Hardee’s plans moving forward Closing date set for mid-May; construction planned for summer

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Justin Jagler/Daily News Members of the Disciples Men’s Fellowship Team at First Christian Church in Newton stand by a bunk bed and single twin bed they built as part of the “Bedz 4 Kidz” mission. The group has built more than 20 beds and taken more than 60 children off the floor over the past three years.

Bedz 4 Kidz

Almost 11 months after the Newton City Council originally approved an agreement to bring a Hardee’s restaurant to Newton, a closing date on the property has been set for on or before May 19. City council approved a resolution

amending the purchase and sale agreement with 4G Properties, LLC reducing the asking price from $100,000 to $80,000 on Monday.

“I’m just excited to see this moving forward,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said. “I am consistently asked when we are getting the biscuits and gravy from Hardee’s coming to town.”

Last June, the city approved the purchase and sale agreement with 4G for the 1.2 acre piece of land that was the former Juice and Junk site for the construction of a Hardee’s.

he Disciples Men’s Fellowship Team at First Christian Church is on a mission to make sure no child in Newton has to sleep on the floor.

Through its “Bedz 4 Kidz” program, the group of about 20 volunteers is building bunk beds and single twin beds and distributing them to children in need.

For the last three years, the fellowship team has been working with the school district to help provide Newton students with a good night’s sleep.

The building process started in 2013, after First Christian Church Pastor Mark Young saw a similar program being implemented at his son’s church in Texas. The Disciples Men’s Fellowship Team took the idea and ran. A small operation that started in the pastor’s garage with about six people now works in the church’s basement.

receive from the families when we bring that bed in, the smiles and the hugs that we get from the children.”

— Dick Palmer, First Christian Church member

First Christian Church member Dick Palmer, who helps coordinate the mission, said the group has built 20-25 beds and taken more than 60 kids (and some adults) off the floor. In addition to the hand-made beds, the fellowship group has received donations of steel-framed beds and redistributed those as well.

Through Newton Community School District’s counselors and Superintendent Bob Callaghan, First Christian Church is able to connect with families in need.

Parents with children in need who are enrolled in the school district can contact their school’s counselor at 641-792-5809.

Counselors make arrangements with the church to provide beds.

Each bed frame comes with a mattress and bedding. The beds are fully furnished besides pillows, Palmer said. The church welcomes bed donations as well as monetary donations. Each bed costs about $250 in material to produce.

Sentence includes probation, registering as sex offender

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

A 21-year-old Newton man was sentenced in Jasper County District Court Monday morning after he pleaded guilty to sex abuse and to forcing a 16-year-old girl into his car.

Colin C. Hansen pleaded guilty to third-degree sexual abuse last month, prompting an amended

charge of assault causing serious injury that was sexually mot ivated, a class D Hansen felony.

Hansen was sentenced to probation for three years, was ordered to complete a sex offender treatment program and to register as a sex offender. A no-contact order is in effect between Hansen with the victim for five years.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A delegation of five Ukrainian women and their facilitator were welcomed to Newton by mayor Mike Hansen and city staff on Monday. The woman are here through the OPEN organization, a nonprofit cultural and education exchange organization in the community.

“We are delighted to have you, we value our relationship with OPEN,” Hansen said.

All employed by social organizations in Ukraine, the women participat-

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Tuesday, May 2, the 122nd day of 2017. There are 243 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 2, 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Buck v. Bell, upheld 8-1 a Virginia law allowing the forced sterilization of people to promote the “health of the patient and the welfare of society.” (On this date in 2002, Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner apologized for the state’s thousands of forced sterilizations from 1924 to 1979, calling the practice “a shameful effort.”)

On this date: In 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was accidentally wounded by his own men at Chancellorsville, Virginia; he died eight days later.

In 1890, the Oklahoma Territory was organized.

In 1908, the original version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” with music by Albert Von Tilzer and lyrics by Jack Norworth, was published by Von Tilzer’s York Music Co. In 1936, “Peter and the Wolf,” a symphonic tale for children by Sergei Prokofiev, had its world premiere in Moscow.

In 1946, violence erupted during a foiled escape attempt at the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay; the “Battle of Alcatraz” claimed the lives of three inmates and two correctional officers before it was put down two days later.

In 1957, crime boss Frank Costello narrowly survived an attempt on his life in New York; the alleged gunman, Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, was acquitted at trial after Costello refused to identify him as the shooter.

In 1982, the Weather Channel made its debut.

In 1997, a new national memorial honoring President Franklin D. Roosevelt was officially opened in Washington, D.C. Tony Blair, whose new Labour Party crushed John Major’s long-reigning Conservatives in a national election, became at age 43 Britain’s youngest prime minister in 185 years.

In 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed by elite American forces at his Pakistan compound, then quickly buried at sea after a decade on the run. Because of the time difference, bin Laden’s death came May 1, U.S. time.

Ten years ago: In a defeat for anti-war Democrats, Congress failed to override President George W. Bush’s veto of legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. In a speech to construction contractors in Washington, President Bush declared al-Qaida “public enemy no.

1 in Iraq.”

Five years ago: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich formally exited the Republican presidential contest.

One year ago: The first U.S. cruise ship in nearly 40 years pulled into Havana Harbor, restarting commercial travel on waters that had served as a stage for a half-century of Cold War hostility.

Today’s Birthdays Former International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge is 75. Actress-activist Bianca Jagger is 72. Actress Christine Baranski is 65. Fashion designer Donatella Versace is 62. Country singer Ty Herndon is 55. Broadcast journalist Mika Brzezinski is 50. Rock musician Todd Sucherman (Styx) is 48.

The Asbury Park Press reports 32-year-old fraternal twins Danielle Grant and Kim Abraham gave birth to baby boys on Friday. The sisters decided to have labor induced after their identical due dates of April 22 passed.

