Teen Challenge to host car auction

Proceeds benefit Colfax men’s program

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News

In the face of addiction, the faithbased program Teen Challenge offers a glimpse of hope to people in desperate need of perspective, passion and purpose. Nearly 50 men are currently getting a second chance through the 12- to 18-month program located in Colfax.

Next week, Teen Challenge of the Midlands will offer an opportunity for individuals seeking a used car to purchase one at a good price while

donating to the program at the same time. One hundred percent of car auction fundraiser proceeds support the Teen Challenge of the Midlands facility, program and residents.

Auctioning will begin at 10 a.m.

Feb. 14 at Teen Challenge, 900 N. League Road in Colfax.

More than 40 vehicles will be available at the one-day auction as well as a few campers and boats. A variety of vehicle makes and models will be auctioned including a 2007 Mazda CX-7, 2001 BMW 325i, 2002 Ford Explorer, 2005 Cadillac DeVille and a 1955 Ford Fairlane Photo Coupe.

Copper Dollar Ranch

City will not purchase August Bergman House

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Dennis Magee/Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier Theresa “Terri” Supino enters the courtroom at the Black Hawk County Courthouse prior to opening statements Wednesday morning. Supino is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the 1983 deaths of 20-year-old Steven Fisher and 17-year-old Melisa Gregory.

The Newton City Council has decided against purchasing the August Bergman House, the council announced Wednesday.

A request was made by the Newton Historical Society Board Members for the city to purchase the house for $99,600 with a acquisition time not to exceed 18 months. After considerable discussion surrounding the role of the city in this unique request, and balanc-

ing this request versus other significant needs within the community, the city council has directed City Administrator Bob Knabel to advise the Newton Historical Society Board that it will not honor the request.

“There is just a lot of uncertainty about end result, disposition, how long and what is going to happen with it. I think there is a belief, too, that probably private sector people were going to have a BERGMAN | 3A

Gritty crime scene footage, investigator testimony in CDR trial State witnesses’ testimony to continue Thursday

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News WATERLOO — Theresa “Terri” Supino held back tears in a Black Hawk County courtroom Wednesday, as prosecutors presented graphic crime scene images from the 1983 killings of the 54-year-old’s then-estranged husband, Steven Fisher, and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Melisa Gregory, at the former Copper Dollar Ranch, northwest of Newton.

Supino is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the March 3, 1983 killings. The photos showed where the victims’ bodies laid at the CDR — Gregory unclothed — and in vivid detail, gave jurors a picture of the brutality of the murders.

Former Jasper County Sheriff Mike Balmer — a deputy who first responded to the scene in 1983 — testified for the state regarding the initial crime scene investigation. From the stand he analyzed a crime scene video shot

by then-Sheriff Alan Wheeler in 1983. Balmer plainly told jurors “there was a lot of blood.”

Balmer testified that statements from Terri Supino and her twin brother, Tim Supino, differed when describing clothing Fisher was wearing as they arrived at the CDR to speak with him after 11 p.m. the night of the murder. Tim Supino, Balmer said, described Fisher as shirtless, the way the victim appeared following the murder, SUPINO | 8A

Metro Creative Connetion You can prevent and control elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, excess weight with lifestyle changes, healthy eating and medications.

Love your heart February is American Heart Month Nancy Schive, R.D., L.D. Outpatient Education Dietitian Skiff Medical Center

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States.

The good news is, however, that many of these deaths and risk factors are preventable.

While age, gender and family history cannot be controlled, you can prevent and control elevated cholesterol and other lipids, high blood pressure, excess weight and obesity with lifestyle changes, healthful eating and medications.

This February, you may be treating your sweetheart, but don’t forget to give your own heart some special treatment as well. In honor of American Heart Month, why not begin with making some healthy eating changes with a focus on reducing sodium intake.

You are, more than likely, getting more sodium than what your body needs or what is good for your heart. In some people, sodium increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body, creating an added burden for your heart.

Blood pressure tends to rise with age, and eating less salt/sodium now can help to decrease that rise and reduce your risk of developing other conditions as-

sociated with too much sodium, such as stroke, heart failure, osteoporosis, stomach cancer and kidney disease.

What are the recommendations?

The average American consumes about 3400 mg of sodium per day. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend reducing sodium intake to less than 2300 mg, and to 1500 mg per day among persons who are 51 and older and those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease. The American Heart Association recommends keeping sodium intake at 1500 mg or less per day.

What Can You Do? • Check nutrition labels on prepared and packaged foods, as up to 75 percent of the sodium consumed is hidden in processed foods.

• Be aware of other words such as “soda” and “sodium,” which means sodium compounds are present.

• Consider trying “cheeseless” pizza with grilled chicken strips and lots of vegetables.

• Use fresh, skinless poultry that isn’t enhanced with a sodium solution instead of fried or processed chicken.

Of All The Things You Wear Your Smile Is Most Important

74% of Americans believe an unattractive smile could hurt a person’s career.

• Try choosing lower sodium varieties of soup.

• Make your sandwiches with lower sodium meats and low fat, low sodium cheeses.

• Try to limit the condiments added.

• Choose foods that are natural sources of potassium, such as colorful fruits and vegetables, fat-free or low fat milk and milk products and fish to help counter the effects of sodium.

• Blood pressure may be lowered by including potassiumrich foods in your diet regularly.

• Specific potassium-rich foods include: potatoes, spinach and other greens, mushrooms, tomatoes, citrus fruits, prunes, apricots, raisins, dates, skim and 1% milk, fat-free yogurt, halibut, tuna and molasses. Experiment with different herbs and spices.

