Newton city administrator selected West Branch’s Matthew Muckler to fill position

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The City of Newton has selected a new city administrator following a three-month search.

Matthew Muckler was unanimously chosen from a pool of four finalists and approved by city council at the conclusion of its budget meeting on Monday.

“I believe he brought the skill set, the experience and the enthusiasm that council was looking for in our next admin-

istrator,” Mayor Mike Hansen said.

Muckler comes to Newton from West Branch where he has served as city administrator since Muckler May 2010. He brings along with him his wife, Debbie, and five children ages 16 and younger.

The city agreed to an ini-

tial two-year contract with a rolling agreement in the years to follow. His salary starts at $132,000 per year with no merit or cost of living increases awarded until a performance review in the spring of 2018.

Prior to his time in West Branch, Muckler was the assistant to the town manager in Buckeye, Ariz. and a council administrator in Vigo County, Ind. Additional work by Muckler includes serving as a state representative in the Missouri

Legislature and working as a Russian Linguist in the United States Army.

Muckler received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Saint Louis University and a master’s degree in public administration from Indiana State University.

His credentials include certifications as a Certified Municipal Clerk through the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, an Iowa Certified Municipal Clerk and an Iowa Certified Municipal Fi-

nance Officer through the Iowa Municipal Finance Officers Association.

“I think we found a diamond in the rough,” Hanson said. “(Muckler) just rose to the top.”

Muckler will begin in the position sometime after the end of March but no later than April 15. He will take over for former city administrator Bob Knable who retired in October after four and a half years in the position.

City getting creative to stay on budget

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jasper County Crime Stoppers Chair Abigail Pelzer, along with members of the volunteer board, announce the launch of the program on Monday at the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office.

In a year where initial expenses have exceeded revenues, the City of Newton is getting creative to stay within its budget. Through reallocating funds, doing only what is vitally necessary and looking at the big picture, the city leaders say they are working to stay within the city’s means for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

For the past few years, the city has seen a warning trend develop with budgeting. Interim City Administrator Jarrod Wellik said the city has started to address the issue through finding new revenue sources and re-

ducing expenses.

“When we talk in those terms, it is important to remember there are only a few things we can do. Many of these plans are set in place through contracted labor agreements, so we’re kind of tied into a lot of things in the budget,” Wellik said.

To start, directors throughout the city are working to hold the line on expenses during the remainder of this fiscal year. Also, if possible, they will cap expenditures for only things that are needed to achieve their mission and target a 2 percent saving in their budgets. Those BUDGET | 3A

Three ways to submit anonymous tips for cash reward

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new avenue to help fight crime is now available for the citizens of Jasper County.

Jasper County Crime Stoppers had its official launch Monday at the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, although work to bring this organization to the area started almost a year ago.

“Jasper County Crime Stoppers began meeting last May in an effort to support local law enforcement and help Jasper County become a

safer place for all,” chair of JCCS Abigail Pelzer said.

Following an introductory meeting, a volunteer board set out to bring the nationwide program to Jasper County. The premise behind Crime Stoppers is providing an anonymous way for citizens to inform officers about crime or give tips on crimes that officers are investigating.

Information is received on an anonymous and secure tip line or through a secure web connection STOPPERS | 3A

Industry leaders gather for 2017 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit

In Brief

Now a good time to consider joining a CSA Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members receive fresh produce throughout the growing season

Submitted Photo This year’s Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit will offer a glimpse into the future of ethanol and biodiesel production. The event will go from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Tuesday at the Meadows Conference Center in Altoona.

By Justin Jagler Newton Daily News The 2017 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit got underway Tuesday morning and will continue into the afternoon at the Meadows Conference Center in Altoona.

The summit will take a glimpse into the future of ethanol and biodiesel production and look at new uses for higher blends of renewable fuels.

Lucy Norton, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Managing Director, said the summit will address how to increase production volumes for ethanol. “We’ll have to look at how the ethanol industry is adding value to the production process through the utilization of corn fiber, converting that into ethanol or extracting it for other uses,�

Norton said.

The summit is expected to be a large gathering, attracting people from all over the Midwest. Norton said 12 states will be represented at the event. “Of course, we have joining us again Gov. Terry Branstad and

Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds,� she said. “Our keynote speaker giving the industry keynote, which is titled ‘Making Ethanol Great Again,’ will be Bob Dinneen, who’s the CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association based in Washington, D.C.�

The summit will also provide people in the industry a chance to look at what the export market has to offer, as well as some of the challenges facing the imports and exports of renewable fuels.

Norton said some countries are emerging as new customers for renewables. India is one example, Reynolds said.

The summit will provide a bigger-picture, national view of the renewable fuels landscape. “With the new administration and the new Congress, we’re going to have a round table discussion with some Washington insiders on what we can expect when it comes to regulations that impact renewable fuels, as well as a healthy discussion on the renewable fuels standard under the Trump administration,� Norton said.

