Council to reconsider County Club donation

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council will have a second chance to accept the donation of the former Newton Country Club building on Monday.

A resolution will go before the council once again to accept the donation of the building and adjacent property, along with a new resolution to acquire the right-of-way from

the Talsma Trust, including the former pro shop.

At the previous council meeting on April 3, council voted 3-1 to accept the donation which did not receive the four vote threshold, causing the vote to fail. The property will once again go before the council, this time with an added resolution to remove the current day care property located to the west of the clubhouse.

Last year, the city purchased

4.25 acres west of the former country club building that will become a townhome development, Cardinal Ridge. In order for the home sites to have access to the public road network, an additional connection is needed.

The city is seeking to acquire the right-of-way at 1200 S. Sixth Ave. W. in order to have access to the public road network. The area includes the dedication of approximately one acre of land

that will become a sixty-foot wide public right-of-way.

The city has also sought an agreement with the Talsmas, who own the property, to acquire the former pro shop and current Gingerbread House Day Care Center. The agreement would be to have the building vacant by the end of July and demolished by mid-September. The city would provide grant funding for this demolition or incorporate it

into the project that would demolish the clubhouse of the former Country Club.

Also on the agenda for Cardinal Ridge is a change order for Halbrook Excavating, the contractor selected to construct the public infrastructure associated with the subdivision.

The original contract included paving the road with water and sewer lines to serve it.

NHS class supports vets efforts through Puppy Jake Foundation

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News Newton High School welcomed a few unique visitors to Deb Johnston’s 11th-grade history class this week, and one of them entered the building on four legs.

The Puppy Jake Foundation, a nonprofit based in central Iowa that connects military veterans with service dogs, visited NHS

students to talk about the organization’s mission and answer questions.

Harold, a 2-year-old retriever and service dog, was joined by his veteran, Tony, and Puppy Jake’s Nancy Saltzstein. The class presented Puppy Jake with a table full of dog-training supplies. Newton’s Hy-Vee donated more than $75 toward the cause.

Johnston said it’s important for

her students to understand that veterans paid a price, and they need our support. Puppy Jake is one way to help out.

All of the Puppy Jake dogs are placed with veterans who have post-traumatic stress disorder.

There are currently more than 30 dogs in the program, said Saltzstein. The organization takes in PUPPY | 3A

The Jasper County Board of Health began to map out what they would potentially need in a new location during its Thursday meeting.

The location for the department has not yet been decided by the Jasper County Supervisors.

Board administrator Becky Pryor presented a tentative blueprint of what the department called the “dream board,” which featured various aspects for what the health department would want to include in its new facility.

Since its inception a year ago, the Jasper County Health Department has been housed in the basement of the county annex building.

As the department started to develop, space and amenity issues began to arise including proper restrooms and easy access for those needing services.

The basement is an area of concern in the annex building with issues arising including flooding, leaking windows and mold.

Pryor said the department has looked at other health departments in counties such as, Marion County, Poweshiek County and Polk County to get an idea of what is common.

“We know we might not get everything we want, but we should really dream big of what we envision for what the health department would look like,” Pryor said.

Some features include a conference room to be used for local and regional meetings, a storage space, a waiting room, which is currently in the hallway and several restrooms, as there is only one in the basement.

“Our goal is to have good accessibility and follow ADA compliance,” Pryor said.

The floor plan hasn’t yet been presented to the board of supervisors, but Pryor said the health department is on the agenda for supervisors’ Tuesday meeting where she said contractors are set to discuss their report.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST Friday

Today is Good Friday, April 14, the 104th day of 2017. There are 261 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot and mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth during a performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theater in Washington.

On this date: In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Philadelphia.

In 1828, the first edition of Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of the English Language” was published.

In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time and began sinking. (The ship went under two hours and 40 minutes later with the loss of 1,514 lives.)

In 1935, the “Black Sunday” dust storm descended upon the central Plains, turning a sunny afternoon into total darkness.

In 1939, the John Steinbeck novel “The Grapes of Wrath” was first published by Viking Press.

In 1949, the “Wilhelmstrasse Trial” in Nuremberg ended with 19 former Nazi Foreign Office officials sentenced by an American tribunal to prison terms ranging from four to 25 years.

In 1956, Ampex Corp. demonstrated the first practical videotape recorder at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters Convention in Chicago.

In 1965, the state of Kansas hanged Richard Hickock and Perry Smith for the 1959 murders of Herbert Clutter, his wife, Bonnie, and two of their children, Nancy and Kenyon. The murders were detailed in the Truman Capote non-fiction novel “In Cold Blood.”

In 1970, President Richard Nixon nominated Harry Blackmun to the U.S. Supreme Court. (The choice of Blackmun, who was unanimously confirmed by the Senate a month later, followed the failed nominations of Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell.)

In 1994, two U.S. Air Force F-15 warplanes mistakenly shot down two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters over northern Iraq, killing 26 people, including 15 Americans.

Turner Classic Movies made its cable debut; the first film it aired was Ted Turner’s personal favorite, “Gone with the Wind.”

Ten years ago: Riot police beat and detained protesters as thousands defied an official ban and attempted to stage a rally in Moscow against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government.

Five years ago: In Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the RMS Titanic was built, thousands attended a choral requiem at the Anglican St. Anne’s Cathedral or a nationally televised concert at the city’s Waterfront Hall to mark the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking. Eleven Secret Service agents were placed on administrative leave as a deepening scandal involving prostitutes overshadowed President Barack Obama’s diplomatic mission to Latin America.

One year ago: Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders aggressively challenged each other’s judgment to be president during a Democratic debate in Brooklyn, New York, sparring over Wall Street banks, how high to raise the minimum wage and gun control.

That’s Odd Rapping firefighters go viral with ode to hose in area codes NEW GLOUCESTER, Maine (AP) — They’ve got hose in different area codes.