• Be sure to check label to make sure that salt or sodium has not been added.

• Track your sodium intake with a sodium tracker that you can download/print from www. heart.org/sodium.

It’s an easy way to keep tabs on how much sodium you’re consuming in your diet. Sometimes just a small change can bring big results when it comes to your heart health.

The American Heart Association has many resources available to help keep you on track.

Fun in the snow planned at Winterpalooza

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Grab your sled and head to the first Winterpalooza for outdoor fun and games with the Jasper County Conservation Board from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Nature Center Area, 5284 Liberty Ave., Saturday.

Along with sledding, cross country skiing, snow shoeing and ice fishing will be available to participate in. Parking will be available at the Old County Care Facility, on the south side of the highway. All ages are invited with a cost of $5 for ages 6 and up.

“We were looking at

trying to have some sort of event where we are going to have our nature center,” said Greg Oldsen, naturalist with Jasper County Conservation. “We wanted a way to show off that area and get the public out there.”

Skis and snowshoes will be available for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing through the timber and equipment for ice fishing will be provided for fishing on the pond. Sleds will not be provided. For the younger crowd, colored water to paint in the snow will provided and snowmen building will take place.

To warm up after

playing in the snow, a bonfire is set to cut into the chill and hot chocolate will warm the bellies after an afternoon of outdoor play.

The event is taking place at the site of the future environmental education center on land that was given by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

The 40 acres near the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office have timbers and a creek running through them, ripe for trails and hiking. Oldsen said the Conservation Board plans to have a community garden and sculpture walk along with a prairie. It has already put a bridge over the

all vehicles will sell that day.

Baxter State Savings Bank Branch Manager Larry Opfer has purchased two cars from Teen Challenge car auctions. The first was a 1994 Chevy S10 for his son and the second, a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. Both cars work well and he’s been very satisfied, Opfer said.

“You can look at the cars online and research the price compared to blue-book price,” Opfer said. “It’s better than a used car sale, because these guys are very honest and accurate with the vehicle history.”

Teen Challenge originated in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1958 by the Rev. David Wilkerson after reading an article about a group of teenage boys on trial for a gang-related murder. Wilkerson was inspired. He was called to help change the teens lives and devoted his faith to teaching troubled individuals about a better life through Christianity.

More than 50 years later, adult and teen programs for both males and females have been developed to enable individuals to create a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and in turn, live drug-free lives.

Programs, like the men’s program in Colfax, offer a balance of classes, assignments and recreation, according to the organization’s website. The program also helps prepare its residents transitioning from treatment into the “real world” though education and training opportunities.

“We offer the ability for our participants to earn their GED, this is a requirement for those who have never completed high school or earned a GED, and we provide certified trade and skills training in several areas including construction so our students leave Teen Challenge with some practical skills so they can earn a good living,” TCMID Regional Director of Operations Bob Larson said.

Teen Challenge has grown to more than 200 locations in the US and more than 1,000 around the world. Teen Challenge of the Midlands acquired the Colfax property in 1986 and is nearing its 30th anniversary in Jasper County.

“I’ve been to the facility numerous times now and it’s very well-run, organized. Everyone is very appreciative of the chance their are given to turn their life around,” Opfer said. “It’s a wonderful, successful program.”

Auction attendees are encouraged to arrive in advance to allot time for registration. Vehicles may be viewed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 13 and after 8 a.m. Feb. 14. An online list of vehicles can be found at tcmid1.org/auction.

All vehicles will be sold as-is and have been through the Teen Challenge automotive shop to ensure drivetrain and properly working equipment like brakes, TCMID Colfax Executive Director Michael Hunsberger said.

Cinnamon rolls, chili and beverages will also be available for purchase at the auction.

For those with auction questions or interest in vehicle donation, call the Teen Challenge Vehicle Donation Center at 1-888-344-HOPE, Vehicle Donation Program Coordinator Brian Schroeder at 515-288-1165, or visit tcmid.org/auction for more information.

patterns that have worked well since the last reconfiguration prior to 2010-11 school year.

“That’s a piece that I don’t want to lose in a K-4 setup,” Cook said. “Without the Wednesday afternoons (Wednesdays were used as early-release days before the 2014-15 school year), collaboration looks different this year anyway. Right now, we have some very strong collaboration — not 100 percent throughout — but in many places, there are some very strong teams in place.”

Board member Bill Perrenoud said an alignment that included four K-4 campuses might allow the district to closely monitor a student with known difficulties in preschool or kindergarten, with the same staff, in the same building.

“When a farmer plants a seed of corn, when does he give it the most attention?” Perrenhoud asked. “While it’s coming out of the ground, he nurtures it, and makes sure it has what it needs.

In a K-4 school, we’re going to be able to keep a closer eye on students who have the need.”

Public finance of a rebuild of the Berg Complex was discussed for the first hour of the 2-hour, 54-minute meeting, with the reconfiguration talk covering the final two hours. There were about 20 people in attendance, even without a public-comment forum in the agenda, which is an

No one has proposed any concept in the last five board meetings related to a Berg Complex proposal that didn’t involve grades 5-8. A couple of board members said Tuesday they were adamant about a grades 5-6 wing and a grades 7-8 section being completely separate, as large numbers of fifth-graders and eighth-graders are not typically educated side-by-side anywhere.

“If we had K-4 schools, we’d have kids coming from a cozy place they’d been for five years, into a bigger, different Berg environment,” Friedman said. “It would be extra important for fifth- and sixth-graders to not be overwhelmed with too many students.”