Iowa’s farmers are a major supplier of corn and play a crucial role in the production of ethanol and biodiesel. Norton said the renewable fuels industry is very dependent on corn farmers, and corn farmers are very dependent on the renewable fuels industry. “We’ve seen that the market has continued to grow for ethanol over the years,� she said. “There has been steady growth in the demand for corn to go into ethanol processing, so it’s been a good relationship for both the ethanol industry as well as the corn industry.�

The summit’s keynote speech is scheduled for Tuesday morning, followed by discussions on biodiesel and the new administration and Congress. Exports will be the topic of conversation in the early afternoon.

Branstad and Reynolds will speak at 2:30 p.m., and a discussion of corn fiber will follow. The summit will conclude with a door prize drawing at 3:45 p.m.

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey encourages Iowans to consider joining a local Community Supported Agriculture program that will give them access to fresh, locally grown produce throughout the growing season. “CSAs are a great opportunity to partner with a farmer and share in the harvest of fresh, nutritious, locally grown fruits and vegetables,� Northey said. “I know fresh Iowa grown produce may be far from mind during the cold days of winter, but it is a great time to sign-up for a CSA as it gives the farmer more time to plan for the growing season and ensure a good variety of produce for subscribers.�

Through CSAs, farmers sell a certain number of subscriptions, or shares, and then provide a portion of their harvest to those members, typically on a weekly basis, throughout the growing season. This allows the customers to share in the farming risk as they may receive an abundance of produce during good growing years, but less when there are difficult growing conditions.

CSA members typically receive a box or bag of fresh produce, but some farms may offer other products such as eggs, honey, baked goods, meat, herbs or flowers. Most CSAs arrange convenient delivery sites for weekly pickup. In addition, many farmers will invite customers to visit the farm to learn more about their operation. Some also offer discounts to members who work on the farm during the growing season.

Iowa has seen significant growth in the number of CSAs, growing from 50 in 2006 to more than 80 in 2016.

Contact information including website links for CSAs throughout Iowa can be found at www.store.extension.iastate.edu/Product/ Iowa-CSA-Farms-2016-Statewide-List-ofIowa-CSA-Farms-and-Organizers as well as on the Practical Farmers of Iowa website at www.practicalfarmers.org/member-priorities/horticulture/.

Century and hertitage farm owners encouraged to apply for program Applications must be postmarked by June 1, to be recognized at Iowa State Fair “These awards are an opportunity to recognize the hard work and commitment by these families that is necessary to keep a farm in the same family for 100 or 150 years,� Northey said. “If you consider all the challenges and unexpected obstacles each of them would have had to overcome during their life on the farm, it gives you a greater appreciation of the dedication and perseverance of each of the families being recognized.�

Applications are available on the Department’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov by clicking on the Century Farm or Heritage Farm link under “Hot Topics.�

Applications may also be requested from Becky Lorenz, Coordinator of the Century and Heritage Farm Program via phone at 515281-3645, email at Becky.

“Thanks to the work of JCCS volunteers, many of whom are in attendance today, we have obtained software housed right here at the sheriff ’s office, that allows citizens to anonymously report crimes via text, phone or online,” Pelzer said. “These anonymous tipsters who help bring criminals to justice are eligible to receive a reward of up to $1,000 for their assistance.”

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Jan. 31, 2017 | 3A

The mission of JCCS is to empower citizens to make their neighborhoods, schools and businesses safer through anonymous reporting of crime without fear of retaliation.

Fore Seasons owner David Peters said he became involved with the organization because he thought it was time for the county to have this service.

“I wanted to be involved as much as I can to help get it off of the ground,” Peters said. “I think it benefits the community and in a way it could help benefit our business. We (Fore Seasons) were broken into about a year and a half ago so

we want to do whatever we can to help prevent crime in the county.”

Prairie City Police Chief Joe Bartello is also looking forward to the program getting underway. He said he has seen it work well in other counties in the state and hopes for the same success locally.

“I think it is a good program,” Bartello said. “I think a lot of the burglaries, the thefts, where there is property that has to go somewhere for someone to make a profit on it or try to turn it around and use it somewhere else, is what I would probably see it

and scrapes on her hip. Wade suffered cuts to both of his wrists.

The vehicle was totaled and due to that there was no evidence to show he was hit by another vehicle, according to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Wade was arrested and charged with child endangerment and reckless driving. He was released on $5,300 bond the day of his arrest.

Budget Continued from Page 1A numbers are not factored in to the 20172018 budget and would be used to build the fund balance up by the end of the year.

“Another thing we have done is realigned some of our reserves,” Wellik said.

The city had approximately $72,000 set aside to paint the railroad the bridge on First Avenue and with current talks with bridge owner not moving forward, transferred the funds to help cover more immediate costs. Another approximately $30,000 was set aside for D&D projects separate from the funds allocated in the housing initiative that were also moved back to the general fund.

