Kids to Parks Day event planned for May 20

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To celebrate Kids to Parks Day on May 20, the Newton Parks Board discussed several activities that could take place in the parks at its Wednesday meeting.

The board agreed on a social media park scavenger hunt which would be a good way to get community members out in the parks, especially lesser known smaller neighborhood parks.

“I really like the social media idea,” board member Amanda Price said.

“We did something similar with a scavenger hunt

for the chamber.”

To participate, individuals need to go to six of the 12 parks selected, take their picture with the designated landmark and post them to the parks Facebook page. Those who complete the scavenger hunt will be in the running for a prize basket which may include passes to Maytag Pool or Westwood Golf Course among prizes.

The landmarks at the parks include: • The rabbit at Maytag Park • The sign at 30 Acre Park • The butterfly at Agnes Patterson Park

• The swing set at Dennison Knolls Park • The sign at Lincoln Park • The mural at Woodland Park • The zip line at Aurora Park • The tunnel at Callison Park • The monkey bars at Hillcrest Park • On a golf cart at Westwood Golf Course • The gazebo at Sersland Park Additional details about the event and prize will come at a later date.

Newton High School’s junior-senior prom is set for Saturday night. This year’s theme is Great Gatsby.

The dance will go from 8:45 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. at the high school.

After Prom, which is put on by the junior parents, starts at midnight and lets out at 3 a.m. After Prom activities, also held at the high school, will include a hypnotist and carnival games.

Prom walk-ins are scheduled for 8:45 p.m.

The public is invited to the walk-ins and is asked to park in the back southeast parking lot and enter through the southeast doors of the school, leaving the front parking for the prom-goers.

The junior class will decorate the lower gym. A public viewing of the decorations will be available along with a freewill donation starting at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The NHS prom committee, which was formed by the junior class, chose the Great Gatsby theme.

Students planning on attending the dance must be in the building by 10:30 p.m. For After Prom, the doors to get in will close at 12:30 a.m. Once a student leaves, there is no re-entry.

He said the most difficult part of the decision-making process was leaving behind the kids and staff he has built relationships with over the years.

Leaving the community was also not an easy choice to make for the Newton High School graduate.

“I grew up here in Newton. Newton has been and always will be home for me,” Bartello said. “But one of the things I’m excited about with that is getting to take a piece of Newton with me where I go.”

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | April 20, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Thursday, April 20, the 110th day of 2017. There are 255 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On April 20, 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Wooley v. Maynard, ruled 6-3 that car owners could refuse to display state mottoes on license plates, such as New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die.” The Woody Allen comedy “Annie Hall,” co-starring Diane Keaton in the title role, went into general release.

On this date: In 1861, Col. Robert E. Lee resigned his commission in the United States Army.

(Lee went on to command the Army of Northern Virginia, and eventually became general-in-chief of the Confederate forces.)

In 1889, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria.

In 1912, Boston’s Fenway Park hosted its first professional baseball game while Navin Field (Tiger Stadium) opened in Detroit.

In 1914, the Ludlow Massacre took place when the Colorado National Guard opened fire on a tent colony of striking miners; about 20 (accounts vary) strikers, women and children died.

In 1916, the Chicago Cubs played their first game at Wrigley Field (then known as Weeghman Park) In 1972, Apollo 16’s lunar module, carrying astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke Jr., landed on the moon.

In 1987, the United States deported Karl Linnas to the Soviet Union, where he had been convicted in absentia of Nazi war crimes and faced a death sentence.

In 1999, the Columbine High School massacre took place in Colorado as two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot and killed 12 classmates and one teacher before taking their own lives.

In 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, leased by BP, killed 11 workers and caused a blow-out that began spewing an estimated 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico.

Ten years ago: The family of Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho (sung-wee joh), who shot and killed 32 people and himself, told The Associated Press they felt “hopeless, helpless and lost,” and “never could have envisioned that he was capable of so much violence.”

Five years ago: A judge ruled that George Zimmerman could be released on $150,000 bail while he awaited trial on a charge of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a Feb. 2012 confrontation in a Sanford, Florida gated community.

(Zimmerman was acquitted.) In Pakistan, a Bhoja Air Boeing 737-200 crashed while on approach to the main airport in Islamabad, killing all 127 people on board.

One year ago: Five former New Orleans police officers pleaded guilty to lesser charges in the deadly shootings on the Danziger Bridge in the days following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced that Harriet Tubman, an African-American abolitionist born into slavery, would be the new face on the $20 bill, replacing President Andrew Jackson.

That’s Odd Cowbells banned in arena after some thrown ERIE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania arena has decided it really needs less cowbell.

The Erie Times-News reports that the operator of the Erie Insurance Arena is banning the noisemakers.

Fans clanged cowbells throughout the Erie Otters’ playoff game Tuesday. And some fans threw them onto the ice as the Otters celebrated a win that sent them to the League’s Western Conference finals.

The Otters had provided cowbells to fans as a giveaway and sold them as part of its merchandise line, but spokesman Aaron Cooney said the team agrees with the ban and will no longer sell the items.

