we met new people, one of the first questions was, “Do you have children?” For us that was a tough question. If I said yes, but they died, it made the person who asked feel very uncomfortable. If I said, no, then I felt as if I had just discounted the lives and memories of my beloved children. There was no easy answer to this simple question.

So often I felt as if I was outside looking in, watching everyone go on about the business of their daily lives. I wanted so badly to have to think about my teenagers driving, dating, college, marriage, babies. I knew I’d never have those joys. It was hard not to lose patience when listening to some people complain about their kids. I wanted so badly to remind them they are the most precious gift they’ll ever have. In most every situation, I felt I didn’t belong. I tried, but couldn’t relate to my friends’ conversations about their kids and grandkids.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Old theories hurt education Two prior education theories share responsibility for the downfall of education in this country, and the struggle to get back on track.

The U.S. started moving away from the system of concepts around 1900 with the adoption of the theory of behaviorism, focused on changing behaviors.

The decade from 1900 to 1910 saw the highest rate of immigration to the U.S. not seen again for almost 80 years (because it was cut off to all but northern and western Europeans in 1924, until 1965). The theory of eugenics was falsely believed to be a science at the time, hence the focus on adjusting behavior (due to the unwarranted fears of degrading the country).

Around 1950, the next big change not only changed teaching but also curriculum. Cognitive psychology rose with the in-

troduction of computers, leading to the perception of brains as devices that absorbed information and repeated it back — thus the move to memorization. Students who struggled to learn in this environment found themselves falsely labeled according to the false behaviorist theory applied to their demographic group.

Rather than re-examine the curriculum content of memorization, false sub-theories of what was “wrong” with various demographic groups began pervading teacher training programs. The regular dumbing down of assessment tests should have been a clue something was wrong with the curriculum and teaching theories, but it was easier to avoid accountability by falsely blaming students — and then their parents (both victims of this dysfunctional system).

In 2002, NCLB said standards had to be raised back up and all students had to be tested, in the hope educators would begin seeing the error of their theories.

That worked in some states but not in Iowa. In 2015, ESSA said the discrimination had to end against the various demographic groups in order to focus on a change in education theory and, thus, teacher training. The National Council of Teacher Quality assessments of state teacher training programs put Iowa in the bottom 20 percent, and its latest report in December 2016 showed little change to the elementary programs (with their stronger tendency to focus on memorization rather than effectively teaching concepts).

Iowa law requiring online education to use Iowa licensed teachers works against improvement. Claims by legislators that online students show lower proficiencies misses the point that Iowa schools do also. Allowing online to use teachers trained in states out-performing Iowa on NAEP would force improvement.

Collection of war letters preserves our military past DEAR READERS: Today marks the 100th anniversary of America’s entry into World War I. In commemoration, I’m mentioning a special initiative to save America’s war letters. Almost 20 years ago I wrote about a historian, Andy Carroll, who had launched a project to seek out and preserve war-related letters as a way of honoring and remembering our veterans, troops and their loved ones.

After the column appeared, Andy was deluged with responses. Today that collection holds approximately 100,000 wartime correspondences — from handwritten letters penned during the American Revolution and Civil War, to emails from Iraq and Afghanistan. Andy has donated the entire collection to Chapman University in Orange, California, and the project is now called the Center for American War Letters (CAWL).

This week, Andy and CAWL are kicking off an ambitious “Million Letters Campaign.” Andy will travel nationwide speaking at public libraries, museums, VFW and American Legion posts, civic groups, places of worship, military academies and more to explain the importance of these correspondences and encourage people to share with him their own war-related letters and emails.

If you know of someone who has war letters, please share this information so the stories and voices of the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our nation will be preserved.

Andy would love to meet in person anyone with letters to contribute to this “Million Letters Campaign” and is always seeking new venues. If you know of a place he should speak, email him about it. For families with letters who cannot attend, submissions can be sent to Andrew Car-

roll/CAWL Chapman University, One University Drive, Orange, CA 92866. (Originals are preferred, but scans are also appreciated.)

Ultimately, Andy and CAWL are seeking letters from ALL American wars, on ANY subject matter. For information on how to attend or invite Andy to your community, visit www.WarLetters.us.

DEAR ABBY: My son, “Tom,” is a senior in high school. About a month ago, he asked a girl named “Allie” to the prom. She said yes. Allie’s mom is a hairdresser. My husband and I don’t know her or her husband.