To increase revenues, the city could once again look at a franchise fee to replace the local option sales tax at 1 percent, bringing additional funds to the city without increasing fees to citizens. Additionally, adding fees for various services throughout the city was suggested to increase money coming in.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Newton Mayor Mike Hansen addresses an often heard comment about city spending during the budget meeting on Monday. Hansen said that while it may look like the city is spending a lot of money, and, in fact it is, the money is used to make improvements to the community to help it continue to prosper, move forward and attract people to come and make Newton their home.

The council also decided to hold firm on funds allocated to outside agencies by matching the amount given last year and declining any additional agencies who made requests.

Councilwoman Lin Chapé asked if there are any areas in the budget that have increased dramatically compared to the previous years.

“One area we have seen a very significant increase in is employee benefits,” director of fi-

nance and development Bryan Friedman said.

“The health insurance, that number is a 19 percent increase.”

Friedman said that number has decreased some with efficiencies but that it was still a big number to absorb into the budget. He did say as a result of the lasted round of union negotiations, city employees are now also contributing to the coverage to help offset some of the costs.

community investment plan were trimmed down to what is necessary for the city to accomplish its mission, bringing projected numbers from the high end of $2.5 million to just $600,000 to $700,000.

“We went through an exercise of really prioritizing what are those key, essential pieces of equipment or projects or things that really does not serve well to delay. Things that don’t

make the issue go away by delaying it and could become mission critical as certain pieces of equipment fail,” Friedman said.

Friedman said staff looked at money leftover from bonds or money that could be reallocated within the bond for similar needs totaling about $200,000 and $400,000 to $500,000 of suggested bonding that could be worked in to existing levies without having any impact to the levy for at least a few years.

“It would basically be backloading than borrowing so it is more paid out in future years once other debt has already been paid off,” Friedman said. “It would keep our levy level for this year, next year and the year after that, then would be projected to drop off.”

With the city budget sitting where it is, Mayor Mike Hansen brought up the often heard comment of the city having an “open checkbook” or overspending on the many projects it has undertaken in recent years.

“The beauty of the projects that we have started and that we are pursuing is that they

are in TIF districts. TIF districts allow us to borrow money to use in the district itself and pay it back without impacting the property tax payers outside of that district,” Hansen said. “We’re investing in our community. Communities that don’t invest in themselves die. We’re doing it in a manner that it doesn’t adversely impact our community to our general property tax payers.

“The improvements we are making are necessary and they will continue to be made no matter who is sitting here. It is what communities must do in order to prosper, move forward, attract people to live in the communities and we will continue to do that. But we will continue to do it in a prudent manner and get the best investment dollar for the money that we are spending.”

Projected dollar amounts for the budget or individual department requests were not presented during the meeting.

TV Nostalgia I

am not shy in my love for television. The story lines, variety of content and many platforms I can watch it on bring an endless amount joy to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t just plop down in front of the TV when I get home and forget everything else I have to do in my life. A lot of my “screen time” is on the 3.5 inch by 2.5 inch screen of my phone and most of the time I am listening and not watching.

I did find not too long ago an old favorite was being recorded again on my DVR. By accident the red record button was pushed and “Dawson’s Creek” was once again showing up on my list

on Break” to name a few. I also started watching some shows once they made it to Netflix or Hulu and have continued watching them during their regularly scheduled time. “The Walking Dead,” “Breaking Bad,” “The Good Wife” and “Mad Men” were all streamed and binged before I had to wait week to week to see what would happen.

But back to “Dawson’s Creek.” The show was on while I was in middle school and high school and was on a cable channel that my family did not have. I didn’t start watching the show until a few seasons in when the WB turned into the CW and was available as channel 23 to those without cable.

I had a background on the show since many of my friends had been watching it for years. I was and am firmly team Joey and Pacey and was delighted, spoiler, when it went my way in the finale episode.

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson of programs to watch.

For a while I just deleted episodes that were piling up because I really had no interest in re-watching the show. I’m not sure what brought me to start one up, but once it was on, I knew I was in trouble.

I love watching old shows. Most of the time, it is the first time around for me. Shows that were on in the late 90s or early 2000s, before DVR and when I was in school and typically not home often enough to follow a show from start to finish.

I have watched “The West Wing,” “Lost,” “Friday Night Lights” and “Pris-

Watching the show almost 20 years later, it is interesting to look back and see many of the issues facing the students of Capeside High aren’t that different from what is happening in schools now. It is fun to look back at a time before the internet was widely used, there is not Facebook and cell phones still came in bags for cars.

It also makes me wonder what coming-of-age shows my girls will watch during their teenage years and if they will hold lasting memories like mine did. Who will be their Dawson, Joey and Pacey or my other favorite, Lorelai and Rory from Gilmore Girls.

With so many options on TV ranging from Finding Bigfoot to Flip My Backyard, sometimes it is nice to drive into an old, comfortable favorite.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

He was so tough, I thought he was a hipster “He was so tough, I thought he was a hipster.”

