Trial set for mother accused of biting child

Copper Dollar Ranch

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News

Dennis Magee/Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier Defendant Theresa “Terri” Supino takes the stand Tuesday in the Black Hawk County Courthouse in Waterloo. Supino is accused of slaying her husband and his girlfriend nearly 32 years ago.

Supino takes stand, denies state witness testimony

Judge denies defense motion for acquittal, case moves forward

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News WATERLOO — The question of whether or not Theresa “Terri” Supino would take the stand in her own defense was answered Tuesday.

The 54 year old, charged in the March 3, 1983 murders of her estranged husband Steven Fisher and his girlfriend Melisa Gregory, refuted nine days of witness testimony detailing acts of aggression toward the victims, unemotional behavior following Fisher’s brutal murder and alleged confessions in the nearly 32 years since the killings.

Gregory, 17, and Fisher, 20, were found murdered at the former Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton.

During her testimony, Supino called an alleged jailhouse confession, a “sarcastic” remark in reference

to charge documents she received for Jasper County Sheriff ’s Deputy John Halferty following her arrest. The comment was recorded at the Jasper County Jail during a March 4, 2014 from a phone call between the defendant and her twin brother Tim Supino.

In the recording played Monday for jurors, Supino can be heard saying “I killed Steve Fisher, I didn’t kill anyone else.” The defendant said the document only indicated charges for Fisher, and she was sarcastically referring to the incomplete documentation.

But Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen said the statement of probable cause document attached to the charges mentioned Melisa Gregory more than 20 times, and argued Supino would have easily known she was being charged with both murders.

Newton man takes plea deal in robbery case $70, pack of smokes stolen after assault

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Newton man charged with seconddegree burglary in an incident in which he allegedly stole $70 and a pack of smokes after holding a corkscrew to a victim’s neck has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.

Joseph K. Reusswig, 37, pleaded guilty Friday to assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor.

Reusswig was charged Aug. 23, 2014 after police were dispatched to Reusswig the 400 block of West ROBBERY | 3A

Supino claimed she only read the first page of the charges.

Two events meant to establish prior aggression by Supino toward Fisher were also refuted by the defendant. Supino said testimony alleging she attacked Fisher twice with a car — once at a league softball diamond in 1979 and once in February 1983 dragging Fisher caught in a car window resulting in his broken arm — was false. During direct examination, Supino claimed she first heard of the 1979 event only after her arrest. She altered one account claiming Gregory was the driver in the February 1983 incident.

Supino’s denial of these events prompted an exchange between the defendant and Jacobsen containing a string of repudiation by the accused.

Get to Know Newton shows progress through year one

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A little more than a year ago, the City of Newton launched the Get to Know Newton campaign to help develop a new identity and brand for the community.

Management Analyst Natalie Umsted gave an update on the progress the campaign has made in the last year and where it is going in the coming year at the Monday council meeting.

“We wanted to launch a new logo and brand because in the past several years Newton has really struggled with maintaining a positive identity and image of itself. Not only is it updating a logo, but its also a matter of creating a rallying point for Newton citizens and then working to get positive regional attention for Newton throughout central Iowa,” Umsted said.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Updating signage with the Get to Know Newton logo was a part of the rebranding campaign that has been rolled out over the past year in the City of Newton.

The city hired a consulting firm and together with staff came up with “Get to Know Newton,” an attention-getting statement she said

A May jury trial is scheduled for a Cedar Rapids woman accused of biting her 5-year-old son on the cheek while outside of a Newton convenience store.

Marty, Sandy Boller to speak at the Haven Vineyard Church

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Join Marty and Sandy Boller for a Night with the Holy Spirit at 6 p.m. Feb. 27 at the Haven Vineyard Church, 207 First Ave. E. The Bollers have spoken at the church once before and served as mentors for Pastors Caz and Jane Cibula when they were starting the church in Newton. A soup supper will begin the evening with worship, teaching and ministry to follow.

“They usually bring something really good when they come,” Caz Cibula said.

The Bollers have been active in pastoral ministry since 1985 and were participants with the beginning of what is now the Evanston, Ill. Vineyard Church. They successfully planted two Vineyard churches in Iowa City in 1988 and Cedar Rapids in 1998. The Newton Vineyard church is plant from the Cedar Falls church where Jane’s brother is pastor. The Cedar Falls church was from the original Iowa Vineyard churches.

Marty has written two books on Christian discipleship: “The Perfected Self ” and “The Wisdom of Wimber: As I See It.” He also hosts a popular blog series, The Contemplative Activist. At their churches in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, the cou-

ple started a Vineyard at Home ministry where they meet in homes to encourage people to slow down in order to keep up with Jesus. Home group overseers and hosts are trained in spiritual direction while traditional church programming is replaced with a simple & sustainable discipleship model that focuses on issues of soul care and contemplative activism.

Recently, the Bollers have started training in spiritual direction/spiritual formation with Sustainable Faith receiving their certification as trainers earlier this year. They are looking to take a step back at the churches where they pas-

tor and start to serve the larger body of Christ as contemplative coaches and spiritual directors to all who are looking for Christ-centered direction in their lives.

A contemplative activist, the Bollers said, is one who does their very best at living a fruitful, Christ-centered life. It is a simple and sustainable faith that is rooted in the three major disciplines found in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth: Communion (with God), Community (with others) and Commission (into our world) for the greater glory of God.

After attacks, Europe fights call for mass migration of Jews PARIS (AP) — Despite desecrated Jewish graves in France and a deadly attack at a synagogue in Denmark, European leaders on Monday rejected calls from Israel’s leader for a mass migration of the continent’s Jews to Israel, urging unity instead.

Hundreds of Jewish tombstones were found vandalized in eastern France on Sunday, hours after a Danish Jew guarding a synagogue in Copenhagen was shot to death.

Frenchmen have been accused of three deadly attacks on Jewish sites since 2012: one at a school in the southern city of Toulouse, another at a museum in Brussels and finally one at a kosher market in Paris last month.