Entertainment Love game for Serena: Spox says Williams is pregnant Tennis star won 23rd Grand Slam in January while pregnant It’s another love game for Serena Williams: She is pregnant — and, based on the timeline she offered, she already was when she won the Australian Open.

A spokeswoman for Williams, Kelly Bush Novak, wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday: “I’m happy to confirm Serena is expecting a baby this Fall.”

Earlier in the day, Williams posted a photo of herself on Snapchat with the caption “20 weeks,” sparking all sorts of speculation on social media about whether she was, indeed, with child.

The 35-year-old Williams won her 23rd Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open in January — a little less than 12 weeks ago. She has not competed since, citing a knee injury when

withdrawing from tournaments at Indian Wells, Calif., and Key Biscayne, Fla. She announced in late December that she was engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

Williams would appear to be out for the rest of this tennis season, a blow to a sport in which she is an unqualified star — and, of course, something that makes major titles easier to come by for other competitors. The

next major tournament is the French Open, which starts on May 28. Wimbledon begins in early July, and the U.S. Open in late August.

There is recent precedent for tennis players to return to action after becoming a mother. Kim Clijsters retired briefly to start a family, then came back to action and won Grand Slam titles. Another former No. 1 and major champion, Victoria Azarenka, has announced she’ll be getting back on tour soon after having a baby.

Williams’ 23 Grand Slam singles titles are a record for the Open era, which began in 1968 — she broke a tie with Steffi Graf in Australia. Only one woman has won more: Margaret Smith Court, who claimed part of her 24 during the amateur era.

Local & State News Parks Continued from Page 1A efforts for the Fourth of July fireworks display and activities. Parks administrative superintendent Nathan Unsworth said the city recently received $1,000 from Black Hills Energy but the event is still short of the $10,000 needed to make it happen.

To help raise funds, the board is selling “fireworks” at Hy-Vee for $1 and plans to place donation buckets at area businesses in the coming weeks. Price also shared the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, of which Price is the executive director, will be working with the parks department for Fourth of July activities following the parade and prior to the fireworks.

“The chamber, instead of hav-

Bartello Continued from Page 1A opportunity for the administrator, and he couldn’t pass it up.

“I enjoy trying new things, and I enjoy new experiences,” he said. “I think I am most excited to continue serving as an administrator, but getting to experience how another district functions, what they set for priorities and goals, and how they work to meet the needs of kids and their demographics.”

Bartello said Newton has given him a great foundation to build from. He has been involved in making district-level decisions, working with parents on communication and working with Thomas Jefferson to improve student achievement. All these skills will help moving forward, as he faces new challenges.

“Johnston is a bigger school

ing a massive amount of activities up on the square after the parade, we are going to move all of our normal kids and family activities out to the parks,” Price said. “We kind of felt like we were competing with the parks and that was silly, especially since we were trying to do the same thing.”

The board was also given an update of staffing changes as Unsworth departs his position on Friday. Public Works Director Keith Laube said Nick Cummins, Greens Superintendent at Westwood Golf Course, will take over running the crews at both the golf course and in the parks division as the summer season begins.

“We have seasonal staff that have been here two, three, four some up to 15 to 20 years,” Laube said. “They know what they are doing. Everybody just has to step up a little bit.”

The meeting concluded with farewell wishes for Unsworth, who is leaving to become the director of Lee County Conservation.

“Thank you for every single thing you have done since you have been here,” Price said. “You will truly be missed. You definitely left Newton a better place than when you got here.”

Unsworth also took a moment to express his thanks to the board during his final meeting.

“I would just like to say thank you all for everything that we got to do together the past few years.

This group right here is one of my favorite parts of this job,” Unsworth said. “It’s been really fun to work with you all and really do some great things.”

district,” he said. “I think the biggest initial challenge is going to be getting familiar with a new culture and new stakeholders and getting an idea of what are their needs, and how can I, as the building leader, come in and support those needs.”

Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan said it’s a great move for Bartello and his family.

“He’s been a great asset to our community and schools and our students,” Callaghan said. “For him personally, this is just a great opportunity.”

NCSD is in the process of finding Bartello’s replacement.

The district accepted internal applicants and applications from outside candidates. A group of committees will begin the interview process as quickly as possible.

The district’s goal, Callaghan said, is to recommend a candidate for Thomas Jefferson princi-

pal by the May 22 school board meeting, if not sooner.

Bartello said his time in Newton has been awesome. He thanked his staff and the community for their hard work. The principal said the most rewarding part of his job is at the student level, seeing kids excited about learning.

“I think it’s building those positive relationships with kids,” Bartello said. “That’s why I got into education in the first place, and it’s still by far my favorite part.”

Although his time at Thomas Jefferson is winding down, Bartello said NCSD is heading in some good directions.

“I’m excited to see where Newton goes in the future, and I do plan on continuing to check in,” he said.

When officers spoke with Hansen, he allegedly denied being at the park and said the victim had messaged him on Facebook, and they made plans to meet, but he never showed up.

When officers found a wrinkled-up white T-shirt in the back of Hansen’s vehicle, he refused to speak any further with law enforcement, according to a police report.

Grandma’s red barn M

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

any thoughts go through my head when I hear about any “old red barn.” A Google search brings up several poems, short stories and even a jaunty tune played on the violin about an “Ol’ Red Barn.”

