Copper Dollar Ranch
Waiting for justice
@newtondnews
Man arrested after death threat By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News
Submitted Photos The families of the victims of the Copper Dollar Ranch murders have waited nearly 32 years to see a suspect stand trial for the killing of Steven Fisher, 20, and Melisa Gregory, 17. Left: Steven with his sister, Darlene Illingworth; mother, Thelma Fisher; brother, Ron Fisher; and brother Bill Fisher Jr., sitting. Right: Melisa, center, with her brother, Scott Gregory; father, Marvin Gregory; mother, Ida Reynolds; and sister, Lisa Gregory.
Families of slain Copper Dollar Ranch victims hope for closure The following is part one of a two-part series previewing the double first-degree murder trial of Theresa “Terri” Supino, who allegedly killed her estranged husband, Steven Fisher, and his girlfriend, Melisa Gregory, March 3, 1983 at the former Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton. Part one is a historical and emotional account of life since Supino’s arrest from the victims’ surviving family members. In Friday’s edition, Part two will preview Supino’s court proceedings, scheduled to begin Feb. 2 at the Black Hawk County Courthouse in Waterloo. By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News It was nearly one year ago that Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty and the county attorney’s office announced the arrest of 54-year-old Theresa “Terri”
Supino for the 1983 double murder of 17-year-old Melisa Gregory and 20-year-old Steven Fisher at the former Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton. The last time the victims’ families spoke publicly about the murders was during the March 2014 candlelight vigil for Steven and Melisa on the Jasper County Courthouse steps following Supino’s arrest. In a Jan. 17 interview with the Newton Daily News, the surviving family members including Melisa’s sisters Lisa Gregory and Tanna Reynolds; brothers Travis Reynolds and Scott Gregory; Steven’s sister Darlene Illingworth and brother Ronnie Fisher explained how their lives have changed with a suspect in custody. Having Supino off the streets, Lisa Gregory said, has given both families a sense of comfort, and
Samples galore planned for HealthMarket Gala Friday By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Samples and featured foods will be available at the HealthMarket Gala from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday at Hy-Vee, 1501 First Ave. E. Dietitians Jenny Thompson and Emily Ring along with HealthMarket Manager Erin Blank will be available during the free event, which coincides with Taste of Hy-Vee, two days of food sampling from about every department in the grocery store. The Taste of Hy-Vee event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Satur-
day. “When an individual comes into the store on Friday and Saturday they will see a significant amount of sampling, probably from every department,” Thompson said. The HealthMarket Gala will feature specialty items that are found in the department including organic foods, protein bars, allergy alternatives and glutenfree items. “It’s unique and typically there is something about that product that makes it different GALA | 3A
life is moving at a different pace. “I don’t even know where March 3 to today has gone,” Lisa Gregory said. “It has gone so fast for me, and now I’m counting the days (until the trial begins).” “I feel much safer going outside,” Illingworth said. “We live in the country, right next to a church, and anybody can drive and be right at your door. You’d never even know that anyone’s around. That’s always been a concern.” Cold Justice For 30 years, Illingworth said her family knew few details of the murders. It was newly learned Supino and Melisa knew one another and had been feuding over Melisa’s relationship with Supino’s estranged husband. It wasn’t until the Jasper County Sheriff ’s
Office officially reopened the investigation, involving the TNT program “Cold Justice” to provide its investigators with more resources, “all this started coming to light,” she said. Illingworth admitted a distrust for the Supino family, she had no interaction with Supino in the 31 years since her brother’s murder. Thinking about Steven since March 3, 1983, brought dark images of the brutality of his murder. “(The investigation) brought back a lot for me. To think about Steven over the past years is difficult,” Illingworth said. “The thought that comes to mind is how horribly he died. And not able to get that closure.” The week “Cold Justice” filmed, Illingworth was in

Knott retires after 30 years in advertising industry By Kate Malott Newton Daily News In 1985, Ronald Reagan took office, the Kansas City Royals beat the St. Louis Cardinals in game seven of the World Series, Tina Turner had everyone asking, “What’s Love Got To Do With It?”; and a waitress at Mason’s Cafe, Bette Knott, decided to make a career change and began working for the Jasper County Advertiser and Shaw Media. Mason’s Cafe was a popular downtown diner where numerous people went for lunch including employees of The Newton Daily News and Jasper County Advertiser. Knott had known and became friends with

JUSTICE | 8A
After a short foot chase, a 32-year-old Newton man was arrested Monday on a warrant for an incident earlier this month in which he threatened to kill a man. Chad E. Berry, 32, is charged with harassment and assault for the Jan. 18 incident in which police were called to the 100 block of North Second Avenue East. Officers spoke with the victim who said Berry Berry had come to the residence and Berry began hitting the victim. Berry continued to hit the victim leaving red scratches on his nose and red marks on the left side of his face. During the fight, a lamp was broken and Berry allegedly threatened to hit the victim with it. Berry also told a female in the apartment to leave because he was going to kill the victim. When Berry walked outside, the victim managed to shut the door and block it with his body. Berry allegedly produced a large buck knife with a blade approximately five inches long and tried ramming the door with his body to get back inside. He yelled at the victim “let me in [expletive], you’re going to die.” When the victim said he was calling the police Berry left. A warrant was later issued for Berry’s arrest. Early Monday morning, officers observed a vehicle traveling at 60 mph in a 25 mph zone in the 100 block of South Fifth Avenue West. The vehicle turned on to East Second Street South and accelerated again at very high speeds. The officers then turned on the lights and pursued the vehicle. The vehicle eventually came to a stop in a driveway and Berry exited. After a foot chase, Berry was apprehended by the officer. A subsequent search of Berry and his vehicle turned up pills, marijuana and methamphetamine. Berry faces additional charges for possession of a controlled substance, controlled substance violation, driving while barred and failure to affix a drug stamp. He was taken to the Jasper County Jail where he was later released after posting bond.