Allie’s mother has asked two different people about us. One of them told us about it; the other I heard about secondhand. So last week I introduced myself to her at a local function. We spoke briefly, and I told her I would be in touch. A few days ago I called to invite her out for coffee and left a message with my phone number. She hasn’t called me back. What can I do to get to know Allie’s mother better? — PROM MOM DEAR PROM MOM: Make an appointment to have your hair done, and you’ll have at least an hour with her.

SIOUX CITY — A Sioux City man has been accused of biting his 7-week-old daughter on the face.

Court records say 22-year-old Edward Valdez is charged with child endangerment resulting in injury.

A court document says the child was bitten on March 24, when Valdez was alone with her. He told an officer that the girl had been sick and wouldn’t stop crying. Valdez said he became frustrated and bit her right cheek.

Iowa House approves 20-week abortion ban Measure returns to Senate DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Legislature moved a step closer Wednesday to approving a stringent abortion bill that would outlaw the practice in most cases after 20 weeks of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape, incest or fatal fetal anomalies.

The Republican-majority House voted on party lines to approve the bill, which also includes a required 72-hour waiting period before a woman could have an abortion.

The legislation now returns to the Senate, which has already approved the bill but must vote again because it was amended in the House.

“Today we make a stand for our unborn girls and boys who will become men and women,” said Rep. Shannon Lundgren, a Peosta Republican and the bill’s floor manager.

“This is the first of many bills that I hope we pass as a legislators to defend our unborn children.”

By a 55-41 vote, with one Republican and all

Democrats opposing the bill, lawmakers moved to make Iowa the twentieth state to enact a ban after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The bill also would require doctors to offer a woman more details about an ultrasound, including an option to hear the heartbeat of the fetus.

House Republicans said the ultrasound viewing and waiting period may persuade women to reconsider an abortion.

Republican lawmakers in Iowa have long pushed for more restrictions on abortion, but this year they finally were able to move ahead thanks to the GOP taking control of both legislative chambers for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Elizabeth Nash, a policy analyst for the Guttmacher Institute, which supports reproductive health rights, said states like Iowa that saw Republicans take control of legislatures in last year’s election have gravitated toward bans that have been upheld in other states.

“Iowa’s in the position where abortion restrictions haven’t been on the front-burner for a very long time,” she said. “I think of this bill as almost pent-up energy on the conservative side.”

According to the Guttmacher Institute, 19 states have passed similar 20-week bans, which are based on the disputed premise that a fetus can feel pain at that stage.

Gov. Terry Branstad, a long-time abortion opponent, is expected to sign the bill. He expressed support for the restrictions at a recent anti-abortion rally.

“We have move work to do, and you have my word, that so long as I have the honor of serving you, I will continue to be a strong advocate for the unborn,” he said at the rally.

When asked about the measure this week, a Branstad spokesman said the governor reserves judgment on the legislation Democrats attempted to stall the bill during floor debate, which began Tuesday and concluded Wednesday evening, but they lacked the votes to change the legislation.

Rep. Mary Mascher, an Iowa City Democrat, questioned the need for such restrictions, noting that abortion rates in Iowa have dropped with increased birth control and sexual education.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, there was a 23 percent decline in the state abortion rate between 2011 and 2014.

After Lundgren acknowledged not speaking with a physician about the bill, Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, an Ames Democrat, questioned why lawmakers were making decisions that should be left to women and doctors.

“I am concerned about the lack of input from the medical community on this bill,” Wessel-Kroeschell said. “These are complicated decisions.”

A coalition of anti-abortion lawmakers sought to add further restrictions by filing an amendment to ban abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, or about six weeks. That GOP-led effort was withdrawn, as members did not have the votes to pass what would have been the strictest abortion ban in the country.

GOP lawmakers call for cuts in state spending DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa government spending would be stagnant in its next state budget under a plan released Wednesday by Republican lawmakers, a proposal they acknowledged could mean cuts for some departments in order to meet promised spending in other areas such as K-12 education.

The joint spending targets, which total roughly $7.2 billion, would go into effect for the budget year that begins in July. It’s about $14 million less than the current budget.

Republicans earlier this year slashed the current budget by more than $110 million to plug a budget shortfall, in part by cutting spending for state agencies, community colleges and public universities. They also agreed to use more than $130 million from a rainy day fund to plug a second shortfall.

GOP lawmakers have vowed to repay the dip in cash reserves within two years and keep a commitment to spend about $40 million more on K-12 education in the upcoming budget year.