A few months ago, we ran a story in our Senior Lifestyles section about a Prairie City woman who published a book, “Hayropes & Hinges,” which was based on a poem she wrote entitled, “The Old Red Barn.” It was wonderful to read the stories and hear about how the barn still stands after 70 years, though now it sits empty. Its days of usefulness gone with the new technology that farmers now enjoy. I was sad to learn of her passing, but I was thankful we were able to tell her story.

Many people immortalize these

structures, but for me there will only be one true “old red barn” — the one I used to play in as a child at my grandma’s farmhouse.

I remember playing in the hay bales that seemed to go up to the ceiling at times. We used to climb up the old hay elevator to get to the barn loft to play with my siblings and cousins. You were only cool if you could jump for the loft edge to the stacks of bales. It honestly wasn’t that far, but to a kid, it was an amazing feat.

By a stroke of luck, there is video evidence of the Bushong cousins playing in the barn. It was sometime in the early 1990s, and my dad brought his video camcorder to capture events of the day.

You know those big, bulky devices that you put a VHS tape in, prop it on your shoulder and record away. I’ll be forever

grateful that he brought it. It’s the best memory ever.

It’s hard to hear everything that was going on, but there was some mention of princesses and you can see my cousin Lucas grab an ice cream bucket and head off to collect who knows what.

There was no hay bale leaping in the video, but I swear we all did it.

As all of us cousins grew up, play time in the barn decreased more and more, to the point I can’t remember the last time I set foot in the memorable structure. I helped paint the west side of the barn in my junior high years, but I don’t think I actually went inside the playhouse of my childhood again. I took for granted the building would always be there.

I drove past it without a thought in my teen years and thought of it even less in my college and adult years.

Unfortunately, the barn is no longer there. A windstorm a few years ago damaged it beyond repair. There was no other choice but to bring it down.

It was a sad day when that happened.

Unlike other old barns, my cousin and uncle still used it to raise cattle. So in its place now sits a new metal building, but to me, it will never hold the same charm and appeal as that old red barn.

Grandma was so disappointed when her barn was damaged. I think she would have picked any other building on the property to go ... well perhaps not the house. She still expresses disdain every time we drive past the neighbor’s raggedy old barn and how she wishes the storm took it instead of hers.

This past weekend as I spent my traditional Easter Sunday at Grandma’s house, it was hard not to still look for the barn that is so ingrained in my memory. It’s not the only thing that is different about the farm, but to me it is the most significant.

The old red barn stands mighty in my memory, I only wish I could turn back time and walk through it one last time.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Giant silkworm moth

Big news on the Empty Nest Farm! This February, during one of our warm spells, I found what appeared to be a leafy cocoon or chrysalis under our maple tree. It was about as large as my thumb, and seemed to have two twigs poking out of one end.

When I picked it up, I could feel movement inside.

I laid it down on the picnic table in the unusually warm winter sun, reminiscent of Indian Summer, and sure enough, it bounced around like a Mexican Jumping Bean.

I carried it into the house and hollered for Ginnie to, “Quick, come see!”

She came running. I had the thing lying on the kitchen counter. “Eww,” she said. “What is it? I don’t think I want that thing in my house.”

By this time it had lost its movement. I wondered if I had harmed it by bringing it in.

I took a picture of the thing and posted it on Facebook, asking, “Does anyone know what this is?”

I got a lot of response, most of it tongue-in-cheek. A friend from California suggested that I put it in a jar, with holes in the lid, and wait to see what happens.

Well, I did. I set it in Ginnie’s garage, on the barbecue grill, where we would see it every time we passed by. “I think that thing is dead,” Ginnie kept reminding me. I thought so, too. But what the heck?

It wasn’t bothering anything, and it wasn’t stinking.

Yet. Lo-and-behold, on April 12, Ginnie was getting in her car to go to town for groceries. This would be her first attempt at driving since her hip-replacement surgery, and her first trip to the grocery store by herself. (I have finally convinced her that’s it’s OK to use the motorized carts.) I checked to make sure she had her cell phone so that she could call in case of problems, or if she couldn’t remember whether we needed milk or not. I waved goodbye and, as I was going back in the house, I saw movement in the jar.

Holy moley, guacamole! The critter was out of its shell and thrashing around. It had a huge abdomen, once again about as big as my thumb, and absurdly tiny wings, like a cartoon bug. I text Ginnie, “It hatched!”

I grabbed a box, dumped the critter into it, and covered the box with plastic wrap. Then, before my eyes, I watched a miracle of spring unfold.

Those tiny little wings grew into huge, beautiful sails, with an eye spot on each. Praise God! I hadn’t seen anything like this since the birth of my kids. I was reminded of the proverb, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”

Ginnie came home, and we took it’s picture.

Once again, I posted it on Facebook. This time, my California friend’s wife identified it as a giant silkworm moth, stating, “The feathery antennae indicates that it’s a male. They use the antennae to ‘smell’ for a female. I’m so jealous!!!”