Actually they don’t because New Gloucester (GLAH’-stur), like the rest of Maine, is located entirely in the 207 area code. But New Gloucester Fire & Rescue’s parody of the song “Area Codes” by Ludacris and Nate Dogg is going viral anyway.

The fire department’s using its parody video of the song as a recruitment tool. It features firefighters rapping and unfolding firehoses while singing about how they’ve “got hose in different area codes.”

Entertainment ‘Survivor’ contestant outs competitor as transgender “Survivor” contestant Zeke Smith was outed as transgender by fellow competitor Jeff Varner on Wednesday night’s episode of the CBS reality competition. The move has prompted online criticism and condemnation by a major LGBT rights group.

Varner made accusations of “a deception” before revealing that Smith is transgender on the episode. Varner was immediately criticized by other players. He repeatedly apologized, but was voted out of the competition.

In the tense tribal council, which was taped last year, Smith explained that he didn’t mention that he was transgender because he didn’t want to be known as “the trans ‘Survivor’ player. I wanted to be Zeke the ‘Survivor’ player.”

On the contrary, he now says appearing on “Survivor” was a step toward becoming the man he wants to be. He writes in The Hollywood Reporter that by calling him deceptive, Varner invoked “one of the most odious stereotypes of transgender people, a stereotype that is often used as an excuse for

violence and even murder.

“In proclaiming ‘Zeke is not the guy you think he is’ and that ‘there is deception on levels y’all don’t understand,’ Varner is saying that I’m not really a man,” Smith continues, “and that simply living as my authentic self is a nefarious trick. In reality, by being Zeke the dude, I am being my most honest self — as is every other transgender person going about their daily lives.”

In a statement Thursday, CBS said “we have always been guided by the

principle that this is his (Smith’s) story to tell, and it remains so.”

The network lauded his grace and said it also had “respect for how Jeff Varner expressed remorse for his mistake” on the episode and in interviews.

“In the end, we believe this episode, accompanied

by Zeke’s own remarkable writing and speaking on the subject, has provided an unexpected but important dialogue about acceptance and treating transgender people with respect,” CBS said.

GLAAD criticized the outing of Smith.

“Zeke Smith, and transgender people like him, are not deceiving anyone by being their authentic selves,” said Nick Adams, director of GLAAD’s Transgender Media Program, “and it is dangerous and unacceptable to out a transgender person.”

Adams noted the show of support Smith had received since the episode’s airing.

“Moments like this prove that when people from all walks of life get to know a transgender person, they accept us for who we are,” he said.

GLAAD said it worked with Smith and CBS “for several months” to prepare Smith for the publicity blitz that would accompany the episode’s airing.

“Survivor” host Jeff Probst added to the opprobrium against Varner.

“I cannot imagine anyone thinking what was done to Zeke was OK on any level, under any circumstances, and certainly not simply because there was a million dollars on the line,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “You just don’t do that to someone.”

more puppies than it places because the success rate is about 65 percent.

“We get eight puppies into a training litter, they’re all the same age,” Saltzstein said. “Most likely, two of those are going to re-career, they’re not going to make it through the program. Not every dog is meant to be a service dog.”

Harold is special, though. He connected with Tony right away, Saltzstein said. Harold, who has been with his veteran for about six months, knows many commands that help Tony on a daily basis.

Harold can give hugs, pick up keys that were dropped and transfer a credit card to a cashier.

He can also let his veteran know when someone is approaching and hit the light switch on a wall.

Tony likes to keep Harold on his toes.

“I continue training just because I don’t want him to forget anything,” Tony said. “We go to the store, we practice all the time.”

Saltzstein was Harold’s foster, which means she raised him and trained him for nearly two years before handing the dog off to Tony. She said most fosters don’t get to see the puppies they trained after they’re placed with a veteran. Luckily for the trainer, she is family friends with Tony and gets to see the pair together.

“It’s been fun for me to watch them bond as a team,” Saltzstein said.

Puppy Jake gets its dogs from reputable breeders at 8-weeks-old. The hardest part of training the puppies, Saltzstein said, is not getting frustrated. When the dogs are young, they are fed only by hand, and they work for their food all day long by training.

Dogs with the right temperament and demeanor are eventually placed with veterans. The dogs that don’t make the cut still find a home without a service vest.

“Once that vest goes away, and once they can eat out of a bowl, and once they can just be a dog — it’s amazing,” Saltzstein said. “They are great family pets.”

According to Puppy Jake, the estimated cost of each service dog, from birth to placement, is between $18,000 and $20,000. To learn more about the organization, visit www.puppyjakefoundation.org.

“Anyone in the state of Iowa can access their immunization records online, parents can and schools can,” Pryor said. “A major accomplishment, we are going to get rid of about five filing cabinets of papers.”

Other topics at the board of health meeting included: • Pryor said Jasper County food insecurities is at 21 percent which is high above the state average. Pryor said children and the elderly are often thought about as needing aid but there is a demographic in the county that is missing out on resources.

• The immunization refrigerator broke down Wednesday in the department and the immunizations were transported to a back up refrigerator.

• Home care aids attended an eight-hour training to learn about mental health patients and how to provide aid. The home care aids are going paperless and will be using iPads to log in patient information instead of using 5-inch binders.

There are certain elements you need to make sure are in the contract, like the terms of financing your new home.

The vast majority of people finance their home through a mortgage. Investopedia advises that your purchase offer should clearly state that your offer is contingent on obtaining financing at a specified interest rate. Don’t offer a higher interest rate than you can afford, or you could lose your earnest money.

Specify if you need an FHA or VA loan, or if you’re paying cash, adds Investopedia. Also, if you want the seller to foot the bill for all or part of the closing costs, this must be included in the contract, as well as who will pay escrow fees, title search fees, tittle insurance,

Your offer should include a home inspection clause that lets you out of the deal if the home inspection uncovers the need for expensive repairs.