It means other areas of state government will

take a hit in the process, though the details will be unclear until lawmakers piece together the bills that ultimately will make up the budget.

David Roederer, a chief budget official for Gov. Terry Branstad, said such reduced spending from one budget year to the next is rare. GOP lawmakers also acknowledged it’s not common, though they argued it was necessary to balance the budget amid revenue constraints.

“It doesn’t happen very often, but I think again we’ve put together a responsible budget,” said Rep. Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

A state panel that makes budget projections has repeatedly reduced expected revenue over the past few months, stating that receipts are coming in at a slower than expected rate. Different groups have different perspectives on what’s causing the decline, and Democrats have criticized tax credit spending and the use of surplus dollars.

Former fire training official could avoid jail in Iowa scandal IOWA CITY (AP) — A former fire academy administrator could avoid jail after allegedly falsifying test scores that were used to improperly certify thousands of Iowa firefighters, a scandal that has rocked the profession, court records revealed Wednesday.

Filings show former Fire Services Training Bureau certification and accreditation manager John McPhee has agreed to plead guilty to felonious misconduct in office. Judge James Malloy has

scheduled a guilty plea hearing for April 26 at the courthouse in Nevada and sentencing would be held at a later date.

Story County prosecutors have agreed to recommend a sentence of two years’ probation, an unspecified amount of fines and restitution and 100 hours of community service. A five-year prison term would be suspended. But Judge Malloy would not be bound by those recommendations and could opt for a different

sentence for McPhee, 49, who is free on bond. The charge carries a maximum of five years in prison.

McPhee was arrested in January, when the Iowa Department of Public Safety announced that 1,706 firefighters and emergency personnel had been awarded nationally-recognized certifications despite failing written exams. The agency announced last month it had discovered 739 more firefighters who were af-

fected, bringing the total to 2,445, or about 10 percent of those statewide. Those affected will be required to retake exams by the end of the year or start over on their certifications, which aren’t mandatory statewide but are required by some departments to be hired and promoted.

McPhee, who began at the Ames-based academy in 1998, assigned random scores to exams without checking or correcting them from January 2012

The bureau has started offering free retesting around the state for those affected. But leaders in the mostly-volunteer profession worry that some firefighters will not retake the tests and quit, adding to an existing shortage in some areas.

Connor Gholson becomes Newton’s all-time scorer

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Watching, waiting and working.

Connor Gholson watched the Newton High School basketball players when he was younger. He was just waiting

until it was his turn for the Cardinals, and he went to work.

“When I was younger, Trey (Vanderlaan) and I along with a lot of our AAU teammates would watch all the high school games. We sat behind the bench during games then

Newton’s Isgrig named Kuemper AD H

aving never been to Carroll before, 2007 Newton High School graduate Ryan Isgrig sort of took a leap of faith when accepting a teaching and coaching position with Carroll Kuemper Catholic three years ago.

Fast forward to 2017 and the decision to accept the position may have been the best of Isgrig’s young adult life.

Having already turned the Carroll Kuemper boys soccer team into one of the state’s best programs, Isgrig got a promotion last week. Effective July 1, Isgrig will take over athletic director duties at the school.

“I am very excited to begin this journey,” said Isgrig, who is married

go home and pretend we were the varsity players,” Gholson said.

Gholson’s work with his teammates paid off in many ways on the basketball court.

After playing four years of varsity basketball for Newton High, Gholson became the

This & That Troy Hyde to 2009 Newton graduate Stephanie (Lofton) Isgrig and the two of them have a newborn son named Emmitt.

“It has always been a career goal of mine to eventually become an AD.” Isgrig got to Carroll Kuemper in 2014 after graduating from Northern Iowa with a Physical Education degree. He has spent the past three years teaching PE, leading the boys soccer team and serving as an assistant coach on the football and basketball teams.

Isgrig’s record as the boys soccer coach is 31-5 in two seasons. The Knights went 18-2 and lost in the Class 1A state championship match last season.

The first time he stepped foot into the town of Carroll was during Isgrig’s interview. He likes that the community is similar to that of what he experienced growing up in Newton.

Cardinals’ all-time leading scorer with 1,395 points. He wrote his name in the NHS basketball record book in several categories.

But his proudest moment came when the 201617 Newton team earned the program’s first trip to a state

“My wife and I both love it here,” said Isgrig, who was a second-team all-conference soccer player during his senior season at Newton. “The boys soccer team was one of the few sports here that had never won the conference or qualified for the state tournament. I wanted the opportunity to help this program to the next level, and we accomplished both goals in my first two years.”