Twelve people died in total.

“We know there are doubts, questions across the community,” French President Francois Hollande said Monday. “I will not just let what was said in Israel pass, leading people to believe that

In Brief

Jews no longer have a place in Europe and in France in particular.”

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Monday the government would defend French Jews against what he described as “Islamo-fascism.”

“A Jew who leaves France is a piece of France that is gone,” Valls told RTL radio.

Hollande was to visit the desecrated Jewish cemetery in the small town of Sarre-Union on Tuesday, his office said. Of the 400 tombs in the Sarre-Union cemetery, 250 had been vandalized.

Investigators were questioning five minors, 15- to 17-yearsold, in connection with the vandalized cemetery, said Philippe Vannier, prosecutor of the eastern Bas-Rhin region. One of the five had turned himself in.

All were from the region and none had any criminal record, he said.

They can be held for up to 48 hours before being either charged or released.

In 2014, more than

DIMENSIONS ACCOUNTING Accounting and Income Taxes

7,000 French Jews in a community estimated at around 500,000 left for Israel, more than double the number for 2013. And the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday approved a $46 million plan to encourage still more Jewish immigration from France, Belgium and Ukraine.

The exodus from France accelerated after the March 2012 attacks

by Mohammed Merah, who stormed a Jewish school in Toulouse, killing three children and a rabbi.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that at a time of rising antiSemitism in Europe, Israel is the only place where Jews can truly feel safe.

“This wave of attacks is expected to continue,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet. “Jews deserve security in every country, but we say to our Jewish brothers and sisters, Israel is your home.”

Netanyahu’s comments triggered an angry response from Copenhagen’s chief rabbi,

Audiologist Since 1979

Jair Melchior, who said he was “disappointed” by them.

France’s top security official noted that thousands of police and security forces are now protecting Jewish sites in France after the Paris terror attacks in January, and indicated Netanyahu could be taking advantage of the issue amid a tight election campaign.

“But, election in Israel aside, there is also a reality in France, which is the will of this government to ensure the protection of the Jewish community,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told The Associated Press.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday that her government will do everything possible to make sure Jewish sites are secure.

“We are glad and thankful that there is Jewish life in Germany again,” Merkel said in Berlin. “And we would like to continue living well together with the Jews who are in Germany today.”

Supino Continued from Page 1A “So as you testify here today, the statement by Lori French about if you catch (Fisher and Gregory) again together Melisa ‘will never walk and talk again,’ you say that’s not true?” Jacobsen asked.

“I don’t ever remember saying that to her, no,” Supino said.

“The statement of Pam DeBruyn — the yelling that she heard at Melisa — you say that didn’t happen either?” Jacobsen asked.

“I don’t recall it, no.” Supino said.

“You say the statement that Tyron Jordan heard from you, that you ‘got away with murder once, you could do it again,’ you say that didn’t happen?” Jacobsen asked.

“That didn’t happen,” Supino said.

“And the statement to Allison Simmons (saying) ‘my brother and I killed someone once,’ you say that didn’t happen?” Jacobsen asked.

“No, that didn’t happen,” Supino said.

“So, all these people have heard things you say just didn’t happen?” Jacobsen asked.

In the nearly two hours Supino was on the stand, there was at least one possibly incriminating account which Supino did not refute. Testimony from Fisher’s sister Darlene Illingworth on Feb. 6 detailed an exchanged between the witness and Supino before Fisher’s funeral. Illingworth said to Supino, “at least Steve (Fisher) died with someone he loved.”

Supino admitted Tuesday to responding with “he got what he got for what he was doing.”

Supino claims the comment was referring to Fisher’s role as a drug informant for local law enforcement, “ripping off friends” and stealing small amounts of drugs and money from the CDR — disputing prosecutors’ claim that Supino was referring to Fisher’s infi-

Newton Continued from Page 1A chose a unique logo to stand out on platforms like Facebook or Twitter, rather than something that would just make a pretty sign or letter head, she said.

Communication about the brand was built on a narrative of the three most attractive qualities the city has to offer: education, recreation and location, she said. They wanted the imagery and language to be friendly, fun and bright, focusing on family-oriented activities through photography and showing Newton as a fun, unique place to live, she said.

The consulting firm gave the city a brand blueprint to follow through the first year

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News The camper where Melisa Gregory died in 1983 is parked on a trailer Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015, outside the Black Hawk County Courthouse in Waterloo. Theresa Supino is accused of killing her husband, Steven Fisher and his girlfriend, Gregory, whose bodies were found on the Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton in 1983.

delity.

Illingworth also testified that Supino was carrying Fisher’s Social Security card at the funeral home following the murders — a fact which Supino also denied Tuesday. Illingworth said Fisher always kept the card in his wallet which he never left home without. The wallet was missing after Fisher’s murder and investigators never found the pocketbook.

Supino said she produced a paper with Fisher’s Social Security number written on it, not the physical card. The defendant testified to placing an ad in 1983 asking for the public’s helping finding Fisher’s wallet.

Supino also admitted to returning to the crime scene March 8, 1983 with Tim Supino to put the top on the Chevy Blazer owned by Fisher. Tim Supino testified that his sister pointed to where Fisher’s body was lying after his death, and the defendant claimed she had heard the information from rumors and police statements and not first-hand knowledge.

The defense also put Whitney Wilcox — mother of two of Supino’s grandchildren — on the stand to refute former boyfriend Tyron Jordan’s testimony, stating Supino threat-

“I’ve made an itemized check list of all of the things they told us to do and we have done pretty much all of it.

Accomplishments from the blueprint include applying the city logo to city vehicles, updating signage with the logo and making shirts, stickers and a talking points brochure.

The city also has an expanded presence on social media through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with Umsted giving an example from Twitter where someone who drove by Newton asked if NASCAR raced at the speedway,

testified she heard the defendant say “my brother and I killed somebody.”