Include if you want any fixtures or appliances presently in the home, adds Investopedia.

Setting a closing date is also important, taking into consideration that the seller might need time to find a new home or that you may have a lease to fulfill, or a possible deadline to relocate for your job.

Your contract should also include a contingency clause if you must sell your current home in order to buy your dream home. That’s usually from 30 to 60 days, says Investopedia.

Finally, you should rely on your real estate broker or agent to walk you through the paperwork.

Jovie is a morning person

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | April 14, 2017

Trending Mike Mendenhall

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Dec. 15, 2016. ne month ago, if someone would have asked me to define the term “zoomies,” I would have said it must be chain of restaurants exclusive to NASCAR-owned motor speedways or the new name of the re-branded Dodge/ Chrysler company.

But it turns out, this is a term used by dog owners to describe the crazy sprints around the living room by an overstimulated puppy who just came inside from a 20-minute walk.

Yes, in November, Betsy and I became the proud puppy parents of a Lab/ Vizsla-mix named Jovie. As my family and friends can attest, we love that little

O

ball of crazy (not so little after a month of growth).

We met Jovie through friends who have a large family of youngsters and just didn’t have the time to care for such an active 7-month-old dog. They did the right thing and found Jovie a home they knew would be full of love and attention.

After a month of teaching her the basics — stay, lay down, come and sit (which she was already learning before we got her) — and making her follow the strict and vengeful rules of not tearing around the apartment like a no-holds-barred NFL game, we think Jovie is finally starting to love us too. Or, perhaps, just tolerate us as her food- and shelter-giving parents.

But Jovie is sweet. Every morning when we let her out into the open apart-

ment, she hops in bed and cuddles. She lays on her side and stretches, waiting for her morning belly rubs. This is when you can see her true smile.

At 45 pounds, we have to continually to remind ourselves that, despite her size, she is still a puppy. When she gets overly excited, she nips. They’re not bites, but she often confuses our forearms as chew toys. When her plush penguin or squeaky bone falls out of her mouth, she continues to lightly chew on what ever is next to her — usually my leg.

When we take her for walks, Jovie will march proudly in front of us with her tail wagging as if to say, “this is my family, and I’ll protect them.” But if another dog comes around the corner, she sees a rabbit hopping along or a bird perched overhead, nothing else around her matters. She’s not aggressive, but Jovie will start a little whine followed by a 360 degree jump/spin move until the other animal is out of sight and out of mind.

There have been some things about pet ownership I expected and others which have taken me by surprise. I used to roll my eyes at other animal lovers who called their pet every name other than the official title on their tags. Some don’t even sound remotely similar to the actual name. But Jovie is now known by several aliases: Peaches, Red Hot, Jovie-Joves and, Betsy’s personal favorite, Jovie-Beans.

Having a pet has helped us in more ways than we thought possible. Jovie gets us out of the house to exercise, we’re more aware of our surrounding neighborhood (there is a serious littering problem in Des Moines) and we’re quickly developing a consistent routine.

Jovie is becoming one of the most important parts of our lives, and I applaud any responsible pet owner who has taken the time to adopt or rescue a pet in their local area. It’s a tough but rewarding experience.

So Anyway Dana King

Will he remember that?

Editor’s Note: This column originally published August 6, 2015 We’ve always had a porch swing at our house, but when my great-uncle moved to Indianola from Clarinda last winter, I was selected as the recipient of an old red porch swing he’d had in storage. It had once belonged to his parents, my great-grandparents. That swing will have provided a respite for six generations of my family the first time my grandson climbs aboard.

Isn’t it funny the things we remember from our childhood that can bring a subtle smile to our face and warmth to our heart? It’s not exactly a sadness we feel, but more of a longing — those memories of our loved-ones from a ‘simpler’ time? (Isn’t that how we always classify the years at least three decades prior?)

I was not quite five years old when my great-grandma Lines died, but I remember that swing, and the apron she worn over her dress every day, the costume jewelry she seemed to never be without, the candlestick telephone that sat on a doily on her bedside table, the layout of her kitchen and where she kept her supply of Black Jack and Clove chewing gum.

Although my own grandson is only a 3-yearold boy, I often think about the memories I’m making for him. I don’t get to see him nearly often enough — a sentiment shared by many grandparents — but I love the time we do have together.

So what is it he will remember about me when he has his own grandchildren?

At this stage in his little life, he loves to come to “the farm” and see Nana Dana and Papa King.

Will he remember his excitement as he sees our house from the top of the hill, east of our place?

My ‘grand’ has his own drawer in my kitchen filled with snacks and sippy cups and he always makes a show of his decision as to which color sippy cup he’ll use for his juice. Will he remember that?

He knows his aunt and uncle, WeeWee and Bubba, belong with this family and if they aren’t around, he’ll ask where they are. Will he remember that?

When he and I lay on the trampoline and look at the clouds, we talk about the monkeys in our trees, because yes, I’m the nana that told him we have monkeys. (I just recently found out our monkeys are actually squirrel nests — not that I thought they were monkeys, but I figured they were huge bird nests.) Will he remember that?

I have a ‘magic sack’ at my house with an invisible ball he throws into it. That kid is amazing, because he gets the ball in that sack every time!

Will he remember that?

He likes to snuggle in our king-sized bed and watch TV. Will he remember that?

He loves it when Papa King chases him around our house and jumps out to tickle him. Will he remember that?

He knows Nana Dana always has Polish dill pickles in the refrigerator — because I’ve shared my love of Polish dill pickles with all my offspring. Will he remember that?

My ‘grand’ and I have always enjoyed spending time on the front porch talking about the farm, looking at the cows, listening to the birds and relaxing on the porch swing, which will soon be replaced with the red porch swing. Will he remember that?

