Carpet concerns at Berg Middle School A teacher’s Facebook post causes concern for NCSD board members

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News

A Newton teacher’s concern about flooring in her classroom has caused frustration and concern for Newton Community School District officials after a photo posted on Facebook has gone viral.

The teacher, Lucinda Sinclair, is an elementary special education teacher at the Berg Middle School in Newton. The carpet in Sinclair’s room, along with 47 classrooms was removed earlier this summer. The mastic holding the tile down contained asbestos, and school board officials

said it needed to be removed to prepare for the pending demolition of the facility.

In a Facebook post Sinclair shared a picture of the bare concrete floors, and solicited donations for carpet remnants or rugs. At presstime, the post had been shared more than 80 times.

Sinclair did not respond to an interview request from the Newton Daily News.

Board member Donna Cook praised Sinclair, calling her an “excellent teacher” but said that she was concerned that Sinclair had made her concerns public.

Cook said she had been tagged

Handicapped parking cleaned up in downtown

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city has been working to improve handicapped parking in Newton by reviewing the number and location of spaces in town.

City council passed the third reading of an ordinance adding spaces to city parking lots and removing a space due to an insufficient access aisle.

“Staff received a request to improve handicapped parking in the city owned parking lot located at the northeast corner of First Street South and South Second Avenue East,” city administrator Matt Muck-

in the Facebook post several times by residents, many wanting to know what the school board planned to do about the flooring issue. Sinclair’s lack of communication with NCSD officials prior to posting on Facebook was an issue for Cook.

“Something like this gets the word out quickly, but it’s not effective problem solving,” Cook said. “If there is a need, the board needs to know.”

Cook pledged that while the board wanted to be cost conscious, their primary concern is to put the needs of children first. She said she could see a case for replacing the carpet in the special education rooms, but stressed that the board needed to study the issue to determine the need.

“Give us a chance to address it before you go public,” Cook said.

While Peters said he didn’t expect to beat Loebsack, this time around he feels like he has a fighting chance. In Newton on Monday to collect signatures to get on the primary ballot, Peters sat down for an interview with the Newton Daily News.

The 2018 election will be the third time that Peters has sought elected office, running in 2010 as a Libertarian candidate for the

The Traffic Safety Committee discussed the handicapped parking spaces in the downtown area, finding that as a part of the summer paint program, two additional handicapped spaces were added in the city owned parking lot in the 100 block of South Second Avenue East. With the addition of the spaces, the total number of handicapped parking spaces is increased to four.

The committee also recommended eliminating the handicapped stall on the east side of the 100 block of First Street South.

More than 50 families gazed into the night sky on the Newton Public Library’s lawn Monday to spot Jupiter, Saturn and the International Space Station.

The Newton Public Library invited the Des Moines Astronomical Society for a second year to offer their expertise in finding a variety of constellations, planets and the solar eclipse.

Astronomical members Greg Woolever and Norman Van Klompenburg led the group in a seminar. Van Klompen-

burg, of Newton, said he began his interest in astronomy in the early 2000’s, following his retirement.

Klompenburg said there are several members of the Des Moines Astronomical Society who are Jasper County residents.

“If you have any interest at all in astronomy, the best thing to do is go to the Ashton observatory,” Klompenburg said. “Don’t buy the equipment right away, we have several different types of telescopes you can use for free.”

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Tuesday, July 25, the 206th day of 2017. There are 159 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 25, 1967, a full-page ad in The Times (of London) called for the legalization of marijuana, saying the law against the drug was “immoral in principle and unworkable in practice”; among the signatories were all four of the Beatles, one of whom, Paul McCartney, paid for the ad.

On this date: In 1866, Ulysses S. Grant was named General of the Army of the United States, the first officer to hold the rank.

In 1946, the United States detonated an atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific in the first underwater test of the device.

In 1952, Puerto Rico became a self-governing commonwealth of the United States.

In 1956, the Italian liner SS Andrea Doria collided with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm off the New England coast late at night and began sinking; 51 people — 46 from the Andrea Doria, five from the Stockholm — were killed. (The Andrea Doria capsized and sank the following morning.)

In 1957, Tunisia became a republic.

In 1975, the musical “A Chorus Line” opened on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre, beginning a run of 6,137 performances.

In 1984, Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to walk in space as she carried out more than three hours of experiments outside the orbiting space station Salyut 7.

In 2000, a New York-bound Air France Concorde crashed outside Paris shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four people on the ground; it was the first-ever crash of the supersonic jet.

Ten years ago: A presidential commission urged broad changes to veterans’ care that would boost benefits for family members helping the wounded, establish an easy-to-use website for medical records and overhaul the way disability pay was awarded. The bullet-riddled body of one of 23 South Koreans held hostage in Afghanistan by Taliban kidnappers was found; eight other captives were released.

Pratibha Patil was sworn in as India’s first female president.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama embraced some degree of control on the sale of weapons but also told the National Urban League in New Orleans he would seek a national consensus on combating violence. NBC announced it had topped the $1 billion mark in advertising sales for the upcoming Olympic Games in London, topping the $850 million in ad sales for the Beijing games in 2008.