Upcoming Alzheimer’s Association workshops to teach importance of early detection Current data suggests that because of the increasing number of people age 65 and older in the United States, the annual number of new cases of Alzheimer’s and other dementias is projected to double by the year 2050. The Alzheimer’s Association Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection Matters workshops provide attendees with information about the difference between normal aging and Alzheimer’s
disease, the benefits of early detection, as well as tips for attendees who may be concerned about themselves or a loved one. “Here in Iowa, we have the third highest Alzheimer’s death rate in America,” said Carol Sipfle, executive director at the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Iowa Chapter. “Those that attend these workshops learn that if they receive a diagnosis of
Alzheimer’s or another dementia, there are things families can do together to plan for the future and work towards receiving the best help and care possible.” There will be three upcoming Know the 10 Signs educational classes: 6 p.m., March 3, at Iowa Valley Community College in Marshalltown; 3 p.m., March 5, at Iowa Valley Community College in Grinnell; and 6:30 p.m.,

Game on, health on By Emily Ring, RD, LD Newton Hy-Vee
You are about a month into your resolution to be healthy in 2015. Don’t be sidelined by the big game this year. You can enjoy all the fun and festivities of the big game without sacrificing your own healthy goals. Here are some great tips from the dietitian’s playbook. MyPlate, the USDA’s guidance for healthy eating, is a great tool to keep your game day eating and snacking in check. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables, onefourth with a protein source and one-fourth with grains. How does this translate to the tailgate fare we see spread out on the game-day buffet? Here are some favorites you can’t go wrong with. Guacamole is an excellent choice. Made from avocados, guacamole is high in monoun-
saturated fats, which may help to lower blood cholesterol. You can dip the guacamole with tortilla chips, baked chips or even vegetables like carrots, jicama and peppers. Salsa is always a game-day go-to. A typical salsa is made from tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro and chili peppers, but salsas can also be made from fruits like strawberries, mango, pineapple and blueberries. Just a half-cup is equivalent to a vegetable or fruit serving. Score big with a boost of fiber by choosing a black bean salsa. Sliders are typical fare at any party. They are the perfect portion-controlled meal or snack. Top your favorite slider with some salsa for a Southwest flair and serve on a whole-wheat cocktail bun for some added nutrition. This year on game day, cheer on your team and your health.

In a small bowl, combine tequila, agave nectar, lime zest and lime juice. Stir into fruit mixture. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Serve with jicama slices.

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Jan. 29, 2015 | 3A Local News Three vehicles collide on First Avenue By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Two people were hospitalized following a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of First Avenue West and West Fourth Street Wednesday morning. According to Newton Police Officer Randy Camp, an SUV was heading eastbound and ran a red light, hitting another vehicle, which was traveling north through the intersection. During the collision, the SUV pushed the other vehicle into another vehicle that was stopped at the light heading west, striking it on the front driver’s side. The jaws of life were used to peel back both the driver’s side

The newspaper, editorial, advertising and all, was put together like a puzzle and then shot by camera, Knott said. At that time, Newton had a variety of places to shop: Spurgeons, Leonards, Fashionette, Coastto-Coast, Drug Town, Leutholds, downtown clothing stores and the Newton Mall. With that came a lot of advertising potential. While at the paper, Knott enjoyed her employers and had nice things to say about Hazel Gildenzoph or E.K. Shaw.

Shaw’s two sons Bill and Bob and remembers the family vividly. “(Bill and Bob) were very, very nice boys. You would never know they were well-to-do, just common. Nancy and E.K. Shaw were just super, super people and raised super boys.” In the middle of her advertising career, Knott decided to sell cars at a local dealership where she said she learned a lot about cars and people, but she came back to the newspaper business in 2005. “Sharon Pritchard called and said, ‘Bette, your old job is open and we would love to have you back,” Bette said. “And John DeGrado called just two or three minutes later and said, ‘Bette, you need to get back here. We want to interview you.’” Knott came back and

Upcoming travel plans include road trips to Arizona and then up the California coast. On Friday, the Newton Daily News will host a luncheon for Knott’s hard work and dedication to the newspaper. Former employees are invited to attend the celebration. “The paper was a very caring company. Your family comes first. The Shaw company has been a very family-oriented company; but it’s the people, my coworkers, that’s what I’m going to really miss. We’re a family,” Knott said.

Continued from Page 1A from other main stream items,” Thompson said. “We will be really sampling and featuring many varieties of foods from that section. We would like to highlight the dietitian’s pick, which for this month is farrow.” The dietitians will also be available for questions customers may have, along with tours of the department. Although it is small, Thompson said there is a wide variety of products that many people have not heard of or may have additional questions about. Resources for customers to take home including recipes, instructions and advice on how to use the products will also be available. Since a lot of the foods in Health Market are less well known, Thompson said they hope to have many samples because people often like to try things before making the investment in them. “Its important, I know even myself as a shopper, I’d like to try it first before I buy it,” Thompson said. “Often times what we do, if we make something, we make little containers for people to pick up and take. It seems like every time I do a demo or sampling people want to take it home.” The HealthMarket section can be especially helpful for those with allergies, Thompson said. Alternatives are available for milk, gluten and many other common allergies. “If a person is allergic to milk, for example, we have the almond milk, soy milk and coconut milk as well. Then we also have those version in yogurt, sour cream and cream cheese,” Thompson said. Contact Jamee A. Pierson at 641-792-3121 ext. 6534 or jpierson@newtondailynews.com