REAP cuts bad news for rural Iowa; Skiff hits home run with Gala Newton Daily News Editorial

Thumbs Down: The joint-Iowa House and Senate Agricultural and Natural Resources Appropriation Subcommittee has released its proposed fiscal year 2018 budget, and it’s bad news for rural and small town development.

Funding for the Iowa DNR’s Resource Enhancement and Protection Program, more commonly referred to as REAP, would be cut by 25 percent — from $16 million to $12 million.

Iowa’s small towns and rural communities rely on REAP grants to fund projects related to roadside plant life, historic preservation, soil and water enhancements and more.

In Jasper County alone, 138 projects have received REAP grants totaling more than $1.5 million in funding from 1989 to 2014, according to IDNR. Two are large-scale efforts in development now, likely to bring

big economic development and tourism opportunities to our small towns, have used REAP to get off the ground.

Volunteers developing Quarry Springs Park in Colfax secured a $53,000 REAP Grant last year which paid for much of the lake shoreline work, improving safety at the 480-acre former gravel pit.

Prairie City and Monroe’s Rails to Trails Project was awarded $75,000 to secure .75 miles of an abandoned rail bed in Prairie City, meant to be a segment of an 11mile recreation trail connecting Monroe and Prairie City to Mitchellville and, eventually, the greater Des Moines metro trail network.

Diminishing these funds that help the vitality of rural and smalltown Iowa would be detrimental to Jasper County and the state as a whole. In a time of revenue shortfalls for Iowa, we know appropriators have to make hard choices.

But legislators should think twice before taking money away from our lower populated areas which are clinging to life during a

time of depressed corp prices and in a post-recession, 21st century economy.

Thumbs Up: Attendees of the annual Skiff Gala did it again, this time they raised $58,000 to go toward the obstetrics department at Skiff Medical Center. The event is a popular one, as guests dress up, mingle, hit up the cash bar and participate in live and silent auctions.

The community’s loyalty remained true to the dessert auction as it raised a whopping $23,650 this year. Some local businesses included Bun in the Oven, The Bake Shoppe and Pretty Little Crumb Coat. The majority of the desserts were made by individuals in the community, and they succeeded in baking and decorating delicious treats.

Meanwhile the community generosity, business support and camaraderie at the event embodied a point of pride in Newton and reminded us why we choose Skiff.

Newton Hy-Vee announces winners of Cash and Grocery Giveaway

Submitted Photo Winners of the Newton Hy-Vee $10,000 Cash and Grocery Giveaway promotion were Scott and Kim DeGraff.

Newton Daily News The Newton Hy-Vee recently presented Scott and Kim DeGraff with $10,000 after their names were drawn as the grand prize winner in Hy-Vee’s Cash and Grocery Giveaway promotion.

Between Jan. 2 and April 2, each time customers swiped their Hy-Vee Fuel Saver + Perks card at the checkout during their grocery

store visit, they automatically received one entry for a chance to win the promotion’s $10,000 cash grand prize. Additionally, 10 winners were randomly selected each week during the 12 weeks of the promotion to receive a $100 HyVee gift card.

Newton Hy-Vee’s $10,000 grand prize winner was randomly selected April 3. The DeGraffs were notified shortly thereafter.

“We’re excited to present $10,000 to one of our loyal customers,” Newton Hy-Vee Manager Scott Pearson said. “We encourage our customers who don’t have a Hy-Vee Fuel Saver + Perks card to sign up for one so they too can be registered for and rewarded with various perks throughout the year, plus receive coupons and deals on items they like to purchase in our store.”

Cooperative Telephone Company distributes AEDs in remembrance of employee Newton Daily News After the recent, unexpected loss of Cooperative Telephone Company employee Eric Van Zee Feb. 22, the board of directors and employees wondered how to best pay tribute to his memory. After some consideration, they chose to memorialize him by helping others, expanding on a program they began last year.

In 2016, the telephone company spearheaded an AED (automated external defibrillator) project for HLV School after seeing a television story about a wrestler who collapsed at a state tournament and was revived with an AED.

“We checked at the local school and they were in need of an AED,” Scott Schabacker, COO and general manager of Cooperative Telephone Company said. “With the help of school nurse Joan Robinson, three AEDs have been placed in our local school. The telephone company purchased one, and the booster club and school purchased the other two. This project got us thinking about placing more of these in the community.”

After Van Zee’s passing, it was felt distributing AEDs throughout communities served by the telephone company, placing them where they would benefit the most

people, was the best way to honor his memory.

“We surveyed area churches and community centers in our exchanges as we felt they would be logical sites,” Schabacker said.

Based on the survey results, Cooperative Telephone Company donated nine AEDs in Van Zee’s memory that were placed at the following locations: Hartwick — Hartwick Fire Department.

Guernsey — Brooklyn Elevator.

Ladora — Ladora Methodist Church.

Victor — The Methodist, Lutheran, and Baptist Churches, along with the American Legion Hall. One was also

placed at the Telephone Company’s business office. As Van Zee was a resident of the Holiday Lake area, an AED was donated to their community center.

Seconds count when someone has a heart attack. The faster an AED is used on someone whose heart has stopped, before help arrives, the better their chance for survival.

“Eric was a kind and gentle person,” Schabacker said. “He was always community minded. What better way to memorialize an individual than a project like this.”

He is the son of Ed and Andi Meyerink Van Zee of Newton.

Mother can give away baby clothes or donate for tax break DEAR ABBY: My friend recently had a baby and could really use my daughter’s old clothes, as our girls are only a year apart and I have saved practically everything. But it will cost a considerable amount to ship several boxes, and I could use the extra money myself if I sold the clothes at a tag sale. Would I be cheap if I asked that when my friend is done with them, she donate the clothes to a charity and send me back the tax donation forms? — WANTS TO KNOW IN CONNECTICUT DEAR WANTS TO KNOW: First, a gentle reminder that once a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient. And yes, I believe you WOULD come across as cheap. Either give the clothes out of the goodness of your heart, knowing you will reap rewards beyond the financial — or donate them yourself.

