Man jailed for stealing 100 tons of county gravel Newton Daily News An Altoona man is facing felony theft charges after allegedly stealing more than 100 tons of gravel from a Jasper County stockpile in Colfax.

Ted Duvall, 52, was seen by Jasper County deputies Monday using a backhoe to load a dump truck with county owned gravel from a stockpile located at the intersection of West 92nd Street South and Duvall Highway F-48.

Law enforcement believe Duvall was taking the gravel to his residence west of Colfax. Jasper County Secondary Roads reported the possible theft and the gravel is worth $2,500.

Duvall faces charges of second-degree theft, a class D felony. Duvall was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Seventy-nine public schools in 33 states received a total of $83,000 from California Casualty last week in the form of athletic grants. One of those schools was right here in Newton.

Berg Middle School’s Special Olympics teams were the beneficiaries of a $1,000 Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant.

There are 18 Berg students in Special Olympics this year, and the number is expected to increase next year, said Special Olympics coach and special education teacher JoEllen

Linn. The grant will help students who participate in the program for years to come, she said.

“Special Olympics is very important to our athletes because it gives them a chance to participate in bowling, basketball and track,” Linn said. “It allows them a chance to represent themselves, their school and their family.”

Since the grant’s creation in 2011, more than $580,000 has been awarded to 500 athletic programs across the nation, according to California Casualty.

County looks to restore courthouse clock tower The Jasper County Supervisors on Tuesday looked at options to repair or replace the clock tower in the courthouse.

The board approved an agreement with the City of Newton to use the city as a pass through agent for a state grant opportunity, although the city has no responsibility for the project.

The clock tower is a historical feature in the courthouse dating back more than a century to approximately 1910. The county has several options for the restoration process from installing a modern system to a complete restoration of the clock, dial and all associated parts of the tower.

Prices also varied depending on the work with the cheapest option being the modern system at approximately $20,000. That proposal has the installation of a 110 volt master clock controller, a 110 volt self-starting extreme

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST Wednesday

Today is Wednesday, April 19, the 109th day of 2017. There are 256 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On April 19, 1967, Kathrine (cq) Switzer became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon (at that time, a men-only event) under an official number by registering without mentioning her gender; by her own estimate, she finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes. (Bobbi Gibb, running unofficially for the second time, finished in 3:27:17.)

Former West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer died at age 91.

On this date: In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord.

In 1897, the first Boston Marathon was held; winner John J. McDermott ran the course in two hours, 55 minutes and 10 seconds.

In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces.

In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.”

In 1966, Bobbi Gibb, 23, became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon at a time when only men were allowed to participate. (Gibb jumped into the middle of the pack after the sound of the starting pistol and finished in 3:21:40.)

In 1977, the Supreme Court, in Ingraham v. Wright, ruled 5-4 that even severe spanking of schoolchildren by faculty members did not violate the Eighth Amendment ban against cruel and unusual punishment.

In 1989, 47 sailors were killed when a gun turret exploded aboard the USS Iowa in the Caribbean.

In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed.

In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.)

In 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected pope in the first conclave of the new millennium; he took the name Benedict XVI. Five years ago: Republicans rammed an election-year, $46 billion tax cut for most of America’s employers through the House, ignoring a veto threat from President Barack Obama. (The measure went down to defeat in the Senate.)

One year ago: Front-runners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton swept to resounding victories in New York’s primary.

Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro delivered a valedictory speech to the Communist Party that he put in power a half-century ago, telling party members he was nearing the end of his life and exhorting them to help his ideas survive.

Mayor Erich Rohrmoser of Saalfelden, near Salzburg, says officials chose Belgian Stan Vanuytrecht, a former artillery officer, surveyor and a Roman Catholic deacon, because the bearded 58-year-old pipe smoker “emanates calm and comes across as steady.”

O’Reilly is on a nearly two-week vacation at the same time Fox News Channel’s parent company looks into a woman’s accusation that her career was slowed when she spurned his advances. Dozens of his show’s advertisers have fled following reports of harassment settlements paid to other women. O’Reilly has denied any wrongdoing.

Despite the vacation, the pressure is staying on O’Reilly and 21st Century Fox, which is looking into at least one complaint about his behavior.

Jasper County Maintenance Director Adam Sparks said other counties throughout the state have done a similar process but broke it into phases instead of completing it all at once. While that is an option, Sparks would prefer to undergo the project as a whole instead of piecing it out.

“When I look at it, I am trying to do it all one whole project, not split it up into two or

three different times,” Sparks said. “What we are trying to do is get this clock back into historical grade.”

Sparks has been in contact with several clock restoration companies and received a quote from Mechanical Watch Supply of Minneapolis, Minn. which was presented to the board. A second company plans to make a stop in the coming weeks to view the project and submit a proposal.

While the first modern op-

tion was left on the table, several county officials spoke of the previous historic restoration work done in the courthouse and the positive feedback they have received from the public.

“I have been in county government for a long time and have been to a lot of courthouses and have seen supervisors fix things on the cheap, and it has ruined their courthouse,” auditor Dennis Parrot said. “The public hasn’t liked it, and people that come along

in later years wish it had been done different. The county courthouse is the largest asset the county has, it is the most prestigious the county has.

This is one of those things the money needs to be spent on, in my opinion.”

A final proposal for clock tower will go before the board at a later meeting.

The United Way of Jasper County has awarded more than $225,000 in funding and services to 15 area nonprofits.