Grant and Abraham delivered their sons, Roman and Aaron, a little less than four hours apart.

The Toms River natives say their pregnancies were coincidences. Picking an induction date was the only thing that was consciously chosen.

Arriving in a brilliant white space containing a series of geometric structures, you’ll find no one pointing you in the right direction, and no explanatory text next to the garments.

There is a bit of guidance available. Andrew Bolton, star curator of this and other blockbuster Met fashion exhibits, has provided paper brochures with maps and context, though he cheerfully welcomes you

to ditch them. And even this much explanation for the visitor was a hardfought compromise with Kawakubo.

“It was a battle,” Kawakubo says in an interview with Bolton. “Are you going to write that we fought?”

They seem to have fought over various things. Showing a reporter around the exhibit a few days before opening, Bolton noted that although Kawakubo approached him 18 months ago saying she was ready for a show, she was resolutely opposed to a retrospective. She hates focusing on the past, because she has moved on.

“She finds it physically painful to look at her work. So, that took months of negotiation,” he said.

Retirement NCT honored for acting, directing at regional competition Newton Daily News celebration The Newton Community Theatre planned for competed in the American Association Community Theatre Region V Festival past weekend in Brainerd, Minn.

Breckenridge thisEight productions from Iowa, KanNewton Daily News

A retirement celebration is planned for Lt. Wes Breckenridge from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday at the Newton City Hall Atrium, 101 W. Fourth St. S. in Newton.

The community is invited to help honor Breckenridge for his 24 years of service to the Newton Police Department.

He has served a total of Breckenridge 27 years in law enforcement.

Breckenridge, 48, announced his retirement at the end of March due to a recurring shoulder injury.

The NPD lieutenant has had six shoulder dislocations and three corrective surgeries over a several-year period. He has pain associated with three metal pins and three composite clamps installed in his right shoulder.

Breckenridge’s most recent surgery was in June. He’s been on restrictive duty at NPD while in rehabilitation. Breckenridge said he received the news recently that he would not be able to return to patrol duty, and his injury-related retirement was effective March 31.

sas, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota were featured at the festival.

Newton Community Theater presented “Pvt. Wars” and was named as first alternate and second alternate was “A Number” from The Wilson Performing Arts Center at Red Oak. Newton also won awards for: Outstanding Achievement in Acting: Conor Fudge and Outstanding Achievement in Direction: John Dougan. Advancing to the AACT National Festival in Rochester, Minn will be “The Voice of the Prairie” from Fungus Amongus Players of Dassel-Cokato, Minn. and “On the Road to Verona” from MN SkyVault Theatre Company of Rochester, Minn.

to Newton to increase.

To compensate for the increased costs, 4G proposed decreasing the asking price by $20,000. With approval, the developer is ready to move forward with a closing date set for on or before May 19 with construction to start later in the summer.

“I’m excited to see the closing date and a planned start date,” Kulis said. “I understand the need to adjust the price based upon the addition findings to make it worth it and I’m glad that we’re doing so.”

In total, the investment from 4G is proposed at more

Bedz Continued from Page 1A Palmer said the fellowship group recognized the need for beds after meeting with school personnel. After retrieving the blueprints from the church down in Texas, Newton’s First Christian Church was ready for action.

“The impact that we feel we’re having is that just the expression of thanks that we receive from the families when we bring that bed in, the smiles and the hugs that we get from the children,” Palmer said.

Quilters from First Christian Church, United Presbyterian and Community Heights Alliance churches have all contributed to the cause. The fellowship group purchases mattresses from Newton Furniture and hardware and lumber for the beds at Spahn & Rose Lumber Co. Bedding donations from individuals are supplemented with bedding purchased from Walmart. The group’s first bunk bed was installed in January 2014.

than $1 million. The company is planning to build an upscale-type restaurant along with accompanying signage and landscaping.

“The new style Hardee’s restaurant are high quality buildings with considerable stone work on the exterior,” Friedman said when the project was proposed.

The project started after the city purchased the former Juice and Junk building and property at 1205 W. 19th St. S. for $550,000 at a March 2016 meeting. The former gas station/convenience store building had been mostly vacant for more than 10 years. The building and property presented a poor image at the Interstate 80 exit 164, which serves as a primary entrance to the city.

The council is hoping the construction of the new restaurant will spur redevelopment of the rest of the site, which totals approximately 10.49 acres.

Nearly two years later, the victim had a chance to give an impact statement in front of the court, including Hansen.

“Do you understand the impact that your conduct had on the young lady here in the courtroom?” McCall asked.

“She suggested in her statement that she wishes there would be some way you would be placed in a situation where you don’t have any control — I suppose prison would be that kind of place would it not, and you don’t think that’s an appropriate outcome?”

When McCall asked Hansen how he has changed his conduct, Hansen told the judge, “he has learned to be more patient and think things through.”

According to the police report, the victim said Hansen messaged her on Facebook to meet at the Homedahl Park in Kellogg. Upon meeting, she said Hansen grabbed her arm and forced her into his car.

Once in the car, Hansen asked for the victim to perform a sex act on him. She refused, and Hansen then grabbed her head and forced her to perform the act, according to the report.

My kind of camping

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

I

am not a camper. As a kid, my family did not camp regularly, if ever, and I became used to the comforts of a hotel room rather than roughing it in the wild.

I have camped before. My husband and I attended a music festival in Minnesota several times, camping for a week, and I have gone on an annual trip to Decorah for tubing fun, camping by the river and eating by the fire.

A main part of camping is the tents you live and sleep in. My family seemed to own a tent because during one camping adventure in my backyard with my friends we ended up moving it inside due to a thunderstorm.

