Challengers square off in hotly contested DMACC election

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News For the first time in 20 years, Joe Pugel will face a challenger for his seat on the DMACC board of trustees. Pugel, who represents DMACC’s District 5, which encompasses the Newton area, has served on the board since 1997 and has been the board president since 2003.

Joe Riding, of Altoona, is challenging Pugel for his seat this year. Another challenger, Jennifer Pryke, a Newton res-

Riding

ident who is a special education teacher at Lynnville-Sully has withdrawn from the race and thrown her support behind Pugel although she’ll still

appear on the ballot. Riding, a former state representative from the 30th district said he decided to enter the race after being asked by friends.

An instrumental part of brokering the deal that saw Maytag donate its former facilities to the community college, Pugel said his record speaks for itself. A Newton resident since 1975, Pugel retired from the Vernon Corporation in 2010.

“I have a real passion for education,” Pugel said. “Helping them get things off the

ground, it really sparked my interest.”

Pugel thinks he’s facing an opponent for the first time in years because he’s been targeted by the Iowa State of Education Association due to anger over the collective bargaining agreement that was passed by the Iowa Legislature.

“There’s some misinformation going around that the DMACC board was supporting some changes in collective bargaining, they never had any say one way or another in that,” Pryke said. “That was

a legislative decision, I know for a fact (DMACC Board involvement) isn’t true.”

While school board elections like DMACC’s are typically nonpartisan, Pugel said he’s seen information on social media that he’s under attack because he’s a Republican, something Pryke believes is unfair. Insisting that he’s the best candidate for the job, Pryke urged voters to back Pugel, regardless of his party affiliation.

Council makes advances Alliance seeks on Newton subdivision to honor Jasper County vets

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News To continue the progress of the Newton Housing Initiative, the Newton City Council approve Sandstone Management of Carlisle to complete infrastructure work at the Fairmeadows North subdivision extension, set to be completed by the end of November.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Carlisle construction company has been selected to complete infrastructure work at the Fairmeadows North extension. A public hearing was held and the Newton City Council approved Sandstone Management for $892,370 out of six bids received at its Tuesday meeting.

“When is the last time we put together a subdivision of this size,” councilman Craig Trotter said.

“This is a milestone, this is fantastic.”

Located in the 700 bock of East 26th Street North, the city has entered into an agreement along with the Newton Housing Development Corporation to purchase the 7.3 acres of land and develop it into a 23-lot residential subdivision. The development extension is part of the city’s ongoing efforts to increase new housing in Newton through the Housing Initiative es-

tablished in 2013.

The engineering firm of Snyder and Associates previously prepared plans and specifications for the subdivision platting for Fairmeadows North Plat 8 construction project. The project includes earthwork, sanitary sewer mains, storm sewer intakes and pipe, pavement subdrain and sump collection lines, water mains and service lines, granular subbase, 7-inch PC concrete pavement, erosion control work and related items.

Two add alternates were also sent out to bid, one for fly ash stabilization of the soil base and the second for early completion of the project. After receiving bids, the city determined the fly ash stabilization was not needed for the project.

The city did decide to accept the second alternative to move up the completion date for an additional $65,000. The original projected completion date for the base project was set for May 15, 2018, but

with the added incentive, it has been moved up almost six months to Nov. 30.

To facilitate the work, the city also approved the acquisition of 1.78 acres of land in the right-of way for the extension of North Seventh Avenue Place East, North Seventh Avenue East and East 26th Street North for a temporary construction easement into Fairmeadows North Plat 8. The addition will provide access for construction of road improvements and the grading of the lots and will be owned by NHDC with no direct costs to the city.

In other business: • The property at 1312 E. Sixth St. S. was approved for purchase at $4,500 in the dangerous and dilapidated program.

• Chantelle Lundberg was appointed to the Newton Community Marketing Board.

As a commercial airline pilot Craig Nida has ferried hundreds of World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials on the national mall.

Thanks to a trip that’s being organized by the Jasper County Veterans Alliance Nida, a former Apache helicopter pilot and veteran of Desert Storm, will have the same chance he’s helped provide for others.

The trip, which is being organized by Doug Bishop, a member of the veterans alliance and

Jasper County Treasurer, will take veterans to visit the unofficial Middle East Conflicts Memorial Wall. The wall, which is located in Marseilles, Ill., was dedicated on June 19, 2004 to commemorate the servicemen and women who have lost their lives in worldwide conflicts since 1979. The project was built with donated material and labor and is the first of its kind in the history of the United States to honor fallen servicemen and women while a conflict is ongoing.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Sept. 6, the 249th day of 2017. There are 116 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shot and mortally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y. (McKinley died eight days later; Czolgosz was executed on Oct. 29.)