One year ago: On the opening night of the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia, Bernie Sanders robustly embraced his former rival Hillary Clinton as a champion for the same economic causes that enlivened his supporters, signaling it was time for them to rally behind her in the campaign against Republican Donald Trump. The FBI said it was investigating how thousands of Democratic National Committee emails were hacked (Wikileaks had posted emails suggesting the DNC had favored Clinton over Sanders during the primary season).

Buffalo resident Judith Sobresky says she was pulling up tiles in her basement Thursday when she saw an odd object in the corner. Lodged between the floor and wall was the old artillery shell.

Sobresky called the police after examining it. Buffalo police, the fire department and bomb squad arrived and later U.S. Air Force bomb specialists were called.

Officials took close to four hours to remove the shell.

Authorities say it was taken to a secure location to be detonated.

Entertainment Princes William, Harry remember their final call with Diana LONDON (AP) — It was a typical phone call between two boys and their mother, who was on vacation in France. It was brief — the boys wanted to get back to playing with their cousins, not spend time on the phone chatting.

The brevity of that 1997 call haunts Prince William and Prince Harry to this day — for their mother, Princess Diana, would die in a car crash that night.

“Harry and I were in a desperate rush to say goodbye, you know ‘see you later’... If I’d known now obviously what was going to happen I wouldn’t have been so blase about it and everything else,” William says in a new documentary. “But that phone call sticks in my mind, quite heavily.”

Harry tells the filmmakers the final chat is something he will regret until the end of his days.

“Looking back on it now, it’s incredibly hard.

I’ll have to sort of deal with that for the rest of my life,” Harry said. “Not knowing that was the last time I was going to speak to my mum. How differently that conversation

would have panned out if I’d had even the slightest inkling her life was going to be taken that night.”

The ITV documentary “Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy” is airing Monday on British TV. Excerpts from the film, and new family photographs, were released Sunday.

The show is one of a series of tributes to Diana expected as the 20th anniversary of her death on Aug. 31, 1997, approaches.

It is only in the last year that William and

Harry have spoken openly in public about their feelings about the sudden loss of their mother. William — second-in-line for the British throne after his father Prince Charles — was only 15 at the time.

Harry was only 12.

The documentary chronicles Diana’s charitable works, including her historic outreach to AIDS victims and her campaign to ban land mines.

William and Harry also stress their mother’s fun-loving side, which they say the public generally didn’t see.

“Our mother was a

total kid through and through. When everybody says to me ‘so she was fun, give us an example,’ all I can hear is her laugh in my head,” says Harry.

William tells a story that reveals the privileged life they led as children.

One day, Diana surprised him by having three of the world’s top models waiting for him when he got home from school.

“She organized when I came home from school to have Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell waiting at the top of the stairs.

I was probably a 12- or 13-year-old boy who had posters of them on his wall,” William said.

“I went bright red and didn’t know quite what to say. And sort of fumbled and I think pretty much fell down the stairs on the way up.”

William says he frequently tells his children — Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2 — about Diana so she can be a presence in her grandchildren’s lives.

“She’d be a lovely grandmother. She’d absolutely love it, she’d love the children to bits,” he said.

Local & State News Carpet Continued from Page 1A Construction is already underway to replace the existing school, with school administrators anticipating a move in date of Spring of 2019 for the new facility. Bob Callaghan, the superintendent of the NCSD said that the board decided at their meeting on June 12 not to replace the carpet in the 48 affected classrooms due to cost concerns. Callaghan said that board members felt that instead of spending approximately $2,500 per classroom to replace the carpet, they would carry the savings over into the new building.

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | July 25, 2017 | 3A

“We thought it could best be utilized in the new building,” Callahan said.

In an email to staff members at Berg Middle School on June 6, Callaghan informed teachers that while the asbestos was not hazardous, it would need to be removed from the classrooms prior to the demolition process. Callaghan informed staff that the demolition would take place during the month of July, during which time the classrooms would be sealed off.

On Monday night, Callaghan said he’d been unaware of the Facebook post until he was contacted by WHO on Friday. In his June 6 email to teachers at BMS, Callaghan urged teachers to

contact Principal Lisa Sharp with any questions or concerns, in order to “answer them as quickly as possible and keep the communications channels open.”

Both Cook and Callaghan said replacing carpet in select classrooms at BMS was something the board was willing to consider on a case by case basis, but reiterated that teachers needed to bring their concerns to administrators to address them.

“Absolutely,” Callaghan said. “If someone has an issue, a valid concern, we will consider it.”

observatory. The duo hosts a variety of stargazes there and will offer seminars through October by appointment.

Several attendees inquired about the solar eclipse which is expected August 21. This type of eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth, and the moon fully or partially blocks the sun.

Pictures from the slide show came to life when Klompenburg and Woolever assembled two telescopes on the library’s lawn. Attendees each had the chance to look through telescopes — spotting several planets and constellations.

To end the viewing, the NASA International Space Station, a large spacecraft that orbits around the Earth with several astronauts aboard. The crowd stared from below, many with their phones raised above their heads as they attempted to snap a photo of the space station.