Tents are often cramped with the many things we bring along to live while camping, including the always deflating air mattress. After we got married, my husband and I bought a large tent, one that you could stand in and had a couple of “rooms.” I’m not honestly sure why we purchased this, but we own it.

My favorite kind of tent and camping is the homemade kind that takes place in our house. With a couple of blankets tied and clipped to different anchors around the room, an all new area for adventure is created.

We have built many blanket tents in our house, from some in the living room, dining area and the girls’ bed-

room. The latest tent covered about every square inch of their room and was almost tall enough to stand in.

After the tent was up, a pile of pillows and blankets were thrown and the girls snuggled in to “camp” for the night. I wasn’t sure if they would end up falling asleep on the floor in the tent, but sure enough, they did. And not only did they spend one night in their tent, the second night they climbed in again and slept side by side under the blanket sky.

Tents are also popular at my parents house. I have walked into their living room on more than one occasion to find a sheet spread across the room in various ways housing all of the girls toys.

My youngest daughter is really taken by tents and has a couple set up at my parents house at all times. It started with a tent in the bay window area where a love seat was located. She would climb in there to play and often

take her afternoon nap while laying in her tent.

When it was time for the tent to come down in the living room, it moved into the game room draping the foosball table giving her a little area to collect her treasures.

The last installation tented an area behind their couch and was attached to the wall. To decorate the tent, my youngest thought it would be a good idea to carry a vase of flowers and place them on the a table inside. While a cute idea, she had a little trouble along the way and my mom found a trail of water leading right inside the tent.

I hope someday my girls get to go camping, first probably in our backyard with their dad and then maybe venturing out with their grandparents. I, on the other hand, will keep booking hotel rooms for our family vacations.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

Breakfast and taxes I like to go out for breakfast. I don’t mean I like a nice dragon fruit smoothie and a banana, either.

I like to go to diners.

I like ham and two eggs, over easy, home fries, toast and coffee. I like steak and eggs, too, or pancakes and link sausage, or eggs and corned beef hash, or French toast and bacon, not too crisp on the bacon. I like an omelet, too, usually ham and Swiss cheese, though I like a pulled pork omelet, too.

Breakfast is a good meal to like, since it’s the cheapest sit-down meal you can eat in a restaurant. I’m lucky enough to live in a poor city, so breakfast, with unlimited coffee, can be mine for about $7. Though I might have to go up to $11 if I want the steak and eggs.

Until recently, the newspaper where I work as a columnist had me working a mix of day and night shifts. I usually worked two or three night shifts a week, the 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift. If I worked the night shift, I always went out for breakfast. Then, I’d go home and take a nap until it was time to report for work. Of course, I get the customary two days off a week, and I always go out to breakfast when I’m off work. That schedule lasted for about three years, and it allowed me to go out for breakfast four or five times a week.

Working people know that nothing on a job lasts forever. You master the French fry machine, and, bang, the boss puts you on the cash register.

The paper moved me off the French fry machine, and I ended up working all days. With one stroke, three breakfasts a week vanished. Now I eat instant oatmeal at my desk.

I’m down to two breakfasts a week, and, if my wife is off on one of the days I’m off, sometimes I only get to go out for breakfast once. She’s not a breakfast girl, unless she’s in a nice hotel and it’s room service and she can eat it in bed.

My wife keeps telling me the fall off in breakfast is good for me. I’m losing weight, too.

My weight’s never been a real problem. At 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, I looked like most of the guys, slimmer than some.

It’s been a year since I started the new schedule.

The last time I went to the doctor, I was down eight pounds for the year. That was 11 months ago. My pants are loose now, and I’m thinking of going down a waist size. I can take off my old jeans without unbuttoning or unzipping. They slide off like a pat of butter slides off a stack of pancakes.

The hell of working for a living is not so much the work itself, it’s having to give up so much control over your own life. That paycheck is a powerful thing. It can tell you where, when and what you eat, where you live, what you drive and, if the job is bad enough, when you die.

I thought about breakfast when President Donald Trump announced his new tax reform plan. I read it, and I’ve got kind of a grip on it, but I won’t really know anything for sure until it becomes real law, and by that time, it might be too late.

With my luck, the paper will give me the night shifts back, but I won’t have enough money to go out for breakfast.

Iowa’s ranking is plummeting The Iowa legislative session for this year is over, and some are bemoaning the low increase in school funding. According to the OECD, which administers the international PISA assessments in addition to collecting other data from countries around the world, the countries out-educating us are doing so at less cost per student than we are spending in this country for abysmal results.

National assessments using NAEP show Iowa scores static, but what the public is not being told is that Iowa’s ranking is plummeting with regard to other states (that are figuring out what they have been doing wrong) — but not Iowa. Iowa even has to use a low standard for grade level rather than the national grade standard because of the inability to effectively teach concepts and their applications to the various learning styles to get proficien-

State’s most vulnerable citizens are at risk

The state must reverse their misguided use of taxpayer funding through managed care organizations. Medical care to low-income people with disabilities as a profit-making endeavor is immoral. While Iowa citizens are committed to using tax dollars to support our state’s most vulnerable, our state government–through deep cuts and privatization of Medicaid — is

cies higher.

Unfortunately, most of Iowa’s teachers and administrators are products of the system of memorization that blamed students for not being able to learn in a system discriminating against them, so their training must include the education they did not receive, along with the effective methods of teaching concepts to various learning styles. Any teacher, including elementary, using memorization of any kind is using poor teaching techniques, is discriminating against learning styles incompatible with memorization, and failing to raise proficiencies that can demonstrate a grasp of concepts and their applications.