On this date: In 1861, Union forces led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant occupied Paducah, Ky., during the Civil War. In 1925, the silent film horror classic “The Phantom of the Opera,” starring Lon Chaney, had its world premiere at the Astor Theater in New York.

In 1939, the Union of South Africa declared war on Germany.

In 1966, birth control advocate Margaret Sanger died in Tucson, Ariz., at age 86, eight days before her birthday. South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd was stabbed to death by an apparently deranged page during a parliamentary session in Cape Town.

In 1970, Palestinian guerrillas seized control of three U.S.-bound jetliners. (Two were later blown up on the ground in Jordan, along with a London-bound plane hijacked on Sept. 9; the fourth plane was destroyed on the ground in Egypt. No hostages were harmed.)

In 1975, 18-year-old tennis star Martina Navratilova of Czechoslovakia, in New York for the U.S. Open, requested political asylum in the United States.

In 1985, all 31 people aboard a Midwest Express Airlines DC-9 were killed when the Atlanta-bound jetliner crashed just after takeoff from Milwaukee’s Mitchell Field.

In 1997, a public funeral was held for Princess Diana at Westminster Abbey in London, six days after her death in a car crash in Paris.

In 2002, meeting outside Washington, D.C. for only the second time since 1800, Congress convened in New York to pay homage to the victims and heroes of September 11.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and Chinese President Hu Jintao, in Sydney, Australia, for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, called for greater international cooperation in tackling climate change without stifling economic growth.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama conceded only halting progress toward solving the nation’s economic woes, but vowed in a Democratic National Convention finale, “Our problems can be solved, our challenges can be met.” Drew Peterson, the former Illinois police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger wife, Stacy, vanished in 2007, was convicted of murdering a previous wife, Kathleen Savio. (Peterson was later sentenced to 38 years in prison.)

One year ago: On the campaign trail, Democrat Hillary Clinton accused Republican Donald Trump of insulting America’s veterans and pressing dangerous military plans, while Trump declared “our country is going to hell” because of policies he said Clinton would make even worse.

Entertainment A slow Labor Day caps a down summer at the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — With no new wide releases, Hollywood basically took the Labor Day weekend off and put an end to what’s expected to be the lowest earning summer movie going season since 2006 — the last time the industry saw a sub-$4 billion summer.

Things weren’t as apocalyptic as analysts suggested going into the weekend, which had the potential to be the worst since 1992, but that’s hardly cause for celebration. While official numbers for the four-day weekend won’t be available until Tuesday, studio estimates and projections expect that in total this Labor Day weekend will be the lowest earning since 1998.

“There’s no sugar coating the fact that this was a very slow labor day weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for comScore.

“This was a fitting end to a rough summer.”

Some did make it out to the multiplexes over the holiday weekend, though.

According to studio estimates on Sunday, the R-rated actioner “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” topped the charts for a third weekend with $10.3 million. The Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds

Trip

“As far as supporting Joe, I know Joe is a Republican, and I’m not, I’m still supporting him,” Pryke said. “That should say something.”

After looking at Pugel’s record, and becoming aware of the time commitments involved in being on the board, Pryke said she decided to withdraw, and she hopes voters will join her in supporting Pugel.

“I am supporting Joe Pugel because I feel like he’s done a lot of good things for Newton, and I’ve seen those things,” Pryke said.

Pugel admitted he thought about hanging it up once he realized he’d be facing a competitor for the first time this fall, but he said he feels like there’s still work left to do at DMACC. Praising the chemistry he enjoy with fellow board members, Pugel said he can point to an established track record of success at Iowa’s largest community college.

“We’re the largest community college, we have the lowest tuition in Iowa and the highest bond rating and the lowest tax levy, so our track record is pretty good right now,” Pugel said.

Riding said while he’s still going through the financials at DMACC, he hasn’t seen much, if anything he’d change if elected. It isn’t his style to go “guns blazing” Riding said, but he had nothing but praise for the DMACC board. Still, he’s looking to make an impact, and for Riding, there’s no better place than the local level.

“It’s your local city council and school board, they spend approximately 51 percent of your property tax dollars, they have the most daily impact on your life,” Riding said.

For Nida, the trip represents a chance to connect with fellow veterans, many of whom he’s lost contact with over the years.

“I’m looking forward to reconnecting with fellow vets and being around like minded people,” Nida said. “I don’t belong to any of the organizations, and since I retired I’m really not that connected with other vets.”