Board president Sheri Benson reminded the group that a rebuilt Berg Complex can be designed to avoid having bottlenecks and crowded, noisy spaces, by calling for features such as separate driveways, entrances and classroom wings. The elements that work well in a redesigned Berg could be models for other new campuses built in the years ahead.

The next regular board meeting will be held Monday at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 3 in the Emerson Hough building’s conference room. The agenda for recent board meetings has been released on the Thursdays before each meeting date.

improvement over public attendance at recent board meetings.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan has already informed the district that a thorough renovation of Berg — which would not resolve a number of design limitations — would cost more than $15 million, and a new build will cost more than $25 million.

The bond discussion also included mention of a number of mechanisms, tax rates, existing bonds, overall bond debt and state funding sources. There will undoubtedly be more discussion in upcoming board meetings about the Berg bond issue.

The reconfiguration talk was the latest in several months’ worth of dialogue, which has included forums, surveys and a purchase of property. Tuesday’s discussion began with board president Sheri Benson going around the table, getting a take on important elements of the discussion from each board member.

Board member Robyn Friedman said before the 2010 reconfiguration, each K-6 school had its own mascot and other elements that gave it a neighborhood identity. However, recently developed quality methods should not be abandoned.

“What I’m hearing is there’s still a longing to go back to the K-through-6, and we’re not talking about that model at all,” Friedman said. “So it’s like, if we’re not going to go back to that, then why shake up the apple cart?”

Empty Nest

Mentholatum

By Curt Swarm Guest Columnist

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Feb. 5, 2015

I had been priding myself that I had not had this cold and flu that’s going around. If I ran into a neighbor at the supermarket, who looked like death warmed over, I was quick to sympathize, offer the chicken-soup remedy, and be on my way without gloating. If you gloat, you’ll be sick the next day.

When I went to refill one of my standard prescriptions, the pharmacist informed me that the doctor was requiring a visit before granting more refills. Oh. Everyone knows that if you don’t want to get sick, stay away from the doctor’s office. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Reluctantly, I made the appointment.

When I walked into the waiting room of the clinic, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It looked like a war zone. People were actually wearing masks. Two different sets of people, one old and one young, were coughing so hard it sounded like seals barking. I

sat as far away from everyone as I could, and tried not to touch anything. When my name was called, I bounded through the doors, got myself weighed, and made a bee line for the exam room.

When the doctor came in, all smiley, he said, “What are you doing here, Curtis?” I said, “I need my prescription refilled.”

He said, “Oh,” and punched some numbers into the computer, and it was done.

Ten days later, yep, it started—that burning of the eyes and throat. I thought, “I’ll nip this in the bud, take some cold meds, and go to bed early.”

I woke up in the middle of the night. One eye was matted shut, and I couldn’t breath through the my nose. I doubled up on cold meds and spent the rest of the night sitting up. Did you know that Law and Order is on at 3 in the morning?

I spent the next two days on the couch, watched Netflix mov-

ies, and tried not to feel sorry for myself. The operative word here is “tried.” I would have a few hours when I was feeling better, and thought I had it licked.

Then I would get knocked down again.

I called the doctor’s office and asked if I could get a prescription for an antibiotic without coming in. No. So, I made another trip to the war zone. I joked with the nurse about not being sick until I came here. She said, “Yeah, we hear that a lot.”

The doctor tried his best to examine my throat from two feet away. When he grimaced, I didn’t have to ask why. I left with my prescription for an antibiotic.

The antibiotic was one of those five-day jobbies. Three days into it, when I was actually worse than when I was taking over-the-counter meds, I contemplated a life of continuous misery.

One of my readers called with

a story idea. I told her I was sick in bed with a sinus infection. She said one word, “Mentholatum.”

I said, “I’ve been stuffing Vicks up my nose.

Is that what you mean?”

“Mentholatum,” she said.

After searching for half an hour in the drugstore, I found it.

There was one left. In the car in the parking lot, with trembling hands, I tore the box open and unscrewed the lid. I smeared some Mentholatum on my cheek bones and forehead. My eyes immediately watered, and my nose started running.

“Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day.

I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way.”

I’m gonna live!

Des Moines Airport proposed new terminal is good for Des Moines and Iowa Des Moines and the State of Iowa have a well-organized and efficient airport — the Des Moines International Airport. Recently, I have signed on to assist in developing funding for the newly proposed terminal to be built on the south side of

By David J. the airport. This Fisher new terminal Consultant to the will replace the Des Moines Airport current terminal Authority that was built in 1948 with several upgrades and additions over the years.

The current facility is at its maximum efficiency as passenger counts have increased over the last 10 years from 1,990,167 to 2,300,000 in 2014. It is important that passengers are able to use the terminal without long lines at TSA security and ticket and baggage counters. Anyone who has departed the airport early morning or arrived back between 4:30 and 6:30 in the evening can attest to the difficulty in using the terminal in a timely manner. Long lines and curbside traffic are increasing to a point passengers are

not well served.

The new proposed terminal is slated to be occupied in 2024 with design and engineering starting in 2019, providing the necessary funding is secured. The new terminal, parking ramps, and tearing down of the current terminal is a $400,000,000 project. This will be one of Iowa’s largest construction projects ever.

The new terminal gates will be designed with size and room to accommodate current and future aircraft. Airlines are now using larger passenger aircraft as opposed to smaller regional jets.

In addition, the new terminal will allow further expansion 30 to 50 years out depending on the growth of passenger counts. No additional runways are necessary, as there is enough existing capacity to handle all aircraft for many years out.