Yeah, you don’t hear that much, the general rap on hipsters being that they’d rather oil their beards than bite off your ear in a bar fight.

My wife likes hipsters.

“They dress so neatly,” she says. “They’re not like those slobs who go to the Walmart in pajama pants with the bottom of the legs all dirty and dragging on the floor.”

I myself am no big-box store baboon in the matter of dress. I once went to the local Walmart after work wearing cufflinks, wingtip lace-up boots and a tweed sport coat with a subtle red stripe woven into the fabric.

“I couldn’t have been safer,” I told my wife later. “Everybody thought I was a parole officer.”

I’m not going to say, “Some of my best friends are hipsters,” either because it’s not true. The first time I lit my pipe and a passing hipster asked me how long I’d been vaping, I quit hipsters.

Then, last week, I learned hipsters are tough. In fact, they’re tougher than a night in a Georgia jail.

When a juice establishment opened near the newspaper where my wife and I work as reporters, I was happy. I like juice. I like orange juice.

I like apple juice. I like grape juice. I like grapefruit juice.

“I like juice in the morning,” I told my wife.

“Maybe they’ll have breakfast, too. You know, bacon and eggs.”

She looked at me like I was a bacon baboon and left the office.

“Try this,” she said when she returned.

In her small, pale hand was a clear plastic cup, maybe a pint. The liquid in it was green, the exact shade of pond water on a 104-degree Midwestern morning after cows have been, shall we say, standing in the water for a while. I know that color. I’ve seen how it’s made.

Understand that when my wife says, “Try this,” I do what she says. If she were to hand me a gallon jug of bleach and tell me to take a swig, I’d say a quick Hail Mary, close my eyes and drink.

I do whatever she tells me to do. We never fight, and I sleep soundly.

I cannot describe the flavor of what she made me drink without referring once again to that tepid Midwestern farm pond and its strong flavor of cow squeezins.

“It’s a smoothie,” she said.

Turns out it had avocado, ginger, mint and some kind of grass, and it tasted as though it had been run through a cow prior to serving.

“Hipsters drink this, right?” I asked.

“Oh, yeah,” she said. “It’s nice to have a juice bar so close to the office.”

It’s not, of course. It’s not nice at all. It’s horrible, and it threatens my black coffee-centered way of life.

But I’ll tell you something: That one goodsized swallow of pond water smoothie taught me that your average tight pants, beard oiled, lightpink gingham shirt hipster is nobody’s daisy.

If you can get up every morning and, right after tasting toothpaste, drink a cup of cow squeezins with a subtle flavor of guacamole, you’re tougher than anyone I know, including one 300-pound guy I know who’s nicknamed “Tiny” and can bite a piece out of a beer glass.

Tiny’s in jail right now. He bit off a guy’s ear in a bar fight. When he gets out, I’m taking him to the juice bar. By then, I’ll be used to drinking cow squeezins. We’ll see who’s tough.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Budget cuts are result of tax giveaways Republican lawmakers announced last week they will slash over $117 million from the state budget in the current fiscal year.

The mid-year budget cuts include an $18 million cut to Iowa’s three state universities, a $3 million reduction to community colleges, $38 million cut to Medicaid and human services and another $5.5 million cut to public safety.

Why is Iowa in the position of struggling to pay its bills despite a relatively strong economy? The cuts come after Branstad and Republicans dramatically increased new tax giveaways to out-of-state corporations in the last few years.

While claiming concerns about balancing the budget, Republicans have also broken their own promise by spending more money than the state takes in for the last three years in a row.

A major tax cut enacted several years ago on commercial buildings and other properties has sliced

State View Rep. Wes Breckenridge hundreds of millions of dollars from the state budget. Signed into law in 2013 by Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, the largest tax cut in state history has gradually cost Iowa more than $400 million over several years. A separate $300 million will hit Iowa’s main spending fund this budget year, and that cost is slated to be permanent for the years to come. The hope that these cuts would grow the economy has not been the case.

After an intense debate in the Senate on Thursday morning, they voted to approve Senate File 130 that seeks to address a budget shortfall of $118 million for this fiscal year. The vote was 28-19, Republicans voting in favor and Democrats against.

The bill is to be debated in the House on Monday. Hardworking Iowans who work in human services, public safety and corrections will be adversely affected.

Community colleges and state universities which Iowa needs to support to build a skilled workforce, will be negatively impacted.

Hundreds of Iowans came to the Capitol this week to stand up for women and stop a Republican bill that would leave thousands of Iowa women without access to critical health care services, like cancer screenings, birth control and STD tests. Instead of listening to these pressing concerns, the Republican subcommittee chair ended the meeting after just 30 minutes and shut down the opportunity for Iowans to voice their opinions.

ANOTHER VIEW

Former Lt. Gov. shares his experience with local refugees

By Bob Anderson Franklin Graham has said that Jesus’ teaching about welcoming strangers had nothing to do with refugees. President Trump obviously agrees with him. I know better.