Membership in the Jasper County Veterans Alliance isn’t a requirement to participate in the bus trip, veterans need only be living in the county, or to have started their service while a resident of Jasper County.

Bishop said it’s an opportunity for the Alliance and the local American Legion to get connected with and give back to younger veterans.

“It’s a younger crew, our thought is that we want to get them out there before they’re 70 or 80 years old like the flights are,” Bishop said. “Who

“There’s zero cost to veterans, clothing, meals, drinks, everything is taken care of,” Bishop said.

For Nida, the trip represents a chance to close the circle. After seeing the effect that the Freedom Flights had on the Greatest Generation veterans, he’s hoping he’ll feel those same emotions as he stands in front of the memorial wall in Illinois.

Sullivan said Newton Main Street has been to several communities that have created pedestrian alleyways into event spaces and they thought the idea would fit perfectly in Newton.

“We want people to hang out and enjoy the downtown,” Sullivan said. “Our goal for this project is to create a place the community can use as a gathering space for small events and outdoor eating.”

A well-known muralist in downtown Des Moines put together a concept for a mural, which will go on the side of the Uncle Nancy’s building.

“We are working with Bolton and Menk to draw design concepts to change the drainage and concrete in the alleyway

and our district, I believe, directly impacts how well they are able support our kids and teach the necessary curriculum to help them succeed.

What is one thing Newton is doing right? Newton, has great people who work in our district. We have awesome teachers across the board, I would gladly have any one of them as my own children’s teachers. We have great principals and individuals working in our schools supporting our teachers and students. No matter who I seem to run into, I’m always surprised by the amount of care and love they have for our kids and their jobs.

What’s one area Newton needs improvement in? Communication. We need to do a better job of communicating within our district as well as between our district and parents. If communication was improved upon on both sides of the table from board, admin, principals, teachers and parents we have a greater chance of understanding what is going on in our district and why.

What’s your vision for the future of Newton schools?

so that its more conducive to having tables and chairs placed in it,” Sullivan said.

“We are wanting to add tables, chairs, art work, lighting and plantings to the transformed space.”

Sullivan said the city engineers will have a layout of the proposed space at the event.

“Residents should support this because it’s the only pedestrian alleyway on the square and is a very visible and a well-traveled area,” Sullivan said. “It would give people a place to eat their lunch, sit and read or just enjoy downtown a little bit longer.”

I think Newton is a pretty great place to raise our kids, but I would love to see Newton known for outstanding acceptance of all students and having creative methods for teaching our kids. Growing up can be hard enough, but having a place where kids can come and feel welcome and accepted is important in my book. A child shouldn’t feel they are unwanted or not worthy of someone’s time and effort and unfortunately some kids get this at home. Let’s make sure when they set foot in the school doors they know they have someone who cares for them and wants to see them succeed. Let’s get creative about ways to teach our kids and make sure that they aren’t lacking necessary tools to learn and grow. Supporting our teachers creative abilities to come up with innovative ways for them to teach would help to insure a learning environment you won’t find in every district across Iowa With state revenue shrinking, Iowa’s public education funding levels are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

As taxpayers, we expect that the state of Iowa is spending our dollars in ways that will support our economy and future generations through state programs necessary to the citizens of this state.

However, we can’t all agree on what those programs are and how that money is spent. We will never agree wholeheartedly on the same things across the state, it’s just human nature to think our way is the best way. I would love to say that there will come a time when people will put aside their egos and accept that investing in our future generations through schools and programs that support our kids is common sense politics, but I would be wrong and there’s bound to be someone who would disagree with me. We can only control how we as a district are good steward of our taxpayers money and how we spend it. So it’s important for us as a district to spend our money wisely and in ways that will support our kids.

Editor’s note: This column originally published May 24, 2017. have never witnessed a terrorist attack — a bombing, mass shooting or stabbing, but I think it’s safe to say we have all have watched the recounts of these horrific incidents on our television screens or smart phones. I have, however, met several individuals who have been impacted by a terrorist attack in one way or another during my career as a reporter.

This past Monday there was yet another terrorist attack in the world and even though it wasn’t in the United States, it still hit close to home. It

I

reminded us of the Boston marathon bombings and the shootings in Orlando and San Bernardino.

In my political science class in college, I learned the definition of terrorism is, “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

The bombing in Manchester left 22 young victims dead at an Ariana Grande concert, according to the New York Times. This terror attack reminded me much of the Orlando nightclub shootings in the way that it targeted a demographic of young people.