The attendees had to act fast as the spacecraft moves at 17,000 mph. To find out when the spacecraft will be in the sky in your area go to spotthestation.nasa.gov.

Charity and Terry Noe brought their goddaughters, Abby and Carmen Faldlley, to the library with hopes of seeing something extraordinary.

“They are in girl scouts and have been to the observatory before at Ashton Park,” Charity Noe said. “We thought this would be a good follow up.”

Noe said she enjoyed the presentation about the solar eclipse, and she plans to take the day off work to prepare.

“I think it’s great the library brought this program here, it’s not the typical program you always see here,” Noe said.

Public services librarian Rebecca Klein said the event is a popular one. The event has brought in 73 interested attendees the past two years.

“People have been most interested in the telescopes in particular and having the chance to use them... It’s unique and something you don’t always get a chance to do,” Klein said. “We also wanted to time the event right with the space station. It worked out great.”

While Peters may identify as a Republican this time around, he stressed that no party is monolithic, pointing out the ideological differences between Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

One issue where Peters won’t find himself in agreement with the Republican party is his support for medicinal marijuana, which has gained widespread support despite condemnation from Jeff Sessions, the United States Attor-

ney General. Peters said that while he feels more research is needed, he’s open to the idea of allowing Iowans to pursue alternative drug therapies.

“It may be useful in some conditions,” Peters said. “Until we can study it further we’re just making guesses.”

The biggest reason why Peters has decided to run for office is because as an independent thinker, he sees himself as being well qualified to clean up the “political dysfunction and corruption” that he has witnessed.

“common sense problem solving” skills will be an asset in Washington. Peters said he favors allowing market forces to determine the price of health care services, rather allowing price controls to set the market. Making different types of coverage, such as a catastrophic policy with a high deductible, would give consumers more options in the healthcare marketplace.

“I share the same goals as a Bernie Sanders supporter, I want to make healthcare more available and more af-

fordable,” Peters said.

To kick his campaign back into gear Peters is hitting the highways of Iowa in his vintage 1968 Volkswagen bus. He’s hoping that his promise to bring his honesty and problem solving skills to the table will resonate with voters this time around.

Outdoor living

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

F

or the past several weeks, my husband has been working hard on a new deck at our house. While progress has moved along at a bumpy pace thanks to the extremely hot weather and busy work schedules, I can now say we have a very large deck attached to the back of our house.

When we first looked at our house, before we purchased it, we noticed a peculiar feature in the back living room.

There was a door, which if opened, would lead to a steep fall down about 15 to 20 feet to the concrete below. We assumed that a previous owner had the intention to build a deck but never got around to it.

Since there was some interior work we first needed to address in the house, the deck addition got pushed back a couple of years. My mom and mother-in-law were both worried about the door leading to nowhere and the girls becoming curious, so to ease their mind we placed a large bookcase in front of the door.

After completing several of our indoor projects, we decided we would like to start enjoying our massive yard more and started making plans for the deck.

There was a brick patio in place outside the living room with large stones making a staircase down to the garage, which is on the basement level of the

house.

The deck was planned to cover the former patio, landscaping to the south and finally wrap around to the door to nowhere. The drawing seemed to work out so we planned our materials and got to work.

With the busy schedules we always seem to have, finding free time to start on the project was challenging. Finally, after having large stacks of boards in my husbands workshop for about a month, work was underway with post holes dug and the skeleton of the deck formed.

Within a few days, and a lot of hard work by my husband, the framing for the deck was complete, and we realized just how big it would be. I think large is an understatement, and I couldn’t have been more excited.

As the deck boards began to form the top of the deck, my excitement grew. With each one being fastened in

place, the deck grew, forming an outdoor space I know my family will enjoy for many years to come.

We still have some finishing to do, with a railing needed and steps put in place. We are also keeping a close eye on the girls to make sure they don’t get too close to the edge, they are both pretty adventurous.

My thoughts have now turned to the future I can get for the deck. We already have a table and chairs set but I think a nice outdoor couch or love seat would be a great addition.

I really have to thank my husband for all of his hard work. I am pretty much useless when it comes to construction projects and the time and effort he put into this deck in 90 degree heat is amazing and kind of crazy. I am very grateful.

Trump is powerless While other members of the elitist media focus on President Donald J. Trump’s numerous crudities, ruderies and knowledge gaperies, I can see him for his true self.

He is a titan of intellect, a man who wants to make America great again, but can’t.

He is chained, handcuffed, bound, made ineffective.

Is it a Democratic House that has chained him so? No. The House is Republican. Is it a Democratic Senate that has tied his mighty sword-swinging arms behind his back? No. The Senate is Republican, too.

Is it President Obama? No. Obama is out of office, Is it Hillary Clinton? No. Clinton lost.

So, what is it that holds this knight in bondage?

Republicans said that if we’d just give them the House, the Senate and the presidency, stuff would get done faster than an enslaved Chinese worker could sew a tie. An enslaved Chinese worker, by the way, sews a tie every 30 seconds. If she doesn’t, the boss hits her.