This is serious business
By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer
www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Jan. 29, 2015
Leaving for three weeks on assignment, there is a thought in the back of my mind: what will be going on at home? I — at times — become a bit obsessive with what goes into the Jasper County Tribune and Prairie City News. I live and breath the news. But when I travel to Waterloo to cover the three-week Copper Dollar Ranch murder trial, I have the utmost confidence in our planning, and the quality journalists who will be delivering our readers the news in my absence. There is, however, another concern and that is on the homefront. What will I come home to when my girlfriend Betsy has no restraints? Here are two possibilities, one if she
follows our lease agreement and one if she takes the document and burns it the second I walk out the door. Burns the lease: I will return to one or more puppies of varying sizes and breeds. Our current agreement does not allow a pup. This has always been an agreed trade-off for the steal of a price, but her persistence to make our home pooch compatible has never ceased. Will I come home to a little wiener dog named Carl staring up an me in the stairwell with eyes that say “I live here now, please love me. Please keep me?” Will there be a fluffy husky who has made him/herself right at home embedding its coat into the carpet as to say:
“I’m everywhere, can’t get rid of me now!” This is probably my biggest fear in leaving for an extended period of time. Will a little furball take my place? If she follows the lease: This one really has nothing do with the rules and regs of our apartment, but it’s a fear nonetheless. My girlfriend has made some tasty dishes, but has never been the most ambitious of cooks. During a particularly stressful newspaper cycle, she once made me Ramen noodles for dinner, but the meal caused us, from then on, to refer to the processed noodle meal as “BetsMush.” We went to Taco John’s instead. This is normally OK, because I enjoy making/ cooking dinner. A caramelizing
onion or club sandwich toasted on one side brings me a sense of satisfaction. I’m afraid I will come home to a stack of Hot Pocket or Budget Gourmet boxes reaching from floor to ceiling. Although I kid, I know I will have a support system at home who will be working hard to make her career goals a reality while reserving time to keep my head up after long days in the courtroom. She may put the Christmas tree back up while I’m away, but no matter what awaits me in Jasper County when I return, I can assure you there is no place like home.

Cervical cancer and HPV— reduce your risk Start the new year with a commitment to learn more about cancer prevention and the steps you can take to reduce your risk. January is Cervical Health Awareness Month and a reminder to all women to talk with your health care professional By Barbara not just about Grassley the causes and Guest Columnist risks of cervical cancer, but also what you can do to prevent it. Learn more about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause cervical cancer and schedule your annual checkup to talk with your doctor. In 2015, it is estimated that 12,900 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,100 will die from the disease in the United States. In Iowa, it is estimated there will be 100 new cases of cervical cancer this year. Despite advancements in screening, there are still many preventable cervical cancer deaths each year if we can raise awareness of the cancer and the understanding of its connection with HPV. What is HPV? HPV is a common sexually transmitted virus. Approximately 50 percent of sexually active people will contract some form of the virus during their lives. Not all types of the virus cause cancer, and many such viruses go away unnoticed.
However, two types (HPV-16 and HPV-18) have been identified as causing about 70 percent of cervical cancer cases worldwide. Best administered before individuals become sexually active, the vaccines available now target these specific types, thus preventing many cancers. Vaccination. HPV vaccines are recommended for both boys and girls starting at ages 11 or 12 to prevent the spread of the virus. Since the vaccine was introduced in 2006, studies have already shown a 56 percent drop in prevalence of HPV in young women. Women who have been vaccinated are still encouraged to be screened for cervical cancer since the vaccine does not protect from all types of the virus that can cause this particular cancer. Get Screened. Cervical cancer can be screened using the Pap test or the newer HPV test. There has been a 70 percent decline in cervical cancer incidence since the Pap test was introduced more than 60 years ago, and it is still very effective today. Some experts recommend that women at age 21 begin cervical cancer screening with a Pap test and repeat every three years. It is preferred that women ages 30 to 64 be screened with a Pap test and HPV test every five years. At age 65, women with normal results can stop screening; however, some women may need to continue screening. If over 65, talk with your doctor about what is
right for you. Patients rarely see symptoms until later stages of the disease, so it is important to be proactive. Risk Factors. While women in general are at risk for cervical cancer, you might be at greater risk if you: • Have HPV • Do not receive regular Pap tests • Begin having sex at an early age • Have multiple sex partners • Have a history of smoking • Have used birth control pills for a long time • Were exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) before birth • Have a weakened immune system • Are overweight or obese If you are at a higher risk, talk with your doctor about getting screened more often. This year, make it a resolution to learn more about cervical and other preventable cancers. Schedule an appointment to talk with your health care professional about what you can do to live your healthiest life. Share this information with your loved ones to help them reduce their cancer risk. To learn more about cancer prevention and early detection, please visit the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s website at www.preventcancer.org. Barbara Grassley is the spouse of Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa. She is a member of the Congressional Families Cancer Prevention Program of the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