This is a very important project for all of Iowa — as the Des Moines airport serves most of the state. Experts tell us that an airport with a first class terminal serving the major airlines in this industry is a very critical element in the decision-making of employers looking to locate their business and its employees.

In short, it is number three on the list of reasons to relocate to a

new area.

The Des Moines Airport is well served by the authority board that governs it. This board consists of five Des Moines citizens that serve at no compensation to see that the operation is run like a successful business. The board, among its many responsibilities, provides guidance for building up cash reserves. These reserves are necessary for investing in the new terminal and keeping the existing runways in top shape.

Having served as a businessman in this community for many years and being associated with many well managed for-profit and notfor-profit organizations, I can tell citizens this is a well-run, efficient operation. After visiting with close to 100 Iowa business professionals and elected officials in the last 60 days, there is strong support for the new terminal project that currently does not involve local or state tax dollars. The airport currently pays the city of Des Moines, in lieu of property taxes, $640,000 annually for police and fire protection.

This important project to Iowa needs strong support, it touches most lowans in one form or another and is the gateway to 2,300,000 visitors to our city and state.

If the most frequently dialed federal agency in America can’t even answer two-thirds of the millions of phone calls it g e t s , should the government cut its budget?

Cong r e s s thinks so. That By Bob Lord agency is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). And lawmakers have hacked at its budget yet again.

Worse still, those cuts will cost more money than they’ll save. They’re basically “a tax cut to tax cheats,” said IRS commissioner John Koskinen.

Regardless of your feelings about the IRS, Koskinen is right.

The government has slashed the enforcement portion of the IRS budget by nearly 20 percent over the last five years. That’s forcing the IRS to shrink the number of employees working on enforcement by 15 percent.

Talk about being penny-wise and poundfoolish. For every dollar the IRS spent in 2013, it collected $255, according to National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson.

Imagine that someone told a CEO that a given department was bringing in hundreds of dollars to his company for every dollar it spent. “It is difficult to see how the CEO would keep his job if he chose not to provide the department with the funding it needed,” Olson said.

Yet, she noted, “that is essentially what has been happening with respect to IRS funding.” Congress has slashed the IRS budget four times in five years. And those cuts are feeding the budget deficit that conservatives supposedly fret about.

It’s all about political expedience. Remember when the IRS faced accusations of singling out conservative nonprofits for tax scrutiny? Along

with other experts, I predicted that it would spur further IRS budget cuts.

Now Republican lawmakers are taking their revenge.

It’s a vicious cycle.

Critics attack the IRS for making mistakes, darkening the public’s view of it. That gives political opportunists a chance to lobby successfully for cuts. A smaller budget virtually guarantees future mistakes by a cashstrapped agency.

Taxpayer services are underfunded too. The IRS now is unlikely to answer even half the phone calls it gets from taxpayers, Olson says. The average wait time is 30 minutes.

So another vicious cycle plays out as taxpayers who try to do the right thing get frustrated. Evasion rates rise. Pressure on the IRS enforcement team mounts.

On top of all that, taxpayers and collectors alike are coping with a tax code that’s more complex than ever. The IRS is responsible for implementing about 40 new provisions of the Affordable Care Act alone, for example.

And it could get more absurd.

The Republican Party is fundraising on the promise of abolishing the IRS altogether, as Citizens for Tax Justice reports. What happens when a country can’t collect taxes?

“Italy and Greece have been stuck in vicious cycles in which tax evasion runs rampant,” Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell recently wrote. So politicians “raise tax rates to extract more money from the few law-abiding saps still out there, encouraging people to hide economic activity from even higher tax rates, and so on.”

That kind of dysfunction hurts honest taxpayers and bankrupts governments.

Let’s change course before it’s too late.

Talk of long-ago divorce can bring present-day pain

DEAR ABBY: Would you please remind your readers that people who have been through an awful divorce DO NOT want to hear anything about their ex? We don’t want to hear — again and again — how much better the ex did in the settlement than we did. We don’t want to hear that the ex was seen with his girlfriend the other day.

I have a friend who tells me every time I speak with her how much better he made out in the settlement than I did. People also need to realize that even though the divorce was years ago, it still hurts. — HURTING IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR HURTING: I’m passing along your message. However, when it first happened, you should have told the woman to drop the subject because it was hurtful. If you didn’t, please do that. But if you did say it and your request was disregarded, recognize that this person isn’t a “friend,” that she probably gets a kick out of causing you pain or aggravation, and you should avoid her.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and adopted.

I have a wonderful new family, but a very dark past. I was beaten every day for seven years and was bulimic for five.

The abuse finally ended when my stepfather went to jail for trying to murder my mother and me. I was bullied in school and went home to more abuse.

Now, even though I’m out of the situation, I still get scared when people yell at me, or at school when someone raises their hands like they are about to hit me. Everyone tells me I need to “grow up,” but how am I supposed to do that when I’m still scared of my past? — CAN’T GET PAST IT DEAR CAN’T GET PAST IT: After the amount of trauma you have experienced, it may take help from a licensed mental health professional to get past what was done to you. If your

family is unable to provide it, discuss this with a counselor at school and ask for help, because the counselor may be able to refer you to someone.

DEAR ABBY: My adult son and his wife have had a dog for two years.

I do not want a dog in my house, but I also don’t want to prevent them from visiting (they live six hours away). We have tried keeping “Puddles” in the basement, but she whined all night, and my son ended up sleeping on the basement floor with her.