Transitioning to college basketball, there seems to be a change coming to the Missouri Valley Conference.

Mid-major powerhouse Wichita State is in serious talks to join the American Athletic Conference.

First off, I heard a lot of opinions on this topic Wednesday. The one that surprised me the most was that some feel like the AAC is not an upgrade from the MVC. In my opinion, it most certainly is an upgrade.

Who would you rather play on a yearly basis, teams like Cincinnati, Connecticut, Memphis, Houston and Central Florida or Northern Iowa, Drake, Illinois State and Indiana State?

basketball tournament in 25 years at the end of February.

The Cardinals played in the 2017 Class 4A state tournament on March 8 at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

GHOLSON | 8B

Whether or not this move is good for the Shockers or not is debatable.

Right now, Wichita State is at the top of the mountain in the MVC. The Shockers are far and away better than any other program in that league so the chances of playing in the NCAA Tournament every year are high.

But the AAC is likely a multiple bid league every year unlike the MVC. While the MVC won’t nearly be as good of a league without Wichita State, the move by the Shockers does help Northern Iowa and Drake.

The Panthers and Bulldogs now have a much better chance to play in the tournament. Not having to beat a team like Wichita State every year definitely makes things easier.

If Ben Jacobson is smart, he stays in Cedar Falls and becomes the program who can most benefit from this move.

And for new Drake coach Nico Medved, the turnaround project in Des Moines may just get a whole lot easier.

Colfax-Mingo’s Camp signs with Simpson football

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s Jimmy Camp did Wednesday what thousands of athletes do every year around this time.

Camp signing a commitment letter to play football at Simpson College is different than most high school athletes.

It guarantees his football career will continue, but he’s also the first person in his family to ever go to college.

“It’s a pretty big day for him and his family, and I am proud of him,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said. “It’s a huge thing for Jimmy and a huge thing for his family.”

The recruiting process to most athletes can be stressful.

Not to Camp. He enjoyed every second of it. Mostly because it was something very new to his family.

“It was overwhelming for me at times because I am the first one in my family to go to college. This is all new for us. It’s overwhelming for all of us,” Camp said. “I am very excited. It got tough in the last few weeks to make the decision. It’s the right decision though. I feel like I will be right at home.”

Camp picked Simpson over NAIA Division I Briar Cliff. He also had interest from Ellsworth Community College.

Simpson College reached out to Camp first. The Storm gave him the first opportunity to continue his football career.

He went to the program’s junior visit day last year.

“It seemed to be more of what I was comfortable with and will be the most successful at,” said Camp, who will major in secondary education or sports administration with a minor in coaching. “The size of the school doesn’t matter to me.

I just wanted the best fit where I can make the most impact.”

Camp was a three-year starter at Colfax-Mingo.

In his first year as a starter, Camp had 41.5 tackles and two interceptions as a sophomore in 2014.

He had 40 tackles, five tackles for loss, two interceptions and three fumble recoveries during his junior season that included eight wins and Colfax-Mingo’s first-ever postseason victory.

This past season, Camp earned Class A second-team Iowa Newspaper Association all-state honors after recording 46 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and one sack on defense and also rushed for 150 yards and four scores as the team’s fullback. The 17 tackles for loss ranked second in Class A. No matter where he plays in college, he likely enters college as an undersized player.

“I want to play wherever I can play early,” Camp said. “I will embrace the JV role if it comes to that. I will have to get acclimated to college football.

I am not sure what happens, but I expect to go there, have a great experience and enjoy

Hawk Co-ed Relays’ results are out

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s boys amassed 146 points to win their division title at Tuesday’s Lynnville-Sully Hawk Co-ed Relays. Pella Christian edged out Montezuma, 105-102, to claim the girls’ division title.

It was close atop the girls’ team scoring list through fifth place. BGM took third with 95.5 points with Lynnville-Sully in fourth at 95.

Colfax-Mingo was fifth with 93.5 points. North Mahaska was sixth with 52 points and HLV had 44 points for seventh.

In the boys’ division, BGM placed third with 79 points followed by Pella Christian with 74 points.

Colfax-Mingo was fifth with 71 points. HLV finished sixth at 61 points and North Mahaska was seventh with 40 points.

The results were delayed because of a technical problem with the automatic timing system at the meet. Because of space constraints, the Newton Daily News is publishing only the scoring results from Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo.

playing college football. I want to start right away, but I have to be realistic. I’m 5-foot-8 and 195 pounds right now. There’s only so much we can work with there.”