We turned Silky loose in the flower garden before Buddy could glump him down. With Silky’s freedom, hopefully, will come survival. Although, according to Wikipedia, the male seeks a mate and dies within a couple of hours. Also, that cocoon or chrysalis, is built in tree branches (thus, the twigs sticking out of the end). The “eye” on the wing is for startling a would-be predator into “thinking” it’s an owl. The caterpillar can spend its entire life in the tree and can consume “86,000 times its weight in a little less than two months.” Move over Miss Piggy!

The next morning, as I let Buddy out and retrieved the morning newspaper, I looked to see if Silky was still around. Nope. A nearly full moon winked its eye. Maybe Silky found his bride.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

More flexibility for our schools There is less than a week left for our scheduled end of this legislative session. The 100th day of the legislative session was Tuesday and was the last day legislators (and our clerks) get paid for this session. While we are still working hard to be done by this day, we have much left to do on the budget for the next fiscal year.

The coming days will be busy as we finalize our budgets for the next year and other priority bills the legislature is still considering.

As we go through this process, please feel free to email me with any questions or feedback you have on the bills we’re discussing.

I am proud to be your representative at the Capitol and hope you will continue to contact me with your thoughts and opinions as we move towards adjournment.

Last week, the Senate debated House File 564 regarding school funding flexibility. The bill provides new allowable uses for specific funding received by school districts and requires the Board of Education to give deference to school boards when the Board of Education adopts rules. It lifts restrictions previously put on a series of funds for education, giving more local control to our

State View Sen. Amy Sinclair schools and letting them decide better ways to use their funding.

The bill applies to funding related to professional development, at-risk/dropout prevention, preschool and student activities.

It permits the purchase of textbooks and curriculum materials from the professional development fund, if they include professional development as part of the cost and allows for preschool funding to be used forage-specific playground equipment and translation services for preschool students.

The Senate also debated House File 565, another bill giving more flexibility to our schools. The bill allows for the creation of a Flexibility Account within the General Fund of each school district to collect unexpended and unobligated funds from a few different sources of categorical funding. This also allows the district to use those funds for purposes of the original source

or other general fund purposes. The account, as a part of the school district’s General Fund, would consist of unused funds from the Home School Assistance Program, preschool funds and professional development funds. Those funds could then be used for preschool programming, professional development purposes, Home School Assistance Program purposes, at-risk/dropout prevention programming,Talented and Gifted programming or other general fund purposes.

Both HF 564 and HF565 passed the Senate unanimously.

These bills are great step forward to give our schools more control over the dollars we send them and how they are spent in our school districts.

Monitoring Devices in Certain Public Places Recently, Iowa Senate Republicans addressed a growing concern for Iowans regarding the protection of privacy in public spaces. Senate File 499 was introduced as a measure to remove and ban cameras and monitoring devices in certain public spaces where there is a clear expectation of privacy.

YOUR VIEW

Easter reminds us of our gifts How about a switch in my writing? Always in the past, it has been on topics that to me were going wrong. I didn’t have to hunt long, our country has degraded from its once proud ways.

Jesus had trouble in his day, too.

It seems we humans have a hard time to pick out the quality good times of the world. So in my

mind, that is why God managed Easter to remind us of the quality of life he has provided us with his death and resurrection. If we accept.

This is why we have 10 commandments. And the gift of guidance for which we celebrate on Easter Sunday to give thanks for creating a better world. The better world is presented to all who live a Christian life.

Ex-wife’s anger at her friend’s betrayal spills over to daughter DEAR ABBY: My ex-husband had an affair with a woman who was one of my dearest friends. My heart is broken; my marriage is over. I have lost my home and my friend. It has been a struggle for me to recover.

My daughter, with whom I am very close, continues to have a relationship with this woman. While I know it’s not my place to tell her who to be friends with (she’s 22), I can’t help but feel betrayed.

My daughter is pregnant, and this woman seems to be attempting to play mother and push her way into every detail of my daughter’s pregnancy. It’s extremely upsetting to me to have to share one more thing with her. She already took my home and husband; I would like to keep my daughter and grandbaby. What to do? — THE REAL GRANDMA-TO-BE DEAR REAL GRANDMA: Although you cannot cut this woman completely out of your life because she is now with your ex, calmly discuss this with your daughter. She may have reasons that you are unaware of for wanting to include the woman to the extent that she has.

DEAR ABBY: We need help with our dad. Many of his grandchildren participate in sports. For some reason, he thinks it’s perfectly fine to sit in the stands surrounded by people he doesn’t know and loudly criticize the other players.

We talk to him before the games.

We remind him that he’s sitting by these players’ parents and what he’s doing is not cool. Some of the parents become quite emotional if things don’t go well and Dad doesn’t need to be doing this. Yet he continues.

Have you any ideas on getting Grandpa to keep his opinions to himself? We don’t want to ban him from games and treat him like a 5-year-old who can’t behave, since he is still able to

travel to see us for these visits. We try to sit away from others, but it’s not always possible. — EMBARRASSED IN HOUSTON DEAR EMBARRASSED: You already know the answer to your problem, and I do not understand why you haven’t taken action. Was your father always this way, or has he become demented? When an adult acts like a 5-year-old and behaves inappropriately after having been cautioned against it, there is cause for concern.