They think I’m going to give in because she’s so cute, but I don’t like little animals running, jumping and yapping.

(OK, I’m high-strung, and holidays make it worse.) My husband doesn’t support me and tries to sneak Puddles in when I’m not looking.

This is not fair! I’m the one who keeps the house nice, but I love my son.

Any suggestions? — PARTICULAR IN OHIO DEAR PARTICULAR: Yes, your son should find a pet sitter or board Puddles for the time when he visits you. And if necessary, offer to pay for it. That way the poor animal won’t be isolated in unfamiliar surroundings and will have companionship, you’ll have peace of mind and your son will get a good night’s sleep.

Black Hawk County dismantling law library WATERLOO — The once-busy Black Hawk County law library is being dismantled as the Internet provides information once available only in law books. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the library on the third floor of the courthouse used to be heavily used by judges and lawyers, but it’s now rarely used.

“With the online accessibility of information these days, it has made this library a little obsolete,” said District Court Administrator Linda Nilges.

Reading Rocks at 11 cars of train derail in Thomas Jefferson Elementary eastern Iowa; 3 cars catch fire The Associated Press

Submitted Photo The Zeta chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma presented a “Reading Rocks” program for Thomas Jefferson Elementary School Thursday. Principal Lisa Sharp welcomed 250 second and third grade students and their parents for a night of fun. The Delta Kappa Gamma sorority shared a reading strategy called choral reading. Students and parents then went to classrooms to learn about the “Wonders” reading program and iPad strategies. The Thomas Jefferson PTA and Delta Kappa Gamma provided pizza for students and parents. The evening culminated with a drawing for prizes including an iPad.

DUBUQUE — Eleven cars of a freight train derailed Wednesday in a rural area in eastern Iowa where local authorities said three cars caught fire and three more plunged into the Mississippi River.

Ten of the derailed cars on the eastbound Canadian Pacific train were carrying ethanol, some of which was leaking into the river, Dubuque Fire Chief Rick Steines told the Dubuque Telegraph Herald. He said it wasn’t immediately clear how much.

“The scene is really hard to access right now. It’s right along the river at the edge of a valley with very poor access,” Steines said in a videotaped interview posted on the newspaper website.

The cars went off the tracks at 11:20 a.m. in a remote uninhabited area about 10 miles north of Dubuque. Steines said no one was being allowed within a half-mile of the burning cars as a precaution but that the nearest farm was

outside the safety zone so no residents were evacuated.

The railroad had emergency response equipment designed to handle derailments on the way and a hazardous materials team also was responding.

“They’ll have to determine the next step,” Steines said.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources spokesman Kevin Baskins said his department sent officers to the scene to assess the environmental impact but they weren’t being allowed near the train. He said officials in Davenport, Burlington and Keokuk, which use the Mississippi River as a drinking water source, were notified as a precaution.

Two crew members on the train escaped without injury, railroad spokeswoman Salem Woodrow said.

“CP’s emergency protocols were immediately enacted and all safety precautions and measures are being taken as our crews respond to the incident,” she said. “At this time our focus is public safety and the environment.”

Don’t stress: Missing ACT exams found at Iowa grocery store The Associated Press DES MOINES — Stressed-out students who thought their completed ACT exams had gone missing can relax: The nearly 200 collegeentrance exams they completed in December have been found at an Iowa grocery store.

The ACT organization had sent an email Monday night to 195 students, telling them that their answer

sheets never arrived at testing headquarters after they took the exam at Johnston High School on Dec. 13.

The school district quickly investigated and discovered the completed tests were in a box at a nearby Dahl’s grocery store.

“It’s unfortunate, and we’re sorry that everyone had to go through this roller coaster of events,” ACT spokeswoman Katie Walker said, adding that the exams were still valid

and scoring would be expedited.

The school’s principal picked up the test packets Wednesday morning, district spokeswoman Laura Sprague said. She said the tests will be shipped to ACT headquarters overnight.

Sprague said the mixup started when an ACThired testing coordinator dropped off the packets for mailing at the grocery store.

AP Photo Iowa Department of Natural Resources staff are on the scene of a train derailment in which three railcars caught fire and another three plunged into the Mississippi River. In all, 11 cars derailed, and 10 of them were carrying ethanol, north of Dubuque on Wednesday.

Local News Supino

Continued from Page 1A where as Terri Supino described Fisher wearing a flannel shirt when they allegedly left the ranch.

As footage and stills of the victims played on the screen, Supino turned away, staring at her table while covering her mouth.

Despite the graphic imagery, jurors appeared mostly unphased by the photos. Only a single female juror was noticeably bothered by the pictures showing the victims with “chop” wounds the morning after the murders.

The state also asked Balmer about rumors surrounding the killings over the years, and the former sheriff said many, he found, originated from Terri Supino.

Defense Counsel Steve Addington questioned Balmer about the physical evidence at the scene — clothing submitted by Terri and Tim Supino were analyzed, Balmer said, and no blood was ever found.

Both Balmer and retired Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation criminologist Wayne Eaton testified that plaster casts taken of footprints and tire tracks found at the scene — to their knowledge — were never compared to a physical tire or shoe, or even linked to the crime.

Eaton arrived at the Copper Dollar Ranch at 9 a.m. March 3,

1983. Although DNA identification was not available in 1983, forensic science had advanced to the point of scientifically identifying blood through type analysis. Eaton analyzed photos his partner, former Iowa DCI crime scene investigator, Jeri Daugherty-Eaton, took at the CDR. He and Daugherty-Eaton testified that the blood spatter patterns showed Gregory was first struck in bed, then slowly made her way through the trailer’s kitchen to the dining booth where she was “finished off.”