“Because of those statements, whether you characterize them as admissions against interest or however you want to characterize them, I believe that evidence is sufficient to provide a prima facie case that is required by the state to allow this case to be decided by the jury and not the court as a matter of law.”

Failed acquittal Before Supino’s testimony, Iowa 5th District Court Judge Terry Rickers denied a motion by her attorneys for acquittal, stating he believes county prosecutors have presented insufficient evidence to allow jurors to decide Supino’s fate.

Judge Rickers ruled that one common thread was missing throughout the court cases cited by the defense as precedent for acquittal — evidence of incriminating statements by the defendant.

The court referenced two statements by state witnesses considered by county prosecutors as alleged confessions.

Witness Tyron Jordan, father of the defendant’s grandchildren, claimed Supino threatened him in 2005 stating “I got away with murder once, I can get away with it again.” The second witness cited by Judge Rickers is Supino’s former coworker Allison Simmons, who

The campaign has also been a part of many activities and events with centerpiece being the Get to Know Newton 250 race at the Iowa Speedway. Newton vs. Newton competition with Newton, Kan. was to promote community pride that Newton, Iowa won.

The Get to Know Newton campaign was also involved with Fourth of July activities, the Iowa Sculpture Festival and Thanks with Franks.

The brand has also expanded to community brands with the Newton Development Corporation, Newton Main Street and the Newton Housing Development Corporation incorporating the Get to Know Newton brand in their logos.

State rests Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen and First Assistant County Attorney Scott Nicholson rested their case Tuesday, handing the floor to the defense.

Following nine days of testimony at the Black Hawk County Courthouse, prosecutors presented their final piece of evidence Tuesday morning — the actual camper trailer in which Gregory was brutally murdered with Fisher lying in a similar condition outside.

The state secured and transported the trailer to Waterloo.

Jurors walked to a location near the Black Hawk County Courthouse, and had the opportunity to examine the outside and inside of the murder

“It’s really starting to be a community brand and a community identity and rallying point, which is exactly what we are trying to create,” Umsted said.

Coming in 2015 are more events highlighting the housing campaign, Get to Know Newton leadership class at DMACC and a neighborhood post card project. Newton vs. Newton 2 is planned for later in the year along with a photo challenge, social media take overs and #Red Pride T-shirts.

“Overall we have the goal of having more regional press releases, more videos, more testimonials, more giveaways and more fun,” Umsted said.

scene. Jurors spent approximately 20 minutes inside the garage which housed the trailer in Waterloo with Supino, attorneys, Judge Rickers and sheriff ’s deputies present.

Halferty said during testimony Monday, investigators in 1983 returned the trailer to former CDR owner Hal Snedeker. After he began reviewing the case in 2003, Halferty and then-Jasper County Sheriff Mike Balmer tracked the trailer to a new owner in southern Iowa. The camper was still in use and had been altered since the murders. Cabinets hanging over the bench where Gregory was found were replaced with a metal deck hanging 4 inches lower than the removed interior. It was not seized from the new owner until January 2014 — purchased by the department for $250.

Judge Rickers said Friday the trailer has been cleaned since the 1983 murders, but prosecutors hope to give the jury a sense of the size and space the killer would have been forced to navigate during the attacks.

The state called nearly 40 witnesses to the stand, ranging from Iowa DCI agents to forensic specialists to family and friends of the victims and defendant.

Approximately eight additional witnesses are expected to take the stand on Supino’s behalf, including her brother Carlo Supino Jr. — the family member with whom she was staying with at the time of the 1983 murders.

Prior to court proceedings, attorneys estimated the case would be sent to the jury for deliberation by Friday.

I’ve run out of patience with ‘Kanyadians’

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Feb. 18, 2015

There are certainly heavier subjects to take on than celebrity behavior. Nearly any military who have recently returned from overseas duty would probably agree.

But if I must indulge in such frivolity, and spend 600 words and a few minutes on someone who doesn’t deserve the energy, it might as well be with Kanye West.

It isn’t only West’s ridiculous statements or actions that seem to bother me, or the complete lack of effort that seems to go into his socalled music.

It’s the millions of fans, who I’m guessing are mostly younger listeners, who find West to be a misunderstood genius and defend him and call him an artist.

West’s on-stage antics during and after the 57th annual Grammys were the latest in a long history of award-show interruptions with self-serving grandstanding.

As if having videos and songs aggrandizing and self-praising weren’t enough, West has to be even more the center of attention — and awards show producers allow it, mistaking his boneheaded selfishness for courage. Sadly, a

generation of fans, who can already broadcast ignorance as far as their social network and their technology savvy will allow, are being led by this new level of mefirst mentality.

Even when West is discussing racism and other worthy topics, he comes off as selfish — even by the incredibly high self-obsessed standards of the male rap world. His followers, while certainly handed a bag of damaged pop-culture leaders by my generation and those before, are rarely questioning West’s silliness, and don’t really know enough history to know how out of touch West has become.

My term for West’s apologists — “Kanyadians” — is not meant to insult anyone born north of the border, but it does involve their home country, as many Americans have been accused of “heading for Canada” when not supporting West or towing the party line of the establishment.

Even Saturday Night Live’s lampooning of West, an ill-deserving musical guest amid the likes of Paul McCartney and Paul Simon in Sunday night’s 40th-

anniversary special, couldn’t make his prime-time antics seem less immature.

West has won 21 Grammys, making him one of the most successful artists of his era. Yet he complains about one thing or another, ad nauseam, and none of his whining seems to set off anything but his most sensible fans.

Kanyadians seem willing to overlook mistakes such as West waiting for two handicapped fans to stand up at a September concert, or to make excuses for Obama because blacks don’t have as much money or connections as Jews. They’ll pretty much give him a pass on anything, as long as recording-industry people keep delivering something new of his to download.

I’ve always leaned toward calling athletes and other entertainers and leaders role models — no matter what Charles Barkley says — even though their lifestyle seems to lead them in the other direction.