Eighty-one year old Joan (pronounced Jo Ann) Millard of rural Mt. Pleasant ans w e re d t h e phone on New Ye a r ’ s E v e . S h e r e c o g - By Curt Swarm n i z e d Guest Columnist t h e voice of her old friend and coworker Mary Ann Young. “You won’t have to go to work tomorrow!” Mary Ann laughed. “What on earth are you talking about?” “They’ve razed our nursing home. It’s on the front page of the newspaper.” Joan checked the Mt. Pleasant News. Sure enough, on the front page, was a picture of the old nursing home she had worked at in the 400 block of South Jefferson Street. A huge track hoe was taking bites out of it like a monster eating sticks. “Well, I’ll be,” she said, as memories came flooding back. There was Glen. Joan had been telling Glen about their contrary milk cow with the long, swooping horns. Later that night, she caught Glen trying to sneak a cigarette. There was a rule that the residents were not to come downstairs at night to smoke. She pulled the cigarette from Glen’s mouth and said, “Glen, what on earth are you doing?” He looked at her and said, “I’m agonna saw them horns off ’n your cow!” Then there was Phil. Phil never came out of his room. One day she saw Phil watering the plastic flowers in his room. Well, that wouldn’t do. There was a space of ground outside the nursing home, between the stairs and sidewalk. Joan dug it up and she and Phil planted pickles and tomatoes. He sat there the whole time until they came up, and then everybody helped themselves. Phil had been a truck-patch gar-
dener. Joan asked a lady resident if she’d like to help fold towels. The lady said she would. The towels had fringe on the edges.Thinking the towels were frayed, the lady cut all the fringe off. The lady had 17 kids. One of the kids that visited her was called “six-and-seveneights.” They had run out of names, so called him by his hat size. One night Joan heard a crash in a room at the end of the hall. The slats had given way in an old man’s bed. The mattress, springs, and slats were all on the floor. The rest of the bed was standing up around him. “What are we going to do?” Joan asked. He looked around him and said, “I’ll just sleep right here. I’ve slept on the floor before.” No one else thought it was funny, except for the old man and Joan. Joan worked the night shift, which was better suited because of her family. To keep herself busy at night, she would scrub the floor with non-skid wax. The other girls thought she was crazy. A husband came to visit his wife in the nursing home everyday. When the nursing home closed, Joan asked him if he ever thought about a private person taking care of his wife. The man took Joan up on it. Joan and her husband fixed up a cute little room for the lady. The lady was a mess, with her hair all wild, and food down the front of her. When Joan got her home, she bathed her and laid the lady across the bed, and shampooed her hair, and gave her a perm. The husband quit coming so often. Joan asked him why. He said, “Well, I don’t worry about her anymore. I know she’s in good hands.” The old nursing home where Joan worked for so many years may be gone. But not the memories. Have a good story?

Woman’s love for boyfriend doesn’t spill over to his son DEAR ABBY: I am in a great relationship with a wonderful man, “Kevin.” He loves me very much and we get along well. I have three kids — two with special needs — and Kevin loves them and treats them like his own. He also has a son, age 6, who has cystic fibrosis. I love Kevin and can see myself marrying him. The problem is, I don’t think I like his son. He’s a good kid, cute and funny, but I don’t feel “love” for him. I’m affectionate with my own kids, but I have to force myself to be with this boy. I am easily irritated by him and sometimes just don’t want to be bothered. I know this sounds terrible, but I don’t know what I should do. I don’t want to end my relationship with Kevin because I’m so in love. But is it fair to stay with him if I don’t love his son, too? — IN CONFLICT IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DEAR IN CONFLICT: Frankly, it depends upon whether you can learn to love the boy. You say you don’t like him. Why not? Is the reason valid? Is he mean, dishonest, spoiled or too needy? Or could it be that he’s a living reminder that your boyfriend once loved another woman? If your relationship is to work, you may need an attitude adjustment. Can you focus on the positive qualities the boy has? That would be a good first step. If not, then for everyone’s sake, end the relationship now. DEAR ABBY: I am 12 and my mom is part of a church group (Unitarian). She recently told me she is taking me to her church where they are making pies for the homeless. Even though this is a nice act, I don’t want to be a part of it (mainly because I am very shy around new people). When I told my mom, she said she thought I was being rude and inconsiderate, and that she would make me
come and ground me if I didn’t go. Is there any way I can explain it to her better? — SHY KID DEAR SHY KID: If you have already told your mother the reason is your shyness, then I can’t think of a way to state it more clearly. She may feel that your help in the project is urgently needed, which is why she’s insisting. Or, she may feel that it might help you to overcome your shyness. Sometimes when people work together for a worthy cause they forget about themselves and their insecurities. I hope you will give it a try — if only so you won’t be grounded. DEAR ABBY: Our waitress in a mid-level chain restaurant was friendly and helpful, but her tongue was pierced with a stud. It impaired her speech, making her hard to understand and it was visible every time she spoke. We are pretty liberal about most things, but it was difficult for us to enjoy our meal. Would it have been OK for us to ask for a different waitress? — PUT OFF IN TENNESSEE DEAR PUT OFF: Yes. If you preferred that another server help you, it was within your rights to ask for one or ask to be moved to a table in another section of the restaurant.

Groups sue EPA seeking livestock farm air quality standards The Associated Press DES MOINES — A coalition of environmental, animal rights and citizen action groups filed two lawsuits Wednesday alleging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is failing to address air pollution problems from large-scale livestock farms. The lawsuits, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia, say the EPA has not responded to petitions filed in 2009 and 2011 by the Environmental Integrity Project and the Humane Society of the United States. Those petitions asked the agency to cat-
egorize large-scale livestock farms as sources of pollution under the Clean Air Act, set air quality standards for new and existing facilities and set health-based standards for ammonia. The lawsuits say the EPA failed to take action and ask it to respond to the petitions within 90 days, Environmental Integrity Project attorney Tarah Heinzen said. An EPA spokeswoman said the agency was reviewing the lawsuits and had no immediate comment. Joining the EIP and Humane Society in the lawsuits are citizen groups includ-