When I was a reporter for the The Henry Herald in McDonough, Ga. last year, several residents organized a memorial event in honor of the Orlando shooting victims which occurred in July 2016. The memorial drew in a number of residents who had ties to the Orlando community and even drew attendees from Orlando.

There were 49 torches that were lit during the memorial, which represented the 49 individuals who had died in the shooting. Covering this event really opened my eyes to how many families and friends are affected by these acts of violence. I interviewed the Orlando residents during the event, and even though they weren’t harmed directly, it was still saddening to them and “hit home.” One man I interviewed was a part of the LGBT community and had been to the same

nightclub before.

The event drew in the town’s mayor and several officers from the local police department. An Orlando resident had written and performed a song and there was silence, a lot of silence. In the midst of the sadness, I still felt a sense of peace. I think there is something to be said about communities who come together during tragic times.

It makes me think about what will happen next, do we have to be afraid to go to events and gatherings where there are large crowds, to airports and movie theaters? It also makes me think about our country’s leadership and how will President Trump handle foreign affairs and similar tragedies that are bound to come. Will he stand for unity instead of hatred?

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

If Republicans don’t make a move, they deserve to lose Politics is the art of shifting the playing field.

This is an art Republicans simply don’t understand. Perhaps it’s because they spend so much time attempting to stop the Democratic snowball from running downhill too quickly, but Republicans in power have an unfortunate tendency to conserve their political capital rather than invest it. That’s unfortunate because political capital doesn’t accrue when you save it; it degrades. Just as sticking your cash in a mattress is a bad strategy when it comes to investment, inaction in power is a bad strategy when it comes to politics.

Democrats understand that political capital must be used, not to pass popular legislation but to fundamentally change the nature of the political game itself. Democrats do not see Obamacare — a piece of legislation that cost them the House, the Senate and, eventually, the presidency — as a disaster area. They see it as an investment in a leftist future: By making Americans accustomed to the idea that the government is responsible for universal coverage, they understand that any future failures will be attributed to lack of government, not an excess of it. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, understood that in 2013 when he attempted to block Obamacare funding. He quite rightly explained that once Obamacare went into effect, it would be nearly impossible to dismantle it.

That became obvious this year, just four years after its full implementation, when congressional Republicans obviously have no political will to get rid of Obamacare at all.

This is the difference between Republicans and Democrats: Democrats see their radical legislative moves as building blocks for the future. Republicans, afraid that their carefully crafted tower of electability will come crumbling down, make no radical legislative moves.

That basic formula is playing out yet again with regard to former President Obama’s executive amnesty. Obama implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, knowing full well that a Republican president could get rid of it with the stroke of a pen. But he also knew that Republicans would not want to be responsible for changing the status quo — they wouldn’t want to own the political consequences of allowing the deportation of DACA recipients.

And Obama was completely right. Republicans promised for years that they would get rid of Obama’s executive amnesty if given power. Finally, President Trump has pledged to get rid of it ... in six months. And everyone knows that he is willing to trade away DACA enforcement for border-wall funding. The Democratic status quo will win out, one way or another.

Now, quickly: Name the last transformational conservative change Republicans have made — a change to the field of play; any change that would redound to the detriment of Democrats. It’s pretty tough. That’s despite Republican control of the legislature and the presidency from 2002 to 2006; that’s a longer period of unified control than Democrats had from 2008 to 2010.

Republicans have unified control of government once again. But they seem less willing to use it than ever, afraid that their tenuous control will dissipate.

That must end. If Republicans hope to set a foundation for future victory, they’ll need to do more than act as an impediment to bad Democratic ideas.

They’ll need to take political risks in order to shift the playing field itself. If they don’t, they’ll lose quickly. And they’ll deserve to lose.

YOUR VIEW

Pugel is committed to DMACC Joe Pugel, of Newton, has served our community and the entire DMACC area with ability and deep dedication for many years as a DMACC trustee. His board colleagues have repeatedly affirmed his leadership by selecting him to be their president.

Joe is up for re-election on Sept.

12, the traditional date for Iowa School Board elections. Since no Newton district board posts are contested this year, we could be tempted just to ignore civic duty and stay home, but elections have consequences and this is no exception.

For many students and families, our two year colleges pro-

Pugel’s Newton connection is important I plan to vote for Joe Pugel to continue serving on the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) board of trustees.