Any teacher claiming memorization is necessary clearly lacks the training and understanding of the requirements for education today to get us back up to the world standards this country chose to abandon. Even schools succeeding in getting teachers to change their teaching meth-

ods, are failing at effectively remediating the mess they already created. Special Ed fails to remediate. Summer school failed to remediate, so removing its funding is actually saving money that was being wasted anyway. Any educators claiming otherwise are documenting their lack of skills and understanding of concepts.

Memorizing words rather than learning the correct phonics that has rules for all words in our language cheats students of knowing how to sound out words for improved reading and spelling proficiencies. Memorizing math facts (usually with flash cards) cheats students of learning the underlying math processes necessary for understanding math operations and applying them at successively higher levels. Elementary teachers who do not know this document the failure of teacher training programs, that keep Iowa student proficiencies below national grade level.

not.

As an organization that provides guardianship for people with disabilities, we, the board of Iowa Guardianships, Inc. are deeply concerned about Iowa’s plummeting support for the disabled. Underpayment of providers has created gaps in coverage and reduced access to critically needed services. The burden of filling gaps has fallen on organizations, families, and guardians.

Moreover, a lack of independent case management has placed advocacy at risk. We regret that documented facts, anecdotes and

case studies are ignored. The administration and legislative majority refuse to recognize the new system as the catastrophic failure it is.

Our elected officials must take corrective action next session.

They must restore publicly managed Medicaid. We ask all Iowans to compel elected officials to make persons with disabilities a budget priority and not a means of profit for private companies.

Our state’s most vulnerable citizens need their voices heard.

Lost tooth leads to surprise attraction to dental student

DEAR ABBY: A year ago, I lost a tooth. I’m a 56-year-old woman on disability, short on funds to rectify the problem, so I visited my local hospital’s dental clinic. I hadn’t visited a dentist in years, so I was quite fearful.

The clinic allows a dental resident to work on your issue under the supervision of a practiced dentist. The work I needed was performed every two weeks for about four months. What I did not count on was becoming seriously attracted to a 29-year-old resident I’ll call “Justin.”

At first, I couldn’t believe it was possible, given the fact that I’m old enough to be his mother and my ex-husband is a doctor. I was a teacher and I know all the “rules.” In fairness, in NO WAY did Justin or I do or say anything inappropriate. Still, certain circumstances led me to believe that he felt the same about me. Neither of us acted on this.

My question: The work has been over for months, but some days the memories are so intense, I can’t get him out of my mind. I don’t know how to handle this. Please help. — UNEXPECTED IN NEW YORK DEAR UNEXPECTED: The “rules” you referred to are a code of ethics that professionals are expected to adhere to. The way to handle your feelings would be to consider that if Justin were to act on the feelings you think he shared with you, he could lose his job, and the future he has worked so hard to build would be destroyed. If you care about him at all beyond your attraction, you will not pursue this further.

DEAR ABBY: I am writing about how to proceed with expressing sympathy for an old friend.

My husband and I were very close friends with a couple for about eight years. We moved away, but continued to see each other occasionally. We kept in touch, and in the past few years have been able to visit more frequently.

When we were in their city six months ago, we saw them a few times and they mentioned that they had no friends. I

know she has no siblings or parents left.

Her husband died suddenly of a stroke five months ago. They were together for 50 years. I sent her a formal sympathy note and three more casual follow-ups. I also wrote a poem in his memory. It may seem excessive, but I remember how bereft she felt when her sister died, and she felt that sympathy was not sufficiently extended (I don’t think she was pointing the finger at me).

Abby, I don’t want her to think that we aren’t feeling a lot of sympathy for her. Yet her silence indicates that either our overtures are unwanted or that her condition is so bad that she’s emotionally overwhelmed. When does an old friend stop reaching out? — BEWILDERED IN OHIO DEAR BEWILDERED: Call the woman and ASK HER how she’s doing. Explain that because you haven’t heard from her, you have been concerned.

You are a caring friend, but there is only so much anyone can do via long distance. It’s possible that because her husband’s death was unexpected, she has had her hands full learning how to take care of the details that he managed while he was alive.

If she’s not doing well, suggest she join a support group so she won’t be isolated in her grief. And recognize that, as much as you wish to support her, she will have to forge her own way through her heartache.

Man accused of grabbing wheel before crash charged EVANSDALE — A passenger in a March single-vehicle crash has been charged with causing the wreck.

Antonio Raymone Harris, 28 of Waterloo, was arrested Thursday and charged with willful injury and two domestic assault counts. The March 7 rollover crash, which seriously injured Harris, happened on Interstate 380 in Evansdale.

Inmate captured after killing deputy during escape COUNCIL BLUFFS (AP) — An inmate shot two sheriff ’s deputies, killing one of them, and escaped from an Iowa jail on Monday before he was recaptured a short time later following a high-speed chase across the state border in Nebraska.

Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said Wesley Williams Correa-Carmenaty, 23, managed to steal a sheriff ’s deputy’s gun after he returned from court and shot the two deputies around 11 a.m.

Then Correa-Carmenaty stole the transport van and crashed through a garage door at the Pottawattamie County Jail in Council Bluffs, which is just across the Missouri River from Omaha, Neb. Danker said it’s a tragedy that 43-year-old Mark Burbridge died shortly after noon at an Omaha hospital. The other wounded deputy and a civilian who was shot during a failed carjacking were both in fair condition at a different Omaha hospital.

“He was an excellent man. We’re going to miss him,” Danker said.

Authorities are still working to determine how Correa-Carmenaty obtained the gun and whether he had been able to free himself from his shackles during the ride back from court.

Two arrested in Grinnell meth lab bust Newton Daily News The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force arrested two Grinnell residents Sunday evening after locating a methamphetamine lab inside of a residence.

The task force and the Grinnell Police Department conducted a drug search warrant at 8 p.m. at 1203 Spencer St., where illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were found, along with a meth lab.