And that’s the problem.

Trump is bound, not by legislative bodies, but by parties; not by evil witch-women in pantsuits, but by the Constitution, the courts and the laws.

That’s what keeps America from being great. If Trump could apply the force of his personality to our problems the way that Chinese boss applies his fist to the tie-sewer’s tender little face, America would be rollicking toward a great greatness greater than any greatness before.

Trump said he’d end political correctness, but he can’t just sign one piece of paper and make it OK to call ‘em “coons” again. No! He’s gotta deal with all kinds of laws and rights and votes.

He tried to make everybody named “Muhammad” go home, but as soon as he tried to do the right thing, some musty old judge starting waving a copy of that foolish old Constitution. He tried like hell to fix health care, but his idea had to be discussed and criticized and voted on until it died of shame.

The press does stories on his son’s seven minutes in heaven with the Russians, and all Trump can do is tweet. He said he’d put Clinton in jail, but he can’t because, once again, there’s some old liberal judge with a copy of some old, ragged piece of paper.

But what if he could just incarcerate Clinton, close all the newspapers and have all the Muslims rounded up and shipped somewhere? What if he could order everyone to say “Merry Christmas” this year and not “Happy holidays”? What if he could lock you up for refusing to say “Merry Christmas”?

That would get stuff done, and fast.

It’s just a matter of time until some drooling theologian of the right suggests that Trump needs MORE power, that he can’t reverse America’s decline without “extraordinary powers” and perhaps a “temporary” suspension of the Constitution.

“Of course, Pres. Trump hasn’t reversed the eight years of the suffering we endured under that Muslim Communist fiend Obama,” the Republican party will tell us. “He can’t do that in one term, or even two, and he can’t do it with laws and courts and rights.

“He needs extraordinary powers, just for a little while,” they’ll tell us. “How do you expect him to get anything done with Democrats, and the press and traitors all biting at his heels?

“Just give us your rights for a little while,” they’ll say. “We’ll give ‘em right back. We promise.”

And we will, in a close national vote.

There will be riots, but they’ll stop after the National Guard fires the second or third volley, and the dying squirm in the street. After that, things will get done very fast.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Tired of the hate Trump is not your usual politician you pat on the back or takes on nor takes any guff from anyone. He takes nothing from anyone. I find it refreshing.

He didn’t go on any “apology” tour either and makes us look small.

I am sick and very, very tired of all this “hate” and anger” of anyone that wants to bring “God

and religion” back into school.

I am angry at anyone who is hating anyone that wants justice in the police system and keeps us safe.

I am angry at anyone that hates that Trump has built up our military, stop illegals at the boarders and trying to bring business to our country.

I am very angry he was questioned about his budget. We never had a budget brought to

the House or Congress for eight years prior to this.

Jobs have gone up, the boarders are safer, but all we do is focus on hate. I am sick of it!

We have somebody that is out of the left field I know that (can’t buy him off). But maybe we need that. Buy us and keep us.

We need a tough cookie to keep America safe.

Sherie Pherigo Newton

A bipartisan vote to put the brakes on war One of the few things I recall fondly about the Trump campaign — a short list, I’ll admit — was the candidate’s apparent glee in ridiculing the war-mongering of his rivals and predecessors.

In early 2016, Trump (correctly) summed up George W. Bush’s legacy this way: “We’ve been in the Middle East for 15 years, and we haven’t won anything.”

He ridiculed Hillary Clinton for being “trigger happy” — no standard-issue gibe from a guy who also promised to bring torture back — even while echoing progressive complaints that the $5 trillion pricetag from Bush’s wars would’ve been better spent at home.

And though Trump’s relationship with the Russians has since acquired an unseemly cast, he once offered quite sensibly that “it’s better to get along” with the world’s other nuclear-armed superpower than not to.

Compared to his rivals, Politico magazine once mused, Trump was “going Code Pink” on foreign policy. But what a rose-colored lie that turned out to be.

Since taking office, Trump’s turned virtually all use of force decisions over to his generals.

With the president’s backing, they’ve ordered 4,000 new American troops back into Afghanistan, sent thousands more to Iraq and Syria, and nearly quadrupled

Another View Peter Certo the rate of drone strikes from the Obama administration, which was already quite prolific.

Everywhere they go, they’re escalating the brutality — and we still haven’t won anything.

They cratered Afghanistan with the largest non-nuclear bomb ever dropped. They’ve stepped up support for the brutal Saudi-led bombing of Yemen, where 11,000 have died and thousands more are at risk of dying of hunger and cholera. Meanwhile they’ve brought civilian casualties from our bombings in Iraq and Syria to record levels, inflicting what the UN calls a “staggering loss of civilian life.”

Things are about to get even more dangerous in Syria, as the Islamic State falters and armed factions turn on each other to claim the remains of its caliphate.

Under Trump, U.S. troops have repeatedly attacked pro-Syrian forces — a line Obama never crossed — in a misguided effort to bolster Washington’s favorite rebels, many of whom are fighting each other. That’s ratcheting up tensions with Syria’s allies, Iran and Russia, endangering Obama’s hard-won diplomatic

gains with Iran and even leading Russia to threaten to shoot down American planes.