ing Clean Wisconsin, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement and the California-based Association of Irritated Residents. They claim ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other manure-generated contaminants in livestock-heavy states such as Iowa and North Carolina — the nation’s top two pork producers — make people sick. “In the last 15 years our enjoyment of the outdoors have been severely degraded due to toxic emissions from the numerous large-scale hog factories that now surround our home,” said Rosie Partridge, a
member of the Iowa citizens group whose northwest Iowa home is surrounded by more than 30,000 hogs. “We are nauseated at times from this choking smell of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia as well as the odor of decaying animals.” Tom Frantz, a farmer and President of the Association of Irritated Residents, noted that the San Joaquin Valley has seen the number of dairies jump in the last decade. “Ammonia emissions from factory farm dairies are causing the highest fine particulate matter levels in the United States, which seri-
ously harms our health while EPA has done nothing,” he said. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association spokesman Chase Adams said beef producers are making improvements without government intervention. They have reduced emissions to water by 10 percent and cut production of greenhouse gases by 2 percent from 2005 to 2011, the trade group spokesman said, citing a report released last year. Spokesmen for dairy and pork producers’ groups did not immediately respond to messages.
NFD responds to chimney fire
The Associated Press DES MOINES — A Sioux City man serving a 50-year prison sentence on a child endangerment conviction may proceed with his appeal based on a claim that police violated his right to remain silent, the Iowa Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. Paul Hill, 25, claimed in his appeal of his conviction that the defense attorney at his 2010 trial should have moved to suppress statements he made to police in which he admitted to striking the child while buckling her into a car seat on Feb. 17, 2009. She died hours later. A district court judge convicted Hill in July 2010 and he appealed. A judge hearing that appeal in 2011 found that Hill had asked to stop at least 11 times during the questioning but a police detective pressed on. The judge found some of the statements at his trial likely would have been suppressed if Hill’s attorney had moved to do so at trial. But the judge concluded Hill probably would have been convicted anyway. A three-member panel of the appeals court hearing the case disagreed and said his statements were obtained in violation of his right to remain silent. “We hold that but for the admission into evidence of defendant’s incriminating statements, there is a reasonable probability the result of the proceeding would have been different,” the court said. Hill is in prison at Fort Dodge. His attorney for the appeal, Hannah Vellinga, declined to comment on the court’s ruling. She said the state could seek to have the Iowa Supreme Court review the decision. A spokesman for the Iowa Attorney General’s Office said it is reviewing the ruling and considering options.

Justice: Family feels relief following Supino’s arrest Continued from Page 1A the middle of radiation treatment. She said the uncertain outcome of the three-week trial could be more arduous than any cancer treatment. The families all feel media coverage over the decades has moved the case forward and kept the memories of Steven and Melisa alive. Ronnie Fisher said without it, he believes they would not be heading to trial next week. “My mom kept calling all the time,” he said. “She kept poking a stick in it to keep it going, which wasn’t good for her, but it was her way of coping.” Lisa Gregory has never been completely comfortable with the attention. Like her mother Ida Reynolds, she has tended to bury the murders deep. But near her death, Steven’s mother Thelma Fisher told Lisa to never stop fighting for justice. “At first, I didn’t want it. I don’t want it splattered,” Lisa Gregory said. “Yes, the coverage has helped. Thelma told me, she pulled me down and said I want you to keep at John (Halferty) and don’t let it go.” Gregory called former Texas prosecutor Kelly Siegler and crime scene investigator Yolanda McClary from “Cold Justice” “awesome” and began to tear up when discussing the happiness the program has brought to families like hers. Illingworth said they did fear the nationally broadcast program would present something which would affect a jury. But the trial’s venue was changed by the courts to Black Hawk County, and they feel the TV program’s resources will continue to bring hope to families. Prior to the first candlelight vigil in 2013, on the 30th anniversary of Melisa and Steven’s deaths, Illingworth and Lisa Gregory had never met. After 30 years of dead-end leads and longing for answers, the families decided exposure was a better alternative than living with a question hanging over their heads. The public display of solidarity was portrayed in both the Iowa news media and on “Cold Justice.” But they’ve never shied away from one-on-one conversations with friends and community members. Ronnie Fisher said if anyone wants to speak about his brother Steven, he’s always been open — conversation could jog someone’s memory to bring needed leads to the surface. He said in the 11 months since Supino’s arrest, those conversations have naturally increased. “I talked to a couple of ladies I used to work with at Maytag the other day. And they said
Steven Fisher and Melisa Gregory they remember where they were when (the arrest) was announced. Kind of like a 9/11. But there was a lot of fear in this town,” Illingworth said. “Since the arrest, I don’t know how many people have reached out to me. Even as children at the time, they said they remembered,” Lisa Gregory said. “A lot of them were coming up to me saying ‘We always knew.’ Nobody before had ever talked about what we thought, what they thought. It was just wasn’t talked about.” Family Ties Steven and Melisa’s mothers, Thelma Fisher and Ida Reynolds, did not live to see their childrens’ accused assailant stand trial. But Lisa Gregory believes, “They know. They’re up there watching.” Steven’s family said a “big blow out” Thelma Fisher had with her 20-year-old son the Christmas prior to the murders was always present. This, Lisa Gregory said, caused Steven to live at their house with Melisa before staying in the camper, where the two were murdered. Photos Illingworth recently found of happier times show her mother hosting cookie parties, all smiles. But after Steven’s death, Illingworth said, her mother “lost her light.” Melisa’s two youngest siblings, Tanna and Travis Reynolds, were only 18 months old and 8 months old, respectively, when their sister was murdered. Through the suspicion and arrest, the two have maintained a friendship with Supino’s daughter, Casey Supino. Tanna said she and Casey discussed Melisa’s murder only once throughout their childhood. “We were both babies when it happened, so we put our friendship above it,” Tanna Reynolds said. “Even after the arrest, Casey got a hold of us and said, ‘I hope this doesn’t change our friendship,’” Travis Reynolds added. Tanna wasn’t aware she had another sister until she was 11 years old. Rummaging through boxes containing old photographs in their basement, a young Tanna found pictures of
an unknown girl on horseback and an autopsy report. She asked her mom about Melisa. Ida Reynolds had never spoken to Tanna about her older sister until the discovery. “I imagine that had to throw you for a complete loop,” Illingworth said to Tanna. “Did it occur to you right away that she was your sister?” “Not really. I don’t remember her. I remember the pictures I see up,” Tanna said. “That’s why I’m really scared because I don’t want to see the other pictures, and I know they’re going to be up (in court), too. I don’t know her that way. I know her now as I see her in the pictures on the wall at Lisa’s (home).” “Then you need to be mindful,” Darlene said to Tanna. “And I don’t know if I can go every day. Just because there are things that I don’t really think that I after all these years need to know — the blood and gore part of it.” What’s bothered Ronnie Fisher following the murders are comments made by his nephew, Steven’s son Rocky Supino, about his paternity. During media interviews and private conversations, Rocky Supino told Ronnie he does not believe Steven is his true father. Ronnie said he once brushed it off as the story his nephew was told by Supino since childhood. But in later years, he began to wonder if his brother and Supino’s marriage was based on a lie. “If that is the case, then my brother and her got married under false pretenses that ultimately three years later led to his death,” Ronnie Fisher said. “That’s the way I look at it and feel now about it. If it is true, two people lost their lives because of a lie. That should have never happened.” Illingworth said Steven always believed he was Rocky’s true father, but Supino would always use their son’s paternity as a way to escalate tensions during an argument. The Trial At the time the family spoke with the Newton Daily News, they were preparing to be
briefed by the county attorney and the sheriff ’s office on the graphic images they could see in the courtroom. Illingworth and Lisa Gregory indicated they are scheduled to testify at some point during the threeweek trial, but so they are not tainted by evidence presented prior to their testimony, the two will not enter the courtroom until they take the stand. “I’m not subpoenaed to testify, so I could be in the courtroom from the start. But I’ll probably wait for her (Darlene) to go,” Ronnie Fisher said. “I don’t want her to go through it by herself.” The memories and details surrounding the nearly 32-yearold murder of his brother are fading for Ronnie Fisher. “My recollection isn’t that clear, and Steven and I were close at that time,” he said. Three decades of life has pushed the events leading up to that night at the Copper Dollar Ranch to the back of his mind. He said reading his witness statements from 1983, the context appears as he would have spoken, but Ronnie said it’s still not the way he recalls the murders. “I don’t want to have to be there (at the trial), but I’ll be there for my sister,” he said. The last time Illingworth saw Terri Supino outside of a courtroom was at a Hy-Vee roughly one year before her mother’s death. The awkward exchange began with Supino running up to Thelma Fisher giving her a hug. “I’ve got a certain satisfaction out of seeing her sit out there (in jail) all this time,” Illingworth said. “Even if she doesn’t get anything more, at least she got to sit out there and think about it for a while. If nothing else happens, I’ve heard she’s spent most of her time hiding in the bedroom and coping with life in different ways.” “Knowing what’s going to come, there’s going to be nothing easy about this. It’s going to be hard,” she said. “I don’t know if I’m prepared for that yet.” Investigators’ resolve Lisa Gregory and Tanna Reynolds credit Halferty’s personal stake in their sister’s murder with finally bringing momentum to the case. Due to the proximity to the trial date, Halferty declined the Newton Daily News’ request for a pretrial interview, but he indicated in the “Cold Justice” episode that he sat next to Melisa during a class in middle school. Calling himself a “shy kid,” he said he remembered Melisa as kind person with a “great smile.” Lisa Gregory said when Halferty became the sheriff ’s
chief deputy, she knew the case would get a strong look. “He said, ‘This cannot sit any more. I want to bring this back,’” Lisa Gregory said. “I truly don’t think anything would have came out if it was not for John.” It is unclear if modern forensic science will play any role in the state’s evidence against Supino, but the families of Melisa and Steven agree that as technology developed it brought increased hope that something could be reexamined. Illingworth said it gave her hope and wishes the same for families and victims of other unsolved cases. She said she always believed a break in the case would come from someone’s heart. “I kept thinking it’d be in the form of someone on their death bed that didn’t want to leave with this on their conscience.” Illingworth said. “And I had high hopes that when this all came about that she would come forward, admit to it and save everybody in our and her family a lot of grief.” Strength in uncertain future Both Melisa and Steven’s family said if Supino is not convicted, they will continue their fight for justice. To Ronnie Fisher, a not guilty ruling would not alter his suspicions toward Supino. That, he said, would take a complete turn in the evidence. “The only thing that would change my mind is if there was another arrest or another conviction. Then I guess I probably would owe her and her family an apology. But I don’t see that happening,” he said. The defendant’s demeanor following the murder, including what Illingworth saw as a lack of remorse during Steven’s funeral and concern about trivial matters such as the couple’s shared vehicle, has always raised suspicion for her. But Illingworth said if proof arose to her satisfaction that cleared Supino, she would forgive her brother’s accused killer. “I would ask for anything. If people remember anything — a strange car in a strange place. I think there are people still out there that might know something,” Illingworth said. “But I’d like to thank everyone for being there for us for all these years.” “Thank you to everyone in the town of Newton,” Lisa Gregory said. “We have a long road ahead of us, but I truly think it’s time for justice.” Contact Mike Mendenhall at mmendenhall@newtondailynews.com MORE ONLINE