Operating under a heavy glare is tough. High compensation and the privileges of trav-

eling to fascinating places and meeting amazing people should make it worth it to try. Trying is something Kanyadians don’t really value, and that’s one of the reasons I’m the most concerned about West’s popularity.

History is filled with examples of folks who stumbled into success, but West not only doesn’t put effort into his alleged artwork, but he doesn’t put effort into well-calculated thoughtful public statements, being aware there are other people around him, or giving his child a normal name. North West will be followed throughout her life, thanks partly to her name.

Kanyadians would be better served following an orator with actual talent, such as slam poet Hakim Bellamy or even an actor such as Denzel Washington. If one studies prophets, think how far Washington or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. towers above the Kanyadians’ idol.

Local GOP to host Common Core forum Thad Nearmyer Monroe A few months ago, I was talking to a friend who is involved in education about the latest things I had heard regarding the national Common Core education standards. I had never heard anything positive about

it, so as I discovered new bits of information, I would pass them on to him. He said no one else is talking to him about this and he doesn’t see much wrong with it.

Well, I took this as a challenge to dig a little deeper on the topic. I talked to some folks in education and local leaders for their opinions. As a result, the Republican Party of Jasper

County is hosting a public forum on Common Core at 7 p.m.

Monday, Feb. 23 at the Jasper County Community Center, 2401 First Ave. E. in Newton.

We have invited speakers offering differing views on the topic.

If you would like to learn more about Common Core you may RSVP to jaspergop@gmail.com or call 641-891-8863.

Keystone Pipeline: Foreign profits, American risk

By Katherine McFate Media coverage of the Keystone XL pipeline is coalescing around a single narrative.

It goes like this: environmentalists oppose the pipeline because of climate change concerns, and U.S. construction companies support the pipeline because it creates jobs. Environmentalists warn that tar sands crude oil has three times the global warming potential of conventional crude. Oil industry interests shrug and say Canadian companies will continue to extract tar sands, with or without the pipeline. Pipeline opponents then counter: fewer than 50 permanent jobs will be needed to staff the pipeline, a few thousand temporary construction jobs to build it. But this rendering of the debate misses the larger picture.

Americans have been told for the past several years by the petroleum industry and members of Congress that Keystone is “key to America’s energy independence” and will help ensure America has the energy it needs in the future. This is hogwash.

TransCanada wants to build

a pipeline through the farmland and ranches of the United States in order to send its oil to refineries in the Gulf Coast for the export market. This crude is not meant to supply the U.S. market. We have a glut of oil and gas in the U.S. because of largely unregulated fracking going on in 31 states. Between our growing natural gas supply and OPEC’s effort to quash the U.S. energy boom, gas prices are so low that American producers may slow their drilling. The Keystone pipeline will not reduce the cost of gasoline or home heating oil for American consumers.

What a TransCanada pipeline will do is put a major underground water supply at risk. Keystone XL would be built directly above the Ogallala Aquifer, located beneath most of Nebraska and extending to seven other states. The Ogallala is a shallow aquifer, meaning a pipeline spill could easily pollute this drinking water source for two million Americans.

The pipeline would cross thousands of acres of farmland in the Great Plains; a spill could make this

land unusable for years. In 2013, an oil pipeline spilled 840,000 gallons of crude near Tioga, North Dakota, and crews are still working to clean it up. Keystone I, which runs from Canada through Illinois, had 14 reported leaks during its first year of operation.

TransCanada has been criticized for failing to comply with Canadian safety regulations, and the company does not intend to use the latest safety technology to detect spills along the Keystone XL route. With the pipeline travelling through miles of grassland, leaks could go undetected and unaddressed until water and soil are irreparably damaged. In Texas, where pipeline construction has already begun, landowners have reported issues to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and been told that there are not enough inspectors to investigate their claims.

An additional concern is the impact on the Gulf.

McFate is the president and CEO of the Center for Effective Government in Washington,D.C.

I’m not really a mall person. Never have been.

I had no tween need to buy t h e uberpopular electronic talking board game M a l l MadBy Katiedid ness.

Langrock No desire to just go to the mall and hang. Folks always claim malls are great for people-watching, but I just never really had the interest.

In fact, the few times I tried to engage in this adolescent rite of passage, horrible things happened. One time, I bought a Backstreet Boys album. The other time, I was arrested for shoplifting. I’m not sure which action is more embarrassing.

Backstreet Boys blew up and fizzled out, but the repercussions of my 14-year-old brush with the law had ‘N Synctype staying power — or, more accurately, Justin Timberlake-type staying power.

I know everyone in Shawshank is innocent, and so was I — innocent of actually having stolen, not innocent from knowing that the friend I was with had stolen.

After paying a fine, I was forbidden to ever enter the department store again. My pleasure; it was just another reason to avoid malls altogether.

Malls do horrible things to you. But malls are also open late. Late on winter nights, when it gets dark early. I had promised my son I’d take him to a park after school. When I got held up at work and had to pick him up late, I hoped he’d forgotten.

His screaming “park!” from the back seat suggested otherwise. Is it bad to wish a poorer memory on your child?

The mall — with its inside playground, featuring padded foam and rubber — seemed the

only choice.

I sat on a bench with other parents, one eye on my son and one eye on a series of incoming texts from my highschool group of friends around news of a new pregnancy in the group.

A family of 10 came into the mall play area.

Something about the way they dressed and styled their hair indicated they were not native.

Their foreign tongue confirmed my theory.

Was that Czech? I only know how to say two words in Czech: bouncy ball and beer. Shockingly, neither of those two words came up in their conversation.

The family was beautiful, with Key lime eyes and honey hair. I, like all the other playground parents, looked up at the family because they were gorgeous. I kept looking at them, however, because they were clearly talking about us. After observing a few pantomimes and moments of shared laughter, I realized they were mocking the playground parents for being on our phones.

It was true. Every last one of us was sitting on a bench with at least one eye fixed on a tiny screen. Every parent, that is, except for the foreigners, who were standing up, aiding their children down the slides.

It reminded me of a time when I was backpacking in Denmark.