The funds allocated will support programs ranging from literacy programs in schools to food and shelter assistance, access to medical care to advocates supporting victims of domestic violence.

Lowe “United Way of Jasper County funding will truly have an impact on lives here in Jasper County,” said Jessica Lowe, UWJC executive director. “With help from this funding, agencies will be able to ensure that individuals from infants to seniors will have access to a variety of health and human service programs.”

Lowe said 16 local providers applied for funding for more than $312,000 in funding for 25 programs for the 2017-18 fiscal year. The applications were reviewed by four allocation teams comprised of 20 United Way of Jasper County board members and community volunteers.

The teams launched the review process the end of January. During the course of eight weeks, the teams reviewed each application, interviewed program directors and conducted site visits to observe the day to day operations of the nonprofit agencies.

“The allocation teams do a tremendous amount of behind the scenes work to ensure dollars are going to support non-profits and programs

that will truly help local citizens in need,” Lowe said. “Allocations would not be possible without the help of those who volunteer their time to process.”

Agencies allocated funds for the 2017-18 funding cycle include American Red Cross, Baxter Early Learning Center, Camp Fire USA, Clearview Recovery, Crisis Center Women’s Shelter, Crisis Intervention Services, IMPACT, Jasper County Council for Prevention of Child Abuse, Kid Assist, Newton YMCA, Peck Child Development, Progress Industries, Jasper County RSVP, Salvation Army and Willowbrook – A WesleyLife Adult Day Center. In addition to funding, CCWS and CIS receive use of office space, internet and utilities at no charge in the United Way office building.

“The agencies receiving funding and support from United Way are truly doing amazing work every day,” Lowe said. “Those who work and volunteer with United Way are thankful we can support the agencies so they can continue to help individuals in need.”

The agencies were notified at the end of March, and received their first of four funding installments on April 1. Lowe said during the past six years, the local United Way has allocated nearly $1.4 million dollars.

“The work of United Way is made possible thanks to the contributions from businesses and individuals who wish to make a difference where the live and work,” Lowe said. “I am humbled by the kindness of people who live in Jasper County because I get to see each day just how much good their generosity does in our community.”

Seed available for wildlife food plots Planting food plots is a great way to improve wildlife habitat and diversity. Food plots provide nutrition for wildlife, especially in adverse winter conditions.

Plant species selection in food plots will vary for what type of species you are managing for, but most people choose to plant corn, sorghum, alfalfa, millet, soybeans, or sunflowers.

Many people think food plots are the answer to bringing back the pheasants and quail or promoting high quality bucks. However, it isn’t that easy.

Wildlife habitat is made up of four components: food, water, shelter, and space, and each species has different requirements of each of these com-

ponents. So remember, when you are working on your property this spring, try thinking of new ways to improve all aspects of the habitat on your land.

If you do, you will be rewarded by seeing more of your favorite species in no time.

Jasper County Pheasants Forever has sorghum seed available for landowners interested in planting a wildlife food plot. The seed is free of charge and can be picked up in the Armory Building, at the Jasper County Conservation Board office, located at 1030 W. Second St. S. in Newton.

There is a limited amount available.

‘You can free me all in the way that you smile’ I

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | April 19, 2017

Looking up at the stars Justin Jagler

spent many of my formative years in front of stereo speakers, watching records spin on a turntable. One of my favorite records — Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush” — bounced off the walls of my bedroom frequently.

I could babble on for days about my admiration for Young, but for now, there’s a simple line in the song “Tell Me Why” that I’d like highlight.

“I am lonely, but you can free me all in the way that you smile,” Young sings in a shaky tenor on the album’s

opening track.

The power of an honest smile is immeasurable. I’ve had crummy days turned around because a random stranger smiled at me as we crossed paths on the sidewalk.

Last week, I was introduced to a 9-month-old baby who was full of smiles. It was contagious. He didn’t have to speak to communicate. A smile is universal, and this baby’s smiles were reciprocated tenfold.

I visit Newton schools every week for the Newton Daily News Kids Talk. I always leave the schools in a good mood because the students, especially the younger kids, are usually smiling and bubbling with excitement.

It’s not said enough that adults can learn just as much from children as children can from adults. Elders would be wise to listen to young ones more often. Teaching kids total subordination squanders progress.

Young minds have fantastic ideas and the purest smiles.

Many mornings, as I head out of my apartment building to work, there’s a kind woman waiting for her transportation at the bottom of the stairs. She always smiles when she says “Hi.” What a great way to kick off a day.

You can fall in love with a smile. I don’t indulge in sharing the details of my intimate life, but I can confirm that it is possible to fall in love with a smile.

Of course not everyone can be happy all the time, and I don’t expect everyone to smile nonstop. Such is life.

Bad things happen. Life’s unrelenting punches can shake even the most optimistic souls. That’s exactly why a

well-timed smile can make a world of difference.

To be clear, I’m not demanding smiles. People should be free to do whatever they want with their facial expressions. However, I’m definitely an advocate for positive energy. I think Young shares an affinity for positivity. It shines in much of his work.

No one communicates universal truths through song lyrics like Young.

Twenty years after “After the Gold Rush,” Young released a song called “Love and Only Love.” The refrain drives home a message that will always stick with me.