For Trump, a president lampooned as a puppet of Putin, blundering into conflict with Russia over an empty corner of eastern Syria should be an embarrassing prospect. But Trump seems blithely unaware of the whole thing.

While Trump may be uniquely prone to careless belligerence, the problem is plainly bipartisan: He’s mostly just adding ghastly additions to a war scaffolding the Obama and Bush administrations built before him.

One possible solution? Revoke the congressional war authorization passed after 9/11, which gave the president authority to track down the perpetrators of those attacks. There were 19 hijackers that day, but that law’s been abused to justify military action 37 times in 14 countries, the Congressional Research Service calculates.

Stunningly, on June 29, the House Appropriations committee overwhelmingly approved an amendment from Rep. Barbara Lee to revoke that authority — and then broke into applause. It’s not law yet, but Democrat Tim Kaine and Republicans Jeff Flake and Rand Paul have voiced support for doing something similar on the Senate side.

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

Obituaries Dan A. Wilson June 21, 2017 Dan (don’t call me Danny) A. Wilson, died Wednesday, June 21, 2017, after a fairly long battle with lung cancer.

I was born Feb. 9, 1948, in Grinnell. Shortly after my birth, the hospital was torn down which is a testimony to the rest of my life. The family moved to Newton shortly thereafter.

After graduating from Newton High School in 1966, I went to Morningside College in Sioux City, where I crammed a four-year education into seven years. I graduated from college in 1972, with a BA in business.

Morningside is a Methodist school where I was forced to go to the chapel every week and take one religious course each semester for two years.

Judith McMains July 22, 2017 Judith (Wilcox) McMains, 71, of Kellogg, died Saturday, July 22, 2017, at her home in Kellogg. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, July 27 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton. The family will greet friends from 10-11 a.m., Thursday, July 27, at the funeral home. Memorials to Judy’s family can be left at the funeral home. If mailing, please add, “Attn: McMains Family” to the envelope.

Judy, the daughter

Viva Jones July 12, 2017 Viva Jones was born Sept. 22, 1929, and died July 12, 2017, in Newton at the age of 87. Viva had lived in Newton since 1985, working as a medical records secretary for Dr. Jerry Lewis before

The religion nearly turned me into an atheist. However, in 1968, I met and married Donna Mae Belzer which reinstated my faith.

In 1966, I worked for People’s Natural Gas Company as summer labor. After graduation, I was able to get on with People’s full time.

We had two beautiful daughters in Sioux City, Julie Marie in 1973, and Shelley Jo in 1974. We moved to Omaha, Neb., in 1974, where I went to work for Northern Natural Gas Company which was the parent of People’s. I became manager of the main pipeline.

Then in the late 80s/early 90s, we transferred to Houston, Texas and became part of the Enron fiasco. In 1994, I was laid off after they sucked all my knowledge out.

We went to Cedar Rapids, where I went to work for Iowa Electric Utilities in their gas department. In 1999, we were transferred to Madison, Wis., to Wisconsin Power and Light

in another crappy merger. My boss at the time was a real Iowa hater and made my life miserable. I sold what Enron stock I had and retired when I was 55. My latest hobby is irritating as many people as possible.

I have gotten real good at it.

My survivors are my wife, Donna Mae of Sun Prairie, Wis.; my daughter, Julie of Edgerton, Wis.; and my daughter, Shelley Wilson Bloom and her husband Kelvin Bloom of Honolulu, Hawaii; my sister, Mary Caren Gregory and her husband Everett from Mitchellville; my brother, Jim Wilson and his wife Vicki from Broomfield, Colo. I was preceded in death by my parents, Edwin J. Wilson and Carol S. Wilson and my wife’s parents, Ralph E. Belzer and Francis A. Belzer, all from Newton.

The memorial service will be held at Sun Prairie United Methodist Church, 702 North Street, Sun Prairie, on Saturday, July 29 at 11

a.m. with the Rev. Jenny Arneson officiating.

A visitation will be held from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the church.

There will be no interment since I’m going to be cremated. If you want to see me, you have to come by the house where Donna will have me displayed somewhere. The visitation will be at the church just before services, not going to be much to see though, just an urn full of Dan. Please, no flowers. I hated them when I was alive. Get a plant, name it Dan and slowly kill it or send it to someone you hate. I prefer something given to your favorite charity in my name or use your money to throw a party in my name.

This will be my last letter so let’s end it traditionally. Love you all, thanks for showing up, Dan, Donna, Nick (dog), Norm (cat), Al (cat), Sam (cat), one stupid fish and those stinking snails.

Mixed messages from mom have teen looking for clarity DEAR ABBY: I’m 17. My mom and I often disagree on things. Don’t get me wrong — I don’t care what she does in her free time, but lately I have learned she’s talking to people about bisexuality. I don’t know how to handle this or how to talk to her about it.