Due to the blood spatter on Gregory’s left leg, the proximity of the wall to her left side and the position of Fisher and Gregory’s wounds, DaughertyEaton’s opinion is that the killer was short and left-handed or ambidextrous.

“In my opinion, this was a case of overkill,” DaughertyEaton said. “Neither one of the victims could take that many blows and still be alive. The perpetrator continued to impact both victims long after they had died.”

Media analyzed footage taken in the courtroom Wednesday and observed Supino taking notes with her right hand.

Addington questioned the standard practice of the crime scene photography at the CDR, showing two photos where objects appeared to have been moved prior to evidence being collected. Wayne Eaton said he

could not explain the discrepancy. The defense will conduct cross examination on Daugherty-Eaton Thursday.

Although the evidence presented Wednesday was more detailed than statements made by law enforcement in the past, the first day of testimony did not bring a definitive link between the murders and Terri Supino.

During opening arguments, First Assistant Jasper County Attorney Scott Nicholson told jurors the theme of their case is “a jigsaw puzzle” and jurors would hear what amounts to “an admission” by Terri Supino.

Establishing Terri Supino’s motive to kill her estranged husband and Gregory will be central to the state’s case. Nicholson

highlighted the couple’s marital problems, including Fisher’s infidelity, in his talking points.

During her opening statements, co-defense counsel Jill Eimermann admitted to the volatile relationship Supino and Fisher shared. But the defense argued after 32 years of investigating “there is still not a single shred of evidence tying Terri Supino to that crime scene.” Eimermann told jurors no finger prints were matched, no blood on the clothing Terri and Tim Supino submitted to investigators, and no blood on their car.

The defense will try to convince jurors the 5 foot 2 inch, 90 pound Supino would not have stood a chance physically against a 5 foot 6 inch Fisher.

Eimermann also tried to cast doubt in Supino’s motive to kill Fisher and Gregory.

“For 32 years, law enforcement has believed that no one had greater motive than Terri to kill Steven and Melisa, but for 32 years no one has had greater motive to find who actually killed Steve and Melisa than Terri,” Eimermann said. “What must it feel like to be forever linked to the single most worst thing to happen in your community?”

Newton’s Bowes signs to play ICCC football

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Mason Bowes has fit well on the offensive line for Newton High’s Cardinal football team in his four-year career.

Bowes found the right fit for his next two years of football.

The 6-foot-3 inch, 285-pound Newton High senior made it official on National Signing Day Wednesday.

Bowes signed a letter of intent to play football for Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge.

“Among the schools I visited, it felt like the right fit,” Bowes said.

“We’re going to wait and see where I fit the best for their team, but I played offenisve tackle all four years in high school. That’s where I feel I’ll be most comfortable at.”

Bowes added he is out to play where the Triton coaches believe he can help the team.

Bowes was named to

the Iowa Class 3A District 6 All-District team in the fall. He played left tackle on the offensive line.

Newton ended the season in the second round of the 3A playoffs, losing to topranked Pella. It was the first time in the playoffs for Newton since 2012.

The Cardinals finished 7-4.

Bowes also played in the middle of the defensive line throughout the season. Bowes was on the Cardinal offensive line which allowed Newton to finished fourth in District 6 in rushing — 387 carries for 2,341 yards and 31 touchdowns — fourth in total offense — 3,145 yards — and third in scoring — 298 points.

Bowes recovered two fumbles on defense. He also had 10 solo tackles and six assisted tackles.

Bowes said he plans to major in education at ICCC. “Yes, my plan is to transfer after my two

Four Raiders take athletic careers to next level

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — Athletes from Collins-Maxwell High School and Baxter High School came together once again Wednesday.

In true CMB fashion, Bryce Kemp, Patrick Girard, Joey Nissen and Colin Thomson had a National Signing Day event at both schools.

Three Raiders will play college football and Thomson is advancing his athletic career in cross country.

Despite a late push from the University of Iowa, Kemp honored the commitment he made with Eastern Michigan over the summer and officially became an Eagle, while Thomson walked an unusual path to his future at Central College.

Girard and Nissen could wind up playing against each other in the NAIA playoffs after Girard signed with Morningside College and Nissen inked a scholarship with Grand View University.

“It’s a special day for these

kids. It’s nice to know that someone is recruiting and that you get to play at the next level,” CMB football coach and Baxter Principal Rob Luther said. “For us, these kids put CMB on the map as high school athletes. They’ll always be CMB kids, so hopefully when they move on and do great things, they’ll look back and think that these schools had an impact on their lives.

They are all great kids and they are all going to be successful with whatever they do.”

Bryce Kemp, Eastern Michigan University The CMB all-state wide receiver became the second Raider athlete to sign a Division I football letter of intent, joining former Iowa Hawkeye Clint Huntrods.

Kemp committed to EMU over the summer after attending the Eagles’ camp. And the CMB senior is a man of his word, which is why he turned down the chance to be a preferred walk-on at the University of Iowa, a school he grew up rooting for. Kemp also received scholarship offers from

Northern Iowa and Illinois State, but the full ride he was given by Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton was too good to pass up.

“I considered Iowa a lot, but my word means a lot to me,” Kemp said. “The only way I would have changed my mind is if Iowa would have offered.

I appreciated the early offer from EMU and am excited about my future there.”

Kemp was a standout wide receiver at CMB. He earned elite all-state status this past season after hauling in 46 passes for 950 yards and eight touchdowns. He also threw for a score, rushed for three more and reached paydirt on defense and as a kick returner.