“Love and only love will endure Hate is everything you think it is Love and only love will break it down” Then, in classic Young fashion, he delves into a marathon guitar solo, which makes me smile.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

The insanity of the left’s child gender-confusion agenda The New York Times recently ran a piece by Jack Turban, a research fellow at the Yale School of Medicine. Turban says that doctors should begin applying puberty blockers to children who identify as transgender as early as possible. That’s because, according to him, “it has become clear that if we support these children in their transgender identities instead of trying to change them, they thrive instead of struggling with anxiety and depression.”

Turban uses as his example one 14-year-old girl named Hannah who was born a boy named Jonah.

Turban glows: “Hannah is using a puberty-blocking implant and getting ready to embark on the path of developing a female body by starting estrogen. Ten years ago most doctors would have called this malpractice. New data has now made it the protocol for thousands of American children.”

Ten years ago, doctors weren’t embracing politically correct insanity as medicine.

Turban, you see, claims that by transforming children’s bodies younger, we will help them avoid societal stigma, and that it’s that stigma that’s responsible for the shockingly high rates of suicide and depression associated with gender dysphoria.

But there’s no hard data to support that notion. A study from professors at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, for example, found that 46 percent of transgender men and 42 percent of transgender women in the study had attempted suicide.

Is this due to discrimination? The study does show high levels of discrimination against transgender people. But it also shows that the suicide rate among transgender women who say people identify them as transgender regularly is 45 percent. How about those who are able to pass for the gender to which they claim membership? Their suicide rate is still 40 percent . How about the suicide rate among those transgender individuals who have had hormone treatment? It’s 45 percent.

Surgery doesn’t militate against suicide either.

But Turban has an agenda. And so, he cites one study of 63 transgender children, which found that if they were allowed to “socially transition” — if people treated them as their preferred sex — then they had indistinguishable levels of anxiety and depression from that of their peers. But this study concerns children, who have not yet experienced the rigors of sex drive and sexual dynamics; it also ignores the small sample size and the fact that a reported 8 in 10 children who experience gender confusion grow out of it. But Turban’s fine with maintaining gender confusion for those 8 children out of 10 in order to preserve Hannah’s peace of mind — even if Hannah might have grown out of her symptoms herself, thereby lowering risk of suicide over time.

This is science with an agenda.

Adults should be free to make decisions about their sexuality and their bodies. But children should not be subjected to the whims of politically driven adults when it comes to massive bodily mutilation that impairs function for a lifetime — all before the child has experienced puberty. And society should not be obligated to obey the gender theory nonsense of the radical left, which seeks to confuse as many children as possible in the name of an anti-biological program in service to a political agenda.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Reforming civil asset forfeiture Civil asset forfeiture is a legal process that allows law enforcement officials to seize property suspected of having been involved in certain criminal activity. Any property that has been used to facilitate a crime; furnished in an exchange that is a crime; or the proceeds of a crime is subject to seizure and eventual forfeiture.

In fact, the owner of the property doesn’t even need to be guilty of a crime. Technically speaking, civil asset forfeiture proceedings charge the property itself with criminal involvement.

Civil forfeiture is intended to provide law enforcement with a tool they can use to go after organized crime, specifically drug traffickers. The justification for this practice is predicated on the grounds that it allows law enforcement to seize the assets and ill-gotten gains of criminals and, in turn, use the property and proceeds to fight against other similar criminal activity.

For the most part, civil forfeiture laws have been very successful in cracking down on drug trafficking and other serious organized crime. However, there have also been numerous cases, throughout the U.S., where civil forfeiture has been employed in lesser degrees of suspected criminal activity.

Since the burden of proof for forfeiture of property is lower, the accused could be completely innocent and yet have proper-

State View Rep. Greg Heartsill ty forfeited without appropriate due process. In many of these low-profile cases, the legal cost to prove innocence and reclaim seized property greatly exceeds the value of the property.

For example, if you are someone who has $1,000 in cash seized because of suspected illegal activity, it is more than likely, you will have far more than that invested in legal fees to prove your innocence and reclaim your property. This results in many folks choosing not to fight it.

In this instance, the accused is essentially considered guilty until they are able to prove their innocence. That is a problem in our criminal justice system.

Earlier this week, I floor managed Senate File 446 in the Iowa House to make necessary changes to our civil asset forfeiture law in order to remedy this situation.

In summary, SF 446 does the following: • Prohibits forfeiture of seized property valued less than $5,000, without a criminal conviction (i.e. beyond a reasonable doubt) • For property valued above $5,000, the standard of proof required for asset forfeiture is increased from “preponderance of evidence” to “clear and convincing”

• Requires a claimant to make a prima facie showing, which places the burden of proof on the prosecutor • Requires a proportionality review of the property that is to be forfeited • Requires law enforcement to document certain records related to asset forfeiture, creating more transparency in the process As someone who is a strong advocate for our men and women in law enforcement, I want to be clear that the intent of this legislation is not to cast a negative light on our law enforcement agencies that conduct their duties with the utmost professionalism. To be clear, I look for any opportunity to provide law enforcement with the constitutional tools that are necessary to perform their duties with an emphasis on efficacy and safety.

At the same time, we must also ensure our laws are constructed in such a way that preserves and protects the constitutional rights and civil liberties of our citizens, especially with regards to due process.

SF 446 is a positive step forward in striking that balance.

This legislation not only received near unanimous support in the Iowa Legislature, it also enjoyed a broad base of support from both sides of the political spectrum. I am proud to have played a role in moving it on to the governor’s desk for his consideration.

YOUR VIEW

Voter ID law is unnecessary At our local legislative forum with Rep. Wes Breckenridge, I was dismayed to learn there are so many deep budget cuts that will negatively affect us here in Iowa, particularly in mental health, child care, social services and nursing home inspec-

tions.