Coach Rowray legacy is love of students, game By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News David Rowray never stopped coaching in sports or in life. The late Rowray influenced not only athletes but also students throughout 34 years of teaching, coaching and counseling at Newton High School. His influence reached beyond the classroom, basketball court, football field, tennis court and golf course. According to accounts of Rowray’s life of dedication to education by former students and players, fellow teachers and coaches and family, Rowray inspired those around him to be better people. “He was a fabulous person. Oh, he was intense as a coach, but he wanted us to do our best on the court,” said Chris Barton, a senior player on the 1992 Newton High School basketball team, which qualified for the Iowa state tournament. “We couldn’t have loved him more. I developed a relationship with him after I got out of school. I saw him the night before he died. I really admired him as a coach and more so as a person,” Barton said. On Friday, Rowray is being honored on Newton High’s Legacy Night. Rowray was the Cardinals’ basketball coaching staff as a varsity assistant coach for Roger Slykhuis in 1979, took over the sophomore team coaching duties then moved into the head coaching position when Slykhuis retired from coaching in 1988. Rowray’s teaching and coaching career at NHS was in two stints, broken up by service in the Army during the Vietnam War. He was a new teacher right out of University of Northern Iowa in 1966 when he came to Newton High. Rowray coached several sports including girls golf in the 1960s. After serving in the Army, Rowray returned to Newton and teaching at NHS in 1970. Rowray was a physical education teacher. “Dave and I began teaching together in 1977 when I came to Newton,” said Chuck Knutsen, retired NHS teacher who lives in Arizona now. “He was my best friend. After he retired, we’d go to the Iowa (Hawkeye) games together.” Knutsen said Rowray was the head of the NHS physical education de-