“They’ll find ways to split him out. He’ll be the receiving tight end in their offense,” Luther said. “They’ll try to get him in space and try to find a matchup against a linebacker.

“They are pretty excited and not automatically talking redshirt. They are going to take a look at him this summer. He is going to take classes there so he can workout with the team over the

summer.”

Kemp said he expects his role as a tight end to be similar to what his role was at CMB. “I really enjoy playing tight end. I’ll probably be more of a split end, which is what I did at CMB so I’ll enjoy that,” Kemp said.

Creighton became the head coach at Eastern Michigan after previously coaching at Drake University in Des Moines. He has the Bulldogs’ highest winning percentage in the program’s history.

Kemp, who plans to major in computer science, likes the fact that Eastern Michigan is a big college with a small-town feel.

The MidAmerican Conference school is located in Ypsilanti, Mich., which has a population of about 20,000. And if he wants a taste of the big city atmosphere, Ann Arbor, Mich., is just 5 minutes away.

The Eagles went 2-10 overall last year and were 1-7 Mid-American Conference (MAC) play. They play at LSU in 2015 and some of their games could be televised by ESPN as part of its

“MACtion” programming.

“The only downfall to going to EMU is that it isn’t really close to home, so being able to play on ESPN would be really cool,” Kemp said. “It would allow people from back home to watch some of our games.”

Patrick Girard, Morningside College Morningside co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Collin Prosser wasn’t sure the Mustangs would be able to land Girard during the recruiting process. But when the mammoth offensive tackle signed on the dotted line Wednesday, Prosser expressed how excited him and the rest of the Morningside coaching staff are to get the Class 2A first-team all-state linemen onto the Sioux City campus.

“He was high on our board.

We liked what we saw on film,” Prosser said. “He is a big strong, physical kid. We wanted to get a guy that can help us stay true to what we’ve built and Pat fits every check mark that we have. We are excited to get him.”

Iowa State recruiting recovers from late hits AMES (AP) — Running back Sheldon Croney and offensive lineman Jaypee Philbert helped Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads salvage a recruiting class that took some late hits.

Five players who had committed to Iowa State changed their minds in recent weeks, but getting Philbert, a 6-foot-4, 305-pounder from Coffeyville, Kan., Community College, helped ease that sting, as did this week’s commitment from Croney, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards in each of his final two high school seasons in Bakersfield, California.

But even as Rhoads announced his 25-player class Wednesday, he revealed that wide receiver Tad Ecby and running back DeVondrick Nealy have left the team. Their departures follow the dismissal last month of safety T.J. Mutcherson and wide receiver P.J. Harris.

All four players were major contributors.

ISU’s class includes six junior college transfers being counted on to provide immediate help for a team that went 2-10 last season and lost all nine Big 12 Conference games.

Raiders Continued from Page 1B The Mustangs went 11-2 in 2014 and reached the NAIA national semifinals for the second year in a row. They bring back nine of their 10 offensive linemen from last year’s two-deep roster, so Girard knows he may have to sit and watch for a few years.

“The first couple of years, if I have sit and watch and learn then I’ll do that, but I also want to come in and compete for a spot at some point,” said Girard, who also considering Iowa Central Community College and Division II Upper Iowa University.

The recruiting process with Morningside began around December. Girard took a visit to campus two weeks ago and knew at that point, Morningside was the place he wanted to be.

“I liked the campus and the coaches,” he said. “I enjoyed my time there. The football team is really good and that is something that I want to be a part of.”

Girard was a staple at left tackle for the Raiders and was instrumental in helping CMB go undefeated in the regular season for the first time in school history.

When he gets to Morningside, where he plays on the offensive line is still up in the air.

“Pat is going to do a great job wherever he ends up playing,” Prosser said. “He is going to compete for a spot. We think he can do good things at both spots, but we’ll see what he does best and play him to his strengths.”

Girard, who plans to major in history or political science, will be reunited with a former teammate at Morningside. Former CMB Raider Luke Gibbs, who finished his prep career at Ankeny, is currently on the Mustangs’ roster. So is former PCM Mustang Zach Uhlenhopp.

“They were excited about Pat all along,” Luther said. “I don’t think they thought they would get him because he had the chance to go D-II. He was at the top of their board for the offensive line. He has all the intangibles. He is a character kid and will represent Morningside well. He’ll understand

his role, too. I don’t think he thinks he’ll walk right on campus and play right away. He wants to learn and get better.”

Joey Nissen, Grand View University Nissen didn’t think his football future would lead him to Grand View, but the first-team allstate kicker is excited to play for a former NAIA national champion.

“I really thought that Buena Vista is where I was going to end up because that is who I talked to for a long time,” Nissen said. “Grand View called a few weeks ago and wanted me to visit the campus.

I went there the next day and liked it a lot.

They have a great program, and I am looking forward to having the chance to play right away.”

GVU co-offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Joe Woodley plans to give Nissen the opportunity of early playing time.

The kicking game is something that the Vikings struggled with in 2014, one season after winning an NAIA national title.

“We have a great need at the kicking spot. We had some issues last year at kicker so the area was a big emphasis for us,” said Woodley, whose father, Mike, is the head coach.

“We felt that he fit everything that we wanted and needed. And he is a local kid. He has the type of personality that you need to be a kicker.”

Grand View’s connection with Nissen only runs about three weeks in length. The Viking coaching staff reached out to a family friend and Jamie Kohl, who runs the famous Kohl’s Kicking Camp, gave a ringing endorsement.