Joe has capably served on the DMACC board for 20 years. He was elected by his fellow trustees as board president in 2003 and continues to serve in that position in the current term. DMACC is the largest Iowa community college, has the lowest tuition and fees compared to other Iowa

vide an advantageous and economical transition from high school to skilled employment or a full baccalaureate degree, along with service to both the traditional and the non-traditional student. We are so fortunate to have a DMACC campus right here.

Like many public entities, DMACC is facing some big challenges, including serious funding cuts from the legislature, but also some big opportunities. Locally, the former Maytag campus in downtown Newton has recently been given to Newton DMACC. The possibilities this opens to DMACC and its students, its programs and consequentially to the economy of the city, county and area — even the state — are amazing.

Joe Pugel is a key person in

the midst of all of this, interacting and negotiating with state officials and legislators, cities, school boards, colleges and businesses from small to large, all while being keenly aware of the DMACC students, their needs and the operational aspects of the school. Joe describes himself as being “passionate“ about education, is deeply committed to DMACC and he “knows the territory.” He does his homework and gets to the meetings. It is important to our community to keep him on the board at this intense and critical time.

Please join me in voting for him on Tuesday, Sept.12, by absentee ballot or at the polls in the Jasper County Community Building.

post-secondary colleges, has the highest bond rating of Iowa community colleges and has the lowest tax levy assessment of any Iowa community college. It is a well-managed college.

I believe that it is important to have a DMACC trustee from Newton and especially one who serves as the board president. Joe played a significant role in the decision for DMACC to retrain employees displaced when Maytag left Newton. He influenced the negotiation for the Whirlpool donation of the former Maytag building that houses the Newton Career Academy. His leadership contributed to making this educational

opportunity a reality. Finally, he played a significant role in negotiating the gift of the entire former Maytag corporate office buildings to DMACC. Joe has been and will continue to be involved with the City of Newton, Newton Development Corporation and DMACC to see that we attract businesses and organizations to occupy those buildings, bringing new residents, employment and prosperity to our community.

I encourage all voters in this district to vote for Joe Pugel as DMACC trustee on Election Day, Sept. 12.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Sept. 6, 2017

Expectant mother hasn’t told husband he’s not the father DEAR ABBY: I am a mother of three and happily married to my kids’ father. I am now seven months pregnant with my fourth baby, but this child is not my husband’s. My husband is a loving man and a good father. My problem is, I don’t know how to tell him I’m not carrying his baby. The man I slept with is married and always saying he wants to marry me. He has one son with his wife. I love my kids, and I still love my husband. How can I tell him the truth without tearing my family apart? — BIG MISTAKE DEAR BIG MISTAKE: Not knowing your husband, I can’t guess at how he will react when you break the news. I’m sure he won’t be pleased to hear it. Regardless, he must be told, so do it at a time when it’s calm and quiet and you can discuss it without your children running in and out. I am sure he will have many questions — among them, whether you plan to continue a relationship with the child’s father. (Does the man plan to be part of the baby’s life in years to come?)

Because this may have legal ramifications, discuss this with an attorney, who can guide you in case there may be visitation issues, custody problems, etc. lurking just beyond the horizon.

DEAR ABBY: I talked with one of my siblings about having a joint vacation. He suggested all of us get together with our spouses and go on one together. We discussed locations and had a family meeting to discuss the possibility. We’re all in our 50s or older, and some of us have health issues.

There has always been a lot of bickering between some of us because of control issues. I explained to everyone that we can make our

requests for locations, activities, etc., but we all need to be willing to give a little. The bickering is continuing, and some unkind things were said about others.

I just want to plan a fun vacation and have a good time, but I’m worried the negativity will carry over to the vacation. We are all we have left in this world. Our parents died years ago, and since then, one of our siblings has passed away, too. I worry that this may be a last chance for all of us to be together. All but one live within 10 miles of each other, and I’m sad to say we get together only a few times a year.

Any suggestions on how to handle this sticky situation? — IN VACATION MODE DEAR VACATION MODE: Taking into consideration the family dynamics you have described, it’s wishful thinking to believe you can control the way your siblings relate to each other. The reason they see each other so infrequently may have something to do with the fact that some of them are petty, immature and nasty. My suggestion would be to invite only those siblings who can get along with each other and see the other ones separately.

1 Judge orders Des Moines to refund traffic camera fines

DES MOINES — A judge is ordering Des Moines to refund fines issued to hundreds of drivers who appealed speeding tickets they received from cameras on Interstate 235. District Judge Lawrence McLellan ruled Tuesday that the city violated their due process rights and failed to follow its own ordinances by requiring appeals to go through an unauthorized administrative hearing process. He says city code should have required Des Moines to file municipal infractions against those who disputed liability, a process that has more safeguards.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Authorities say a man has been arrested after trying to run over a Council Bluffs officer.