Yet, at the same time, we seem to have about $1 million available to fund “voter IDs” under the new voter ID law — just because someone thinks one of us might be planning to commit voter fraud in the next election. Never mind there really isn’t any voter fraud in Iowa.

This new law is totally unnecessary; we can’t afford it

either. The net result will be a hardship, especially for the elderly, disabled, minorities and low-income Iowans who will be less likely to be able to meet the new voter ID requirements.

To me this smacks of voter suppression any way you look at it, and a skunk is still a skunk.

This all stinks.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Wife used to swinging free now feels one string attached DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been into swinging for 20 years.

Everything has always been “no strings attached.” I was with one man several times before he married his current wife. She’s very religious, not into swinging and doesn’t know he is.

I’m so attracted to “Nick” that I dream about him and have met him outside our marriages. I know it’s wrong, but I can’t keep him out of my mind. My husband doesn’t know, and I know it would hurt him deeply. Should I tell Nick, or quit writing him on our swinging site? — DESPAIR DOWN SOUTH DEAR DESPAIR: And what have you to gain by revealing your feelings?

If you think it would make Nick leave his wife, forget it. Because you know it would hurt your husband — although I’m having trouble understanding why, because you’re swingers — I recommend you refrain from causing him pain.

DEAR ABBY: My family has been put in a difficult position. Last year, a woman my brother had a one-nightstand with became pregnant. I have heard from more than one person that she’s known as the town tramp or “crazy.”

We’re sure she planned it because he makes a good living and can support the child financially, and she insisted on keeping the baby. My brother, God bless him, is doing what’s necessary, although having a child with a woman he has come to despise weighs heavily on him.

How should we, his family, handle this? At this point, I have no interest in laying eyes on her or her baby, blood kin or not. I feel no affinity for the child because I know my brother didn’t want it. Maybe in time, I could find a way to know this child, but for now my anger prevents it. — LIVID SISTER IN TEXAS DEAR LIVID: None of this is the

fault of the baby. No one forced your brother to sleep with the “town tramp.”

I respect him for living up to his responsibilities to his child.

You have nothing to lose by being kind to your nephew/niece and his/her mother. Frankly, it appears she could use befriending, and in the years ahead that baby may need a stabilizing female influence.

DEAR ABBY: My new father-inlaw always greets me with a hug and a kiss on the mouth. I come from a family who doesn’t kiss on the lips, and I find it extremely awkward. I’m not sure how to handle the situation.

I don’t want to bring it up to him because I’m afraid it would be offensive.

I have mentioned it to my husband, who kind of shrugged it off, saying his father is “old school.” I have started turning my head when we greet so that he hits my cheek instead of my mouth.

Please advise me on how to deal with this. — TURNING A CHEEK IN MICHIGAN DEAR TURNING: I think you’re handling the situation well. If your father-in-law asks why you’re turning your head, all you have to do is smile and say you save kisses on the mouth for your husband.

P.S. I don’t know what “old school” your father-in-law attended, but I wouldn’t set foot on that campus.

1 County won’t challenge new minimum wage law

IOWA CITY — Johnson County Supervisors have decided not to challenge the new state law that removes from local officials any control of the minimum wage.

The board determined after conferring with County Attorney Janet Lyness that the county didn’t have legal authority to sue over the legislation. It was finally passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Terry Branstad last month. In September 2015 Johnson County became the first in Iowa to approve a plan raising the local minimum wage.

Woman sentenced on charges of death of child DAVENPORT — A Davenport woman has been given 15 years in prison on charges related to the death of an 18-month-old girl in her care. Stephanie Harris, 31, had pleaded guilty in February to two counts of child endangerment. Prosecutors dropped a third count in exchange for Harris’ plea.

Court documents say the little girl died in November 2014. An autopsy report says she died of bleeding on the brain.

DES MOINES — A woman accused of embezzling up to $70,000 from a Des Moines church has taken a plea deal.

Online court records filed Tuesday say 70-year-old Carol Padgett pleaded guilty to theft and credit card fraud. Prosecutors dropped several other counts in return for her pleas. Her sentencing is scheduled for May 31. Prosecutors say Padgett took up to $70,000 from Unity Lutheran Church over the past seven years while serving as treasurer.

The Madison County Sheriff ’s Office believes the teen set the covered bridge on fire early Saturday morning.

ROTC accuses cadet of making up sex assault claim AMES (AP) — Iowa State University’s military training program has expelled a promising cadet, accusing him of falsely claiming that he was sexually assaulted during an altercation that left him hospitalized.

The cadet testified that during a July 4 bonfire near his family’s lake house in Nebraska, a 19-year-old acquaintance rubbed the cadet’s genitals and inner legs with a beer bottle against his wishes. He said he pushed the man away, and that the man hit him on the head with a bottle. The cadet went to the hospital in need of several stitches on his face.

ISU Navy ROTC commanding officer Capt. Scott Curtis alleges that the cadet, his lawyer and supporters concocted the sexual assault claim to win sympathy from military officials and paper over that the cadet had been in a fight while drinking underage — he was 20 at the time. Curtis has

adopted a panel’s recommendations to expel the student from the ROTC program and require him to pay back 2 ½ years of outof-state tuition and stipends, which is expected to amount to about $100,000.