I feel betrayed. When I told her I was gay, she rejected my sexuality, and now she’s possibly wanting relationships with other females? Even now, when we watch the news and something about the LGBT community comes on, she still mutters about marriage being between one man and one woman.

I don’t want things to escalate into a big blowup over this because our relationship is just being repaired. Please help me. Am I wrong to be concerned, or do I have the right to be? — TEEN IN DAYTON, OHIO DEAR TEEN: I don’t think it would escalate into an argument if you were to tell your mother you are confused by the mixed messages you’re getting from her. It should be the opening of an interesting discussion, as long as you don’t let it deteriorate into a fight.

It seems odd to me, too, that she would reject your sexual orientation if she’s leaning in both directions herself.

As to her feelings about marriage equality, you might be interested to know that not everyone thinks the idea of marriage (LGBT or otherwise) is appealing. If your mother is interested in open relationships, she may be part of that group.

DEAR ABBY: I went on a road trip with a friend who is normally kind and generous. She insisted on driving the entire way. She often exceeded the speed limit and kept less than 20 feet between us and the 18-wheel truck ahead.

She read texts, answered her cellphone and made phone calls while she was driving. She’s very demonstrative when she talks, so while she drove, holding her cell with her left hand, she’d take her other hand off the wheel

to gesture. More than once she nearly hit a guardrail.

I was so frightened I broke into sobs. She responded by laughing at me! Can you give me a tactful way to tell her how dangerous her driving really is? — TERRIFIED IN MEMPHIS DEAR TERRIFIED: No, because it’s obvious that your friend is in deep denial not only about how dangerous her driving is, but also about how it affects her passengers and other drivers around her. But I can suggest that from now on, YOU provide the transportation if you’re going anyplace together. You were lucky this time. The next time it could cost you your life.

DEAR ABBY: One day, I found two bottles of wine under my husband’s bed. I told him I had found them and he didn’t have to hide wine from me. Yesterday, I found two bottles of beer in his underwear drawer.

This is unusual behavior for a 65-year-old man. He is retired. I am still working. What should I do? — PERPLEXED IN THE SOUTH DEAR PERPLEXED: It’s important that you find out what’s causing your husband to act this way. Notify your doctor there has been a sudden change in his behavior and schedule physical and neurological exams for him. When seniors begin hiding items for no reason, it could indicate the onset of dementia.

Democrats and Republicans are scheduled to meet Tuesday morning to talk about the Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System, also known as IPERS. The agency’s chief executive officer is expected to talk about a study on the system and unfunded liability issues. IPERS has 350,000 members and maintains the state’s largest public employees’ pension fund.

Court records say 27-year-old Jeremy Rose filed a written plea of not guilty last week to one count of child endangerment resulting in serious injury. His trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 26.

Rose was arrested after officers and medics were called the night of June 22 to help the baby, who was having difficulty breathing.

Author Laura Ingalls Wilder will be carved out of butter DES MOINES — The Iowa State Fair’s famous butter sculptures will celebrate “Little House on the Prairie” this year.

Laura Ingalls Wilder will be sculpted out of butter and displayed next to the butter cow when the fair begins on Aug. 10.

Wilder wrote the series of books that formed the basis for a long-running television show, and she spent part of her childhood in Burr Oak. A third butter sculpture will be a replica of the Solheim Cup golf Trophy.

The Iowa State Fair attracts more than a million people a year. Previous butter sculptures have included Elvis Presley and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Court clerks store large amount of evidence due to Iowa law SIOUX CITY (AP) — Eastern Iowa court clerks have amassed a large collection of evidence from criminal cases due to a state law requiring all evidence filed in court to be held well after convictions in case of appeals or emerging technology that could test evidence in a new way.

The law has led to a collection of murder weapons, bloody clothing, drugs and hundreds of photos in a storage room in the Law Enforcement Center basement in Woodbury.

“We call it the drug room, but there’s a lot more than drugs in here,” said Amy Berntson, Woodbury County Clerk of Court.

There have been two recent instances in the state where old evidence was retested with new technology to further prove a conviction.

Two men were convicted in separate cases involving both rape and kidnappings about 30 years ago. They both appealed that there was no DNA evidence that proved they were guilty.

Bloodstained clothing

and other evidence was taken from storage and tested at the state crime lab. In both cases the defendants’ DNA was found, which supported the original convictions.

For major cases where a defendant is sentenced to life in prison, evidence is kept until after the offender dies or a judge allows for the evidence to be released. Evidence is kept for a year after a civil or small claims case’s deposition. Other criminal cases hold onto evidence until 60 days after the defendant’s prison sentence ex-

pires.

The county attorney’s office also has a storage area in the courthouse basement where it keeps items that weren’t used as evidence such as paper records, deposition transcripts, videos, reports and emails.

The clerk’s office sends notices to parties before it gets rid of old evidence.

Parties involved can also request to have personal property returned.

“More than likely people do get their property back,” Berntson said. “We do see a lot of it go back.”

Iowa firm tied to truck deaths has history of legal problems SCHALLER (AP) — The small, family-owned Iowa trucking company linked to the deadly case of immigrant smuggling in Texas has a history of safety and tax violations and financial problems, public records show.