In 1974, I worked with my church to host a family of Thai Dam refugees. The family had originally escaped Communist rebels in North Vietnam in 1956. Then they were in refugee camps in Laos and Thailand before being selected to come to the United States. The family of eight (including great grandmother, grandparents, parents and two daughters 4 and 2 years old) lived with us for three weeks until our church found them a rental.

Father had worked for our military during the war with Vietnam and could speak English. Since

then we have also helped the father’s family of seven immigrate.

His brother, wife and young son lived with us for three months in 1982 as I campaigned to become Lieutenant Governor of Iowa. We have been honored to attend their family’s high school and college graduations, weddings and even funerals since then.

We took them in, but the Thai Dam refugees were God’s gift to our families, community, state and nation. More recently, I had the opportunity to work with Iraqi refugees in Des Moines. The first family included two teachers. The father’s school had been attacked and the father had been shot. He required a number of surgeries and they were refugees for two years before arriving in Iowa with their four young children. The mom is now a mathematics teacher in the Des Moines

School District and the father has always been gainfully employed. I am sure each of the children will graduate from high school and college.

Like my Thai Dam friends, they will benefit our country for generations.

I believe President Trump’s recent actions to forbid entry to refugees is only an attempt to justify the hatred he spread during his campaign. He compared the risks in Europe where there was not significant vetting of refugees and created fear among his followers in the United States where our multiple vetting system already takes eighteen months to two years.

Through refugee resettlement programs Buddhist, Christian and Muslims have loved one another as Jesus and other religious leaders have taught. Let’s do everything possible to change President Trump’s dangerous decisions and reduce fear and hate in our country.

Bob Anderson lived in Newton when he was Lieutenant Governor of Iowa. He now lives in Gig Harbor, Wash.

She later told police she drank four or so more beers an hour or more before the two beers she had. Libke smelled of alcohol and had blood shot, watery eyes.

Deserted sister doubly angry after brother abandons wife DEAR ABBY: When my children were small, my husband left me. He married the other woman the day after our divorce was final. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me, and I suffered greatly in the years that followed.

Recently my brother did the same thing to his wife of many years. I find myself feeling very angry and hurt that he would do this. He said it was wrong when it happened to me, but now he expects me to support his decision to abandon his wife. He also expects me to befriend his new wife.

I can’t help but identify with his ex. My heart goes out to her, and I’m furious with my brother and his new wife. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Must my loyalty to my family override my principles? — LOYAL TO A POINT IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR LOYAL: That you would identify strongly with your former sister-in-law isn’t wrong; it is normal under the circumstances. Not knowing how close your relationship is with your brother, I can’t decide for you whether blood is thicker than water.

But I can certainly understand your distaste at the idea of befriending the woman he cheated with.

Whichever you decide to do, continue to be kind to your ex-SIL. She needs all the emotional support she can get now that your brother is cozily ensconced in his new love nest.

DEAR ABBY: I have been carpooling with another mom for about a year. I pick her kids up from the bus stop and take them home. We help each other out, but I do most of the carpooling because of “Kathy’s” work schedule.

Because my daughter “Chris” turned 16, she will be driving to school once the weather improves. I told Kathy we have to discuss the carpool situation. By law, Chris will be allowed

to have only one non-family member in the car. She cannot take Kathy’s daughter to and from school because Chris will be taking her best friend.

I feel terrible about it. I am a rule follower and don’t want to put my daughter in an illegal situation. I believe I have given Kathy plenty of time to figure another way home for her daughter. I’m not sure why I feel so bad and am losing sleep over this.

Am I wrong? — CARPOOLING IN OHIO DEAR CARPOOLING: You have been a good friend to Kathy, but her daughter is her responsibility, not yours. You are making Kathy’s problem your problem, and that IS wrong.

Now turn over, go back to sleep and let her solve it.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve often wondered what happens to people with an immediate problem that you are unable to answer in print in a timely manner.

For example, a bride with an upcoming wedding, or someone trying to decide where to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas. Do you write them outside of your column? — JUST WONDERING IN HARRISBURG, PA. DEAR JUST WONDERING: Yes. Time-sensitive questions are often dealt with separately, apart from my column.

Methane fire at pork plant unintentional, officials say MARSHALLTOWN — Authorities say a fire that damaged the JBS pork plant in Marshalltown was unintentional.

No injuries have been reported from the Jan. 23 fire, which took firefighters about three hours to extinguish. Authorities say staffers had ignited a pressure relief torch to burn off excess gas. Some debris in the area ignited as well, and embers dropped and ignited gas venting around a manhole cover. The flames eventually reached gas in the methane lagoon.

Construction halted on Kinnick Stadium house IOWA CITY — The couple building a house modeled after the University of Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium have voluntarily halted construction.

ISU says three students, workers blocked by travel ban AMES — Iowa State University says a graduate student, a postdoctoral researcher and a visiting scholar have been blocked from entering the country due to President Donald Trump’s restrictions on immigration.