A girl who shared my hostel bunk looked me up and down and said, “You’re American.”

I asked how she knew, seeing as I hadn’t spoken a word yet.

The girl smirked.

“Please. Hair in ponytail, white sneakers, ripped knees on jeans — what else could you be?”

I felt furious, as if I had been violated in some way. Her analysis of what my clothing said about me, though completely accurate, made me feel naked. I hated it. I hated being so transparent, so apparently clichéd. I immediately let my hair down.

Colleague’s texts suggest she has more in mind than work DEAR ABBY: My husband is a handsome executive who works out of town. I’m a professional with a responsible job that limits my ability to travel.

I needed to borrow his phone recently and noticed that one of his colleagues has been texting him after hours. She asks if he has traveled safely, tells him she misses him, how much she enjoys working with him — all with romantic emoticons. I’m concerned that the flattery and emoticons indicate she wants more than a workbased relationship. She’s married with kids. How should I approach this? — WORRIED WIFE IN KENTUCKY DEAR WORRIED WIFE: Because there have been more than one of these flirtatious, unbusinesslike communications, assume that your husband hasn’t discouraged them.

Confront him. Tell him you feel what she’s doing is a threat to your marriage, and you want it stopped. But before you do, make copies of the texts so you can confront the woman with them if she doesn’t stop.

DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for a man to talk on his cellphone at the urinal in a public restroom, or for a woman to talk on the phone while using the toilet in one of the stalls?

Also, please remind everyone to wash their hands after using the restroom. — RUSSELL IN RICHLAND, WASH. DEAR RUSSELL: I can think of few things more unpleasant than conversing with someone with the sound of “running water” (or worse) in the background and toilets flushing. Why anyone would do this is beyond me.

It’s very rude.

And, while I can remind people about hand-washing until the cows come home, I’ll suggest instead that men and women who use public restrooms not touch the door handle without a paper towel — when avail-

able — firmly in hand.

DEAR ABBY: I grew up in the ‘90s in a neighborhood where the kids respected their neighbors. I now live in a different state and, obviously, a different era. Neighborhood kids constantly use my steep driveway to ride their bicycles, tricycles and scooters without asking permission.

Am I right in thinking this is rude, because in my opinion, they are trespassing? Not only could I be held responsible if one of them gets hurt on my property, but they also are extremely loud and do this while my children are trying to nap. They have been asked to stop, and I have threatened to talk to their parents, even though I don’t know where they live. What do I do? — FRUSTRATED HOMEOWNER DEAR FRUSTRATED: Discuss this with your insurance broker. You are correct that if one of the children gets hurt on your property you could be liable. You also need to be more proactive than you have been. Tell the kids they are disturbing your children who are trying to nap, and if the kids don’t go away, find out where they live and talk to the other parents. It would be cheaper than having to install a gate in front of your driveway.

MAQUOKETA — A Maquoketa man says three armed men who broke into his home robbed him of money, drugs and the jeans he was wearing at the time.

Police say the men entered Jeremy Naderman’s residence on Sunday night baring handguns. Naderman tells police that the men assaulted him and stole $3,000, marijuana, his wallet and some clothing, including the pants he had on.

Naderman sustained a black eye and chipped teeth in the encounter.

CEDAR FALLS — The City Council has given final approval to a proposal that reduces the number of unrelated people who can live together in a single rental unit in Cedar Falls.

The council voted 6-1 to approve the ordinance Monday night after a 2.5 hour discussion with homeowners and renters.

At some properties, particularly newly registered rental properties, the maximum number of unrelated people who can rent together would change from four to as few as two.

GOWRIE — Officials are considering the installation of a speed camera to address safety concerns in a small central Iowa town that has only one police officer.

Complaints about speeding around the town’s high school and business district prompted the city council to discuss the possibility of a traffic camera at a public meeting Monday, Chief Bruce McCormack of the Gowrie Police Department said.

Senate Dems to introduce medical marijuana bill The Associated Press

The Associated Press DES MOINES — A bill to boost Iowa’s minimum wage won preliminary approval in the Iowa Senate Tuesday, though it may face hurdles in the state House.

A three-member subcommittee backed the bill, with two Democrats and one Republican voting in favor. The bill would gradually raise the state’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75.

Sen. Tony Bisignano, D-Des Moines, said the bill was an overdue effort to help low-wage workers. He said he’d like the wage to be even higher, but said he thought this bill could get bipartisan support. “We think we have placed a figure that would make it unconscionable for anyone to oppose,� he said.

The Republican on the panel, Sen. Rick Bertrand, from Sioux City, said the increase would keep Iowa wages in line with neighboring states.

Iowa play sparks discussion about farmland ownership issues The Associated Press LYTTON — Farmers and their families discussed how they can make better decisions on farmland ownership following an Iowa play which focused on the issue.

During Sunday’s performance of the play titled “Map of My Kingdom� at The Friendship Center in Lytton, Angela Martin, portrayed by Elizabeth Thompson, told the audience how her grandmother’s decision to sell the farm without consulting the family affected her and how similar situations

affected other families.

During an organized discussion after the play, Lytton native Darsi Haddleson said she related to the story because her husband’s father sold their farm without family input. She said her family now rents the land they farm, but she said her husband would have preferred the option to own it.

Theresa Opheim, executive director of the Practical Farms of Iowa, said these types of transitions are likely to become more common, with 35 percent of farmland

owned by people over 75 years old. Opheim and other members of the organization said the purpose of the play was to get families talking about their goals for their farmland and deciding how to financially and legally reach them. “The biggest thing that we want to put out there on the table is to start talking about this idea,� said Kurt Vanhulzen, a Practical Farms of Iowa board member who led the discussion. “This is an issue that is going to take some communication.

DES MOINES — Certain Iowa businesses would be allowed to produce and distribute medical marijuana under legislation Senate Democrats say they will introduce in an effort to expand the availability of cannabis for Iowa patients.