partment. He said there were changes throughout the years, but one thing never changed. “Dave wanted to make sure we gave all the students as many opportunities to do many things. We had a twoweek rotation into different sports,” Knutsen said. “Whether it was in his teaching or coaching, Dave was about doing things the right way.” Rowray coached girls golf, football, tennis, baseball and basketball. Basketball was his passion as a coach according to daughters, Jen Lasagna and Alyson Morrison, and former wife Kay Purtillo. “Basketball and football overlapped and he was very busy. He had passion for both sports but basketball was the sport for him,” Purtillo said. “But more important than the sports were academics to Dave. He stressed to the kids to do their best on the field, court, classroom and life.” Those lessons weren’t lost on Rowray’s daughters. Morrison lives in Waukee and Lasagna lives in Dallas, Texas. Both are attending Friday’s special night for their father, who died in March 2014.
“Growing up, I spent hours and hours in the gym. Dad’s perspective was not about the wins and losses, it was about the love of coaching and the love of the students,” Morrison said. “Oh, he wanted to win. He was very competitive and intense as a coach. “It was about the character lessons basketball teaches. He wanted his players to be good people. Education was big for Dad.” Morrison said she went to UNI for her college degree. She said physical fitness was important to her father. She said she’s not “a teacher,” but has taught group fitness for years. “This is an awesome honor for him,” Morrison said of Friday’s event. “He cared so much about Newton High School and the students.” Lasagna admitted there were times she and her sister were jealous of the basketball players at NHS. “Dad spent so much time with the players. It was tough at times, but what was great is he always allowed us to be part of it all,” Lasagna said. “Even when I was very young, I got to be a
part of the team with Dad. I was very proud of him.” Lasagna said she’d watch as her father inspired young people at school in the classroom and as a coach. She wanted to be like him in that respect, she said. “Dad was loved by his players and lot of them stayed in contact with him after they left high school,” Lasagna said. “We learned it was important to stay focused and address whatever we were trying to accomplish with confidence.” Rowray stressed the importance of education to his students and to his daughters. Lasagna, who went on to receive a masters degree, works in a university setting. “I’m hoping to inspire young people to reach their potential as Dad did all those students at Newton,” Lasagna said. Dick Stiles, of Newton, said he remembers Rowray fondly as a fellow teacher and coach. Stiles and Rowray were assistant coaches of the NHS football team together. Rowray and Purtillo were married for 23 years. They were married in 1986. “Dave just loved

coaching and he loved those kids. It didn’t matter what sport it was, he wanted the kids to do their best,” Purtillo said. “Players knew they had to earn their spot on the team.” Purtillo remembered the weekends of Rowray reviewing game film and she was helping do the team laundry at their home. She said he wore a red sports coat when he coached. “When people saw him in that sports coat, they knew it was game day,” Purtillo said. “Dave’s reward for all the time he spent was the respect of those young men. He loved seeing the great people they became. Former players were always call-
ing him, asking him for advice.” Rowray’s emphasis on education was for him also. He earned a master’s degree and moved into counseling later in his career at NHS, working with atrisk students. He taught driver’s education in the summer. Following his retirement, Rowray was a substitute teacher at Newton. “He always had time for former players like me. You didn’t want to disappoint Coach,” Barton said. “He always wanted the best from us and for us.” Contact Jocelyn Sheets at 641-792-3121 ext. 6535 or jsheets@newtondailynews.com
Quarterbacks poised to lead teams in Super Bowl Sunday PHOENIX (AP) — Tom Brady began winning Super Bowls when Russell Wilson was still a teenager, tuning in to see the big game on TV. “Of course I remember watching Brady,” Wilson said Tuesday. “He won some incredible games. Incredible comebacks. Incredible throws. Incredible plays. Hopefully he doesn’t make too many incredible ones this year.” When Wilson leads the Seattle Seahawks into the Super Bowl against Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday, both quarterbacks

know the outcome will affect the way each is viewed for quite a while. Wilson can become the eighth starting quarterback to win consecutive Super Bowl
championships, and the first since Brady did it 10 years ago. According to STATS, Wilson also would be the first to claim two in his first three years in the league as it is, he’s the first starting quarterback to make it to two Super Bowls that quickly. Brady, meanwhile, won titles in 2002, 2004, and 2005. But since then, he is 0-2 in Super Bowls, with a pair of losses to the New York Giants in 2008 and 2012. “Look, any time you lose the last game of the year,