The officer had performed a traffic stop in a gas station parking lot late Monday morning. Officer Mark Archibald says the man he’d pulled over then put his vehicle in reverse and tried to run over Archibald and his bike. Archibald says he jumped out of the way but his motorcycle pushed for about 30 feet before the man sped away.

Employee stole more than $10K from casino WATERLOO — Authorities say an employee stole more than $10,000 from the Isle of Capri Casino in Waterloo. Jerel Harris, 32, is charged with theft. He was arrested Saturday and bond was set at $10,000. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for Harris. Court records say Harris was working alone at the casino around 4:45 a.m. Saturday when he took a stack of cash from the main bank area to his vehicle in a parking lot and then returned.

The theft was seen on video surveillance.

Reynolds agrees with end to DACA; wants Congress to act

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors discusses the change in county ordinance for unpaved roads construction and reconstruction during its meeting on Tuesday.

County moving forward with unpaved roads changes

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A first reading to repeal and amend part of an ordinance related to unpaved roads in Jasper County took place Tuesday at the Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting. The ordinances to establish Jasper County’s policy for the construction and reconstruction of roads, bridges and other roadways has been a hotly debated topic for the board this year.

The level of service will be based on traffic counts, pavement type, roadway geometric and other data used in accepted engineering design for the county engineer, the Iowa Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.

The policy will set the minimum design standards the county will follow for the construction and reconstruction of roads and bridges.

Should a roadway or bridge in question not be able to meet the standard, the ordinance states “the county engineer, in his or her professional judgment, a deviation from the standards is

warranted.” Any deviations must be documented as unreasonable and/or impossible to implement by the engineer and/or board of supervisors.

For unpaved roads, new construction of granular surfaced roads will have a 28-foot finished top. Reconstruction of granular surfaced roads will have a 28 foot finished top and a 26-foot minimum may be used when terrain, right of way or sufficient drainage deems it necessary. Roads with an existing width of less than 28 feet will have a minimum finished top of that pre-existing width if unable to be widened.

There will be two additional public hearings on Sept. 12 and Sept. 29 before the ordinance is adopted.

A public hearing was also held to add three roadways to the Level “B” designation. A 1.02 mile section of North 99th Avenue East near the Poweshiek County line in Hickory Grove Township, .22 miles on West 92nd Street North in Independence Township and one mile on North 35th Avenue West in Sherman Township were approved to move forward with additional public hearings to

change the designation.

Supervisor Doug Cupples asked if all those affected by the change in designation have been contacted and notified.

“We followed all of the required notifications,” assistant to the county engineer Pam Olson said.

In other business: • A contract with MorphoTrak LiveScan Systems for the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office was approved for renewal at $2,736 per year.

• Kelly Yeggy and Brett Michael were appointed as mental health advocates for the Central Iowa Community Services Region.

• Chad Nichol was approved for hire as a secondary roads skilled laborer with a starting pay rate of $21.81 per hour starting Sept. 12.

• Brandon Talsma, Julie Rose, Jeremy Flores and Todd Schippers were appointed to the Jasper County Zoning Commission.

• Larry Ryan and Chris Herbold were appointed to the Jasper County Board of Adjustments.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says she agrees with President Donald Trump’s decision to phase out a program that protects young immigrants from deportation because she believes Congress should address the issue.

The Republican governor told reporters Tuesday it’s Congress’ job to pass immigration law. She wouldn’t specify what lawmakers should do, though she said immigration reform could include a pathway to citizenship for some Reynolds immigrants affected by Trump’s decision.

Reynolds’ comments came after the Trump administration announced it would begin dismantling the program created under President Barack Obama. It’s provided nearly 800,000 immigrants, brought into the United States illegally as minors, a reprieve from deportation and the ability to work legally in the country.

About 3,000 immigrants in Iowa are in the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. On Tuesday, dozens of DACA supporters gathered at the downtown Des Moines federal building, where Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst have offices. They marched around a city block, chanting against the deportation of immigrants, including those brought to the country as children.

Officials concerned about growing inmate population DES MOINES (AP) — Officials of a jail in central Iowa want to open three empty housing units amid an increase in inmates, but county supervisors hope for other efforts to reduce the jail population.

Polk County Jail has seen a daily average of more than 1,000 inmates this year, The Des Moines Register reported. The jail neared its maximum capacity of just over 1,110 inmates at one point this year.