Supporters of the cadet, who’d long dreamed of becoming a Marine Corps officer, say the conspiracy claim is outrageous and that the sexual assault did occur, noting that a friend of the cadet who was there corroborated his story in testimony. They’re calling on the Navy to reinstate him and investigate the program, which is dealing with an unrelated scandal in which seven members were involved in taking and posting explicit photos of themselves on Facebook.

The student’s attorney, Sean Timmons, said the case shows how male-on-male sexual assault in the military isn’t taken seriously.

Iowa lawmakers OK 20-week abortion ban, 3-day wait period DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa legislators sent Gov. Terry Branstad a measure Tuesday that would ban most abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy and impose a 72-hour waiting period on women seeking the procedure, a move highlighting the state’s conservative shift since the November election.

The Republican-majority state Senate voted 30-20 along party lines for the legislation, after the GOP-led House approved it earlier this month. Branstad, a Republican, is expected to sign it.

The 20-week provision includes no exceptions for rape, incest or fatal fetal conditions, though it would allow an abortion to be performed if the woman’s life is at risk.

At least 19 other states have similar 20-week bans, which are based on the disputed premise that a fetus can feel pain at that stage.

Some have been stuck down by federal appeals courts, though the bulk of the bans are in effect.

The bill also would require a woman to wait 72 hours before she could get an abortion. Iowa would join five other states that have passed the same waiting period requirement, the longest in the country.

The legislation is a victory for GOP lawmakers in the state who have attempted abortion restrictions in the past only to be halted

“With this vote, Iowa has gone from a state that supports women and families, to one that is turning back the clock 50 years.”

—Rachel Lopez Planned Parenthood spokesperson

by Democrats. Republicans control both chambers and the governor’s office for the first time in nearly 20 years following the Nov. 8 election. They’ve used the new power to push conservative-leaning legislation this session, including abortion restrictions.

A separate plan to remove state funding for Planned Parenthood is expected to pass before lawmakers adjourn for the year. It involves Republicans passing up millions of federal Medicaid dollars in order to use state dollars to create a family planning program that excludes organizations that provide abortions.

GOP Sen. Mark Costello said ahead of the final vote on the 20week bill that a baby is fully formed and developed at that stage, which he estimated to be about five months.

“I’ve got five children and it’s about five months when I could

put my hand on my wife’s tummy and feel the baby kicking, and she could feel the baby moving around,” he said.

Rachel Lopez, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, said in a statement that the legislation is “unprecedented and appalling.”

“With this vote, Iowa has gone from a state that supports women and families, to one that is turning back the clock 50 years. Lawmakers’ objectives are to shame women, and place undue and unconstitutional burdens on their attempts to access safe and legal abortion,” she said.

The bill also includes a provision that a woman get counseling prior to an abortion that includes information about the medical procedure’s health risks. Planned Parenthood said the counseling, approved in other states, is biased and lacks scientific foundation.

Former Iowa official’s discrimination lawsuit goes to trial DES MOINES (AP) — A former University of Iowa athletic administrator was an outstanding employee on track to head a college program until she was unfairly transferred and later laid off for discriminatory reasons, her attorney argued Tuesday during opening statements of the trial over her lawsuit against the school.

The trial is expected to offer a behind-the-curtain glimpse at big-time college sports, with testimony from athletic direc-

tor Gary Barta, head football coach Kirk Ferentz and others.

Jurors must decide whether former administrator Jane Meyer suffered workplace discrimination as a gay woman in a relationship with a Hawkeye coach, whether the school retaliated against her and whether she was paid far less than deputy athletic director Gene Taylor for similar work.

If they agree with Meyer, jurors could award her damages for pay and emotional distress.

But the university closed the door Tuesday on one potential avenue of relief by appointing associate athletic director Barbara Burke to replace Taylor, who announced Friday he was leaving to become athletic director at Kansas State. Some of Meyer’s backers had hoped she could move into the vacancy.

During opening remarks, Meyer’s attorney, Thomas Newkirk, tried to get ahead of the university’s arguments that she was a problem employee

by noting that Meyer was never officially disciplined for any reason during her time with the Hawkeyes. Newkirk said Meyer was on track to become an athletic director until she was fired, which he described as the “final nail in the coffin” for her career in athletics.

Newkirk said Barta once remarked that Meyer “would make a fine athletic director.”

Meyer’s problems began in 2014, when Barta fired field hockey coach Tracey Gries-

baum over complaints about her treatment of some players. Many players and fans protested the decision, and Griesbaum argued that she was treated more harshly than male coaches and planned legal action.

After media reports that Meyer and Griesbaum had been in a decade-long relationship, Barta transferred Meyer outside the athletics department while her partner’s litigation loomed.

5 habits you need to know to improve your metabolism

By Emily Ring, RD, LD Newton Hy-Vee Metabolism is a word we hear often. But do we actually know what it does and how to take care of our own? The human body is truly amazing.

Our body can take the food we eat and the beverages we drink and give us energy. Our bodies then use that energy to perform necessary functions such as breathing, blood circulation, food digestion and of course, physically moving our bodies.

Several factors can affect your metabolism such as your age, weight and even gender.

However, metabolism is not the main culprit of weight gain or weight loss. The cause of weight gain or weight loss is still the foods and amount of calories we eat and how much physical activi-

ty we get. But a healthy metabolism is still important for overall health and achieving a healthy weight. Here are five habits you need to know about to start and keep your metabolism in great shape.