Djokovic, Keys both loving being in Aussie Open semis MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — It was difficult to tell who was more pleased with reaching the Australian Open semifinals: No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic, advancing to his 25th at a Grand Slam tournament, or 19-year-old Madison Keys, who beat Venus Williams to get into her first. Djokovic was simply overpowering as he beat Canadian Milos Raonic 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-2 in exactly two hours at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday. The four-time champion, who has dropped his serve only once through five matches, lined up defending champ Stan Wawrinka on Friday. “I’m a self-critic, but tonight there was not much I could complain about,” Djokovic said. “From the first game until the last, I played the way I wanted. I feel very good about my game.” Keys overcame a left thigh injury to beat Venus Williams 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, and will next play a five-time Australian champ also named Williams — top-seeded Serena — on Thursday. Keys, who said watching the Williams sisters inspired her to take up tennis, talked about the sheer thrill of being in the final four of a major for the first time. “It’s amazing,” said Keys, who was coached by three-time major winner Lindsay Davenport. “And I get to enjoy another moment next round.” Serena Williams beat last year’s finalist, Dominika Cibulkova, 6-2, 6-2, but she was not 100 percent — she has a cold that made her voice hoarse.
“I’ve been sick the past few days, and it’s just getting worse and worse, but hopefully it will get better,” Serena Williams said. “I heard there’s a virus going around with a lot of the players, and I caught it.” There had been some hope that the semis might feature an all-Williams matchup at a major for the first time since the 2009 Wimbledon final. Serena Williams’ win didn’t bode well for the other three women left — No. 2 Maria Sharapova plays Ekaterina Makarova in the other semi — as in the last five times she has advanced to the semis at Melbourne Park, she’s won the tournament. Venus’ loss ended an encouraging 10 days for the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion. She hadn’t advanced to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam since the 2010 U.S. Open, and struggled to recapture her form after being diagnosed in 2011 with Sjogren’s syndrome, an auto-immune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain. “It already feels like a long season, so many matches in a row,” said Venus Williams, who won the WTA event in Auckland to open the year. “Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep this up.” The other men’s match on Wednesday was also a three-setter, but it got interesting at the end. Wawrinka beat U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (6), letting slip a 6-1 lead in the third-set tiebreaker and eventually needing six match points to close the victory.
Jesperson, Tuttle lead No. 18 UNI over S. Illinois CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — So much for looking ahead. Paul Jesperson matched his season-high with 13 points and Seth Tuttle also had 13 to keep No. 18 Northern Iowa in the hunt for the Missouri Valley Conference title with a 5952 win over Southern Illinois on Wednesday night. The Panthers (19-2, 8-1 Missouri Valley) rallied from their fifth halftime deficit of the season and stayed a game
back of No. 12 Wichita State. The Panthers host Wichita State on Saturday at the McLeod Center, where it is 10-0 this season. The Shockers (19-2, 9-0) won their 27th straight league game Wednesday night against Loyola and lead the Panthers by a game. Jesperson, who had scored 12 points in his previous eight games, made 5-of-6 from the field, including 3-of-4 from the 3-point line in 24 minutes.
It was his longest outing of the season since playing 26 minutes in the win over Iowa on Dec. 20. “We’ve kind of gone with different guys on different nights,” UNI coach Ben Jacobson said. “Not every night does Paul get the kind of minutes it takes to get into a little bit of a rhythm, and help your team, and tonight he did and he came through, big time.”
Super Bowl Continued from Page 1B A victory over the Seahawks would allow the 37-year-old Brady to match his idol as a kid, Joe Montana, and Terry Bradshaw with four rings. But a defeat would drop Brady’s career mark on Super Sunday to .500 at 3-3. “You never get over any of those,” Brady said about the defeats. “As time goes on, you gain perspective and you still had some great years. ... It would be great for this team to try to leave a great legacy.” When he won his first NFL championship in 2002, with a 20-17 victory over the St. Louis Rams, Brady was in his first year as a starter and second year in the league. Initially a backup after being drafted in the sixth round, he took over from injured quarterback Drew Bledsoe — and the rest is history. “Tom Brady’s done a lot of great things over the last 15 years,” Patriots tight end Tim Wright said.
Who would argue? After the usual Media Day fare concerning his favorite music and his hair, Brady got around to taking questions Tuesday about his place in the game. He knows full well that Super Bowl success is a major part of how quarterbacks’ careers are defined. And Brady said he recalls the feeling of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy three times in a four-year span a decade ago. “Those things happened so fast back then. I didn’t even understand what was happening,” Brady said. “It’s not like I didn’t appreciate those experiences. I certainly did. But ... we’ve had two tough ones.” Wilson, 26, has yet to play an NFL season that didn’t include at least one playoff victory for his team. He goes about things a different way than Brady on the field, far more skilled as a ball carrier and on-themove improviser. Wilson can sling the football, too.

How much control anyone really has over the environment is debatable, but one thing is for sure under the sociable Gemini Moon -- confidence matters. Believing you have control over your environment makes you communicate with more confidence and in turn that confident air gives you a greater degree of influence. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 29). Even though it’s your birthday, you want to solve, heal or fix something before you’re really in the celebrating mood. You’ll do it over the next three weeks, and then you’ll be ready for an adventure involving a dear friend and a big project. March and June are the most romantic months. April is home-makeover time. Aquarius and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 41, 3, 33, 35 and 9. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You can devote yourself to others with no loss to yourself. You may experience a loss of ego,
and that may hurt, but loss of ego is not the same as loss of self. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Feeling unequipped? It’s not true! You have enough and you are enough. Anyway, purchases made out of insecurity will always be followed by buyer’s regret. ARIES (March 21-April 19). In business, if a vendor charges significantly lower than competitors, the item or service will be considered “cheap.” Whatever you offer today, check out the going rate and price accordingly. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may feel that your talents and passions are not being properly utilized in your current position, and yet today’s activities only highlight a narrow aspect of the entire job. Be patient. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some people so strongly identify with being a victim that they will unconsciously sabotage
whatever good comes into their experience. This is why you shouldn’t take it personally if your help doesn’t really seem to help. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You hate goodbyes, and yet they have to happen to move on to the next chapter. Cheerful and short will be best, with the additional clause of “Until next time ... “ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though you take the needs and wants of those around you into consideration, the one who will be most affected by your next move is you. Act accordingly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Good news: there is no salvation in the future. Salvation is in the present. Forgive and save. This is the order of the moment. Liberate yourself; do it now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love cannot flourish without space. Some need it more than others. Your
sensitivity to the spatial requirements of others (emotional and physical) will make you a most desirable friend and partner. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Addictive temptations are more dangerous than they seem. The best tactic is to stay away completely. Why make it harder on yourself? Avoid potential trouble by walking the other way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Embracing only the parts of you that you think are acceptable and/ or desirable will diminish your power. Awesome power comes from embracing the good, the bad and the ugly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). What if you came at life like you had nothing to prove? What would you do differently? To be content in oneself “as is” is of life’s greatest satisfactions. Stop the striving for a day, or better yet for a month. COPYRIGHT 2015 CREATORS.COM