Garry W. Dayton, 33, was charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, third offense, possession of marijuana, third offense, possession of prescription pills without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Lindsey M. Terrell, 24, was charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine and contraband into a correctional facility.

Dayton and Terrell were both arrested and taken to the Poweshiek County Jail.

Lindsey K. Etter, 34, has an arrest warrant for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of prescription pills without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Nathaniel R. Haynes, 26, and Debra L. Sheets, 38, both of Grinnell, were both charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, and they were released to appear in court.

The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force is based in Des Moines and currently has 21 central Iowa local, county, state and federal agencies participating in the task force, including the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s attorney general has concluded that Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds will not have the power to appoint a lieutenant governor when she replaces Gov. Terry Branstad, a surprise reversal that immediately rocked state politics.

Reynolds is preparing to take over as governor when Branstad resigns to become U.S. ambassador to China, which is expected to happen once he’s confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In a long-awaited legal opinion released Monday, Democratic Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said that Reynolds will have the title of governor and the powers of the office through January 2019 but not the authority to choose a new lieutenant governor.

Miller’s opinion is a reversal from December, when he said he agreed with the Republican administration that Reynolds would have the power to pick a new No. 2. It will have significant consequences for the 2018 election in which Reynolds is expected to seek a four-year term and Democrats are trying to win the office back.

If she follows Miller’s advice, Reynolds will not have a lieutenant who could travel the state promoting her administration while serving as her running mate in the campaign. If she ignores Miller and appoints someone, she could face a court challenge and be accused of exceeding her authority. Miller’s opinion isn’t binding but courts would consider it carefully.

Reynolds denounced

In a legal opinion Monday, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller concluded that Reynolds will not have the authority to appoint a lieutenant governor when she replaces Gov. Terry Branstad. Reynolds is preparing to become governor when Branstad resigns to become U.S. ambassador to China in the coming weeks.

the timing and conclusion of Miller’s opinion Monday, saying she believed his earlier guidance was correct. She indicated she was considering moving ahead with an appointment “as we examine our options in light of Tom Miller’s reversal.” Reynolds has already vetted several candidates in anticipation of announcing a pick soon.

“This politically motivated opinion defies common sense,” Branstad added.

Branstad and Reynolds argue that she has the authority to appoint a lieutenant governor under a 2009 state law that says “an appointment by the governor to fill a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor shall be for the balance of the unexpired term.”

But some critics said the Iowa Constitution trumps that law, as did the way prior guber-

natorial vacancies had been handled. Miller’s office agreed to review the question in response to a Feb. 1 request for a formal opinion by state Sen. David Johnson, an independent who said he believed a “careful reading” of the Constitution might prohibit Reynolds from making an appointment.

Miller’s opinion noted that in the four previous times in state history when a lieutenant governor replaced a governor, they did not appoint new lieutenant governors. It happened most recently in 1969, when Lt. Gov. Robert Fulton served as governor for 16 days after Gov. Harold Hughes left to join the U.S. Senate.

The Iowa Constitution says the lieutenant governor would act as governor in the event of a governor’s departure, and that all of the powers of the office would “devolve upon the Lieu-

tenant Governor.” It says that those powers would transfer to the Senate president — not a newly appointed lieutenant governor — should the acting governor “be impeached, displaced, resign, or die.”

Miller said that the two offices essentially merge when the governor leaves and therefore there is no vacancy to fill.

The reversal could also have political ramifications for the long-serving attorney general, who would be on the ballot in 2018 should he choose to run for another term. Miller, 72, has held the office since 1978 — with the exception of a four-year stint in the 1990s.

Reynolds has served as lieutenant governor since 2011, helping shape policy, run the executive branch and travel the state to tour businesses and meet voters. She earns $103,000 in that role.

Martin Luther interpreter returns Sunday from work, religion from politics, family and friends, etc.

Luther, however, eliminates the separations by seeing a Christian’s baptismal identity as the vocation of reflecting Christ, wherever one is, whatever one is doing, and with whomever one is gathered.

The appearance is another event in a year when the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation.

Rothweiler, a student of Luther and a graduate of university studies in Germany, was inspired by the performances of Hal Holbrook’s one-man show, “Mark Twain Tonight.” He reasoned that Luther, like Twain, was a very

Newton Daily News The Rev. Don Rothweiler, who paid a visit to both Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Newton, and St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in rural Sully, in October last year will return Sunday at both services.

Rothweiler previously spoke on the topic of “Christian Suffering and the Cross.”

In May he will reflect on Martin Luther’s thoughts regarding the vocation into which baptism calls believers.

For the past 30 years Rothweiler, an ELCA Pastor, has been spinning the various threads of Luther’s thought into cogent presentations on Luther: the man, his preaching, his contemporaries,his humor and his faith. He is a veteran actor, puppet builder and performer, as well as a tour leader to renaissance and reformation historical sites in Germany.

Lady Dutch edge Cardinals in OT

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High defender Marcelina Marvelli, middle, kicks the ball away from the goal and out of the reach of Pella’s Madelyn Canfield (12) during the second half of Monday’s Little Hawkeye Conference contest at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Visiting Class 2A second-ranked Pella claimed a 1-0 win over 2A 10th-ranked Newton in overtime. It was the first loss of the season for the Cardinals.

Two ranked Class 2A girls’ soccer teams and Little Hawkeye Conference rivals played on a frigid Monday evening at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Newton High’s 10th-ranked Cardinals hosted the second-ranked Pella Lady Dutch on the first night of May which felt more like a raw February evening.

The Cardinals and Lady Dutch played the full 80 minutes of regulation to a scoreless tie. The teams went to overtime.