DEAR ABBY: “Full of Feeling in Arizona” ( Jan. 21) wrote about her husband lacking sympathy, and was worried he may not be there emotionally for her children in the event of her dying before he does. Your answer to her was to “outlive him,” which had me rolling in laughter.

Perhaps another idea might be to write letters to her children NOW. A heartfelt letter taking family members through the loss of their mom (from their mom) or dad (from their mom who has already passed) may be very comforting to some. Or several letters for different occasions could be a beautiful gift. Just a thought. — CHRISSY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CHRISSY: Other readers suggested letter writing (and a personalized video message) as potential solutions to this problem. Read on for a sampling of other comments: DEAR ABBY: Perhaps the mom should identify a relative or family friend to be aware of this issue and

ready to step in and provide some support if needed. If the children and this person are alerted beforehand, they will know whom to turn to in case Mom predeceases her husband.

Each child may wish to designate his or her own source of support, but the purpose of this exercise is to reassure the mother that her kids will not be alone. — MAURA IN OREGON DEAR ABBY: This woman needs to know that it’s OK for her husband to be hard-nosed about death. While he SHOULD be more sympathetic to the feelings of others, he wasn’t raised that way. His way of handling it is to put up a wall. Some people don’t have the same depth of feelings as others.

Mine are much more matter-of-fact than my friends’. But I can appreciate that we all grieve in different ways. — DAVID IN MICHIGAN DEAR ABBY: That woman’s husband could have Asperger’s syndrome, a type of high-functioning autism. These individuals, although accomplished and intelligent in many areas, have difficulty processing empathy. It makes them seem uncaring.

This condition makes interaction between spouses extremely frustrating and difficult. It’s worth considering.

DES MOINES — UPS plans to move much of its Des Moines air shipping operations to Illinois. The company announced Thursday that the move to Chicago Rockford International Airport in Rockford will eliminate 123 jobs at the UPS facility at Des Moines International Airport.

Rockford has a larger sorting facility with extra capacity and is closer to major markets. UPS spokesman Jim Mayer says all 123 people will be offered similar positions elsewhere in Des Moines.

Man intends to plead guilty in fraud case CEDAR RAPIDS — A court filing says a northern Iowa man intends to plead guilty to accusations that he kept more than $318,000 paid for the agriculture products he was selling. Richard Wubben, of Buffalo Center, made his intentions known Wednesday in a U.S. District Court filing. The filing didn’t say whether he’ll plead guilty to the original charge of mail fraud or whether he’s made a plea deal on a different charge. Prosecutors say Wubben sold seeds, farm chemicals and other agriculture products for Titan Pro.

CEDAR FALLS — Authorities say a police officer and two bystanders pulled a man who slipped and fell into the Cedar River in northeastern Iowa from the water.

The rescue happened Thursday near the Ice House Museum in Cedar Falls.

The man in his 40s was fishing next to a dam when he fell into the water below the flood gates.

DAVENPORT — One of three men charged in the death of a 29-year-old man last summer has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge.

Durell Parks Jr., 34, pleaded guilty Thursday to willful injury resulting in serious injury in the Aug. 18 fatal stabbing of Romane Nunn Sr. in a Davenport park.

Parks had originally been charged with first-degree murder.

He faces up to 10 years in prison when he’s sentenced May 24.

5 Governor signs wide-ranging gun bill into law

DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has signed a wide-ranging gun bill into law that includes a stand-yourground provision.

Branstad signed the legislation Thursday. Portions of the bill go into effect immediately though most will be enforced starting July 1. Democrats and gun safety advocates expressed concern over the stand-your-ground provision.

—The Associated Press

Plan would end tax that funds Iowa energy research IOWA CITY (AP) — A tax on utilities that has funded renewable energy and environmental research for decades at Iowa State University and the University of Iowa would be eliminated in 2022 under a Republican plan unveiled Thursday.

The plan would end the tax that raises $5 million per year for the Iowa Energy Center in Ames and the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research in Iowa City. It comes as the Republican-controlled Legislature faces backlash over plans to slash funding for the University of Iowa’s flood research center and a sustainable agriculture research center at ISU. Lawmakers enacted the assessment — 0.1 percent of the annual operating revenues of Iowa’s gas and electric utilities — as part of the landmark 1990 Energy Efficiency Act that created the centers. Eighty-five percent goes to the Iowa Energy Center, which promotes energy efficiency and alternative energy. The rest flows to the center that promotes climate change research.

The plan calls for transferring the Iowa Energy Center from Iowa State to the Iowa Economic Development Authority and giving it a new, industry-friendly mission.

Instead of promoting energy efficiency, the center would be directed to help expand the energy sector’s workforce, work with manufacturers to commercialize technologies, build the market for electric vehicles, advise utilities on cybersecurity preparedness and grow the

state’s natural gas infrastructure.

Its core funding source would disappear in five years without legislative action.

About a dozen ISU employees would be laid off under the move, although the center’s existing grants and pledges would be honored.

Sen. Mark Lofgren, R-Muscatine, said the tax’s repeal would force lawmakers to determine whether the funding should continue in 2022. He said the transfer would potentially cut the amount spent on overhead, freeing up money for research.

Democratic Sen. Bill Dotzler of Waterloo said he was disappointed that Republicans were pushing the “major change” without debate, predicting the centers will go away if their funding stream ends.

“Iowa is really rated as one of the best energy states as far as energy efficiency and alternative fuels,” Dotzler said. “The fact that we’re changing the mission of the energy center and that we’re going to eliminate the funding source is all problematic.”

Supporters said both centers use their state funding to generate tens of millions of dollars in additional grants from the federal government and other sources.

Jerry Schnoor, co-director of the environmental research center at the University of Iowa, denounced the plan. He said researchers have made major discoveries that create knowledge, jobs and protect human health and the environment.