“We always call Jamie when a kicker is involved because he knows every single of one of them,” Joe Woodley said. “He spoke very highly of Joey and that is what sealed the deal for us. We are excited to see what he can do.”

Nissen will have access to the Grand View facilities in Des Moines over the summer. The biggest adjustment for Nissen will be no longer kicking field goals and PATs off a tee.

“A kicker is a kicker so he won’t have to

worry about schemes or anything,” Luther said.

“If he performs better than the other guy, he’s going to play. He is awfully consistent and is automatic in PATs. He works hard at it. He’ll have a chance to play right away.”

He’ll always have a chance to play for a national title consistently.

The Vikings went undefeated in winning it all in 2013 and finished 10-2 last year with both losses coming against Marion University.

“It’s always great to go somewhere you know will compete for a national title,” said Nissen, who plans to major in sports management.

“If you go to a school where all the sports are good, there will be a great atmosphere because the fans will be used to winning. If they won it two years ago, I don’t see why we can’t keep it rolling.”

Nissen made 11 field goals and had a long of 42 yards this past season. He was 41-of-44 in PATs and the three that missed were blocked. He also had 20 touchbacks.

His biggest competition at Grand View could come from former PCM standout Kody Wilkie.

Collectively, Grand View kickers missed five field goals and 17 extra points in 2014.

Colin Thomson, Central College Thomson didn’t start his high school athletic career as a cross country runner, but multiple knee injuries led him down that path.

He played football for CMB during his freshman and sophomores years but gave up the sport after tearing his lateral meniscus for a second time.

“I am so excited for Colin to continue to his career,” CMB cross country coach Jerry Meinerts said. “He was a cross country runner in junior high. He tried football and did some damage to his knee. He decided to run cross country to get into shape for basketball, and he was really good at it. It’s funny how life works. The injuries totally changed the path of his career.”

What didn’t change along Thomson’s path was the college he wanted to attend. Central College, which is located in Pella, was the front runner all along

Bryce Kemp

Patrick Girard

Joey Nissen

after both of his parents attended the school.

Wednesday, he joined members of the CMB football team to announce that he was making it official with the Dutch.

“I had a lot of connections there,” said Thomson, who capped his prep career with a trip to the state cross country meet this past fall. “I want to go into exercise science and Central has a great program. I think that’s a field that I can be really successful in.”

Thomson had minor interest in Grand View University and Wartburg College. He joins a few other recent CMB graduates who extended their running careers.

That list includes Aaron Ward (Iowa Central), Hayley Leonard (Grand View) and Ashley Girard (Grand View).

“It’s nice that our kids are getting the recognition they deserve,” Meinerts said. “I am excited he is going to a local school so we can keep an eye on him and see how his career progresses.”

Thomson admits his path to the Central College cross country team is an unusual one.

But Meinerts has no doubt that he will work hard at his craft.

“He runs anywhere from 200-300 miles every summer just to get ready for the season,” Meinerts said. “Central is getting a great kid and a dedicated athlete.”

Thomson added, “I didn’t expect to go to college for track or cross country but now that’s exactly what I am going to do.”

Astrograph Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015

The Virgo moon favors an intellectually disciplined process of gathering, analyzing and applying information. Clarity, accuracy and relevance matter. So does fairness. If there’s a problem you haven’t been able to solve by feeling your way through, now is the time to flip to the logical part of you. Bonus: There’s beauty in common sense.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 5). Celebrate big this year -- you changed history just by being born. Sentence yourself to several hours (if not days) of “you time” this month -- a smart way to replenish your mojo. There’s a lucky break the second week of March. Impatience sets in in April, and you’ll play the squeaky wheel that gets greased. Capricorn and Pisces people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 44, 28, 11 and 5.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The idea that will help you make a leap in lifestyle is not a big one. Rather, it’s a small change of attitude that will ripple out to create many changes at once.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to spend many hours with people to cast your spell.

Often, just a few minutes is enough to gain a fan. Many will be drawn to your selfconfidence, social style and special energy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s power in saying less. The more you know the less you need to show. And if you don’t know, it’s perfectly acceptable to admit that, step back and learn. Your wisdom will prevail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to take the happy-go-lucky approach, but something is stopping you from the experience -- a feeling or perhaps a memory that warns you not to let go completely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You desire to use your idle time more productively.

This will take planning.

Perhaps a thick novel or an online course will change your life during what might otherwise have been television-watching hours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Negative self-talk is nothing but a bad habit that you can change. The first thing to do is to stop identifying that voice as the real you. It’s just an opinion of the moment, and you can choose a different one any time you’d like to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

A professional development opens up a financial opportunity. Dive in and do the hard work. As you focus on your career, you give a relationship the breathing room it needs to grow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You will be a serendipitous mentor for someone, delivering just the right message to lift that person to a new level of understanding.

Even so, don’t try too hard.

Just say what you see as the truth, and you’ll cause change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The daily task of growing your virtues and minimizing your vices does get old.

Perhaps even goodness should be pursued in moderation. If you don’t indulge

your shadow side, at least have one dance with it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The way to be noticed by that person you admire is to attach yourself to his or her top priorities and help make this accomplishment happen. Your admired someone will notice your value and in turn want to help you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The more connections you have the more leverage you have.

It’s a day for growing your network (either face-to-face or virtually) by doing more of what you’re good at and telling people about it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you focus on one line of action, another that’s occurring simultaneously is building. There will be a point in the near future when these stories converge to fantastic effect.