Newton senior goalkeeper Ashlee Freese had been a wall throughout the game. Pella out-shot Newton at least 2-to1 and Freese had 14 saves.

With 7:31 remaining in the first 10-minute overtime, Pella’s Grace Held delivered the golden goal to give the Lady Dutch a 1-0 win.

It was the first loss of the season for the Cardinals. They are 7-1 and went to 3-1 in

LHC play. Pella is 11-1 overall and 4-0 in conference play.

“Our team played an outstanding game tonight,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said. “Coach (Mallory) Sturtz and I couldn’t be more proud of the girls.”

Lamont said the Cardinal defense played by far its best game of the season. She said the Newton offensive players fought hard to get the scoring opportunities it did. Newton had six shots on goal.

“Pella is a very good team, and each time we face them we know it will be a battle. This time was no different,” Lamont said. “Our girls proved they were ready for the challenge. We look forward to hopefully playing them again this season.”

Newton plays a 5:30 p.m. varsity game Friday at North Polk followed by the junior varsity game at 7 p.m.

Newton Trap Team has had a busy shooting slate

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton Trap Team members have been busy the past two weeks in trap, skeet and sporting clay competitions at other team’s home ranges.

On Saturday, the Cardinal shooters compete on their home range — the Jasper County Gun Club. The Newton club will host its annual high school trap shoot starting at 9 a.m. The Cardinals are set to shoot at 10:30 a.m.

This past weekend Newton began with a trap shoot at Knoxville on Saturday, competing against Pella Christian, Knoxville, Pella, Albia, Montezuma, North Mahaska and Southeast Warren. Newton’s varsity squads each had a combined score of 192 finishing 13th and 14 out of 20 squads in their division.

Allison Ulrey shot a 45 and took third place out of 24 in the varsity women’s division. Devon Young also shot a 45 and finished 18th out of the 88 in the varsity men’s division.

Newton junior squad members Brodee Vest, Blasé Byrd, Dylan Farver, Daniel Townsend and Trenton Winchell posted a combined score of 159 to finish in fifth place out of 10 squads. Vest was Newton’s top score in the junior varsity men’s division hitting 45 of 53 clay targets for fifth place.

Newton’s other full junior varsity squad of Malarie Zach, Ryan Brown, Jarrett Antle, Kalob Westercamp and

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Brian Bleakney of the Newton Trap Team takes aim during a trap shoot last season. He is one of the top varsity shooters for the team during the 2017 season.

Landon Gearhart finished in eighth place. Zach took third place in the junior varsity women’s division with a 35.

A few Newton shooters competed in the skeet event at Knoxville. Varsity members Dallas Schaeffer, Logan Zaabel and Joshua Adkison posted a squad total of 95 to take fifth place out of seven squads. Zaabel shot a 39 to finish in 10th place out of 33 in the men’s division. Brooke GIfford finished in seventh place out of eight in the women’s division.

On Sunday, Newton was led by Zaabel in a sporting clays event at Maxwell. Zaabel had a score of 41 for eighth place. Newton had five team members competing in a field of 17 shooters. Other teams competing

were Ballard, Nevada, Pella, Solon and Waterloo Christian.

“We didn’t have the best scores this weekend. The weather was a big factor for us I think,” Newton coach Paul Klein said. “It was really rainy and cold both days, and I think the kids just weren’t focusing as hard as they should have.

Hopefully, we will see better weather this Saturday for our home trap meet at the Jasper County Gun Club.”

On April 22, Newton top varsity squad shot an 181 for 10th place at a trap shoot hosted by Ankeny Centennial High School. Teams competing with Newton were Ankeny, Knoxville, Gilbert, Des Moines and Baxter.

Brian Bleakney posted the highest individual score for Newton with a 44,

placing 12th out of 70 senior varsity division.

In the junior varsity division, Newton’s highest squad score was 165 for a fifth place finish. Vest shot a 41 to take 11th out of 43 in the senior junior varsity division.

“It was a bit windy that day and that effects how the clays fly. Our scores overall could have been better but hopefully the team members will recover and shoot better,” Klein said after the meet.

The Cardinals shot skeet and sporting clays against Pella and Marshall County on April 24 at the Big Springs Shooting Range in Searsboro.

Evan Cook was the high score in skeet with a 39 to finish in ninth place out of 32 senior division shooters. In sporting clays, Zaabel took fourth place in the senior men’s division, shooting a score of 40. Ulrey finished third in the women’s senior division with a 34.

“We are improving in the skeet and sporting clays events,” Klein said “A lot of these teams practice skeet and sporting clays regularly. We get the majority of our exposure to both disciplines by going to competitions, so for us to have team members finishing in the upper half is pretty good.”

Newton is back at Big Springs on Monday for another skeet shoot.

CEO says NASCAR ‘not isolated’ in fighting to attract fans RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France says the challenge of connecting with a new, younger generation of fans is something that all sports are trying to figure out, and one that NASCAR will take some time to figure out.

Speaking at Richmond International Raceway before Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race, France compared the challenge sports are facing to the one retailers are facing because of the popularity of online shopping.

NASCAR has seen crowds shrink at virtually every track, many of which have removed seats, and its television ratings have plummeted. At Richmond, which once routinely seated more than 100,000 fans for races in the premier Cup series, only 60,000 seats remain and they were not close to full for Sunday’s 400-lap race.

“We’re not isolated here,” France said. “Every sport is trying to unlock the new consumption levels and fan inter-

est by a younger demographic. Of course we love our core fan and everyone does, but every sport is thinking carefully about how to reach the millennial fan to get them excited about their sport.”

He said NASCAR will con-

vene a summit next month in Charlotte, North Carolina, bringing in experts from various fields, to discuss the issue.

France also downplayed the difficulty that some teams are having securing sponsorship for next season.