“We hope to appeal to the eco-

nomic and environmental interests of the state to reconsider this funding decision,” Schnoor said.

Gary Steinke, a member of the Iowa State center’s advisory council, said he was “completely flabbergasted” that lawmakers would consider overhauling the highly successful center.

Iowa State announced March 6 that it was supporting the transfer, which caught many of its own staff off guard and angered environmentalists. The university suspended a search for the center’s director and ordered staff not to award new grants, even though legislation to accomplish the move wasn’t public.

Supporters say the transfer will prevent duplication with other state energy programs and align its goals with recommendations of a state energy plan recently unveiled by Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.

But critics said the transfer could jeopardize research independence by putting it in the executive branch. Utilities have sought to exert more control over the center in recent years.

Emails released Thursday show Iowa State lobbyist Kristin Failor was privately working with MidAmerican Energy on the plan in early March — even as Iowa State administrator Wolfgang Kliemann, who helps oversee the center, had no idea.

“Can we catch up today? The rumor mill has started really running on site and I need to put some sort of plan in motion to ease and institute the calm before the storm,” Failor wrote to MidAmerican’s Andrew Davis March 2.

Bill requiring ID at Iowa polls heads to governor DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa will require voters to show identification at the polls and will reduce its early voting period under a bill finalized Thursday in the Republican-controlled Legislature, a move that advocacy groups say will suppress voter turnout in a state known for its high participation.

The Senate approved the bill on a 28-21 vote Thursday, after the House passed the same legislation this month.

The measure now heads to Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, who has indicated support for the ID requirement.

Several states have introduced similar voter ID requirements in recent years. While some states have pushed a photo requirement, Iowa’s proposal would allow a person to show identification that doesn’t include one.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate has been a staunch supporter of the bill, which originated from his office. In a statement, Pate said it “ensures every eligible Iowan will be able to cast their ballot and will not be turned away.”

The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and other groups dispute that. ACLU spokesman Daniel Zeno said

Iowa’s current elections system works because of its combination of options like early voting and straight party voting. Early voting days would be reduced in the bill, and straight party voting would be eliminated.

“We don’t know what the problem is they’re trying to fix,” he said.

The ID requirement goes into effect in 2019, but voters will be subject to a soft-rollout before then. It will involve them signing a form at the polls acknowledging that they will soon need to show ID. Sen. Roby Smith, a Davenport Republican, said even after the ID requirement is implemented, there will be options for voters unaware of the changes, such as provisional voting.

He said the soft-rollout “will give people time to get used to the law.”

GOP lawmakers contend the ID requirement and other provisions in the wide-ranging elections bill will help maintain Iowa’s voter integrity. Elections officials in recent years have found almost no voter fraud in Iowa, but some confusion over legal changes has prompted some ineligible felons to cast ballots.

Iowa High School Musical Theater Award Showcase is June 5

Tickets on sale now

DES MOINES — Des Moines Performing Arts will present the fifth annual Iowa High School Musical Theater Award Showcase at 7 p.m. June 5. The evening of entertainment will feature more than 500 student performers representing 60 participating high schools from across the state. Tickets to the Showcase, which start at $15, are on sale now at DMPA.org, the Civic Center Ticket Office, and by phone at 515246-2300.

The Iowa High

School Musical Theater Award Showcase is a yearlong education program launched by Des Moines Performing Arts. Throughout the school year, performing arts professionals and educators serve as adjudicators to review musical productions and offer constructive feedback to each of the participating high schools.

Based on the adjudicators’ feedback, students and productions will be honored with an awards presentation. In addition, the Showcase will feature entertainment from participating high school students.

The program has con-

tinued to grow by leaps and bounds since nine schools first participated during its inaugural year in 2012. The program has now expanded to a record 60 schools since it became a statewide initiative starting with the 2016-2017 school year.

Further details regarding awards and recognitions for each participating school will be released in May. For immediate information about the Iowa High School Musical Theater Award Showcase, visit www.desmoinesperformingarts. org/education/k-12/musical-theater.php

Iowa’s Hidden Treasures with Dan Kaercher 6 p.m. May 18 — Dan Kaercher, retired editor-in-chief of Midwest Living Magazine and former Iowa Public Television host, spent years traveling in almost every one of Iowa’s 99 counties in search of closeto-home attractions and getaways to share with his loyal readers and viewers. Historic sites, parks, natural wonders, quaint small towns, big-city attractions, museums and eateries galore: You’ll be amazed to learn what surprises you don’t know await right in your own backyard — Iowa.

Loretta Lynn coming to Hoyt Sherman Place in July Loretta Lynn will be gracing the Hoyt Sherman Place stage at 7:30 p.m.

July 7.

“To make it in this business, you either have to be first, great or different,” says living legend Loretta Lynn. “And I was the first to ever go into Nashville, singin’ it like the women lived it.”

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. April 21 and can be purchased in person at the Hoyt Sherman Place Box Office, charged by phone at 800-745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

In addition to being “first,” she was also “great” and “different.” Loretta Lynn’s instantly recognizable delivery is one of the greatest voices in music history. As for “different,” no songwriter has a more distinctive body of work. In lyrics such as “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’” and “Your Squaw Is on the War Path” she refused to be

any man’s doormat. She challenged female rivals in “You Ain’t Woman Enough” and “Fist City.” She showed tremendous blue-collar pride in “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and “You’re Lookin’ at Country.” She is unafraid of controversy, whether the topic is sex (“Wings Upon Your Horns”), divorce (“Rated X”), alcohol (“Wouldn’t It Be Great”) or war (“Dear Uncle Sam”).

“The Pill,” her celebration of sexual liberation, was banned by many radio stations. Like the lady herself, Loretta Lynn’s songs shoot from the hip.