Snacking Snacking can keep your engine running efficiently all day, if it’s done right. Think of your metabolism as a parking meter. Once your time is up, you have to keep “feeding” the meter. Eating smaller portions approximately every 3 hours can help keep your metabolism run its best. Perfect snack ideas consist of a source of protein and fiber and have around 200 or fewer calories.

Exercise The older we get, the more important exercise becomes. As we age, we

naturally lose muscle.

Exercise is an amazing habit that can not only help you build muscle, but maintain what you have to prevent loss.

Strength training and lifting weights are great options to add to your exercise routine. Your muscles will burn more calories than any other part of your body. So, the more muscle you have, the more calories your metabolism will burn, even when you’re resting.

Avoid skipping meals and over-limiting calories Remember the meter? Your metabolism needs to have calories (energy) throughout the day to keep it running. If you are not giving your body enough calories, your body will adapt to the restricted caloric intake and use fewer calories to perform the same

tasks. That will make it more of a challenge to lose weight. Your local Hy-Vee dietitian is your perfect resource to find this balance of how many calories you may need.

Eating enough protein to build muscle Once you have the exercise habit down, it’s just as important to re-fuel and repair the muscles you’ve been building. Protein is the main nutrient that can achieve this. Again, the more muscle you have, the more calories your metabolism can burn.

The best sources of protein come from meat and fish, dairy, nuts, seeds and beans. If you have trouble getting protein from food, try your Hy-Vee dietitian Pick of the Month, Performance Inspired Whey Protein powder, which contains 25 grams per scoop.

1 Tbsp. Hy-Vee orange marmalade 1 Tbsp. coconut spread

All you do: 1. Combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, turmeric and salt in a resalable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning once. Drain chicken; discard marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers.

2. Cook chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat for 8 minutes or until fully cooked and grill marks form, turning once.

3. COOK green beans in boiling salted water in a large saucepan for 10 or 15 minutes or until tender.

Remove beans and keep warm; reserve water. Cook potatoes in reserved water in same saucepan for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; return vegetables to saucepan. Toss with tomatoes, orange marmalade and coconut spread.

4. Serve chicken with vegetables. *Note: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling.

Don’t fall for fads If a weight-loss promise sounds too good to be true, it is. There is not a magic food that will increase or decrease your metabolism. Make sure you are getting a balanced diet from a variety

of foods as well as giving your body the calories (energy) it deserves to keep your meter running the best it can. Try this recipe from the Hy-Vee Balance magazine for a protein-rich, delicious meal.

Wellmark, Aetna Health Insurance announcements cause concern for Newton Residents Newton Daily News Recently, both Wellmark and Aetna announced they will leave the Affordable Care Act under-65 individual market in Iowa in 2018. The change impacts over 50,000 Iowans and was implemented due to heavy financial losses in the turbulent ACA market — more than $90 million by Wellmark alone over the last three years.

Those with ACA individual under-65 policies in Iowa will receive termination notices in the coming months and will retain their current cover-

age until the end of the year.

During the next Open Enrollment Period (OEP) in the fall, they can change their plan to another health insurance carrier.

“When news of Wellmark’s announcement broke, and then Aetna’s three days later, my first concern was for my

clients,” said Jeff Maki of Clemon Maki Insurance in Newton.

“I knew a lot of them would be worried that these changes applied to them. The main message is that it does not impact anyone with group coverage, a Medicare Supplement policy, or anyone who purchased their individual under-65 plans pri-

As of now, in 2018, there will only be two health insurance carriers in the ACA individual under-65 market in Iowa: Medica, which covers all 99 counties, and Gunderson, which offers coverage to individuals living in Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, Howard and

Winneshiek counties.

“If you are impacted by this change, it’s important to know that you have time,” said Maki.

“You can keep your current coverage until the end of the year. During the OEP in the fall, you should meet with your local insurance agent to find out what plan makes the most sense for you.”

Wellmark and Aetna are the latest in a number of health insurance carriers that have either pulled out of select counties or completely left the state due to significant financial losses in the ACA market.

Tigerhawk boys edge Raiders

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLO — Every stroke mattered for Colfax-Mingo and Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter during a three-team battle at Twin Anchors Golf Course on Tuesday.

Colo-NESCO ran away with the win, but the Raiders and Tigerhawks battled to the end for the second place position. In the end, CMB had the runner-up medalist, but Colfax-Mingo was two shots better in the team score.

Raider senior Caleb Van Zante shot a 40 to grab runner-up medalist honors.

Colfax-Mingo though had three golfers shoot better

than 50 and the Tigerhawk depth helped them to a two-shot advantage.

The Royals won the meet with a 171. Colfax-Mingo was the runner-up with a 189, and CMB shot a 191 in third.

Colo-NESCO’s Tyler Anthony won medalist honors with a 38.

Van Zante had scored three pars and shot a 40.

Colo-NESCO’s Evan Dodd was next with a 41, and Colfax-Mingo’s Ahren Teed and Colo-NESCO’s Jared Roberts both carded 43s in a tie for fourth.

Colfax-Mingo’s No. 2 and 3 behind Teed struggled with the tightness at Twin Anchors.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter senior Caleb Van Zante finished as the runner-up medalist with a 40 at Twin Anchors Golf Course on Tuesday evening. The Raiders finished third as a team, losing by two strokes to runner-up Colfax-Mingo.

Freshman Brady Berkey eagled the par 4 No. 4 but also had a 10 on a hole.

Berkey finished with a 50.