Settlement rescinds firing of Iowa State counseling director AMES (AP) — Iowa State University has agreed to rescind the 2015 firing of its longtime student counseling director, who alleged he was let go after warning about potentially dangerous shortages in mental health services on campus.

ISU President Steven Leath signed an agreement this month changing Terry Mason’s dismissal to a retirement, making Mason eligible for medical benefits and a $2,000 payout for unused sick leave. Mason, 61, agreed to drop his complaint accusing the school of whistleblower retaliation, defamation and age discrimination and not pursue any lawsuits.

Mason was appointed director of the ISU Student Counseling Service in 1993 and was later

named an assistant vice president. He was fired in July 2015 by then-Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Hill.

In a complaint filed with the State Appeal Board, Mason said he warned in 2012 that Iowa State’s student counseling center needed more counselors and that it was unable to adequately serve the campus at a time of soaring need.

In a letter to Hill, Mason wrote that it was only a matter of time before a “mental health-related disaster would occur on campus.” According to the complaint, Mason warned in his annual budget request that the lack of funding and services could lead to students harming themselves or others, but that the university agreed to hire only one more employee.

Mason says that his firing came without notice.

As an at-will employee, the university didn’t need cause to terminate him.

Mason’s dismissal letter said only that Hill wanted a leadership change. But the complaint accused Hill of defaming Mason by allegedly telling employees that Mason was an unethical person who couldn’t be trusted. Hill retired as vice president months later but has remained a policy adviser to Leath.

The International Association of Counseling Services honored Mason months after his firing with a lifetime achievement award. He is the current treasurer and past president of that group.

His complaint noted that the association recommends universi-

Expert says super weed in Iowa should not be ignored DUBUQUE (AP) — An invasive weed that can grow up to 7 feet tall has been found in nearly half of Iowa’s counties, and experts say farmers need to act quickly if the plant is found in their fields.

Bob Hartzler is a professor of weed science at Iowa State University. He said the species known as Palmer amaranth shouldn’t be ignored and has the potential to drive farmers out of business.

“One of the problems is that one plant (of Palmer amaranth) produces hundreds of thousands of seeds,” he said. “By just allowing a small number of these plants to survive, it could become a big problem for

the foreseeable future.”

Jon Brown, an agronomy salesman for Three Rivers FS, discovered the Palmer amaranth in a cornfield on the eastern side of the county. He said the cost to treat the problem could hit farmers’ wallets.

“Farmers could see a spike in the costper-acre on herbicides, if they are going to do it right,” Brown said. “And that is what it is going to take.”

The weed prominently appeared in the region’s cotton fields in the 2000s. It was categorized as a “super weed” because of its ability to quickly grow and its resistance to many herbicides.

ties have one full-time counselor for every 1,000 to 1,500 students. Iowa State’s staffing levels were nine employees below that goal when he was fired, it said.

The settlement says Iowa State disputes Mason’s allegations and requires both sides not to publicly disparage each other.

The university is moving to expand mental health services with a $24 increase in mandatory student health fees that will go into effect next school year. The Board of Regents approved the increase last month.

Iowa State spokesman John McCarroll said the new funding would be used to hire three psychologists, two nurses and a psychiatrist, and he noted that the increase was supported by student leaders.

Iowa House OKs $117M in cuts to resolve shortfall DES MOINES (AP) — Republican lawmakers have approved legislation to patch a shortfall in Iowa’s $7.2 billion budget.

The GOP-controlled House voted Monday night for a bill that will cut about $117 million. The Republican-led Senate has already passed the legislation and Gov. Terry Branstad has indicated support.

The reductions require departments to cut about $88 million from the budget that began last July. An additional $25 million would come from various funds and about $4 million would be Heartsill saved from unused tax credits.

The bill includes an $18 million cut to Iowa’s three public universities and a $3 million cut to Iowa’s Judicial Branch, which oversees courts.

“While this was a painful process, it was necessary in order to balance the budget for this year,” said Rep. Greg Heartsill, R-Columbia. “One small consolation is that we were able to hold K-12 public education harmless during this process and the cuts that were eventually agreed to were a lot less than what the Governor originally proposed.”

Republicans say the reductions will minimize the shortfall’s impact, but Democrats argue it will hurt critical areas of government.

Company: Size of diesel pipeline spill overestimated HANLONTOWN (AP) — Pipeline officials say far less diesel fuel than feared spilled from a broken pipeline in north-central Iowa.

Magellan Midstream Partners officials initially estimated that nearly 139,000 gallons spilled when the pipeline broke near Hanlontown on Wednesday.

But the company said

it has reported a new estimate of nearly 47,000 gallons to federal authorities.

Magellan spokesman Bruce Heine said the Tulsa, Okla.-based company reached the new estimate by calculating how much diesel had to be pumped in to get the pipeline back online.

The 12-inch pipeline returned to service Sat-

urday.

Iowa authorities have said the diesel didn’t reach any bodies of water.