Loretta Lynn’s life is still a work in progress. She’s still out there on the road, still writing songs and still recording them as only she can. “I ain’t a star — a star is something up in the night sky,” says Loretta Lynn. “People say to me, ‘You’re a legend.’ I’m not a legend. I’m just a woman.”

Eleventh-ranked Cardinals blank Lions

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Drawing a crowd every time she has possession of the ball, Newton High’s alltime leading goal scorer Ryanne Rausch did another aspect of soccer she’s good at — pass. Rausch had the ball in the corner to the right side of the field, she made a pass to the middle of the field.

Senior midfielder Taylor Shipley was in the right spot to drive home the ball into the net past Des Moines Christian goal keeper Aspen Brockhouse. The goal was the first of two scored

by Shipley in Thursday’s 5-0 win over the visiting Lions.

The Class 2A 11thranked Cardinals won their home opener and improved to 2-0 on the season.

“Our passing was much improved from Tuesday,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said. “Our movement of the ball improved, and I think it is because the girls are getting more comfortable playing together.”

Shipley’s first goal came

three minutes into the game. The 1-0 lead stood for just under 10 minutes when freshman forward Karmeron Nehring unleashed a kick from the left side of the scoring box. The ball sailed past the keeper and settled into the right corner of the net.

At the 26-minute mark, junior forward Carter Lee had a backside goal. Rausch’s corner kick from the left side cleared the Lions’ players and Lee was right at the goal line to kick it in. Newton led 3-0 at halftime.

Shipley’s second goal came with 19:25 on the second-half clock to push the lead to 4-0. The Cardinals quickly claimed possession of the ball from the Lions on the kickoff.

Rausch made a run toward the goal with Shipley feeding her the ball. Rausch scored her 84th career goal with 19:02 on the clock.

Shipley had one assist and Rausch was credited with two assists. Newton had 13 shots on goal.

NHS boys edge Boone in golf dual

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News BOONE — Newton High’s Cardinals and the Boone Toreadors played stroke for stroke in a non-conference golf dual Thursday. The close ninehole event was played at Cedar Point Golf Course.

The Cardinal boys came away with a victory, winning by one stroke 166-167. Newton senior Austin Reynolds, shot a 1-under-par 35 to take meet medalist honors.

“Austin Reynolds had another fabulous round finishing the last three holes with a birdie, eagle and a par,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said. “Sam Supino stepped up huge for us tonight shooting

a 44. Without that score, we lose the meet.”

Supino, another senior, put together his best round of golf this season and tied for fifth. Senior Trey Vanderlaan carded a 42 as Newton’s No. 2 golfer of the day, tying for fourth. Senior Paul Maharry shot a 45 to round out Newton’s top four scores.

Freshman Damon Reynolds ended up with a 49. Junior Shaiden Simmons came in with a 51 in the variety meet.

Boone won the junior varsity dual, 197-218.

I’ve heard this said about spring weather here in Iowa. We also say it about Kansas weather. It’s just spring in the Midwest.

All the high school sports move outside in late March. The sports seasons kick into high gear in early April.

During the spring, Mother Nature has trouble making up her mind if winter is really over or not. It’s the same in Iowa or Kansas, although in Iowa we are 300 miles further north than I was in Kansas. It does make a difference temperature wise.

My first spring season here was 2014. The Newton Daily News has a

Devon Young had a 60 to complete the Cardinal junior varsity team scores.

Junior Michael Hodnett shot a 69 for Newton.

“Evan Walker again shot a good score for the JV with his 49 but the player of the night was Nate Keith,” Riley said.

“He improved his season best score by 15 strokes when he shot his 49. I was really happy for him. It was a good night for the Cardinals.”

LYNNVILLE — The Colfax-Mingo golf teams had the best scoring golfer on Diamond Trail Golf Club’s course Thursday.

That only resulted in one team win though as the Tigerhawks and Lynnville-Sully split a pair of matchups during South Iowa Cedar League action.

The L-S girls defeated Colfax-Mingo 224-234, and the the Tigerhawk boys (201) were 16 shots better than the L-S boys to win their first meet of the season.

Colfax-Mingo sophomore Delaney Underwood won medalist honors for the third straight meet, but Lynnville-Sully’s depth helped the Hawks claim the team win.

On the boys’ side, sophomore Ahren Teed was one shot better than freshman teammate Brady Berkey, and the 1-2 finish pushed the Tigerhawk boys to a convincing win.

“It was a huge, fun battle between my No. 1 and No. 2 for medalist honors,” Colfax-Mingo coach Nick Noring said.

“The competitive nature is on a high note with this young group of men. The family bonding atmosphere, with the drive to compete against one another on a daily basis is truly helping us improve at every aspect of our game.”

The Mustangs played a triangular at Pleasantville Golf Course and came home with a win after firing a 189. Carlisle shot a 210 in second, and host Pleasantville carded a 241.

“We were just seven shots off tying our nine-hole school record so I think we can break that record this season,” PCM

Anderson’s arm, Almora’s glove lead Cubs over Dodgers CHICAGO (AP) — Brett Anderson said he owes Albert Almora Jr. his paycheck from Thursday.

The center fielder said a high-five or a fist bump will do.

Anderson beat his former team with five solid innings, and Almora made two outstanding catches against the ivy as the Chicago Cubs blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0.

Anderson (1-0) won in his Wrigley Field debut for the Cubs. The lefty lowered his ERA to 0.84 through two starts with his new club.

Anderson, the only member of the Cubs without a World Series ring after Wednesday’s celebration, allowed three hits but walked four. He stranded seven runners, helped by Almora’s defense.

“Those are plays that you don’t expect to be made behind you and he made two web gems,” Anderson said.

“You don’t ever want to have to have those guys make those plays behind you, but it was one of those days where it was a grind from pitch one.”

Almora went high and hard into the ivy to rob Corey Seager, the second batter of the game, of extra bases.