If he is unable to control his behavior at those games, instead of being allowed to ruin them for everyone within earshot, he should ABSOLUTELY be banned from attending. If you won’t do it for the sake of the players and other parents, then do it for your father’s safety because one of these days, an irate parent or relative may punch his lights out.

DEAR ABBY: My niece was married by a justice of the peace in October. She and her husband are having a church wedding this summer. What would be the proper date to recognize on a gift? — DONNA IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR DONNA: If you are having the wedding gift engraved, you should ask your niece which date she and her husband would prefer.

National Weather Service meteorologist Craig Cogil says the twister was spotted around 8 p.m. Wednesday about two miles southwest of Carroll. Quarter-size hail soon was reported in Glidden, and power outages were reported after lines were downed near Halbur. Cogil says power poles also were toppled near Randall in Hamilton County.

Board again delays vote on changing school starting times DES MOINES (AP) — Des Moines public schools won’t alter school start times for the coming academic year because of a delayed vote by the school board.

The board decided Tuesday to wait for a plan that addresses concerns raised by parents and staff at Smouse and Van Meter schools, which serve students with disabilities. The delay was the second in two weeks.

Under the proposal, elementary schools would begin at 7:50 a.m., roughly 30 minutes to an hour earlier.

Middle schools would start at 8:35 a.m., which is 50 minutes later than they start now, and high

schools would start at 8:30 a.m., also 50 minutes later. Smouse and Van Meter schools would begin at 9 a.m., about 45 minutes later.

About 250 students attend Smouse and Van Meter schools. About 20 teachers, parents and students from the schools attended Tuesday’s meeting to protest a later start time, which they said affects after-school therapy or tutoring schedules.

“I have to pause and reflect on my purpose being here and how I utilize my voice, and my influence to represent everyone. Not just the majority, but everyone,” said school board chair Teree Cald-

well-Johnson.

“That’s the challenge we are faced with right now.”

Officials say research shows the later starting times would better align with teenagers’ natural sleep schedules.

Louisa Dykstra, a parent, said she supports the switch because of the benefit to disadvantaged students from lower-income, minority or immigrant backgrounds.

“We have to do what’s best for the other 32,800 students,” Dykstra said.

“I was disappointed that they didn’t show more leadership.”

The board could revisit a decision this fall, but any changes wouldn’t be made until the 2018-19 school year.

Ex-spokeswoman sues Iowa Board of Regents over layoff, pay IOWA CITY (AP) — A longtime spokeswoman for the Iowa Board of Regents alleges in a lawsuit that the decision to eliminate her job two years ago was motivated by age and gender discrimination.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday

by Sheila Koppin, also alleges unequal pay based on gender because her duties were absorbed by two newly hired men, including one who was given a salary $24,000 higher than what she earned in her 29th year.

The lawsuit also accuses the board’s executive director, Robert Donley, of “neg-

ligent misrepresentation” for allegedly dodging questions for months about whether her job was likely to be eliminated during a reorganization. It says she needed the information so she could evaluate whether to take an early retirement package the board offered, which she declined before being let go weeks later.

A board spokesman declined comment on the lawsuit, which seeks damages for lost pay and benefits.

The board eliminated Koppin’s job as communications director on June 30, 2015, saying her duties could

be absorbed by others. The move came two weeks after the board hired Josh Lehman into a newly created position as “senior communications director” at a $100,000 salary.

Koppin was 53 and had been with the board, which governs the state’s public universities, since 1986. She made $76,000.

Months later, the board hired Brock Ascher into a newly created electronic media assistant position. The lawsuit alleges that it took those two men “to do the same communications work Koppin satisfactorily performed for over 10 years.”

Koppin first asked Donley about her job’s future after he informed her in January 2015 of his plan to create the senior communications director position, which was aimed at improving the board’s relationship with the news media, the lawsuit says. He told her that it would be evaluated once someone was hired.

In the spring, Koppin again asked Donley about her future as she considered whether to apply for the early retirement program that would have made her eligible for additional health and retirement benefits. He dodged her inquiries,

the lawsuit says.

The board’s then-general counsel, Thomas Evans, told Koppin that if her job were eliminated in a reorganization, she would be entitled to 90 days’ notice. In fact, the board eliminated Evans’ job on June 5, 2015, after he declined the early retirement and he received the 90-day notice and pay, the suit says.

But it says Donley informed Koppin on June 26, 2015, that her job would be eliminated four days later and that she didn’t qualify for the 90-day notice because it wasn’t a reorganization.

Iowa Legislature OKs most Second Iowa teen arrested in Madison County bridge fire budget bills as adjournment nears DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Legislature has approved most bills needed to finalize the roughly $7.2 billion state budget, an indication that adjournment is near for the session.

The Republican-controlled chambers have voted in support of several budget bills over the span of days

The Salvation Army Thri Store Find a bargain and support Salvation Army programs in Jasper County.

that address spending on everything from education to economic development.

Lawmakers are scheduled back at the Capitol on Thursday, though it’s unclear what day they will finish work.

The Senate must still vote on funding for health and human services. Both chambers must finalize the

so-called standing appropriation bill, which includes state spending for a variety of purposes across several state agencies. It is often the last bill passed in the session and attracts last-minute and sometimes controversial proposals that lawmakers hope to tack on before adjournment.