“It’s only April. Those kinds of decisions from corporate America typically get made in August and September, something like that,” he said. “We’ll always have that. That’s not anything abnormal.”

One advantage NASCAR gives sponsors, he said, is, “They can’t own a team in any other sport, but they can here.”

France also paid tribute to Dale Earnhardt Jr., the sport’s most popular driver, who announced last week that he will retire at the end of the season, making him the fourth star to plan to quit racing in less than three years.

“He’s meant a lot to the sport in many ways, on and off the track. Not just his popularity and whatever, but carrying on the Earnhardt name in such a good way that he was always competitive on the track, always raced at a high level and always worked with NASCAR to make the sport better, just like his father did,” France said.

With his retirement, Earn-

hardt will join Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards in walking away from racing.

France said an exodus like that is not all that unusual in the sport.

“If you look back at our history, we always tend to see drivers in waves move in one direction so it’s not uncommon to have three, four or five of your top drivers exit for different reasons in a short period of time, two years, whatever it is,” he said, noting they often can do it because they have financial stability.

The good news, he said, is that the talent pool being counted on to produce future stars is deep.

Kyle Larson, 24, began Sunday’s race leading the point standings, with 21-year-old Chase Elliott second. Both drivers have registered six top10 finishes in the first eight races of the season. Joey Logano, 26, and 23-year-old Ryan Blaney also began the day in the top 10, with Logano in fourth place and Blaney 10th.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Growing up, Wisconsin native Vince Biegel rarely posed for pictures without wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey.

His childhood dream has come true.

The Packers selected Biegel, a Wisconsin Badgers linebacker, with the first pick of the fourth round of the NFL draft on Saturday. Green Bay spent the rest of the third day of the draft building offensive depth after the selection of fan favorite Biegel capped a top-heavy focus on defense.

“If you looked at old pictures of me growing up, it was all green and gold. I was a cheesehead, and I was as probably the most Wisconsin as you can be,” Biegel said.

“So to be able to say I played Wisconsin football in high school football, college football and now in the NFL, this is every Wisconsin kid’s dream.”

A lingering offseason memory in Green Bay is the blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC title game.

Adding speed and length to a secondary maligned by inconsistency and injuries was one priority.

The Packers hope they’ve done that in part by drafting Kevin King, a 6-foot-3 cornerback from Washington, with the first pick of the second round on Friday.

Biegel checked off another box for a need to add a pass-rusher after Julius Peppers (Panthers) and Datone Jones (Vikings) left in free agency.

Biegel also fits into the team’s recent philosophy of drafting players with the potential to play multiple positions.

They think he can play inside, too.

The days of using primarily a base 3-4 defense on early downs are slowly disappearing in the pass-happy NFL. Other notes from the draft for Green Bay: What A Day: Possibly no pick had a more memorable draft experience than third-round selection Montravious Adams. The Auburn defensive end was drafted on Friday night, about six hours after his girlfriend gave birth to the couple’s first child, Montravious Adams, Jr.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — If their goal was to keep things interesting in the draft, the Chicago Bears sure did succeed.

They made a surprising move to trade up a spot and draft Mitchell Trubisky with the No. 2 pick and kept the surprises coming after that.

The Bears are banking on some big payoffs, and they have little room for error after finishing last in the NFC North at 3-13.

That’s what made their approach as surprising as it was bold.

They traded draft picks, took chances on players from unheralded programs.

And when it came to the most important position on the field, they made sure they got the player they wanted whether it was the right move to make or not.

A strong case could have been made for trading down to add picks rather than move up. In a draft strong on defensive players, the Bears could have gone that way with their first pick and waited a round to take a QB. After all, they signed starter Mike Glennon last month after dumping Jay Cutler.

Instead, general manager Ryan Pace made the move to get Trubisky while reaffirming he is all in on solidifying a traditionally weak spot for the Bears. He insisted he couldn’t afford to wait. He said teams looking to select a quarterback were calling him about the No. 3 pick and were also interested in the second spot.

Pace was also adamant: He didn’t get bluffed into a trade.

“Once you have conviction on a guy, you have to do it,” Pace said. “You have to be aggressive and do it. The comparison for me is always in free agency. You don’t really know. You set a price on a player, whether it’s a financial price or draft picks. And if you have conviction on a player, you go get him. Because the alternative is, you don’t know. Hey, maybe you call the bluff and you miss out on the player. And in this case, I wasn’t willing to take that risk.”

There was more controversy in Round 2 when the Bears traded down with Arizona to take tight end Adam Shaheen with the 45th pick.

He is an NCAA Division II player from Ashland who started out college as a basketball player and weighed only 195 pounds when he left high school.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs headed into the NFL draft last week with 10 selections spread across seven rounds, the massive haul due in large part to an abundance of compensatory picks.

With a roster returning mostly intact, there was little chance they’d use all of them.

General manager John Dorsey aggressively began working on trades even before the draft began.

By the time things settled Saturday, he’d pulled off four of the record number of swaps in this year’s draft, choosing six players he believes will help Kansas City not only this season but for several seasons to come.

“I tried to read as much as I could in terms of reading the other 31 teams and see where they were positioning,” he said after pulling off his biggest trade, sending two first-round picks and a third to Buffalo to jump up 17 spots and select quarterback Patrick Mahomes at No. 10 overall on Thursday.

The next night, Dorsey sent a trio of picks to the Vikings to move into the third round and take Toledo running back Kareem Hunt. The move addressed one of the Chiefs’ biggest weaknesses last season by bolstering their running back corps with a record-setting prospect.

Then on Saturday, Dorsey traded backup tight end James O’Shaughnessy and a sixth-round pick to the Patriots to jump into the fifth round and nab Georgia Southern linebacker Ukeme Eligwe. The Chiefs then called the Vikings again and sent them their other two fifth-round picks to land in the fourth round and take Michigan wide receiver Jehu Chesson.