Kyle Schwarber tried to match him in the third inning, but his bobbled catch of Kiki Hernandez’s fly to deep left field was overturned after replay showed the ball hit the vines before he controlled it.

The replay took 3 minutes, 55 seconds before it was reversed and Hernandez was awarded second base.

Almora later prevented Seager of another extra-base hit, stranding Her-

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals say Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock was recently diagnosed with bone cancer.

The 77-year-old Brock was supposed to appear at a Busch Stadium event on April 25, but that has been canceled while he is undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma.

His left leg was amputated below the knee in late 2015 because of an infection caused by complications

with diabetes.

Brock was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes more than 15 years ago and has worn a prosthesis since the amputation to throw out the occasional ceremonial first pitch at Cardinals games.

Brock, who was elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1985, says he and wife Jackie are thankful for the support they have received.

Twins avoid sweep with rout of Tigers nandez with a running catch on the warning track with his back to home plate.

Earlier this season, Almora made a leaping catch at the wall in St. Louis at a key moment.

Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell hit long solo home runs, their first of the season. Both came off Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-2).

Rizzo’s drive to right field in the first inning opened the scoring and sent a fan’s beer all over the bleachers. Russell’s homer to left in the fourth landed on Waveland Avenue.

This was a rematch of last year’s NL Championship Series and produced three entertaining games, with the Cubs taking two.

Carl Edwards Jr. threw two scoreless innings in relief, and Koji Uehara and Wade Davis threw one apiece for the Cubs.

Anderson’s last scoreless outing of at least five innings came on May 3, 2015 when as a member of the Dodgers.

DETROIT (AP) — When Jordan Zimmermann started walking people in a rare display of wildness, the Minnesota Twins were ready to capitalize.

Max Kepler, Miguel Sano and Robbie Grossman all homered for Minnesota, and the Twins routed the Detroit Tigers 11-5 on Thursday.

Zimmermann allowed a career-high five walks, all in the fourth and fifth innings, and that was when Minnesota’s offense began to break the game open.

Zimmermann (1-1) allowed five runs and four hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Anibal Sanchez was even worse for the Tigers in relief, allowing six runs in 1 1/3 innings and letting two of Zimmermann’s runners score on Kepler’s three-run homer in the fifth.

Grossman hit a two-run shot in the third, and Sano connected for a three-run homer in the sixth.

Phil Hughes (2-0) allowed four runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Rookie Justin Haley worked the final 3 1/3 innings to earn his first career save, striking out six.

The Twins avoided a three-game a time of 2:02.41.

Dakota Hostetter finished fourth in the 1,500 in 5:39.36, and junior Morgan McKinney-McGill was fourth in the 3,000 in 13:50.25.

Rawlins’ best throw was

Miguel Cabrera and Justin Upton each hit his first home run of the season for the Tigers.

Zimmermann hadn’t walked two consecutive batters since May 6, 2012, but he walked three of the first four in the fourth.

Eddie Rosario’s RBI single put the Twins up 3-2.

Zimmermann said he had a hard time gripping the ball. The temperature at game time was 47 degrees, and the right-hander said the wind made conditions tough.

Zimmermann walked two more batters in the fifth and was replaced

by Sanchez with two out.

The first batter Sanchez faced was Kepler, whose drive to right gave Minnesota a 6-2 advantage.

The Twins added five more runs in the sixth. Sano’s home run cleared the wall in center and made it 10-2.

Cabrera opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first for his first extra-base hit of the season.

Astrograph

Some would prefer to turn off the news, look away from the cemetery and ignore the concept of death or overwrite it with new versions of the afterlife. Others find peace and empowerment reckoning with our ephemeral nature and the short time we’re allotted. Today’s embrace of the sun and Uranus comes with the adrenaline rush of meeting a deadline.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 14). You have a talent for putting people together who fit well, and you’ll create scenarios that could never have happened without you.

You’ll be made an offer that seems so crazy to you but also quite right. Physical strength

and mental stamina will be required for the marathon-like situation in June. You’ll be proud and richer for the run.

Leo and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 4, 30, 19 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The social swirl favors you, though in a temperate kind of way. Contrastingly, some party animals you know wear themselves out because they miss the secret to maintaining a robust social life: Go home when you’re tired.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your purpose will converge with a bit of randomness you can’t help but pay attention to.

This may involve an exciting someone, and it becomes a part of your shared story.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Don’t start with what others want from you or who they want you to be. Start with what interests and excites you. What they need most (though they might not know it yet) is to have people around them who are interested and excited.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

People will have to come to a decision together. The compromise will either be even better than than the original idea each person brought to the table or it will suit none. Calm communication will be key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Relationships’ ease will have

more to do with what’s going on outside the relationship.

Stressors get lifted today, and the flood of relief makes it so much easier to be present with one another.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Be careful not to let your perfectionism keep you from expanding opportunities. Not everything requires such a high level of attention. In many situations, good enough is good enough.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You find it pretty easy to make rational decisions, unless you are 1) hungry, 2) tired or 3) emotionally involved. Hungry and tired are easy to remedy.

Good luck getting your feelings out of it, though!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Bottom line, the group will be better for your expertise, instinct and involvement.

They may not show you often enough how valuable you are, but hang in there, if for no other reason than this: They need you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Surrender if you feel it’s time, if you’ve been fighting out of stubbornness and ego instead of principle and purpose, if you’re ready to stop resisting where life wants to take you.

But if this is just about giving up, don’t.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will look for what you find and, bonus, what you beckon for will come to you.

Now all you have to do is

direct your energy well, toward loveliness and strictly what you would enjoy in your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can only give what you’ve got. Actually, you could borrow to give, but that would be a horrible idea today.

In fact, make sure you don’t give all you’ve got. Hold back half. You’re going to need a lot more tomorrow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll wake up and avoid some rather overblown expectations that are being promoted by parts of our culture in the realm of relationships. You recognize that this hype is toxic to your pursuit of love.