Pyle Transportation Inc. failed to pay federal employment and trucking taxes for years, faced lawsuits from Iowa labor regulators over unpaid wages owed to drivers and has been ordered to pay major penalties for violations of federal safety rules, records show.

The IRS and others who say the company owes them money have often found no assets available to garnish.

The company and its driver insist they know nothing about how dozens of immigrants became packed inside the trailer of its 18-wheeler, which was found parked in the searing heat out-

AP Photo Brian Pyle, owner of Pyle Transportation Inc., the Iowa trucking company linked to the deadly case of immigrant smuggling in Texas, is interviewed by a television reporter Monday in Schaller. The company owned the truck and employed the driver who was found outside a San Antonio Wal-Mart transporting immigrants stuffed inside the trailer.

Pyle denied any knowledge of the smuggling operation, saying he had reached a deal to sell the truck to a person in Mexico in May.

side a San Antonio Walmart over the weekend. Ten of those passengers died and more than 15 others were hospitalized with extreme dehydration, with one passen-

ger telling investigators people were taking turns breathing from a hole inside the trailer.

Pyle Transportation owner Brian Pyle denied knowledge of any human

smuggling and expressed shock and bewilderment over how so many people could have been crammed into a trailer that had his name on it.

“I’m absolutely sorry

it happened. I really am.

It’s shocking,” Pyle said outside the company’s ramshackle office near the tiny downtown of Schaller, Iowa, a village of 750 in the rural northwestern part of the state.

He said he had reached a deal to sell the trailer to a person in Mexico and hired one of the company’s former drivers, James Matthew Bradley Jr. of Clearwater, Florida, as an independent contractor to drive the trailer to a drop-off point in the border city of Brownsville, Texas.

Pyle showed a reporter a copy of what he said was a bill of sale, dated May 10, which contained no sales price. Pyle declined to identify the purchaser or say where in Brownsville the trailer was to be delivered. The county treasurer’s office declined to say whether paperwork transferring the truck’s title had been

filed.

Bradley was charged Monday with transporting immigrants who were in the United States illegally, resulting in the deaths. Bradley told investigators that he was transporting the trailer for his boss from Iowa to Brownsville, and made some stops along the way. He said he was unaware people were inside until he parked and got out to urinate.

The driver claimed he was not given a delivery time or address.

He told authorities that he had stopped in Laredo, Texas — which would have been out of his way if he were traveling directly to Brownsville — to get the truck washed and detailed before heading back 150 miles north to San Antonio. From there, he would have had to drive 275 miles south again to get to Brownsville.

Newton softball players earn LHC honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Four Newton High School softball players received recognition from Little Hawkeye Conference coaches to wrap up the 2017 softball season.

The Cardinals did not have any first-team selections but they have two second-team 2017 All-Little Hawkeye Conference players and two players earning honorable mention honors.

For the second straight season, Newton sophomore Anna Coyle was named to the LHC second team as a pitcher. Joining her on the second team is sophomore Emily Valtman, who played several infield positions including catcher for the Cardinals, as a utility player/designated hitter.

Senior Bailey Davis and junior Taylor Ryan received honorable mention. Davis, who returned to the Newton team after a year off, played in the outfield and infield for the Cardinals. Ryan has held down the first-base position the past couple of years for Newton.

Pella Christian claimed the 2017 LHC title with a 17-4 conference mark followed by Indianola at 16-5 and Oskaloosa at 13-8. All three teams had three players named to the 2017 LHC first team.

Oskaloosa, which was ranked No. 5 in Class 4A’s final regular-season poll, placed third at the 4A state tournament. It was the lone LHC team in the state tournaments.

Pella Christian was ranked No. 4 in Class 2A and Indianola was No. 8 in Class 5A. Dallas Center-Grimes, which was ranked No. 13 in Class 4A, finished fourth in the LHC standings at 12-9 and Norwalk was fifth at 11-10 as both teams had two members named to the first team. Lastplace Grinnell went 1-20 and had one player received firstteam honors.

Twelve area athletes named to All-SICL baseball teams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The only thing that separated Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo during South Iowa Cedar League play this season was a forfeited game by the Tigerhawks in the conference finale.

The first-place finish gave the Hawks four first-team all-conference selections, but both teams landed six on the three teams.

Lynnville-Sully coach Bob Scandridge was named SICL coach of the year after guiding the Hawks to their first conference title in several years.

The first-team selections from Lynnville-Sully included seniors Caden Dunsbergen and Tyler Van Zante and juniors Carson Dunsbergen and Elijah Collins.

Colfax-Mingo juniors Jonathan Jacobs and Misha Seebeck also were first-team selections.

The Tigerhawks also placed sophomore Zarek Hill and freshman Trystin Ross on the second team.

Tigerhawk seniors Adam Teed and Jimmy Camp were honorable mention selections.

AP Photo Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz speaks at Big Ten Media Day in Chicago on Monday. Ferentz begins his 19th season as Hawkeye head coach.