The net result of all that dealing: a potential franchise quarterback, a running back capable of playing immediately, a linebacker to one day replace veteran Derrick Johnson and a wide receiver who could one day make life a whole lot easier for Mahomes.

“Just the way it goes,” Chiefs area scout Pat Sperduto said. “Guys were getting plucked from all different spots on the board. You just, like John says, ‘You let the board talk to you.’”

The Chiefs picked two other players with original selections, defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon from Villanova in the second round and Southern California safety Leon McQuay III in the sixth round.

Shaw, Villar homer as Brewers beat Cardinals in 10 innings ST. LOUIS (AP) — Travis Shaw sat out Milwaukee’s previous game with a sore hand.

He’s feeling much better now.

Shaw and Jonathan Villar each hit a tape-measure home run, and the Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 in 10 innings Monday night.

Shaw’s three-run shot off Seung Hwan Oh (0-2) traveled an estimated 451 feet and broke a 4-all tie with two outs in the top of the 10th. Villar’s two-run drive in the third soared 450 feet and gave the Brewers a 2-0 lead.

“That was pure reaction right there, too,” Shaw said.

“Down and in, slider, for me

it was just trying to put the ball in play. I reacted and I backspun it.”

Shaw was hit in the hand by a pitch Saturday against Atlanta.

At Villar first, the pain made it difficult to grip a bat.

Jedd Gyorko hit two late homers for the Cardinals and finished with four hits. Aledmys Diaz and Matt Carpenter connected back-to-back in the fifth.

Oliver Drake (1-0) pitched

a scoreless ninth and Neftali Feliz earned his seventh save.

Milwaukee starter Zach Davies allowed at least one runner in every inning. He gave up two runs and seven hits in five innings, stranding six.

The Brewers turned two of their four double plays behind him.

Domingo Santana led off the fourth with a double and scored his fifth run in two games on Manny Pina’s single to make it 3-0.

Eric Thames doubled home Villar in the fifth to make it 4-0. Thames has reached safely in 23-of-24 games this season.

Joseph, Phillies strike early, rout Cubs CHICAGO (AP) — Tommy Joseph hit an early three-run homer, Aaron Altherr had three RBIs and the Philadelphia Phillies routed the Chicago Cubs 10-2 on Monday night.

Michael Saunders and Freddy Galvis also homered in support of starter Vince Velasquez (2-2) to help the Phillies stop a three-game losing streak.

Chicago opened a seven-game homestand with its fourth loss in five games.

After rain delayed the start for 85 minutes, Philadelphia jumped on Brett Anderson

(2-1) for seven runs on seven hits and one walk in 1 1/3 innings.

The start was his shortest since August last year with the Altherr Los Angeles Dodgers.

Cesar Hernandez singled to open the game before Altherr doubled him home.

Maikel Franco walked and, one out later, Joseph lined a hanging slider into the leftfield bleachers for a 4-0 lead.

Altherr added a two-run double and Odubel Herrera had an RBI single in the second.

Saunders hit a solo homer and Galvis socked a two-run shot off reliever Justin Grimm in the seventh.

Velasquez took a one-hit shutout into the fifth before Javier Baez led off with a home run.

The right-hander allowed one run, two hits and three walks in five innings.

Edubray Ramos, Joely Rodriguez and Pat Neshek combined for four innings of onerun relief.

Quality Service You Can Trust

for a team will be highlighted in June and will lead to a subsequent quest. Aries and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 9, 30, 22 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When the sounds, sights and tastes that speak to your heart and body are the very same as another person’s this builds a sense of belonging, comfort and kinship. You can have love without such commonalities, just not as quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You don’t need to forgive anyone or be forgiven for anything. This is a day to accept the way it is and build

PO Box 605, Newton, Iowa

from here without rehashing or giving any focus at all to the way things were before. This is now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Everyone loves a pretty package. In today’s instance, such a promise will intrigue and attract many. You’ll be drawn in just like the others. But you won’t stay “in” if there’s nothing compelling inside.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Sometimes the unaccepted and seemingly unacceptable thing is the truer thing. You’re willing to look at it without taking offense or being astonished.

The majority isn’t always (or even often) right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This electric energy that buzzes in your body when you engage

with an exciting idea or pursuit is evanescent -- but very real.

So act on it while the sensation is alive in you! Otherwise you’ll miss out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

While you admire those with the means and taste to cultivate exceptional collections, you will be more moved by those with a knack for beautifully cultivating the ordinary, elevating what is truly unexceptional.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

What you face today is not a difficult situation, and perhaps that’s the problem. Challenge engages you. Create your own secret goal for the situation.

That will help you wholeheartedly step into the game.

WE’VE MOVED! • Custom Metal Fa brication • Farm Equipment Repairs • Line Boring • Mob ile Truck • Welding Gases & Supplies

5221 Highway 14 So uth • Newton • 64 1-792-0274

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You have so much love to give, and today it radiates from you in many forms, including the words of encouragement you lend, your friendly smile and your other smile -- the one with all the mischief in it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve a kind, soft heart.

However, today it will be very wise for you to avoid getting mixed up with the chronically unlucky types who are perpetual victims and bottomless pits of need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You must fulfill your duty precisely today. If you do more than your duty, it’s interference, and it could upset the balance and undermine others.

And of course you never want to do less than your duty.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll be so attracted to the person who exhibits opposite qualities from yours -- the “yin” to your “yang” or vice versa. You’ll swirl together and help one another roll along.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The obstacles of the day will not be big dull rocks in the path. They are living decision-makers, and they are not stupid. They will yield to influence, persuasion and also stern resolve.