Contaminated snow and diesel are being hauled to a facility in Minneapolis. David Miller with the Iowa Natural Resources Department said Tuesday that the tainted soil is going to a landfill near Lake Mills.

National Burn Awareness Week is Feb. 5-11 Newton Daily News A pot of coffee, a bath and a burning fireplace all have the potential to cause one of the most common childhood accidents: burns. National Burn Awareness Week is Feb. 5-11, and a UIeCare health expert says there are ways to help prevent burns from household dangers and shares what to do if your child gets burned.

“Since young children are unaware of danger, they are more susceptible to burn accidents,” said Patrick D. Brophy, MD, MHCDS, professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa and medical director for UIeCare. “Most burn injuries

happen at home, but the good news is that they can be prevented in many cases.”

According to Brophy, there are several ways to help reduce the risk of burns, such as adjusting your hot water heater to 120 degrees F or just below the medium setting, turning pot handles toward the back of the stove or using the back burners when cooking, keeping hot liquids like coffee and tea out of children’s reach, and keeping children away from open flames from fireplaces and candles.

“Unfortunately, accidents can still happen in childproofed homes. It’s crucial to know how to detect the se-

verity of a burn, which can help you decide how it should be treated,” said Brophy. A first-degree burn will be slightly red, warm and tender.

A second-degree burn will be bright red, swollen and blistery or oozing. A third-degree burn will be charred, black, white, leathery or waxy.

Dr. Brophy from UIeCare shares what to do if your child gets burned: • If the burn is second or third degree, itcovers a large area, or is on the face, hands, feet, or genitals, you should call 911 or seek medical care immediately.

• Quickly submerge the injured area in cool water (never

use ice or butter) to help alleviate pain and prevent further progression of the burn.

• Cover the burn with a cold, moistened cloth for about 15 minutes.

• Dry the area with a clean towel and cover it with a sterile bandage.

• If the burn starts to blister, apply an antiseptic ointment and cover the area loosely with a clean, nonstick bandage.

• If your child is in pain, give pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, as directed.

“If a doctor’s care is needed for a minor burn, UIeCare provides a convenient way to video chat with a physician

anytime from the comfort of home,” said Brophy.

UIeCare, one of Iowa’s first virtual care services, makes it possible for Iowans to video chat with a provider credentialed by University of Iowa Health Care via a webcam or smart phone 24/7 from anywhere in Iowa.

The UIeCare service is for minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent, but not an emergency. In addition to minor burns, UIeCare providers can effectively treat fever, flu-like symptoms, pink eye, rash, sore throat, urinary tract infections and vomiting.

Prescriptions can be written if medically appropriate.

Cardinal girls lose lead late at Chariton

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton junior guard Randi Walters handled the ball for the Cardinals. The Newton girls led through three quarters Monday at Chariton before losing 60-54.

CHARITON — Trying to break out of a five-game losing streak, Newton High’s girls went on the road Monday to face a 12-4 Chariton team in non-conference play.

In the first half, it appeared the Cardinals were heading in the right direction. They had the Chargers down 17-8 after one quarter.

Newton led 32-19 at halftime.

“This team is learning how to play with the lead. We have to have the mindset of competing to win instead of competing to not lose,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said after the Chargers rallied in the second half to beat Newton, 60-54.

With the loss, the Cardinal fell to 5-12 overall for the season.

They step back into Little Hawkeye Conference Tuesday. They take 2-8 conference mark into a 6:15 p.m. game against Oskaloosa (2-14, 0-10).

“We are looking to bounce back at home Tuesday night,” Sharp said. “We did not play the cleanest game tonight.”

The Cardinals held off the Chargers in the third quarter, but were outscored 19-13 in the pe-

riod. Newton held a 45-38 lead going into the final eight minutes of play. Chariton closed out the game on a 22-9 run.

Newton senior Courtney Jacobsen knocked down three 3-pointers on her way to a team-high 11 points. Senior Ryanne Rausch scored 10 points. Newton was 7-of-12 from the free-throw line.

Chariton got 18 points from Ivy Swarthout and 12 points from Carlie Schaeffer. The Chargers downed 15-of-19 from the line.

Newton’s junior varsity lost 34-22. Abbie Barr led the Cardinals with seven points.

In the freshman game, Chariton posted a 22-18 win over Newton. Kameron Nehring had five points, three steals and six rebounds for Newton. Liv Whitten had five points and five steals.

Cardinals roll over Chargers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News CHARITON — No slow start on the road Monday night for Newton High’s boys. The Cardinals executed well at both ends of the basketball court to hand host Chariton a 71-43 setback.

Newton shot 53 percent, 26-of-49, from the field while holding the Chargers (12-5) to a cool 39.5 percent, 17-of-43. The Cardinals continued their strong 3-point field goal shooting, 10-of-24, for 42 percent.

Chariton went 2-of-12 from long range.