Jail director Frank Marasco asked the county Board of Supervisors in May to open the three housing units and add an additional 15 detention officers to staff them. The three units have space for nearly 100 additional inmates.

County supervisors hope to use deterrence efforts to prevent low-level offenders from ending up behind bars instead of granting the $1.1 million request.

The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is creating a tool to assess an offender’s risk to the community. The tool would help officers determine which offenders can be released early.

The strongest Atlantic Ocean hurricane ever recorded passed almost direct-

France sent emergency food and water rations to the French islands of Saint Martin and Saint Barthelemy, where

Irma ripped off roofs and knocked out all electricity. The regional authority for Guadeloupe and neighboring islands said the fire station in Saint Barthelemy was flooded by more than 3 feet of water.

“Josh ran a very smart race, using great strategy and understanding his strengths. Joseph and Mason pushed each other along almost the whole race and had great kicks to the finish” In the girls’ race, Newton’s runners all posted season or personal best times.

Dallas’ Elliott to play opener SHERMAN, Texas (AP) — An arbitrator denied Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott’s appeal of a six-game suspension in a domestic violence case, but the 2016 NFL rushing champion will play in the opener because of the timing of the decision.

Elliott attorney Jeffrey Kessler told the judge near the end of a nearly 2 1/2-hour hearing in federal court that Elliott’s suspension was sustained by arbitrator Harold Henderson.

U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant said he would rule on Elliott’s request for a temporary restraining order by Friday.

Playmakers emerge for Cyclones in opener AMES (AP) — One of Iowa State’s biggest questions heading into 2017 was whether it could overcome its deficiencies by leaning heavily on its playmakers.

The Cyclones got the answers they were looking for in their opener.

Iowa State turned two interceptions into touchdowns and got two more TDs from running back David Montgomery in last weekend’s 42-24 win over Northern Iowa of the FCS. Jacob Park also threw a pair of touchdown passes to Marchie Murdock and Hakeem Butler — two receivers Iowa State is hoping will break out this fall.

The Cyclones (1-0) host rival Iowa (1-0) on Saturday in what promises to be a stiff early test.

“I think it’s unique that this big rivalry game happens the

Runners Continued from Page 1B ing 32nd in 22:26 and Ashay Malow was 37th in 22:52.

Tessa Keeton finished 55th in 24:16 and Abbie Barr ran 57th in 24:24.

Original Tesfay and Willow Oswalt ran 71st and 72nd, respectively, in personal-best times of 25:55 and 26:03, respectively.

“Clare got out well and then just started moving up throughout the middle of the race, it was fun to see her picking off runners,” Newton’s Tipton said. “Original also made some good moves in the second part of the race and it is exciting to see her go under 26:00.”

Leading the Hawk girls was Mary Kate Shaver running the race in 22:11 for 29th. Abby Gruver was 36th in 22:40 and Megan Van Zante was 43rd in 23:18.

Christine Nikkel claimed

second game of the season.

But I kind of like it,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “It forces your team’s attention.”

Arguably the biggest concerns Iowa State has are at defensive line and linebacker, and the front seven struggled at times in the opener.

The Panthers averaged 5.4 yards a carry, and quarterback Eli Dunne was comfortable enough to throw for 259 yards and three touchdowns despite the fact that Iowa State’s secondary might be its most talented unit.

Iowa State could get a boost this weekend, though.

Kamilo Tongamoa, a highly promising junior college lineman who arrived in Ames late because of academics, has progressed enough to make an appearance on this week’s depth chart.

“They’re so young, and

they’re so inexperienced, I think you’re going to see that group get better and better.

And we’re going to need them to if we’re going to have success,” Campbell said.

Iowa State made costly mistakes in losing to Northern Iowa in 2016.

The Cyclones were the ones forcing game-changing miscues last weekend.

Linebacker Willie Harvey got Iowa State on the board with a 12-yard interception return for a TD — with help from new linebacker Joel Lanning, who was credited with a quarterback hurry on the play — and safety Kamari Cotton-Moya followed with another pick-six just seven minutes later.

Montgomery then helped jumpstart a sluggish offense, leading drives that he ended with short touchdown runs to bookend the halves.

Montgomery, a sophomore who seized the starting job late last season, had 82 yards on 14 carries and is averaging 105.8 yards in his last four games.

“I try to just be me, first and foremost. And second, I just try to be a leader. Coach Campbell really harps and tells me I can be a catalyst in this program and I can really help everybody around me. I just try to make my energy contagious,” Montgomery said.

Murdock, an Illinois transfer in his final season, had three catches — one more than he had in all of 2016.