Junior Wyatt Smith had an even tougher day, carding a 56 following a round that included no pars and an 11 on the No. 9.

The Tigerhawks got a boost from their No. 3 and No. 4.

Sophomore Skyler Aikin carded a personal-best 47, and sophomore Nic Duffy’s 49 also was a personal-best score.

Tenth-ranked Cardinals turn back Grinnell Tigers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior forward Ryanne Rausch (2) was shadowed by Grinnell junior Sienna Durr, left, throughout Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference game at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Rausch got loose twice to score in the second half as Newton won 2-1.

Freshman Allie Norvell dribbled the ball to the left side of the goal and made the perfect pass to the middle to her Newton High teammate senior Ryanne Rausch.

Rausch shook off her shadow — Grinnell junior defender Sienna Durr — and planted the ball into the net.

The first goal of Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference soccer game between the Class 2A 10th-ranked Cardinals and visiting Grinnell came with 21 minutes, 45 second left in the contest. Newton held off the Tigers for a 2-1 victory.

The teams played a scoreless first half.

Rausch got loose from

Durr again at the 10:36 mark in the middle of the field in front of the goal. It was junior Anna Forsyth delivering the crossing pass into Rausch. Rausch kicked the ball past the Tigers’ goalkeeper Kate Cooper again.

The Tigers averted a shutout when junior Miya McAntire scored on a penalty kick with 3:43 remaining in the game. Newton senior defender Courtney Jacobsen ended the Tigers’ final attack when she took possession of the ball with 2:05 left.

“The girls really tried to work on their intentional shooting tonight, and getting the ball off their foot quickly,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said. “We were definitely the better

skilled and quicker team tonight.

“We just need to fine tune a few points and our entire game plan should be in place as we head into some tougher games.”

Rausch, who is Newton’s leading scorer and led Class 2A in scoring the past two seasons, was shadowed all over the field by Durr. Durr is 6-feet tall to Rausch’s 5-feet-6 inches, so Durr was able to win several of the balls in the air meant for Rausch.

Durr was moved to forward once Newton took a 2-0 lead, but wasn’t able to get any shots on goal. The Tigers did have several runs in each half, but the Cardinals held fast.

PCM boys win another team title at BGM

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BROOKLYN — During an interview earlier this season, Prairie City-Monroe junior Noah Anderson said the one goal a few of his Mustang teammates had in the early part of the track and field season was to qualify the 4x100-meter relay for the Drake Relays next week.

After running a season-best time Tuesday, Anderson and his teammates are sitting in a good position.

The foursome of senior Luke Greiner, sophomore Preston Van Wyk, sophomore Brayton Van Dyke and Anderson won the race in 45.05 seconds.

The Mustangs claimed five wins, five second-place finishes and three bronze-medal performances and those efforts pushed PCM to another team title. PCM won the meet with 131 points, edging Bondurant-Farrar by seven.

The 45.05 ran in the 4x100

by Greiner, Van Wyk, Van Dyke and Anderson is the 58th best time in the state so far. The top 80 times in the event qualify for the Drake Relays. PCM coach Collin Harrison said that time has been fast enough to advance in four of the last five seasons.

Finishing behind Bondurant-Farrar in third was East Marshall with 84 points.

Host BGM was fourth with 78, North Mahaska finished fifth with 58 and Belle Plaine and Pella Christian both scored 54.

Three of the other four wins for PCM came from senior Noah Clark in the discus, senior Chris Ellens in the 3,200 and sophomore Cole Dustin in the 110-meter high hurdles.

Clark’s best throw in the discus covered 135 feet, 4 inches.

Clark was third in the shot put with a career-best throw of 44-0 1/2.

second in the shot put with a personal-best toss of 44-2.

Ellens’ winning time in the two mile was clocked at 10:11.77. He was second in the 1,600 with a time of 4:44.57.

Dustin won the 110 high hurdles in 16.0. He also anchored the shuttle hurdle relay to a win.

That foursome of sophomores Jarron Trausch, Van Wyk, Nick Buswell and Dustin completed the race in a season-best time of 1:04.1.

Buswell gave the Mustangs a 1-3 finish in the 110 highs. He was third with a time of 18.2.

Anderson finished second in two individual events and anchored the 4x200 relay to a runner-up finish.

Anderson’s silver-medal performance in the 100 was clocked at 11.63 and his second-place finish in the 200 came in 24.17.

The 4x200 relay included Greiner, Van Wyk, sophomore Payton Strovers and Anderson and they finished in 1:37.31.

Greiner claimed the final top-three finish, placing third in the long jump with a personal-best leap of 19-11 1/2.

The Mustangs have one more meet before the Drake Relays cutoff date. PCM competes at 5 p.m. Thursday at South Hamilton.

Iowa and Iowa State announced Tuesday that their annual series has been extended through 2023, temporarily quelling fears that the matchup could be on the way out.

The Hawkeyes and Cyclones tacked two years onto a matchup that’s been contested every season since 1977.

The Hawkeyes lead the series 42-22.

There was concern that Iowa might want to put the series on pause now that the Big Ten has moved to a nine-game schedule. But the series between the instate rivals has been tight in recent years — save for Iowa’s 42-3 thrashing of the Cyclones in 2016 — and Iowa State’s facilities have improved to the point where a push for Big 12 relevance might not be far off.

Des Moines was a host site for the first time back in 2016. The success last year has brought the crown jewel of all college tournaments back to Central Iowa.

Kansas City’s Sprint Center will be a regional site in 2019, which means the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games will be less than four hours away.