Sen. Joe Bolkcom of Iowa City told The Associated Press on Monday that Senate Democrats would bring forward the legislation this session.

His comments came after two Senate committees earlier in the day heard from a group of Iowa residents who described difficulties in trying to obtain medical marijuana to treat personal or family illnesses.

Republican Gov. Terry Branstad signed a bill into law last year that allows for the use of oil derived from marijuana to treat chronic epilepsy.

But the law didn’t provide any way for people to make or distribute the extract in Iowa, and it prohibits any other form of medical marijuana.

The proposed legislation would create a program that monitors the production and distribution of medical marijuana. It is similar to legislation in other states, according to Bolkcom.

The legislation is also similar to a measure last session that would have allowed other types of medical marijuana but failed to garner enough support. Bolkcom said that he expects resistance this year in the Republican-controlled House but that last year’s law shows that there’s a willingness among lawmakers to help residents who are sick.

Branstad said at a press conference earlier Monday that he doesn’t know if additional legislation on medical marijuana will pass this session.

He said lawmakers must consider the unintended consequences of expanding its use in Iowa.

However, Branstad did say he was open to working with officials in Illinois to let Iowa residents travel there to access medical marijuana. Illinois lawmakers recently passed legislation for a pilot program that allows companies to manufacture and distribute medical marijuana in the state.

Branstad’s spokesman said the governor needs to discuss the issue further with Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner.

10-cent fuel tax increase moving ahead in Iowa Legislature The Associated Press DES MOINES — A plan to hike the state’s fuel tax by 10 cents kept moving quickly through the Iowa Legislature on Tuesday.

A Senate Committee backed the bill in a 9-3 vote.

The 10-cent increase would provide about $215 million annually for the state’s network of bridges and roads, many of which are in disrepair.

Similar proposals have failed to advance in past years, but Gov. Terry Branstad and legislative leaders have been

vocal this year about raising money for infrastructure. The Senate bill now moves to another committee. A similar effort is moving through the House.

Sen. Tod Bowman, D-Maquoketa, said he is optimistic the bill will win final passage.

“I’m hopeful Iowans will be glad we’re taking care of the roads and bridges that are deteriorating,� he said.

Education Briefs Berg Middle School Fall 2014 7th grade honor roll

AP Photo In this Monday photo provided by WCHS-TV, fire burns at the scene of a train derailment, near Mount Carbon, W.Va. Fires burned for nearly nine hours after the train carrying more than 100 tankers of crude oil derailed in a snowstorm, plunging at least one tanker into a river while sending a fireball into the sky, authorities and residents say.

Train carrying 3 million gallons of crude still burning The Associated Press MOUNT CARBON, W.Va. (AP) — Oil cars were still burning more than a day after a train carrying 3 million gallons of North Dakota crude derailed in a West Virginia snowstorm, shooting fireballs into the sky.

Hundreds of families were evacuated after losing their drinking water and electricity when 19 tank cars slammed into each other and caught fire, leaking oil into a Kanawha River tributary and burning a nearby house down to its foundation.

“There’s nothing there,” said Democratic

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who toured the scene.

“All you can see is a couple of blocks sticking out of the ground. There’s some pickup trucks out front completely burned to the ground.”

One person — the homeowner — was treated for smoke inhalation, but no other injuries were reported, according to the train company, CSX. The two-person crew, an engineer and conductor, managed to decouple the train’s engines from the wreck behind it and walk away unharmed.

The train derailed near unincorporated Mount Carbon just after passing through Montgomery, a town of 1,946,

on a stretch where the rails wind past businesses and homes crowded between the water and the steep, tree-covered hills.

Fire crews had little choice Tuesday but to let the tanks burn themselves out. Each carries up to 30,000 gallons of crude.

These rail shipments jumped from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to more than 435,000 in 2013, driven by a boom in the Bakken oil patch of North Dakota and Montana, where pipeline limitations force 70 percent of the crude to move by rail, according to American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers.

At summit, Obama aims to broaden world approach to extremism WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — The summit President Barack Obama is convening Wednesday on the threat of violent extremism is not the summit he envisioned.

Planned for last October, the summit never happened before the midterm elections. In the months since, the situa-

tion has just gotten worse, with the Islamic State group metastasizing and European cities learning firsthand that extremism’s reach is not confined to the Middle East.

“In just a very short period of time we’ve come a long way in terrorist organizations’ ability to communicate,” Home-

land Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Wednesday as he opened the second day of the three-day event. “They have the ability to reach into our communities and attempt to recruit and inspire individuals who may turn toward violence right here in the homeland.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

DES MOINES — Newton High’s Cardinal girls missed out a year ago. They came up short at home in the state qualifying tournament.

Not in 2015. Led by senior Melanie Stice,

the Cardinal girls won Tuesday’s Class 2A District Substate championship, qualifying for the state bowling tournament.

Newton High’s boys stumbled a bit at Plaza Lanes Tuesday in Des Moines. They were after a second straight trip to

a state bowling tournament. The Cardinal boys finished third behind champion Des Moines Hoover and Norwalk.

Newton’s girls were in the lead following the individual games. The Cardinals had a 1,655 pin count to Norwalk’s 1,450. Des Moines North was in third at the time with 1,432 and Des Moines Hoover was fourth at 1,264.

The Cardinal girls did not let up, rolling up the top score in the Baker games — 820 — to secure the substate

championship and a state tournament berth.

Newton’s girls won with a total of 2,475 followed by North with 2,223. Norwalk was third at 2,187 and Hoover was fourth at 1,835.

Stice rolled a teamhigh 403 with games of 221 and 182 for the Newton girls. That total placed her second in the individual standings.

Junior Madison Humphrey was fourth as an individual with a 346 total (188-158).

Freshman Alyssa White

placed sixth with a 333 (178-155).

Senior Erica Bailey finished with a 314 on games of 164 and 150.

Courtney Tabor, also a senior, had a 259 (114145).

Junior Mariah Gonzales had a 232 (127105) which did not count in the team scoring.