WINTERSET (AP) — Authorities say a second teenager has been arrested in connection with a fire that destroyed an iconic covered bridge featured in the best-selling novel “The Bridges of Madison County.”

Madison County Sheriff Jason Barnes tells Des Moines television station KCCI that an 18-year-old man from Norwalk has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree arson for the fire that destroyed the Cedar Bridge near Winterset.

On Tuesday, officials announced charges against a 17-year-old boy.

The Madison County Sheriff ’s Office believes the fire that burned the covered bridge was set early Saturday morning.

The bridge was also featured in the 1995 movie adaptation of “The Bridges of Madison County,” starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. The novel was written by Robert James Waller, who died in March.

Treasurer Fitzgerald announces deadline to apply for Robert D. Blue Scholarship draws near Newton Daily News DES MOINES — State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald reminds students the deadline to apply for a Robert D. Blue Scholarship is drawing near. Applications must be submitted online at RDBlue.org by May 10 in order to be eligible for this year’s

Fitzgerald

award.

“Over the years we’ve helped hundreds of Iowa students meet their college costs with this scholarship,” Fitzgerald stated.

“Awards

The Robert D. Blue Scholarship is awarded by the Iowa Centennial Memorial Foundation to honor Iowa students attending college in Iowa. The

Foundation was created in 1949 to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Iowa’s acceptance into the union. Governor Blue wished to encourage the youth of the state to continue their education at one of Iowa’s fine institutions of higher learning. In 1990, the Foundation officially named the scholarship to

honor the late Governor Blue.

Gragson ready to return to Iowa Speedway NCWTS rookie drivers run two-day testing at Iowa Speedway

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Bumps, patches and all — Noah Gragson loves to race at Iowa Speedway. The 18-yearold Las Vegas native was in Newton Monday and Tuesday as five NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie drivers did testing at the 7/8mile track.

Gragson admitted the track feels different when he is driving the No. 18 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota Tundra truck then when he drove his K&N Pro Series car at Iowa the past two years. He learned how the trucks handle on the Fastest Short Track on the Planet.

“This track is just phenomenal. The design of it allows for a lot of speed which makes for fun racing from the driver’s standpoint and allows for one heck of show,” Gragson said.

“In the K&N cars, we complained about the big tunnel bump between turns 1 and 2. I really felt it in the car but with the truck I hardly noticed it.

There are a couple patches between turns 3 and 4 now, which bothered me during the testing.”

Gragson was the highest rookie in the standings to test at Iowa. He sits 11th in the driver standings after three races. He recorded a topfive finish in the April 1 race at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Va. Drivers are allowed to conduct testing at two tracks a season. Joining Gragson were four other NCWTS rookie drivers and their teams for the two-day testing at Iowa Speedway. It was originally scheduled for Tuesday and

Wednesday, but NASCAR moved it up to Monday and Tuesday because of the weather forecast.

The teams had a perfect day of testing on Monday. The rain moved in Tuesday late in the morning, halting any ontrack activity. The teams — Kyle Busch Motorsports, Brad Keselowski Racing and GMS Racing — packed up and left by noon.

Gragson and his Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates Todd Gilliland and Harrison Burton along with Austin Cindric of BKR and Justin Haley of GMS Racing took turns on the track gathering information. Chase Briscoe, who drives for BKR and is seventh in the NCWTS standings, was on hand but only to observe.

All six drivers are expected to compete in Iowa Speedway’s NCWTS Iowa 200 on June 23.

“There’s a learning curve going from the K&N cars to the trucks. They handle differently, and with a lot more downforce and side force, you can run faster speeds with the trucks,” Gragson said.

He said he remembered seeing current teammate Christopher Bell run at the top side of Iowa track during Gragson’s first K&N race in 2015. Gragson said he tried doing the same.

“I really liked running up at the top. In the second K&N race here in 2015, I went straight to the top. I quickly passed cars working my way up through the field,” Gragson said.

Gragson finished second in the K&N Pro Series West driver standings in 2016. He was a member of the 2016

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Noah Gragson is excited about returning to Iowa Speedway in June in his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie season. He has raced three times at Iowa in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series.

After three races, the 18-year-old Gragson is 11th in the 2017 NSWTS driver standings.

NASCAR Next, a NASCAR initiative spotlighting the industry’s rising stars.

“Being a part of the NASCAR Next group was a cool experience. Off the race track, we are friends and had a lot of fun with it,” Gragson said.

“The program helped me the most with off-the-track aspects including brand recognition, interviews and interacting with fans.”

Gragson said growing up in Las Vegas racing wasn’t on his radar. He played other sports such as basketball, lacrosse, and football.

“Racing’s not very popular there. On the east coast, guys grow up around racing, but I didn’t. When I was 13, I decided to try driving the Ban-

doleros at the Bullring in Las Vegas Motor Speedway. That’s where Kyle and Kurt Busch raced. My first test drive, I got out of the car and was smiling ear to ear. I loved it.”