“We jumped out right away tonight. The guys took control of the game early and continued that effort the rest of the game,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said. “We’re always looking for a great effort from our guys. Tonight, we executed on both ends of the floor very well.”

Newton has been spotting opponents leads in the first quarter then roar-

ing back to claim victories.

Against Chariton, the Cardinals outscored the Chargers, 23-10, in the first period and never let up.

The Cardinals have won four straight to improve to 11-4 overall.

They go back into Little Hawkeye Conference play Tuesday at home. Newton plays at 7:30 p.m. against Oskaloosa, going after its third LHC series sweep of the season.

Newton controlled a 3420 halftime margin against Chariton. The Cardinals had another big run in the third quarter, outscoring the Chargers 24-11. They finished it with a 13-12 scoring edge in the fourth quarter.

“We know the first four minutes of the third quarter are important in each game.

Our guys came out and established themselves again in those four minutes to get a big win at Chariton,” Liley said.

St. Louis must give Astros top two picks, $2M for hacking NEW YORK (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals were stripped of their top two picks in this year’s amateur draft Monday and ordered to give them to Houston along with $2 million as compensation for hacking the Astros’ email system and scouting database, the final and unprecedented step in an unusual case of cybercrime involving two Major League Baseball teams.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred also banned former St. Louis executive Christopher Correa for life as he ruled the Cardinals must give the 56th and 75th draft choices in June to Houston. They must pay the Astros the money within 30 days.

Correa, the Cardinals’ director of baseball development until July 2015, pleaded guilty in federal court last year to five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison and ordered to pay the Astros $279,039 in restitution.

“Although Mr. Correa’s

conduct was not authorized by the Cardinals, as a matter of MLB policy I am holding the Cardinals responsible for his conduct,” Manfred wrote.

“A club suffers material harm when an employee of another club illegally accesses its confidential and propriety information, particularly intrusions of the nature and scope present here. In addition, as a result of Mr. Correa’s conduct, the Astros suffered substantial negative publicity and had to endure the time, expense and distraction of both a lengthy government investigation and an MLB investigation.”

Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement the “findings are fully consistent with our own investigation’s conclusion that this activity was isolated to a single individual.”

“This has been a long and challenging process for all of us, especially those within our baseball operations department,” St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. “We have learned a great deal along

the way and we have taken additional steps to ensure that something like this doesn’t ever happen again.”

Houston said “this unprecedented award by the commissioner’s office sends a clear message of the severity of these actions.”

Correa was employed by the Cardinals from 2009-15.

When he was sentenced last July by U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes, Correa said he was “overwhelmed with remorse and regret for my actions” that cost him his career and his home.

“I violated my values and it was wrong. I behaved shamefully,” he said then. “The whole episode represents the worst thing I’ve done in my life by far.”

Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow told reporters in June 2014 the team had been the victim of hackers who accessed servers and published online months of internal trade talks.

Astros general counsel Giles Kibbe said Correa accessed the Astros’ system about 60 times

over two years.

Federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum that Correa used the password of Sig Mejdal, Houston’s director of division sciences who had been the Cardinals’ director of amateur draft analysis. When he left St. Louis in December 2011, Mejdal was directed to given his computer to Correa along with its password, and Mejdal later used an almost identical password with his Astros account.

Prosecutors said Correa had access to the Astros’ system from January 2012 until June 2014 and entered the team’s Ground Control database of confidential scouting reports, statistics and contract information 48 times. He also accessed the email of five Houston employees, including that of Mejdal.

St. Louis already had lost its original top pick, No. 19, as compensation for signing freeagent outfielder Dexter Fowler.

The Cardinals’ first pick now will be No. 94 overall.

Astrograph

There’s a point at which doing more will not produce more results. If you value yourself based on how hard you work, and only feel worthy if you’re making big efforts, you’ll miss the signs that you’ve gone past that point. Mercury and Uranus work at cross purposes today to make that point of diminishing returns a little more obvious.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 31). Your communication skills and style evolve to a new high this year, and this touches all you do in a favorable way.

Clear and patient relating will pull people close to you. You’ll stash extra money in March until a worthy investment

comes along that will allow you to double it. June expands your family. Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 5, 28 and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

History is more art than science. Like magnetic audiotape, memories get a little more corrupted every time they are recalled. As for today’s story, expect that its emotional truth might be different from its factual truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The gurus suggest that the path to enlightenment involves the elimination of opinion. That would be taking it to extremes today, though you might tem-

per your opinions with a fair dose of open-mindedness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re a hard worker, and you’ll play even harder if you can find the time to do it. If you can’t, then make the time.

Because it’s what you do during off hours that will have the most impact.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll dig in your heels today.

You set your own groove and you’ll move when you’re ready. Even when you feel the hand of fate at your back, you won’t budge. No one, not even destiny, can rush you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Like an actor who is cast in an unlikely role, you have some stretching to do. Is this an honor, a challenge or a pain? Likely all three will fit in someway before the show is over.