Newton’s girls had scores of 148-171-179176-146 in the Baker games.

The Cardinal girls return to Plaza Lanes Feb. 24 for the Class 2A state tournament.

Newton’s boys were sitting third after the individual games. They had a pin total of 1,708.

Hoover was in the lead at 1,842 and Norwalk was second at 1,797.

North had 1,700.

“The boys finished third against some tough competition of Hoover and Norwalk,” said Brett Jacobs, Newton head bowling coach.

“We struggled with some splits and converting several single pin spares.”

Wanting to win motivates Lee, ready for state

age Lee. He found he loved the sport, which for him meant he had to work hard in the offseason.

“I wanted to win,” Lee said of his dedication to work in the offseason and during the season.

Lee’s work came to fruition Saturday at Ankeny Centennial High

School. Though he came up short of a Class 3A district championship at 195 pounds, Lee qualified for the 2015 Iowa High School Class 3A State Wrestling Tournament.

He opens his first state tournament Thursday morning at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Fifth-rated Clark gets favorable draw at state wrestling tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Tristan Clark had high expectations for his return trip to the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships before he knew what the Class 2A 126-pound bracket looked like.

But after seeing the draw he was given by the state Saturday night,

the expectations may have gotten a little easier to live up to.

Clark, a Prairie CityMonroe senior who comes into his second state tournament as the fifth-ranked wrestler at 126 pounds, won’t have to face another ranked wrestler until at least the semifinals. And seven of the ranked wrestlers in the field are positioned on the other side of the

bracket.

“The draw was about as good as we could have asked for,” PCM coach Cory Waddell said.

“The sky’s the limit for Tristan. I truly expect him to be wrestling for a spot in the finals on Friday night.”

Iowa once again closed to 73-72 on a Logic 3-pointer with 7:31 to play, but the Gophers pushed their advantage back to 10 on a Mikayla Bailey 3-pointer with 2:18 left.

Astrograph Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015

The new moon in Aquarius reminds us that we are all connected. Nothing, not even death, can split the grid. You will receive tremendous energy from sources you haven’t thought of as fuel in the past. For instance, your ancestors (dead or alive) will lend an energetic boost.

The wind sings praises.

Nature orchestrates dancing music.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 18). You’ll dream up ways to get rich this year.

Having your own business is one route to wealth, and also you’ll have a knack for picking the right investment. Someone who builds a fortune out of almost nothing will inspire you.

Disassociate yourself from a negative influence, and a beautiful person drops into your life in April. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 3, 29, 15 and 17.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t mind taking on other people’s perspective as a way of finding out where they are coming from. Just be sure to give

that perspective back after you try it on, because your own perspective will serve you much better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). According to one song, sleeping eyes never lie.

Last night’s dreams had some rather interesting truths hidden inside them, if you can remember that far back. If not, the same truth will show up in your day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Where’s your stash of mad cash? You know, the money you can spend on whatever you want, no guilt. You’ll find something worthy of purchase today.

If you don’t have this kind of a stash, it’s a lucky time to start saving.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Truth-telling time: You don’t mind inclement weather because it gives you an excuse to stay in.

When the weather is fine, you don’t have the excuse, and you’ll have to create one. You just really want to stay in.

GEMINI (May 21-June

21). There’s something you want to know, and you might go so far as to snoop to figure it out. Is this wrong? You’ll have to make the moral determinations alone, because if you tell, the whole thing changes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll debate staying in or going out. This probably pertains to the weekend, but you have to make the decision now because your plans won’t come together if you wait.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Being cool won’t necessarily make you happy. Also, if you know better, smiling and nodding won’t work.

Dare to be uncool, and don’t go along with things you know aren’t quite right.

vaudeville routine involving three comedians in which the comedian who got the punchline also got a banana. You’re top banana today, getting all the laughs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s time to face the fact that you have real needs that are not being met. A breathtaking moment is the main feature of the day. You’ll be talking about this one with your best friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes it feels like you’re being forced to act like you’re having fun. Roll with it, and then don’t be surprised when the act turns into actual fun and lots of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Having your work cut out for you is actually a good thing when you think about it -- better than having your work uncut and trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your habits will define you, at least in the eyes of others. This is the reason you try so hard today to change one of them, and if you keep trying daily for the rest of February, you’ll succeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Lee Continued from Page 1B Lee takes a 34-10 record into the tournament. His opening-round opponent is Boris Petrusic (25-13) of Johnston.

“It’s a great feeling to be going to state. I like my draw in the first match of the state.

I’ve wrestled him before this season,” Lee said.

Newton head coach Andy Swedenhjelm said Lee wrestled Petrusic the first weekend of the year, but Lee is a different wrestler than he was then.

“We’re excited about the first match. Duncan has the right kind of attitude where he goes out and does what he can on the mat,” Swedenhjelm said. “He doesn’t get too intimidated by anyone.”

Lee talked of his run through the district tournament last Saturday.

“District championship match, you obviously want to go out and win. I was hoping the kid I beat in the semifinal won the third-place match because I knew I had a challenge ahead of me in the final,” Lee said.

The district championship match against Deion Mikesell of Southeast Polk wasn’t his best match of the season, Lee said. Mikesell scored a technical fall, 17-2, at the 5:06 mark.

“But, I knew I was going to state, so it took a little of the sting out of that,” he said.

Lee opened the district tournament with a pin of Ethan Chipps of Ankeny Centennial in the quarterfinals. He said he knew he had to win the semifinal to have

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Duncan Lee has gone from a 160-pound wrestler a year ago to a muscular 195-pound competitor for Newton High this season. Lee is competing in the 2015 Class 3A state tournament in Des Moines starting Thursday.

the opportunity to qualify for state.

The semifinal match was in Lee’s words the quintessential big-guy match with neither he nor Devan Mann of Marshalltown doing much in the first period. Each scored a point on escapes in the second and third periods.