Working up through the ranks and racing two years in the K&N Pro Series, Kyle Busch Motorsports came knocking at Gragson’s door. He was offered a full-time ride in the NCWTS. “I toured Kyle Busch Motorsports as a young fan and aspiring driver in awe of the massive trophy collection, how immaculate the shop was,” Gragson said. “Now, I’m standing on the floor where the trucks are prepared. I’m thankful for the opportunity Kyle and Samantha Busch

have given me.”

The NCWTS drivers are at Kansas Speedway for their fourth race of the season on May 12.

“I’ve only been to five tracks with the trucks so I can’t really compare tracks. But I really like this place. Testing here was so much fun,” Gragson said. “There’s just something about it which bears out why it’s called the Fastest Short Track on the Planet. The atmosphere is tremendous with great fans. I’m looking forward to coming back in June, I want to get to the top of the track and see how it goes.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Harrison Burton drives the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota Tundra truck down into Iowa Speedway’s Turn 3 off the backstretch in a Tuesday morning testing run.

Cy-Hawk football game alive for now C

olin Cowherd is at it again. I don’t watch his television show on FS1, and his radio show is no longer available in the Des Moines area market Cowherd still finds a way to fire up Hawkeye fans.

For better of worse, he likes the attention he’s getting, and he’ll keep making outlandish comments as long as fans let it bother them.

I get his criticism. Iowa doesn’t play the toughest non-conference schedule in the country. But does it really matter?

If Iowa had beaten Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game two seasons ago, the Hawkeyes would have been in the College Football Playoff. An undefeated Power 5 conference school will never get left out of

This & That Troy Hyde the playoff unless there are more than four undefeated teams. That’s a fact.

The Hawkeyes don’t need to ramp up their schedule. They are not playing bad in bowl games because of who they play in September. Thinking that way is silly.

Cowherd’s comments did trigger an instate discussion though. Should Iowa dump its annual game with Iowa State to improve its national perception?

According to the two universities, that answer is a no. Both programs added two years to the current CyHawk football contract, keeping the game safe through 2023.

It becomes tricky after that. The new television deals start in 2024. The current grant of rights deal expires, too. That means television could play a bigger role in who plays who.

The Cy-Hawk football game is fun

for the fans for the most part. I’m sure it’s stressful for everyone, too. No one likes losing that game because the losing fan base has to deal with the winning fan base at least until basketball season.

Both teams could benefit from dropping the game.

For Iowa, beating Iowa State does nothing for the program on the national scale. Losing to the Cyclones, like they have done in nine of the past 18 seasons, is essentially crippling. Especially when Iowa State goes on to win three games like in its most recent seasons.

For Iowa State, the goal right now is to get to six wins. Dropping Iowa and scheduling a home cupcake would give the Cyclones an easier road to six.

The best thing to fix Iowa’s perception is for the Cyclones to improve under Matt Campbell.

Iowa may have to adjust who it plays because of the Big Ten’s decision to play nine conference games.

Nine Big Ten games gives Iowa only three non-conference selections. And the university administrators have said they must have seven home games per

season to fund the rest of the athletic department.

So, it would appear, that if the school wants to schedule tougher opponents, they may do that at the expense of Iowa State eventually.

It’s not something I’d be in favor of, but I would understand it.

The Hawkeyes play for conference titles and bowl games first and foremost. They don’t care how they get to those bowls. Wins are wins to them whether it’s Middle Tennessee State or Notre Dame.

Iowa has scheduled tougher than Cowherd gives it credit for. The year the Hawkeyes went 12-0, they played two Power 5 schools in Pittsburgh and Iowa State. Iowa has played two different home and home series’ with the Panthers during Kirk Ferentz’s tenure.

Not every season is cupcake city like Cowherd suggests.

Iowa is not playing a top 10 school in the non-conference season every year, but playing multiple Power 5 programs should be good enough.

Iowa administrator testifies fired coaches often gay DES MOINES (AP) — A former University of Iowa athletic administrator said We d n e s d a y that during her tenure she became concerned after noticing that female coaches who were fired were often gay and had become more Meyer open about their sexuality.

Jane Meyer testified about Iowa coaches as her case continued in Des Moines, where jurors are considering her claim that she suffered workplace discrimination as a gay woman in a relationship with a Hawkeye coach.

Meyer alleges in a lawsuit the school also retaliated against her and paid her less than another deputy athletic director for similar work.

Meyer is seeking damages

for pay and emotional distress.

Attorneys for Meyer said she was on pace to lead a Division I college program until she was unfairly transferred and later laid off.

Meyer testified she felt she’d been “tucked away” when decisions on retaining women’s coaches were made and that at times, subpar facilities kept coaches from succeeding.

Meyer also said she felt slighted in 2011 when athletic director Gary Barta chose not to have her — the second-highest ranking member of the Hawkeyes athletic department — address the media when a highly publicized rhabdomyolysis outbreak sent 13 Iowa football players to the hospital.

Because coach Kirk Ferentz and Barta were out of town, Barta chose an assistant coach and a father of one of the affected players to take questions from reporters.

Meyer also pointed to years

of “outstanding reviews” by both Barta and his predecessor, current Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, as proof of her abilities as an athletics administrator.

She noted that a 2006 review by Bowlsby described Meyer as “more than ready to move into the director’s chair,” and that she was named that year the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s administrator of the year after being nominated by Iowa coach Lisa Bluder.