Iowa’s Ferentz has longest FBS tenure

CHICAGO (AP) — Kirk Ferentz enters his 19th season as Iowa as the longest tenured Bowl Subdivision coach in the country. He isn’t dwelling much on his longevity.

“I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about it,” Ferentz said Monday at Big Ten media days.

“I feel very, very fortunate. This will be my, I guess, 28th year at Iowa and feel fortunate that, in 1981, I somehow, some way, ended up there as an assistant.”

Bob Stoops was the longest-tenured active coach in major college football, taking the job at Oklahoma a day before Ferentz started at Iowa. But Stoops retired this summer after 18 seasons, leaving the stage to Ferentz.

The Hawkeyes are coming off an 8-5 season and Ferentz has promoted his son, Brian, to run the offense.

Former coordinator Ken O’Keefe is

back as the quarterbacks coach in hopes of sparking what has been a lackluster offense.

Ferentz, who is 135-92 at Iowa, recalled Stoops and called him a good friend.

Stoops was a player at Iowa when Ferentz arrived in 1981 and they later worked together.

“So in my mind, we lost one of the good coaches in this game, one of the best coaches that’s ever coached,” Ferentz said. “But I’m happy for him. He’s totally at peace.”

Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany praised Ferentz.

“I’ve gotten to know him in a good way over a couple of decades and have tremendous respect for him as a leader of young people and as a football coach,” he said.

“I count him as a friend and I count his contribution as a college football coach among the very best in the country.”

Big Ten announces new TV deals with FOX, ESPN and CBS CHICAGO (AP) — The Big Ten Network will triple its prime-time national TV exposure during football season and add more basketball games in the time slot, thanks to new deals with broadcast partners FOX, ABC/ESPN and CBS. Commissioner Jim Delany made the announcements at the kickoff of the conference media days event Monday.

“College football has never been healthier. It’s also never been more fragile,” Delany said, citing major issues ranging from players safety and lawsuits to more minor conflicts like scheduling conflicts on Friday night with high school football games.

The FOX and ABC/ESPN football deals run for six years, as does the basketball

agreement with CBS. The conference network extended its joint venture with FOX through 2032.

BTN President Mark Silverman said ratings were up 5 percent last season, when the network showed more live events and studio hours than ever before.

He also announced that former Big Ten stars Braylon Edwards of Michigan, James Laurinitis of Ohio State and Corey Wooton of Northwestern will join the broadcast team.

The deals had been in the works for some time.

Delany said a variety of issues had dragged negotiations out longer than anticipated, among them “pushback” from high school coaches and administrators over the conference’s own Friday night telecasts.

Astrograph

Existential boredom is a kind of painless pain, not acutely felt as a sensation but as an ache of the soul. This is why, for many, empty time is unbearably uncomfortable.

However, today, try not to fill it with busy work and distraction that doesn’t mean anything to you. Mercury is crossing into Virgo to inspire the quest for a more fulfilling way.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 25). This solar return you will accomplish one worthy purpose after another. Selfleadership will soon turn into group leadership, as others will want to do what you’ve done. Interpersonal dealings get easier as you learn to

communicate more gently and thoroughly. Selflessness leads to life lessons. Your love life thrives in 2018. Capricorn and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 22, 28, 30 and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

“Motivated reasoning” is when you first decide what you want and then rationalize why it’s a good idea. Your mind will have no trouble coming up with supportive ideas, but are they really, morally correct?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The idea that every moment should be pleasurable is as ridiculous as the notion that life should be pain-free. Ours

check us out at: www.brookermech.com

is, after all, an existence of contrast. There is no pleasure without pain, no light without darkness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Savvy hotel guests know that when travel-mates and roommates need space from each other, the hotel lobby can be a welcome respite. Find your own version of a hotel lobby today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

We get older without trying. We’re drawn to people inexplicably. Our bodies crave what we need; our spirits quest without our consent. There are many things in life that come without effort. All should be celebrated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know who you are, but you don’t know the full extent of either who you are or what you can do until the adventure is “on.” So say yes, and that adventure will launch shortly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

People who are worrying about what they are going to say are usually not very good at listening to what is already being said. That’s why, when you put people at ease, you make them better listeners.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There’s nothing false about hope. It may not change things immediately, but it will change you immediately, and that will change things eventually. Hold on to hope, white-knuckled.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s not the case every day, but today if you aim low and settle for little, you won’t be disappointed, you’re sure to be impressed, and you’ll probably be swept off your feet and into a truly interesting and exciting situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Emptiness is not nothingness; rather, it is space. Space is pure potential. Therefore, do not be afraid to get rid of things before you have a replacement. The void invites a more creative future than you would otherwise know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your head and your heart do not always consult one another before making decisions. You may find them in

conflict today. Sort it out. Your imagination will be a helpful mediator.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You expect yourself to keep your agreements, even when it is inconvenient to do so.

You do not always hold others to their agreements, but you should. Not always, but today, your expectation will make them rise up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Turn up the intensity. Make a play for what you want.

Through a combination of tenacity and keen problemsolving you will make things happen. The result won’t be perfect, but it will be progress.