“He took a bad shot for a takedown and I scored a takedown with a front headlock to go up 3-1. He escaped then I tried to not get taken down. I took him down again right at

the end when he made a desperation shot at a takedown,” Lee said of a 5-2 win over Mann in the district semifinal.

A year ago, Lee wrestled at 160 pounds. He did not win a varsity match as a sophomore, which was his first year in the sport.

“I was on the fence about wrestling, but one of my baseball coaches encouraged me to go out for wrestling,” Lee said. “We had a new coach last year, so I decided to go

out. I liked it enough last year to come and put the work in during the offseason. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Lee is one of seven juniors in the Class 3A 195-pound weight class at the state tournament.

“You have to win matches at state. All the kids are good at state, so I’m going into this week with the attitude of one match at a time and wrestling my match,” Lee said.

There are three state tournament returners at 195. Se-

State Continued from Page 1B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully freshman Josh Dunsbergen, front, lost to West Marshall’s Hunter Pfantz in the sectional and district finals but still clinched his first state tournament berth with runner-up finishes at 106 pounds.

Dunsbergen is 21-12 on the year.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Charles Robertson had never even wrestled in a sectional tournament before this season. Thursday, the Raider junior will be a part of the state wrestling meet at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Robertson qualified as a Class 1A district runner-up at 220 pounds.

is currently unranked but has been ranked this season. Niyibizi (34-9) upset RolandStory’s Parker Witthuhn, 6-4, in the district finals. Clark (41-3) has beaten Witthuhn three times this season.

The other two area wrestlers competing at the state meet later this week weren’t so fortunate with their draws.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Charles Robertson will face second-ranked and undefeated Clay Meinders of AGWSR in the opening round, while Lynnville-Sully freshman Josh Dunsbergen drew fourth-ranked Blake Bauer of Southeast Warren.

Robertson (24-8) has top-ranked, undefeated and defending state champion Ryan Parmely of Maquoketa Valley on his side of the 1A 220-pound bracket along with fifth-ranked Tate VanDyne of Southeast Warren, seventhranked Dustin Brown of West Lyon and 10th-ranked Jared Brinkman of Iowa City Regina.

VanDyne went 1-2 at last year’s state meet with the one win coming against Brinkman in an elimination match.

Aside from facing the fourth-ranked Bauer (48-3) in the opening round, Dunsbergen (21-12) also has fifth-ranked Gable Fox of Don Bosco and sixth-ranked TJ Schott of Iowa City Regina on his half of the 1A 106-pound bracket.

If Clark gets past the junior Niyibizi on Thursday, he would face either Decorah junior Devin Stortz (30-9) or Spirit Lake freshman Adam Skopec (34-11) in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Then, the semifinals later that night could pit Clark against second-seeded Brice Everson of Camanche.

Everson (40-4) and topranked Ryan Leisure (43-1) of Clear Lake are the favorites to win the state title.

Both Clark and Everson went 1-2 at 126 pounds last year at state, while Leisure was the state runner-up at

niors Colin Kreiter of North Scott, Mikesell and Joe Brett of Dowling Catholic finished third, fifth and eighth, respectively, in the weight division in the 2014 state tournament.

The 195-pound bracket features nine of the top 10 ranked wrestlers.

In Lee’s side of the bracket are Kreiter, who is ranked No. 2 at 38-1. Kreiter wrestles Ryan Kenneally (34-13) of Epworth in the opening round.

If Lee wins his opener, he will face the winner of Kreiter and Kenneally the quarterfinals. A loss puts Lee in the consolation side of the bracket.

Also in the bottom portion of the 16-man bracket is topranked Sam Cook (38-1) of Fort Dodge and No. 3-ranked Chris Thomas (43-5) of Lewis Central. Cook has Jordan Dedrick (25-7) of Waterloo West and Thomas takes on Kyle Salazar (25-13) of Oskaloosa in the first round.

Mikesell (25-8), who defeated Lee in the championship match of Saturday’s Class 3A District 1 tournament, is ranked fourth and in the top half of the bracket.

He takes on William White (17-23) of Des Moines East.

Fifth-ranked Chance Cary (37-13) of Pleasant Valley wrestles No. 8 Taylor Mehmen (32-7) of Cedar Rapids Prairie. Seventh-ranked Brett (21-10) takes on No. 9-ranked Jamir Moore (15-4) of Waverly-Shell Rock. Zach Haggstrom (38-11) of Glenwood is ranked No. 10 and wrestles Isaiah Cox (46-3) of Ottumwa.

113 pounds.

Clark and Niyibizi have common opponents, too.

Niyibizi went 1-1 against Witthuhn, while Clark was 3-0. Niyibizi defeated Gilbert’s Brock Harris 12-4, but Clark pinned Harris three times.

Clark pinned Saydel’s Devon Van Houten earlier this year, while Niyibizi won 4-2 at sectionals.

“On paper we should win,” Waddell said. “(Niyibizi) has a good double-leg takedown but isn’t as good on the mat.

The matchup is what we want. He is a tough kid, but they are all tough at the state tournament.”

Meinders, Robertson’s opening-round opponent at 1A 220, is 40-0 this year and was third a year ago. Win or lose, Robertson will not face a ranked opponent in his second match.

That bout will be against either Panorama senior Marcus Boldy (36-8) or Southwest Iowa senior Bret Blackburn (34-6).

Other than that, every other wrestler Robertson could face on his side of the bracket will have a ranking before his name.

“Record is only a number.

What it comes down to is how it works out on the mat,” Robertson said. “My expectations for that first day is to go out there and wrestle hard and see where that takes me.”

Dunsbergen’s draw was not near as challenging as Robertson’s but still comes with a certain degree of difficulty.

Like Robertson, win or lose in the opening round, and the next opponent will be unranked.

That bout will be against either Logan-Magnolia freshman Wyatt Crocker (35-11) or South Winneshiek senior Cody Fisher (21-12).

West Lyon sophomore Justin Severson (27-23) and Panorama sophomore George Appleseth (30-12) also are on Dunsbergen’s half of the bracket.