Meyer claimed she was involved in roughly $350 million worth of facility work in her time with Iowa and that her efforts saved the school roughly $17 million.

Meyer’s difficulties with Barta began in 2014, when he fired field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum over complaints about her treatment of some players.

Many players and fans protested the decision, and Gries-

baum argued 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.

Meyer worked as a university construction manager until being laid off last year when that position was eliminated.

Meyer also said that Barta told her she wouldn’t be considered for a deputy role when he reorganized the department a few years ago, saying Barta told her that he “wanted someone who could better represent him.”

Meyer’s testimony will continue Thursday, when the University of Iowa’s lawyers are set to cross-examine her.

Barta is expected to begin his testimony Thursday afternoon.

CMB boys finish fourth in tight field at Ballard

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News HUXLEY — There were six teams in the large-school division of the Ballard Classic Relays on Tuesday. The top five were separated in the team standings by 24 points.

In the end, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ track and field team finished fourth with 105 points. The Raiders were highlighted by a 1-2 finish in the shot put. They also had three runner-up finishes and four bronze-medal performances.

Roland-Story won the team title with 125 points. North Polk scored 112 in second, South Hamilton had 110 in third and BCLUW had 101 points in fifth. The Gilbert JV scored 30 points to complete the six-team field.

Like they have done so much this season, sophomore Will Clapper and senior Brady Kemp finished 1-2 in the shot put. This time, Clapper grabbed the gold with a career-best throw of 53 feet, 2 inches. Kemp earned the silver with a toss of 50-10.

Clapper’s toss moved him to 18th in the state, which is above the cutoff line for next week’s Drake Relays. Thursday

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Will Clapper helped the Raider boys’ track and field team to double points in the shot put and discus at the Ballard Classic Relays on Tuesday. Clapper won the shot put and placed fourth in the discus.

is the final day to qualify for the annual event. Kemp’s best throw this season ranks 29th, which sits five spots off the cutoff line.

Kemp had three silver medals on the night. He finished second in the discus with a throw of 122-5. Clapper was fourth with a throw of 119-4.

Kemp was part of the second-place 4x200-meter relay team. That foursome included senior John Newton, junior Braydon Aker, Kemp and senior Jason Hillgren finished in a season-best time of 1 minute, 39.99 seconds.

The final second-place finish came in the shuttle hurdle relay.

The foursome of junior Joe Keeling, junior Brady Gielenfeldt, freshman Brett Livesay and senior Ben Gunderson finished in 1:07.03.

CMB scored double points in five individual events. Aside from the shot put and discus, the Raiders also tied for third in the high jump, finished 3-5 in the 110 high hurdles and went 4-6 in the 400 hurdles.

Two of the four third-place finishes came in the high jump.

Livesay and sophomore Ben Huff each had a top leap of 5-2.

Gunderson finished third in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 17.01 seconds. Keeling was third in the 400 with a time of 56.21.

CMB competes in the South Hardin co-ed meet at 4:30 p.m.

Astrograph

Pluto, the dwarf planet that likes to awaken dormant forces, will get on with the business of tapping on the very foundation of relationships and matters of identity, testing for structural integrity with a retrograde that lasts through September. What a way to start off the Taurus solar journey.

Expect a profound and memorable turn of events.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 20). You’ve a playful heart this solar journey, but you’ll still get some serious business accomplished over the next 10 weeks. New people enter your personal life, and you’ll participate in a lot of teamwork.

There’s a creative venture in

July and travel in October.

This is not a year for financial risk. Save instead. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 30, 25, 50 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Just because something looks cool doesn’t make it cool -- but it’s half the battle. Your work’s success hangs in the balance of a kind of seduction. Give equal weight to style and content for the win.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be pleased by the logical and linear nature of today’s challenges; a very satisfying and solvable puzzle lies before you. Each solution will be the

first clue to the next problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you keep making allowances, you’ll bankrupt the project, fall short of the goal or possibly not even move the needle at all. So don’t give yourself any loopholes. Be strict.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You won’t be able to keep yourself from fear. If you tell yourself to relax and calm down it will only make you more anxious. Invite the fear in. Make room for it; make friends with it. Fear will soon dissipate and lose its power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The dancer believes that the soul is exposed in the dance. The artist believes it’s in the lines; the writer reads it in words.

Today, you’ll see the soul

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The more you have to talk yourself into something, the stronger the likelihood is that it’s a terrible, horrible, no-good idea. At best, it’s a waste of time you could spend doing almost anything else, including napping.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You thought about it in a radical way back when you were new.

Now that you’re experienced, you understand the nuances and will hold a more conservative viewpoint.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Reciprocity is a tenet you live by. If you won’t be able to return a favor, you won’t take

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What’s unfair to one person is unfair to all. Standing up for another person’s rights is standing up for your own.

Those who lack empathy will prove to be, in the long run, unfortunate company.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It does seem to be the case that, on certain days, your chances of winning the game are the same whether your play or not.

However, that’s not the point.

Play. Winning isn’t everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of your many dreaded dangers, very few are reasonable; even fewer are probable.

Quite likely, the number of these fears that will come to anything is approximately zero.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like to do good works