The Final Four is less than five hours away in Minneapolis.

Omaha is 2020 site for NCAA events in hoops, volleyball OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha will host first- and second-round games in the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament and the Division I women’s volleyball final four in 2020.

The NCAA on Tuesday announced sites for Division I, II and III championship events for 2017-18 through 2021-22.

Omaha’s CenturyLink Center hosted early games in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in 2008, 2012 and 2015. The Midwest Regional will be played at the arena in 2018.

The volleyball final four comes to Omaha a fourth time. The city previously hosted the volleyball championships in 2006, 2008 and 2015.

Omaha will not get the men’s ice hockey Frozen Four in this cycle of championships. Though the University of Nebraska-Lincoln does not sponsor ice hockey, it submitted a bid to host the event at CenturyLink Center.

PCM girls golf wins again; CMB finishes 11th at West Marshall

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STATE CENTER — Prairie City-Monroe and Nevada were clearly the two best girls’ golf teams in the West Marshall Invitational at Lincoln Valley Golf Course on Tuesday.

The Mustangs and Cubs had six of the top seven golfers on the day, but senior Breanna Maher’s 18-hole school record round of 78 was far enough ahead of runner-up medalist Claire Ausman to send the Mustangs to a fourth straight win.

Maher and juniors Madeline Mitchell and Sabrina Reed

were all in the top seven for the Mustangs, and PCM won the tournament with an 18-hole school record score of 374.

Nevada claimed the second, fourth and fifth positions but was four strokes off the Mustangs in second.

“I am so proud of these girls,” PCM coach Val Edwards said. “They played very well today. These girls have set their goals high and are working to achieve them this season.”

BCLUW finished third with a 406 followed by South Hamilton (420), West Marshall (424), Grundy Center (425), South Hardin (429), East Marshall (443), AGWSR (451),

South Tama County (476) and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (483).

Maher’s round was consistent, shooting 39 in both the front and back nines.

Mitchell was five shots behind Ausman with a personal-best 90.

Reed carded 48s in both the front and back nines to finish seventh with a personal-best 96.

The final counting score came from junior Ellie Steenhoek, who shot a 110.

Sophomores Lexi Reed (117) and Mack Bussan (122) were the two non-counting scores.

CMB was led by junior Ab-

bie Ericson, who finished in a tie for 18th with a 105.

Junior Payton Cory shot a 120, freshman Sadie Meyer carded a 121 and sophomore Piper Larson had the final counting score with a 137.

Freshman Abbey Shepley had a non-counting score of 138.

Brewers slugger Eric Thames had two doubles and three hits but ended his franchise record-tying homer streak at five games.

Wade Davis got his third save and the bullpen retired 15 of its final 16 batters as the Cubs snapped a four-game skid.

The Brewers staked Jimmy Nelson to a 5-0 lead in the third, but the right-hander couldn’t make it hold, allowing seven runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. Reliever Jared Hughes (1-1) took the loss.

Brett Anderson pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed six runs and eight hits. Justin Grimm (1-0) worked a scoreless sixth for the win.

Thames set a Brewers record by getting a hit in his 12th straight start to begin the season.

The former Korean star has an extra-base hit in eight consecutive games.

Travis Shaw went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs for Milwaukee.

The Brewers led 3-0 after the first inning.

Thames doubled with one out and Ryan Braun singled to put runners on the corners.

Shaw followed with a run-scoring double, Domingo Santana drove in a run with a groundout and Manny Pina capped the rally with a run-scoring double.

The lead grew to 5-0 in the third inning when Shaw and Santana each drove in a run.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ve an important moment coming up. Practice to the point where the desired result is automatic. If this doesn’t seem to calm your nerves, don’t worry too much. The best training for getting over nerves is being nervous.

Tigers knock off No. 15 Cardinal boys

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — A lingering problem with his soccer team has Newton High boys’ head coach Zach Jensen stumped.

“We talk about being aggressive on the field at practices, before games, during games and after games,” Jensen said. “Again, tonight, we were not the more aggressive team in the game and we lost.”

The Class 2A 15thranked Cardinals dropped a 4-1 decision to host Grinnell’s Tigers Tuesday. The loss came in Little Hawkeye Conference play, putting the Cardinals at 1-2 in conference action. They are 4-3 overall.

Newton’s lone goal came in the first half on a penalty kick by senior Josh Ventling.

The Cardinals trailed 2-1 at halftime and the Tigers had two second-half goals.

“We didn’t win the 50-50 balls in the air. We allowed our opponent to dictate the pace of play,” Jensen said.

“I’ve told the guys something has to change.”

Jensen said the change may come in the starting lineup. He said there are players on the Cardinal

bench who want to get in and play.

“Two of the few players we have who play aggressively for us are Dalton Pauley and Josh Ventling.

We’ve played Dalton at five different spots this season and he continues to step up and play big for us,” Jensen said. “Josh puts the team on his back and does whatever

he can to help the team.”

Ethan Bailey had a hat trick — three goals — for the Tigers, who moved to 3-0 in LHC play and 5-3 overall. Isaac Comstock had the other goal.

Newton senior goalkeeper Reagan Maple was credited with 14 saves. Newton had four shots on goal and seven corner kick opportunities.

The Cardinals play at Marshalltown in non-conference action on Thursday.

The freshman game starts at 4:45 p.m. followed by the junior varsity game at 6 p.m. and the varsity contest at 7:30 p.m.