Camp played on the defensive line for most of his high school career. The Simpson coaching staff is looking at Camp on the offensive side of the ball, according to Lietz.

“Simpson is a good fit,” Lietz said. “I think they are going to use him on the offensive side of the ball as an H-back.

Their H-back in that system is a bruiser and they are looking for a guy who is not afraid of contact. Jimmy has never been afraid of contact.

“I think it will feel a lot like it did here. It’s a small-knit football family. I think he’ll go there and succeed.”

Lietz has been coaching Camp since he was in the third grade. He didn’t weigh much back then either.

“He always told me back then he was going to play college football,” Lietz said. “That just shows you that hard work can help you reach your goals. He put in the work.”

Simpson finished 3-7 in Matt Jeter’s first season as head coach in 2016.

The Storm have just 10 wins in three seasons since finishing 7-3 in 2013.

Gholson: Team success allows for personal success on the basketball court Continued from Page 1B “That was our goal to get to the state tournament and win a state championship. We believed in each other and in that goal,” Gholson said.

“Coach (Bill) Liley kept telling us our goal was to win a state championship. We said we’re going to do this and we about did.”

With Gholson leading the way, the Cardinals went 19-6 this season, which was the best record by a Newton team since the 1964 state championship run of 23-3. The Cardinals pushed the eventual 4A champion Iowa City West the hardest at the state tournament, losing 57-51 in the opening round game.

“I remember coming home when we beat Johnston in the substate final to the pep rally here at our gym. It was surreal,” Gholson said. “It finally sunk in after that — we were going to state and all the work we put in for two years is paying off.”

Newton fell short of its ultimate goal as a team with four seniors and one junior on the court. Gholson is leaving the basketball court as one of three Newton High School basketball players to score more than 1,000 points in his career.

Gholson took over the top spot in career scoring from Tyler Wood, who had 1,076 points (2014-17) and also passed Curt Greeley, who scored 1,020 points (20032006). Gholson moved pass Wood as the most prolific shooter from 3-point field goal range in Newton history.

The 6-foot-3 inch guard drained 79-of-204 3-point field goals his senior season, which led Class 4A and put him atop of the NHS most 3-point field goals made in a season list. He also holds the No. 4 spot on that list with 67 made 3-pointers as a junior in 2016. Wood hit 75 threes in 2014 and 71 in 2015.

Gholson is No. 1 in career 3-point field goals made for Newton with 229 to Wood’s 223. Gholson hit 229-of-635 for his career for 36 percent from outside the 3-point arc.

“The spring of my eighthgrade year, Coach (Nick) Wilkins sat me down and told me I’d be getting a lot of varsity time as a freshman. He told me I had the opportunity to be one of the best players to come through Newton, if I worked at it,” Gholson said.

He worked at it going to a lot of the NHS varsity basketball camps during the summer. Gholson said he spent a lot of time in the gym working on getting himself ready to play varsity basketball as a freshman.

Gholson said in that same meeting, former NHS head coach Nick Wilkins told him

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Connor Gholson has tremendous range shooting outside the 3-point line.

to really work on his shooting range.

“I was slight of build and as a freshman I wasn’t going to be going into the paint and banging around with any body. I was always a pretty good shooter in middle school. I worked on shooting a lot that spring and summer to get ready to shoot a lot of threes,” Gholson said.

“I just keep moving back,” Gholson said about his shooting range. “I’m really comfortable shooting from about eight to nine feet behind the 3-point line (19 feet, 9 inches). I play around shooting a regular jumper from halfcourt. I can get it there.”

Gholson, who has been playing basketball competitively since third grade, needed 118 points to reach 1,000 and 194 points to tie Wood as he went into his senior season this year. It took seven games for him to reach the 1,000-point plateau.

“Coming into the season, I was pretty confident I was going to get the record. The big-

gest thing was to get to 1,000 points and then I figured it would be smooth sailing from there,” Gholson said.

Gholson was within 17 points of 1,000 when he took the court at home on Jan. 3, 2017 against Little Hawkeye Conference rival Grinnell. He scored 20 points in a win over the Tigers.

“I tried not to think about the career record too much.

We were in a bit of a slump as a team then. I was focused on winning games and getting us back on track,” Gholson said.

The career scoring record came to Gholson on the road at Pella Christian in a 65-63 loss to another LHC rival on Jan. 13, 2017.