Butler, a sophomore who began to come on late in 2016, had seven receptions for 75 yards after catching just nine passes a year ago. That’s a good sign for a team looking for ways to keep defenses from focusing too much on star Allen Lazard.

61st in 24:45 followed by Emily Van Gorp in 64th in 24:57.

Ashton Thompson placed 80th in 26:46 and Haley Breeden was 82nd in 26:53.

“Mary Kate led the girls again tonight and continues to look strong. Abby had her best race of the season, really running tough the last two miles. Emily really stepped up tonight for a strong finish as our fifth runner,” Arkema said.

Newton’s girls were seventh in the junior varsity race with 183 points. Pella led the eightteam field with 31 points.

Liz McVey and Jenna Smith paced the Cardinal junior varsity girls, finishing in 32nd and 34th, respectively, in season’s-best times of 26:26 and 26:31. The other four runners all had personal-best times: Tes Schuster in 51st at 28:19, Abigail Adkison in 6rd at 31:17, Jillian Waits at 74th in 34:16 and Sadie Steinbach in 81st in 42:41.

“Tes looked strong today and kept right up with a pack.

It is exciting to see her make the jump and should boost her confidence. Sadie also saw a big time drop; she’s working hard and I’m excited to see where the season goes for her,” Tipton said.

Lynnville-Sully’s Abigail Davis ran 20th, 25:41, in the junior varsity race. Hailey Scandridge was 28th in 26:07 followed by Brittney Hansen in 30th at 26:15 and Hadley Tice in 38th at 27:03.

Newton had two boys race in the junior varsity division.

Trent Hamand was 121st in 24:23 and Dakota Gooden took 141st in 28:44.

Newton’s next meet is at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Oskaloosa. Lynnville-Sully’s teams compete at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Colfax-Mingo Invitational at Colfax.

Grinnell also had middle school races. Newton and Lynnville-Sully had middle school runners competing in the 1.25mile races Tuesday. Newton’s boys took second in their divi-

sion and the girls were ninth.

Astrograph

Attraction isn’t a natural force of the universe; it’s (SET ITAL)the(END ITAL) natural force. With the full moon in Pisces drawing up passionate feelings, the people, work, things and ideas we are very attracted to will have an even stronger pull than usual. This goes beyond a habit of thought or a bodily sensation. Some feelings are more akin to spiritual convergence.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

6). Though you’re a peaceful spirit, metaphorically you’ll change from hunter to trapper this year: You’ll stop stalking what you want and build an irresistible lure to attract it instead. After November’s

victory, your guiding principle will be: How can I help? A path of service will lead to a grand adventure. Leo and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 18, 31, 6 and 22.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll find that you don’t have time to do all that’s proposed, implied or expected. But if you refrain from anything resembling a complaint or a worry, your energy will double up and you’ll be most productive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

What seems precious and limited is not, it turns out, so rare and scarce after all. So if, in the frenzy of production, you

lose a bit of it here and there, don’t worry. There will be plenty more very soon. Keep producing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your inner drive to teach, help and mentor others is stronger than usual today. In fact, if you don’t have people around you who need guidance, you’ll attract some.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Getting things done leads to confidence. Confidence leads to decisiveness. Decisiveness leads to action. Action leads to momentum. Momentum leads to success. So start getting things done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You interrupt the pattern and take control. They don’t know what

you’re going to do next. (You do!) They don’t know what the whole thing is leading to.

(You do!) They’re a little offbalance. (They hold on to you.)

Lead the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Meeting new people will be the highlight of your day. In a way, people are all the same. You find this reassuring. In more ways, people are different, and those subtle differences will be a source of wonderment today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one is holding back with you today. It’s like there’s a collective belief that you’re strong, calm and capable -- that you can handle the good, the bad, the truth. They’re right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

People can count on you to behave in a particular way in most situations. Today you’ll manage to accomplish something very difficult. You’ll be simultaneously appropriate and surprising.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Respect is shown through good manners, common courtesy and adherence to expectations of behavior. Any breech in this regard will pack more punch than usual today, but things go smoothly if you follow the rules.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you recognize the lingering shadow of loneliness over a person or over an area of your own life, let it be an invitation instead of a condi-

tion. Reach out in compassion.

Make a connection.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It starts with curiosity. You really do want to understand your surroundings much better.

As you follow your instincts and impulses you capture the imagination (and support) of others along the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your attitude is a response to your worldview. What you’re learning is changing how you see the world. So your beliefs and, by extension, your attitude will change, too.