Gholson needed nine points to tie the NHS career-scoring record of Wood.

Gholson played two years with Wood for the Cardinals and watched Wood take over the top NHS all-time scoring mark as a senior.

On a 3-pointer late in the second quarter, Gholson took the top spot on the NHS list

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Connor Gholson (22) can pass the ball well and plays strong defense, right, as he helped Newton to go 19-6 in 2016-17. Gholson was one of the top rebounders for the team, finishing with 127 this season and a career total of 378 rebounds.

as he had 11 points in the first half.

“It’s a pretty cool honor to have. There was a little bit of pressure on me, but I always keep team first and focus on winning games,” Gholson said after scoring 23 points that Friday. “Being teammates with him was great because of the type of player he was. It was always nice to have that motivation, and he always pushed me in practices. So, to go past him is pretty cool.”

Wood, who is a student athlete at William Penn playing football, came to Newton’s next home game to pass the scoring mantle to Gholson.

“I knew if we had team success, it would mean I’d have personal success along the way. It means a lot to have my name in the record book. I’ll be able to look back at that and have fond memories of what these past seasons really meant — us getting to the state tournament and all the friendships I have because of basketball. These guys are like brothers to me,” Gholson said.

Gholson, Vanderlaan, Morgan Maher and Josh Ventling are all seniors and Garrett Sturz is a junior. Sturtz is sitting at No. 4 on the all-time leading scoring list with 982 points.

“I put it out there for him to chase. I didn’t make it easy, but I’m sure Garrett will pass me next year. He is a tremendous player,” Gholson said.

Gholson has had the personal success on the basketball court. He has earned All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors, Class 3A state honors as a junior and Class 4A state honors as a senior.

He played in a senior all-star game.

He began playing basketball when he was 3-years old.

Gholson said he played a lot of baseball when he was younger and it was around middle school age, he realized it was easier to work on basketball.

“You can work on it year around and by yourself. With baseball, you can’t do a lot by yourself and it’s tough to work on it inside. Basketball — I could shoot by myself and I just fell in love with the game,” he said.

Newton High head coach Bill Liley said Gholson is one of the hardest working kids he has had the opportunity to coach in high school. Liley has been guiding the Cardinals the past two seasons.

“Connor has dedicated himself to being a highly successful player at his grade level in Iowa and in the entire game,” Liley said. “He is one of the best shooters I’ve coached. It takes a lot of time and work to build the skills he has. Connor is an outstanding student-athlete with a high GPA and high test scores.”

Gholson has the athletic genes as his mother, Karla was a high jumper and basketball

player at Newton High and his father, Troyt, was a state track qualifier at New London High School. His two older sisters, Kelsey and Erin, were athletic, graduating from Newton and Coe College.

“I was athletic. I was better at baseball early on, so no one expected me to use basketball as my path,” Gholson said.

“But I developed the love and passion for basketball.”

Gholson said he is competing in track as a long jumper and sprinter this spring. He has one more summer season for high school baseball playing for Newton.

There really wasn’t a tough decision to be made about which sport he wanted to pursue to the college level. He knew basketball was it.

“I’ve made a few visits to colleges and I have a few more to make. I plan to make a decision in a week or so,” Gholson said.

One of the frontrunners is Drake University for two reasons, Gholson said. Gholson plans to major in business and Drake has a strong business curriculum and of course, Drake is an NCAA Division I basketball program.

“Playing Division I basketball has always been a dream of mine,” Gholson said.

“I see myself more as scorer than a shooter. I can score the ball in many ways — driving to the hoop, hitting the tough pull-up jumper, shoot off the dribble and catch and shoot.

If you leave me open, I’m going to shoot the 3.”

I’m also a better passer than people give me credit for.

I play decent defense, but it is the big thing I need to work on going forward.”

Liley said Gholson’s overall floor game and understanding of what it takes to make not only himself better but how to play to make his teammates better has grown in the past two years. He said Gholson’s willingness to pass the ball made Newton an outstanding passing team the past two years.

“I’ve enjoyed coaching Connor these past two seasons. I can’t wait to see the great things the future has in store for him. He is going to be an outstanding player for whichever college he decides to go to,” Liley said.

Speaking to younger players, Gholson said, “work hard and stay together. Our group stayed together all through the years and we knew each other very well on and off the court. We’re friends and teammates.

“Working during the off-season is where you get better. The season is about winning games. For us, we played for each other.”
